THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES EP. : 1 / PT. : 109

~ Hi all!  ~
 
 
Perhaps I'm dating myself and perhaps I am definitely dating myself.
For those of you here that couldn't quite comprehend that (and you know who you are),
I meant that I was showing my age and not going out for a movie and  then dancing.
 
I had a flashback this morning to an episode of Star Trek (original series) from 1967
that went by the same title as this post: "The Trouble With Tribbles"
 

 
Tribbles were these small furry innocuous little beasties that everyone immediately fell in
love with. They even found a tender spot in Spock's cold heart who, at any other time,
would probably just have eaten it as a matter of course.
 
Tribbles only had one small flaw: they were breeders plain and simple.
And breed they did. And overran the Enterprise they did.
 
It was a cute little show.
 
 
 
That show reminded me, in turn, of something else.
 
I had looked into USM yesterday morning to see what dreck Hey Larry had posted as his "Joke of the Week".
 
There was nothing there! No J.O.T.W at all!
I have sorta been in touch with H.L. and was wondering why he had not made his post but declined to ask
for the simple sake that I didn't want him to start feeling all special because maybe, just maybe, people cared.
 
I checked back again this morning and was startled at all the Tribbles now infesting USM.
They were blocking out the titles to the posts and the sheer glare was enough to make tired eyes even wearier.
 
I should never have doubted that Hey Larry would fail in making the day something to regret.
 
I took a screenshot:
 
 
TRIBBLES!   OH NO!
 
After the initial shock, I got to thinking that maybe George and Ginger might be taking in some
extra revenue; call it filthy lucre as I'm sure some of you will, by breeding these Tribbles here
to help offset the continuing expenses of running the site much as it was done in the very early
years with "people" posting notices and looking for assistance in locating dear Aunt Amelia and
cousin Fred, both of whom went missing while flying across the ocean. An Unsolved Mystery.
 
 
That has to be what's going on.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

How it changed my life:

I want a Tribble!

...if a mama Tribble is expecting to have three babies, would that make them Triblets?

  
Date: 7/3/2023 4:27:00 AM  From Authorid: 5940    Aha! I knew you were a street hustler trying to make a fast buck passing off phoney Rolex watches and Gucci bags. Now I realize that you’re in cahoots with a business partner from Florida, passing off tribbles as a high end food source. No doubt you already knew that they’re also used to make god awful toupees like the one your business partner wears. ( he swears by it, and goes well with an Orange shade)

  
Date: 7/3/2023 10:09:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

...Tribbles ARE a high-end food source as can be readily
witnessed by the fact that Vulcans love the flavor.

What greater testament do you require?

  
Date: 7/3/2023 10:10:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

...Do you have a problem with the Gulex watches and Rocci handbags?
You may consider calling our customer care department at 1-800-328-7448
The number again is 1-800-EAT-7448

  
Date: 7/3/2023 10:40:00 AM  From Authorid: 5940    I noticed you never mentioned a word about those moving toupees and how once they stop moving you have to order another one to replace it due to the funny smell and buzzards circling overhead.  
Date: 7/3/2023 10:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 5940    That 800 number is bogus.All I get is a looping recorded message that tells me to please hold , your call is important to us and then asks for my bank account, credit card and the name of my firstborn child.  
Date: 7/3/2023 1:14:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

...I didn't mention the toupees because I wanted them out of your mind so
you would be even more pleasantly surprised when FedEx knocks on your door.

I saved money on package delivery charges by including some stuff that has
to be passed off to your next door neighbor Rocco. Give him the bundles of
fifties and the case of Electronic Pull My Finger Games. Thanks!

  
Date: 7/3/2023 1:17:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

...I'm looking into the way you were treated on the 1-800 number.
You just can't hire good people any more. Heads will roll!
They were also supposed to request your house and car keys.

  
Date: 7/3/2023 1:20:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

...they would have also mandated that you show up for frequent
blood donations too but your renown as a boozer precedes you.

  
Date: 7/3/2023 1:31:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

...oh oh oh...I almost forget to address the replacement of the funny smell and
buzzards circling overhead you so desire. You took another shower, didn't you?

...I was envisioning what one of those Tribbles would look like on top
of Donnie's head and all I could see was an Octogenarian Herman's Hermit.

My apologies to Peter Noone and the gang. I didn't mean to be hurtful.

  
Date: 7/3/2023 2:33:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

CORRECTION CORRECTION CORRECTION

An Octogenarian Herman's Hermit that
had been bitten by a radioactive
Jabba the Hutt.

  
Date: 7/3/2023 3:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    So what did you think of the tribbles?

"L.D."---I'll take moose over tribbles any day.

kronk---I know what you mean. I tried a couple with "fava beans and a nice chianti," and ended up coughing up hairballs for a week.

"L.D."---Ugh!
  
Date: 7/3/2023 5:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 5940    My “ renown” as a boozer merely makes it slightly more difficult to locate a vein to draw blood from. That’s why I’ve managed to live this long as I have avoiding bloodsuckers such as yourself. Keys to my car and house? Are you kidding? I take a bus from the halfway house to work everyday and they won’t provide a key since I have a horrible time getting back by curfew. Hence , why I miss shower time every other day.  
Date: 7/3/2023 5:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 5940    Oh, your fantasies regarding Peter Noone are best kept to yourself. This is a “ G” rated site. Thank you in advance fo4 your cooperation.  
Date: 7/3/2023 6:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hekler always has such interesting posts. His reference to "PT 109" was totally over the top.

