My Little Tribble

Remember Star Trek with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy? There was an episode called The Trouble With Tribbles (1967) that I thought was quite amusing as a kid.

I don’t remember how old I was when I first saw the Tribbles episode. I do know that when I was in Junior High School and taking a sewing class I made my own little Tribble!

My little Tribble eventually became a cat toy. BobCat plays with it these days and bunny kicks the shit out of it. I really don’t know why I’ve hung onto it all these years!

My little Tribble doesn’t look anything like it used to. It used to have a nose, ears, and a tail, but now it just looks like a furry, round ball with eyes and a mouth! It’s rather funny and I won’t ever get rid of it because I’m attached to it now.

  1. I remember the original Star Trek Tribble episode. In the new movies with Chris Pine, they pay tribute to the Tribble in Star Trek Into Darkness. After Khan is captured, Bones (Dr. McCoy-Karl Urban) experiments with a Tribble when he uses Khan’s blood to see if the dead Tribble will come back to life and when it does, they use the blood to save Kirk. Paying homage to the original Star Trek and the Tribble, lol.

  2. Adorable little tribble. You can tell it’s well loved. I remember watching the old Star Trek. I remember the name of that particular episode, too. But damned if I remember anything more. Do you know where you can catch the original Star Trek these days? I would love to re-watch. Mona

  3. Fox has only ever brought back 2 shows to be a success after canceling them. Star Trek and Family guy. I introduced my wife to Star Trek before we got married. I’ll say the likes the whale one. Fans will know that iceberg.
