July 31
Hey, remember that "5MV X Years Ago" idea? Today, X = 2. Back on July 25, 2002 (not quite two years ago, but close enough), we had one of our most popular events: Tribble Day. An IJD GAF solo event, it featured new fivers by him for "The Trouble With Tribbles" (TOS), "More Tribbles, More Troubles" (TAS), and "Trials and Tribble-ations" (DS9). As you probably know, the latter episode was a tribute to the original "Trouble With Tribbles," complete with clips into which the DS9 characters were seamlessly inserted -- so IJD's fiver inserted the DS9 characters into scenes from the "Trouble" fiver. If you haven't read these yet, I highly recommend it; if you have, now's a good time to read them again. IJD's take on how many tribbles constitute a swarm is classic (see also his stats page).

Ah! You remembered!
 *tears of joy*Incredible... I somehow missed the "Trials and Tribble-ations" fiver the first time and NEVER actually read it. I did read it just now, though, and I must say it`s one of THE BEST on the site, very likely IJD`s funniest ever, :mrgreen: The TOS and TAS ones are great, too, but the DS9 one... fantastic! Quote:

Hehehe. Funny stuff. Man, has it really been two years since those came out? Time really flies, huh?

I missed this too! You know Trouble with Tribbles and Trials and Tribbleations are the only DS9 and TOS episodes I have. I got them in a special two pack!

If you're nagging him about a guest fiver, you probably shouldn't -- it's usually my fault when those get delayed.

Still some of my favorites, these. Especially like all the inter-fiver running gags (hats, "You mean you've seen that but not this? Wow, just wow!", etc.) and the "mirror-universe miniskirt" gag (tie-in to Five-min. Mirror, Mirror.)
 Actually quoted the last bit in a TBBS thread re: Trials and Tribble-ations only a few hours before this thread went up.

Two years! Whoa! I remember some of these jokes like I've read them yesterday...
Must be because they're so good.
