the Trouble with Tribbles, by Edward Gorey

The Gorey Trouble with Tribbles

So, I guess this makes it official: tribbles are a meme. First there was the immortal Star Trek episode (and I’m sorry, but there was only one Star Trek) The Trouble With Tribbles. Then there was the immortal Internet sensation LolTrek. Now, renowned Gothic humourist and illustrator Edward Gorey brings us The Gorey Trouble with Tribbles, as channeled by Shaenon.

Well, they’re a helluva lot more intellectual than lolcats, it must be said.

    Plagiarism! He stole that caption from an old photo of me and that chick I met at Sharkey’s in Abbotsford that one Friday night!

    That’s what you get for cruising Abbotsford. Whahappen? Cloverdale throw you out?

    Nah, it’s just I’d prefer the quarry to have a sporting chance. Cloverdale girls would hang onto my ankles begging me to take them away from the bolo-tie wearing, mini-van-driving “cowboys” who swarm the place.
