you had tribble twice so I got an extra point! YAY!

[ext_215875]

I assumed there was ANOTHER Tribble out there somewhere and you'd have to be super geeky to know the non-Star Trek reference.

[racing_girl]

I'll just pretend I knew both then! ha!

[thebitterguy]

Sigh. Nope. I just wrote tribble twice.

[dewline]

Text field seems to have managed my reply well enough!

[tfbretz]

Fuck, I am such a nerd. Also, I didn't try the blank and just answered in the comments.

SHIELD: EITHER Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division OR Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Division.

OHOTMU: Official Handbook Of The Marvel Universe.

TARDIS: Time And Relative Dimensions In Space

Oh good. It'd been a while since I'd see the original SHIELD version so wasn't sure if I got it right. Never seen Dr. Who, so I know of the TARDIS, but was going to start guessing from "A" on.

He's bleeding demised and Mother Box were not part of my standard education.

[thebitterguy]

A) Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Parrot Sketch

B) Jack Kirby's Fourth World comics, particularly the New Gods. Also, my nickname for my iPhone.

[autobotsrollout]

You're forgetting "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division," which is what it stands for in the movies.

[mark_argent]

I don't know what "The Pit" is, unless you mean "The Pitt" from Marvel's New Universe.

[athelind]

That was my assumption, since he also misspelled "Wookiee".

[barkman]

'The Pit' was the nickname of the GI JOE headquarters, located under the Chaplain's Assistant School's motor pool, at Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island, New York.

At least, in the comics.

[thebitterguy]

Two points to team Barkman!

[kores_rabbit]

Bunch of nerds!
Oh wait...
