That is freakin' hilarious!!! I'd rather pictured Ivan Tribble looking like Ivan the Terrible, complete with a penchant for boiling bloggers in oil... Now I'm picturing a kind of Tribble-Scalia hybrid, only bald...
I pictured him as tall, pale (but a bit red-nosed) and with one of those really loud "Hello!" voices and hearty handshakes; the kind of person everyone likes on first meeting and only realizes later is death in committee meetings....
Oh wait, that's someone else...never mind.
