I'm in Your 'Trek', Reading Your Memes

OH HAI I HAS TRIBBLE

Following yesterday's Star Trek-inspired insanity during City Manager Toby Futrell's presentation of the city's financial forecast, it only seems appropriate to steer y'all to LOL Trek, a riff on the admittedly retarded LOL Cats meme, set to the show's infamous episode, "The Trouble With Tribbles." Hey, if our butch sister blog, The Gay Place is doing it, why can't we?

But if you really want a laugh, the financial forecast is here for your perusal. Did we say laugh? We meant shivering, fetal-position-inducing cry. Our bad.
