#1 There are three things in life that people like to stare at: a flowing stream, a crackling fire, and a Zamboni clearing the ice.

#2 Somebody's been listening to his Gear Daddies CDs too much.

Now ever since I was young it's been my dream
That I might drive a Zamboni machine
I'd get the ice just as slick as could be
And all the kids would look up to me.

#4 I remember the opening night debut of the late Kansas City Scouts - an expansion NHL entry of the mid 1970's. The crowd was so hungry for action on the ice that when the Zamboni machine appeared it drew a standing ovation!

#5 #4 I recall the Scouts. Became the Colorado Rockies and now are the New Jersey Devils. I liked those ol' KC uniforms.

BTW, Zamboni, inventor of the vehicle, was awarded an honorary degree some years ago by engineering school/Div 1 hockey power Clarkson University.

#6 Sorry, I'd class this under "Worth Being Fired Over"...

#8 I don't think they understood the seriousness of it.

Neither do I. Unless street sweepers are inherently dangerous.
