CaptHenway · March 1, 2011 1:12AM

Darn. I hoped you were going to post a picture of the bank!!!!

FilthyBroke · March 1, 2011 1:12AM

Exactly where do you bank?

Nice tribbles, btw.

PipestonePete · March 1, 2011 1:17AM

What seems to be the trouble?

CaptHenway · March 1, 2011 1:19AM

Looks like a garbage scow to me........

rxer · March 1, 2011 1:25AM

I did and I'm pretty sure it was in black and white- brings back
memories

CaptHenway · March 1, 2011 1:27AM

It was broadcast in color.
Your TV was in black and white, like ours.

I always wear my tight velour pullover when I go to the bank, too.

johnny9434 · March 1, 2011 3:29AM

SeaEagleCoins · March 1, 2011 3:45AM

Now I finally understand... Aki is an overgrown, bacon-eating tribble

good thing he doesn't reproduce like a tribble, though

I saw it in black and white too

In fact I think it was my turn to hold the antenna that night

CoinRaritiesOnline · March 1, 2011 9:27AM

Hey -- some of those were on memo from us! You don't own them all.

By the way -- I'm having trouble zipping up my jump suit. It must've shrunk in the wash. Yeah -- that's the ticket -- shrunk in the wash.

cladking · March 1, 2011 9:31AM

Did you try to take delivery of your warehoused silver?

ROFLMAO!!!!!

Cameonut · March 1, 2011 9:44AM

Ahhh - "The Trouble with Tribbles". I remember seeing that when it first ran back around 1967 or so. Didn't miss an episode.

Hard to believe that was 40+ years ago..... Now I am feeling old - thanks a lot.

WillieBoyd2 · March 1, 2011 9:58AM

So THAT is why NASA stopped the moon landings.

DNADave · March 1, 2011 9:59AM

FURBIES !

Barry · March 1, 2011 10:20AM

Didn't know you collected grain, Andy.
BTW, that episode was on TV here a few nights ago.

pruebas · March 1, 2011 10:36AM

And to think, my coins were in there with those.......those creatures!

Goldbully · March 1, 2011 10:44AM

morgandollar1878 · March 1, 2011 11:05AM

I think it's time to talk to you bank about getting a dehumidifier, all your stash has become moldy furballs.

lkeigwin · March 1, 2011 1:09PM

+1. Thanks.

Black and white and only picked up the 2 Charlotte TV stations. On a good day we could get the stations from Spartanburg, SC and Ashville, NC. Maybe by the time Star Trek was aired we had 3 stations in Charlotte.

We had a TV like that Eventually the contacts on the rotary channel dial (2-13) got so worn out from six kids spinning it all the time that Dad had to hang a pair of vice grips on the dial to turn it slightly so that the contact touched what it was supposed to.

We got four channels, the three Detroit U.S. network outlets and Channel 9 out of Windsor, Ontario. Got to watch a lot of hockey, and curling, eh? On a good day we could get Channel 11 out of Toledo with a lot of snow, which came in handy when the Lions games were blacked out locally because they couldn't sell out the games.

Every so often the TV would die, and Dad would pull the back off and take the tubes out and we'd go down to the drug store and test them.

To bring this around to a collector's way of thinking, I wonder how many prop Tribbles from the set are now in collector hands, how many survived, and what exactly they were made of, etc. (Synthetic fur? Surely not real fur). I saw a show once where they were selling memorabilia from some of the later Star Trek shows and a model of one of the spaceships went for moon money! (No pun intended).

Isn't it odd that the Moon was never mentioned during the original run of Star Trek? I suspect that the writers were afraid that something they wrote would be proven wrong by the Apollo program.

Found this:

Linky

But no indication of recent prices realized for known authentic original tribbles.

You're safe as long as you're not a security guard wearing a red shirt.

ricko · March 2, 2011 6:03AM

Could that be what happens as milk spots progress???

Cheers, RickO

scottgardener · March 2, 2011 7:34AM

So, you counted a collection total of one million, seven hundred and seventy one thousand, five hundred and sixty one coins in all...

firstmint · March 2, 2011 7:52AM

Shatner says -

"Two tribbles for every reservation made on Priceline.com".

See, this Klingon called the Enterprise a garbage scow, and Scotty punched him, and then...just rent the episode from Netflix, it's easier.

It's no tribble at all.

MikeInFL · March 2, 2011 4:50PM

You can buy a voice activated tribble (and others) here.

Tribbles (Polygeminus Grex) are small, non-intelligent lifeforms originating from Iota Geminorum IV. Known for their prodigious reproductive rate, these round, furry creatures emit cooing sounds when touched, which have a tranquilizing effect on the Human Nervous System.

Born pregnant, with sufficient food a single tribble can quickly increase its number exponentially through presumably asexual reproduction, bearing an average litter of ten every twelve hours. On their homeworld, tribble populations are kept in check by a large number of reptilian predators.

8" plush Tribbles are available in four colors: Light Brown, Light Grey, Dark Brown, and Ginger. Each Tribble features voice & touch-resonsive vibration & sound (batteries included). Collect them both

*NOTE: To activate your Tribble and make it come to life, you must first turn on the vibrating mechanism, located within the Tribble's velcro pouch. This is accomplished by moving the activation switch to the "on" position.

He meant to say it should be hauled away as garbage.

lordmarcovan · March 2, 2011 5:31PM

Messydesk- thank you. That is precisely the trivia I sought.

Casman · March 2, 2011 11:41PM

Hey don't laugh but at my bank that's all they had (fur balls) when I went to get some $. I'd filled out a withdraw slip for 8K and the teller said, Oh we don't have that! I replied What? She said ya, we don't have that kinda money. I replied: Well, what kinda money do you have? She just smiled. I said Well, how bout 4K then? She said: Nope! I was thinking wtf, can I get a Grand...? She tells me to check back on Thursday. I thought well this is goofy and went down the street to another branch...They didn't have any money either...This went on for almost 10 days before I got my money...The one girl offered me a cashiers check and I said Well, what am I gonna do with that? She replied, Well, what do you need the money for? I almost passed out...

Broadstruck · March 2, 2011 11:51PM

Didn't your bank manager have a lil talk with you about what you could and couldn't place in a SDB

I was mentioned that I couldn't place and severed fingers in my SDB and I walked away from that conversation wondering...

Do I look like someone that would place severed fingers in my SDB

sinin1 · March 3, 2011 12:40AM

were they giving these away for new accounts or CDs?
