I refuse to lose our Republic to a guy with swollen ankles and a tribble on his head.

@georgetakei
I have to geek out here.
I've seen references in the comments to Mudd.

Tribbles bad guy was Cyrano Jones - No Harry Mudd in The Trouble with Tribbles.

Sorry that always gets my goat!!!!!

@zedaardv Jones wasn't a 'bad guy', either. He was actually a very affable merchant, who just had some, er, highly flexible ethics. He didn't seem to actually understand tribbles well; in fact, no one at the start of the story seems to.

@wesdym I know bad guy was a poor choice of words. I couldn’t think of anything better at the time.
