Just got finished bottling a batch of vanilla porter that looks like it turned out exceptionally well. I was wondering if I can drain the yeast cake off the bottom of the carboy and save it in the fridge for my next batch? Can I keep it in a grolsh style bottle or will I be creating a glass bomb.

You can use it right away by pouring a new batch on top of it (after a stout it must be a dark beer). If you want to keep it in the fridge for a while, the slurry left after fermentation is mostly dead yeast cells and malt solids. You want to get the living yeast that are mixed in it and dump the rest..
All you need to know about the process :

I guess you could do what they suggest on the wyeast thing. Sounds all so complicated. I just siphon the trub and that seems to work. From my experience you can save it in anything you like.