"L.D."---I agree. In those days, "men were men and women were glad of it."

kronk---Righto! Kennedy's boat had three 1,500 horsepower engines. Man, I could literally smoke the blue crabs with such a beast!

"L.D."---Nah..If I had that much torque at my disposal, I'd smuggle bananas into Salt Lake City.

kronk---Ugh??? Wasn't that a song by "Ace of Base?"

"L.D."---????

  
Date: 7/3/2023 7:47:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

KRONK! L.D.! Great to see you both again as I come out of my burrow
to estimate how many more months of wildfires we're going to have.

I'm going to reply to you two first instead of old "Pick Me!, Pick Me!
Whatshisface" up there.

So guys, what COULD you do with a crab boat on sterois?

L.D...you're probably the kind of dog that likes to mix up his fun with
his work if I'm any judge of character, am I right?
You could operate the hopped up and freshly rechristened "Mr. Krabs"
while Kronk yanked crab traps as he enjoyed himself water skiing.

As a side business, you could power up those three Packard 12-cylinder
behemoths and ferry people anywhere they wanted to go as long as it
wasn't in Texas any more. Talk about a get rich quick scheme!

Kronk...I have a question for you about the hairballs.
Did you experience these before or after you gave L.D. his bath?

  
Date: 7/4/2023 1:43:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

...now, back to the prima donna.

I guess you're living the dream by not having to worry
about people kidnapping you out of the ditch and harvesting
your organs. Good solid thinking there.

  
Date: 7/4/2023 4:15:00 AM  From Authorid: 5940    It’s better than subway surfing let me tell you!  
Date: 7/6/2023 6:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hekler "L.D." here: It must have been around 130,000 BC, or thereabouts. A group of Homo Floreiensis were trying to get a fire started, down in what is present day Cambodia. "They" ended burning 14 million acres of first growth jungle, in the process. That fire burned nonstop, for two and a half years. I was in the area, hunting king cobra and almost got roasted. Anyway, stay cool.

As far as the powerboat goes, kronk is such a slob that I doubt anybody would make it past the smell of any boat he managed.

kronk---Where do you get off talking like that about me, dog?

"L.D."---Do you deny that your present crab boat smells like an abandoned big eye tuna cannery? Even the ship rats avoid your boat.

kronk---Ugh! I'm too tired, at the end of the day, to swab the decks. I tried to hire people to clean the thing, but they demand too much money.

"L.D."---The only thing that would help that thing is to scuttle it. (bore holes in the hull and sink it)
  
Date: 7/6/2023 6:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hekler Is there ever "enough" horsepower? I like your idea. I have actually been approached by a rather bizarre career politician about transporting life long
democratic voters from Boca Chica, Texas to a top secret destination "somewhere" in Palm Beach, Florida, via the Intracoastal Waterway. With 4,500
horsepower at my disposal, I could suck all the water out of the canal and confound any pursuit.

"L.D."---Yeah, right. You'd never make it past the "Gum Cove Ferry." Nancy Patricia has a fort on the approaches and "she" don't play.

kronk---I ain't worried about her. We have a history.

"L.D."---You call being kicked out of SF a history?

kronk---Ugh!....Hekler I've been having to deal with hairballs for going on 66,000,230 years. "L.D." is a notorious feline assassin.

"L.D."---It's in my genes.

kronk---Ugh! it's all over the carpet, too.
  
Date: 7/7/2023 8:24:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

...Hey there again Kronk and L.D!
I just heard on the grapevine that something has become available which may
very well be of interest to you. More on this as details surface.

L.D...I've heard rumors that Kronk runs a tight ship. The inference was that
he was drunk all of the time because it facilitated the regurgitation of
hairballs but who am I to judge hime when I have my own spurious past.

I do have a question for you though. Why would someone in Texas EVER want to
do a bail-out and make a clandestine run to Florida?
Is the situation not pretty much the same in both states?

  
Date: 7/7/2023 2:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hekler "L.D." here: I would definitely be interested in anything having to do with the transporting of moose. Flash frozen, or possibly even "on the hoof." (Max live weight of 237 kg)

kronk---What's up, dog?

"L.D."---Hekler may have a job for us.

kronk---That's good, but we can't start anything until I finish shanghaiing, er uh, I mean "transporting" democrats to Florida, for re-calibration.

"L.D."---I believe you guys are fighting a losing battle. What makes you think they will allow themselves to be re-calibrated?

kronk---I cannot comment on any of that; MTG is in charge of that process. Don't quote me on this, but I suspect she will "make them an offer they can't refuse."

"L.D."----Ahhhhhhhh

  
Date: 7/7/2023 8:35:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5301    

...MTG sweet talk: "MOVE OR I WILL SNAP YOU LIKE A TWIG"

You gotta admire a gal with moxie.

  
Date: 7/23/2023 5:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 55251    I'm so glad part 109 is finally released!
