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
