From the Branches: Here comes the hotstopper

So I read through Saturday's FTB comments in order to research the interests of the PPP community, and turn these into things we'd like to see on a links list. Based on yesterday's qualitative research, here are the topics we should be covering in an FTB:

• Hobbit names
• Asian hockey leagues
• Lentil soup recipes
• Hockey player height as judged by Mike Babcock in relation to their placement on the Toronto Maple Leafs (with six-foot-five being an acceptable height)
• Male models who also play hockey/

I also noticed a few unanswered questions in yesterday's FTB:

• Does there exist an accurate cost/benefit of labour provided by illegal immigrants in the US?
• Is anyone interested in writing about LesCanadiennes for @HabsEOTP? Shoot an email to marcpdumontgmail. com. (Priority given to women.)
• Does anyone have a good lentil soup recipe for Gunnar?
• Has Debrincat dropped to early second round? /

And here, finally, are your links:
