Now often times around here you'll here Pension Plan Puppets referred to by its full legal name PPP Amalgamated Heavy Industries and Kitten Ranch LLC. Now it's obvious what our Heavy Industries branch is, but the Kitten Ranch part of the business has been clouded in secrecy for quite some time and for a very good reason. You see, at the PPP Kitten Ranch we don't breed your everyday run of the mill tabby cats. Oh no sirree Bob. We harness the unending power of the Internet to crossbreed our kittens with IBM supercomputers to create a special brand of cyborg kittens like the one shown below:

Now I know you're asking yourself, why in the hell would PPP want to create such an abomination? The answer is simple really:

Step 1) Create cyborg cats

Step 2) ?

Step 3) Profit

We've been debating on the correct step 2 to take, and have encountered a minor setback with our cyborg kittens due to the "Kill Sarah Connor" glitch that keeps popping up from time to time. I'd tell you more, but we are currently on the receiving end of several wrongful death civil suits because of the cats and our lawyers inform me that I've said to much already. Toodles!

Lovely little tidbit in there about Toskala sucking so damn much.

A Kaberle trade would start a domino effect for the Leafs

But does that mean the signing of a vet or calling up one of the kids?

Hopefully they don't start an uprising a la WWE's NXTs.

Take a look at this photo of Antti Niemi from the Puck Daddy article on him

Now tell me he doesn't look like a fatter grown up version of Fulton Reed from The Might Ducks.  (2) (3)
