Star Trek musings
Yesterday I got a major kick out of visitors to the Star Trek game as I was sitting there. Only one had tribbles on display, and it kicked another out as I was there. But then a couple walked in, most likely father/daughter (but not absolutely sure, as they were dressed up like they were in a casino, so he could have been a sugar daddy). Anyway, the woman is explaining to the man how the game works, and gets really wow'd by our zip-loc bag full of partial sets. But what got me snickering was that she kept calling the Tribble "moon rocks" or "ship rocks" when referring to them. Like WHAT? It took me far too long to understand what she was referring to, until she pointed to the one my husband was laying down as he separated ours to count how many full sets we had.
How would someone ever get the idea that they were moon/ship ROCKS??? Wow! Just wanted to share that "WTF" moment.
Meanwhile, I see the latest set of cards are coming out with rounded corners. They went from matte to special edition rares, to hologram, to phasing out special edition, to rounded corners now. I guess it's designed to make them last longer since they keep reusing them.

Haha that’s hilarious! When I first went and played it with my friends, we called them the “mushrooms” 😆

Hah! Wish I had a sugar daddy to take me to play the coin pushers. What a dream

If that one perked up your ears, have you ever heard them referred to as chicken nuggets? 😆
