Agree with Tvan; unoriginal. I do still refer to my cat as Screamy McScreamface, though.

There's a whitewater rapid on one of West Virginia's rivers that was called something ominous and death-related, and someone exerted enough pressure to force a change to a more tourist-friendly name. The raft guides settled on "Fluffy Box of Kittens" in semi-protest.

This is of course exactly the level of literacy I would expect from raft guides (kidding, kidding!: I was a raft guide). The name, of course, should be "Box of Fluffy Kittens" as one assumes it's the kittens that are fluffy, not their container. If I'm already worried about a scary rapid, I don't want to be picturing some sort of soft, fuzzy box full of hairless, screaming, Siamese kittens.

Maybe they're more literate than you think and that was EXACTLY what they were going for: fluffy box, terrifying kittens. ;)
