Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Tube" as in "subway", of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why is there a team called the Canucks and one called the Canadiens? Why do I suddenly care?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Canadians have no imagination, is why.

I mean, apparently.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Plus the Maple Leafs, the symbol of Canada.

They should name a team after Poutine. The Winnipeg Poutine.

That's nothing. The CFL had two teams with the actual same name.

I rest my case!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Weirdly, Rochester's hockey team is The Americans. But they are called the Amerks

So New Yorkers apparently also have no imagination. See also, Yankees and Metropolitans.

Ha! Rochester has no imagination.

We should have The San Francisco Burrito Eaters.

We were going to be The San Francisco Hipster Douchebags but The Brooklyn Dbags beat us to it. Fucking' hipsters.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

See also, Yankees and Metropolitans.

And Knickerbockers!
