David Kordalski announced Monday he was hiring Tribble to be the Plain Dealer’s new Graphics and Design Director.

Tribble, hired Monday by the Plain Dealer.

Naturally, that’s right down our alley!

We can’t deny our inner geekazoid. We feel compelled to offer to David and all the folks in Cleveland a few tips in how to deal with Tribbles…

1. A Tribble, it’s said, is the only love money can buy.

We suggest you start out with tens and twenties.

—

2. Know what you get when you feed a Tribble? If you said “a fat Tribble,” you’re wrong! So don’t feed your Tribble.

2a. That goes double if you’re carrying a load of quadrotriticale.

—

3. Don’t mix Tribbles and Klingons. They don’t get along.

One thing leads to another and, before you know it, your chief engineer is going all Bruce Lee on someone’s ass.

—

4. That goes double if the Klingon looks like the guy behind the counter at the DMV.

—

5. Whatever you do, don’t let a Tribble sit in your chair.

The Tribble headed to The Plain Dealer is Michael Tribble, of course. Of The San Jose Mercury News. And, before that, of The Charlotte Observer.

Live long and prosper in Cleveland, Michael. And best wishes to all our friends at The Plain Dealer.
