My Little Furry Balls

"Hey."

"Hey. You just get back?"

"Yup."

"Have fun?"

"Oh, yeah. You wouldn't believe all the people. It was so crowded. Amazing after all these years that show still has fans."

"Fanatics, more like it. What the hell are these things? They look like big furry snow balls."

"Tribbles."

"Tribbles? What the fuck is a Tribble?"

"Oh, come on Brian. I even know what a Tribble is."

"Enlighten me."

"Wait, I've got something better. Watch these two episodes with me."

"You're going to make me watch Star Trek?"

"Yup. The first one is from the original series, ‘The Trouble with Tribbles." The second is from Deep Space 9. Sort of time travel with Tribbles."

"Okay, if I must. Let's get comfortable first."

******************************************************************

"Like them?"

"You know I never liked science fiction but if all the episodes were as funny as these two, I could get hooked on it."

"Yeah? Well, how about we make are own Star Trek episode."

"What do you have in mind?"

"Wait, let me get some more props."

"Props?"

"Tribbles."

"Christ, Justin, how many did you get? Must be thousands of them."

"Hundreds of thousands."

"1,771,561! So, I repeat, what do you have in mind?"

"You know those ball pits they have at MacDonalds for the kids?"

"Yeah, can't keep Gus out of it."

"How about a big boy ball pit, with soft furry, fuzzy, fluffy Tribbles."

"Mmm, I like the way your mind works. Hey, this one purrs."

"Uh huh and vibrates."

"Hmm, vibrating fur balls."

"Oh, yeah. Lets play hide the Tribble."

"Oh no. I'm not sure if I can trust you."

"Brian, have you no faith in me?"

"Oh, I have a lot of faith in you, it's these little furry things I'm not so sure about. They seem to by multiplying."

"Well, they are born pregnant."

"Not in my loft, they aren't."

"Brian, after I'm done with you, believe me, you'll have no Tribbles at all!"
