Ok, so a million years ago me and a friend of mine were in Vegas and checked out Quark's Bar at the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton. And it was great! I drank a dry-ice-powered "warp core" drink. A guy in a Klingon costume messed with me in a cringey but completely perfect "interactive theater" bit. The video screens all had Star Trek visuals playing. Super fun.

Anyway, a couple of years later we thought "Hey, let's go back to Vegas and we'll visit Quarks Bar again!" But we were big enough nerds that we didn't realize when we booked it that it was superbowl weekend. So, all the pro sports gambler types were in town. The "free drinks as long as you are gambling" policy in the casino seemed to be suspended - all the servers ignored us. We had high hopes of escaping to the nerd refuge of Quark's, but when we got there they had football on all of the screens, and a table of "Da Bears" style football dudes started fucking with us for, I don't know, not being manly enough or something. It sucked, but it's kind of funny in retrospect.

Sorry about the jocky douches, but at least it eventually became a fun memory.

Space Bucees! Much like regular Bucees but floating around in space!

That jerky looks incredibly unappetizing

They are unsustainably farmed. They breed faster than they can be slaughtered.

The tribbles were declared mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire for a reason

And what sweeter revenge could they take than to make them the premier snack of the Alpha Quadrant‽ It's just great fortune that Quark happened to find (purposely seeded) an L-class planet swarming with tribbles.

Oh yum, now we're talking. You know, they are pretty much all meat under there.
