Today's Tribblets, April 11

PROMENADE

Well here's the fifth Today's Tribblets column and perhaps surprisingly there are plenty of bit-sized stories even at the end of the week. This brings the amount of smaller STAR TREK news we've brought you this week to over twenty items and they just keep on coming. Remember, the weekend's Tribblets column will likely be consolidated onto Sunday, unless there's an inordinate amount of items tomorrow. Enjoy the weekend!

Name That Van Halen Song of the Day: Yesterday's question was a little easier and the answer was GOOD ENOUGH, off the first album with Sammy Hagar, 5150 (1986). It's has always been one of my personal favs. The complete lyric is: "Hey waitress, err ma'am. Got any special here tonight, me and the fellas might interested in? / What's that? A rack of WHAT? Well I'll have some of thah ah ah at!" (beautiful, ain't it?)

Yesterday's winner was Kurak! Congrats my friend. You're welcome to come watch VH1's I LOVE THE 80'S with me any time. Today's question is a pretty easy one, but I've been playing this song lately and it is Friday after all. Complete the lyric and name the song:

"All the bills are paid..."

Van Halen

Yesterday's song was not a Van Halen song.

I'm a purist. If Roth didn't sing it, it isn't Van Halen. I like Sammy a lot on his solo stuff, but the last Van Halen studio album was 1984. 5150 was another band, most aften called Van Hagar.

Too many?

I don't mean to be critical or anything, but it seems to me as though perhaps we're seeing TOO many of these tribblets. Perhaps a Mon-Wed-Fri-Sun schedule would be better. I'm just afraid that other newsitems would be pushed down too fast. Plus it would mean a little less work for Steve.
