Well, I was wandering around the Stanford shopping center in Palo Alto yesterday and in one of the local card-type stores I bought a tribble. *The Trouble With Tribbles...remember???* It's pretty funny, and much mellower than my cat, Forage (sister of Angst), who tends to bitch if handled... But they can't, apparently, call these things, which DO look like tribbles, tribbles. So they call them dreebles. No matter. When you pet them, they purr, and if you squeeze them, they squeak (sound familiar?) MUCH better than a Spock coffee mug. I'm waiting for MINE to multiply. (I've been keeping it in a sliding-door cabinet with some jello.) Catherine Mikkelsen decwrl!greipa!tommif!cat P.S. It's pretty groady (what do you expect from someone who actually hangs out at the-- choke -- Stanford shopping center and buys tribbles to boot?) but the company that sells these pseudo-silicon marvels (technological squeaks) is called Prrrl Ventures, Inc. Their address is 1322 Baker St., SF, CA, 94115 bbb

No, not jello (see the discussion on food longevity in net.bizarre); try some sort of grain, wheat germ, or even a sandwhich on Roman Meal. -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.
