Win a tribble!

Have fun. Win stuff. Do things.

Win a tribble!

Postby OrangeEyebrows » Fri May 03, 2013 10:05 pm

When I was recently at the London Book Fair, an exhibitor gave me a REAL LIVE TRIBBLE. It's one of these little dudes, who is apparently a "cave tribble".

Image

He purrs when he's happy and he squeaks and wriggles when he's upset. I love him more dearly than anything in the world. But for you, TCSers, I'm willing to give him up. I know you'll give him a good and loving home.

So, I'm willing to ship him anywhere in the world. All you have to do in exchange is send me stories or poems or pictures telling me how lovely I am and/or offering to become my devoted slave. Or I guess essays about how much you love TOS are okay as well. Odes to my beauty are also acceptable. Kate85 will judge the competition after a week. Kate really, really loves Tribble, so odes to Kate instead of me are acceptable and will count towards the vote to send him to her.

It looks like that ain't a single tribble; it looks like a double.
I think everyone here knows two tribbles ain't nothing but trouble.

It's always in the last place you look for it, unless you're the kind of person who keeps looking for it after you've found it.

Alright, I'm going to start off by saying, I'm a fair judge. I promise. I have no bias any which way about this issue, and will evaluate everything as if I am not the perfect adoptive mother for a cute little brown tribble. May the best person win!

But you know. My husband and I have a stable living arrangement, a dependable income, and a vet who is 99% sure he can neuter a tribble. Just thought I'd mention that.

Just thought I'd throw in a happy family picture, for no real reason and certainly not to subtly convince Orange that we'd be a great fit for Tribble. Because I'm judging so that would be ridiculous

Orange, I'd love the tribble but I am just not willing to become your poem and essay slave. Sorry.

A Sonnet for Orange


Image

*ahem

A lovely woman smiles, her dress of grey
A counterpoint to walls so pale behind
A bookshelf, where her books of yore are lay
In wait for her to take them into mind
A necklace with a ring of jade hangs low
And hair spills o'er her shoulders like the mead
A blaze of freckles dance across her nose
And eyes like strangers, friends you've yet to meet.

Image

But, lo! What's this? A woman with a frog?
She pursed her lips? How sweet, he'll be a prince
Or will he be transformed to man, or dog
Or will he just go on as he did whence?

How nice to be a frog on someone's knee
And to be kissed, so graciously, by thee.

--M. Notch

Sing, O muse, of Paris son of Priam,
That curly-haired youth beloved of Aphrodite.
And of his brother, glorious Hector,
Who, clad in gleaming bronze, prepared for his duel with Achilles
And strode, brave and terrible, to bid farewell to his brother
But reeled back in puzzlement on finding his chamber bare
And left in his place only a scrawled note:
"Hey listen bro sorry about starting this whole war thing but I've heard there's someone out there even more beautiful than Helen so I'm kinda going to pursue that, k. Can you break the news to Helen and dad? Also you should probably skip town yourself- I heard Achilles is gunning for you and that guy is craaaazay! Gtg. Kisses- Paris."

*


[Ext. Verona. Enter Juliet.]

Juliet- At last my noble lord and I shall deny our parents' wishes and be wed. Mayhaps in the little chapel of San Vegas I espy.

[Enter Friar Lawrence bearing a letter]

Juliet- Good Friar! What news of Romeo?

Fr. Lawrence- Erm...

Juliet- What is that letter you bear as if it weighed all the world? I should read it if I may...Ok, what the hell does he mean "found someone else."

*


A gentle wind stirred the desert sand. The old man opened his eyes, deep-set in his weather-beaten face. He squinted at the figure silhouetted against the setting sun.
"Smouldering Hollywood hunk Ryan Gosling! Shouldn't you be busy filming your new role in the Notebook?
"Yes. But I sensed there was another, even greater romance awaiting me. I understand you are wise. I hoped you could guide me."
The old man smiled. "I know the one you seek."

*


"The old man spoke true! Behold the lady of the Orange Eyebrows."
"Um...hello Ryan Gosling. And your weird cosplay friends."
"I know not of this cosplay, my lady, we have travelled through time itself to find love. Now I've got these golden apples."
"Shut up Paris."
"Hey I know a guy called Paris."
"You too Romeo. You see we have all traveled a great distance with only our dreams and our washboard abs to sustain us. For we had heard tales of one whose beauty and intelligence makes the very sun pale in the heavens."
"Oookay."
"So we were wondering..."
"Yes?"
"Could you introduce us to Kate85?"
"Get off my property."


(Seriously though give it to Notch because that was just beautiful man.)

Notch obviously should win, but I would like to point out that I did used to own the Tribbles Customizable Card Game. Many years ago (I don't know where it is now). Also, I never could actually find someone who would play it with me... Pity, I'm going for pity here.

I said I wasn't going to do this but I have changed my mind. But I'm doing it because I want to-not because anyone is making me!

I descend into the small death of sleep
Where cerulean skies stretch upon the expanse of dreams
What a perfect contrasting background
To the licks of flame I behold
Resting upon the brow
Of one lady, fair of countenance and plentiful of bosom
Who possesses the moniker
Of Orange Eyebrows

Hello again! I bet you'd forgotten about this, hadn't you?

...

Yes. I know. You had. I was sincerely hoping that I could come up with a show-stopper and win the tribble for myself, but alas, I would be outshined by all of you. But Notch wins the furry little hell-breeder.

Consider this contest officially over; I love you all. Especially you, tribble that wasn't to be. *sniffle*

Wow, how did I miss this the first time? Oh well, there was no beating Notch, but congrats to everyone -- this was epic!

Man created logic and because of that was superior to it. Logic He gave unto me, but no more. The tool does not describe the designer. More than this I do not choose to say. More than this you have no need to know.
