Today's Tribblets, April 22

PROMENADE

There hasn't been a wrap-up since Thursday but, as you'll notice, the last five days haven't brought many tribble-sized STAR TREK bites. It's heating up down here in Florida so summer's on the way, and with just five weeks and six new episodes of ENTERPRISE, things are starting to wind down ever so slowly. But I'm sure the Borg will manage to stir things up for better or worse on May 7th...

Name That Van Halen Song of the Day: Last Thursday's answer was "Mine All Mine" off the second Sammy Hagar album, OU812 (1988). The complete lyric was: "We see a man speaking the word of God / Provin' to be a fraud / His own church applauds / Stop lookin' out, start lookin' in / Be your own best friend, stand up and say: Hey! This is mine!" Thursday's winner was (drumroll please) viking5150. Aptly named, indeed!

Today's lyric is:

"You know this ain't no through street / The end is dead ahead...

Complete the lyric and name the song!
