July 31

[Zeke]

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).
