I work at an ice rink and we needed to shave down the edges of the ice as they build up and cause hockey to be affected. While my Boss was running a lawnmower type devise called the edger, I drove the zamboni picking up the shavings.

Now at this time, it is 3:30 am and I had worked 30 out of the past 48 hours, so easy to say, I was tired. Very tired.

So I keep driving in circles picking up the snow for around an hour. I see Boss pushing the edger and He has a trail of snow about 30 feet behind him. I thought, "Pick up the snow and pull around him before I get too close." I did not pull around in time.

I look up an he is still moving forward, so i drive for about 3 seconds and start turning to avoid him when we have this delightful conversation:

Boss: Mickey's, Mickey's stop the zam, STOP THE ZAM!!
Mickey's: Shit shit! OMG Boss I'm so sorry
B: *look of shock and confusion* You hit me with the Zamboni, Why did you do that?!
M: You okay?
B: You hit me with the Zamboni, do you think I'm okay?
M: I'm so sorry dude!

5 minutes later

B: *laughing* I can't believe you hit me with the zam
M: God I'm such an idiot.
B: I'm going to tell everyone! THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST STORY EVER!!

One of my favorites is a story of him and his buddy going south of the border and holing up in some shit town, getting butt-wasted for about 3 days straight, then getting Montezuma's revenge, but not having a working toilet in their hotel room, and taking turns squatting above the sink, spraying it with Bud-mud.

Dude, Mickey gets to drive the zamboni, what a luck bastard.

Always wanted to drive the zamboni. Such a cool job. Pun fully intended. One version of heaven for me is an endless supply of beer and a hockey game that never ends.

Hockey = boxing on ice.

And I saw Bigger, stronger, faster this week. Very good. It is really cool how he parallels the ideas. On one hand he uses statistics and stories disproving the common conceptions behind steroids, making it seem like steroids are fine and giving it a positive twist. While he uses his personal family and their lives as how steroids can become addictive and cause pain even if taken in the correct doses, which gave steroids somewhat of a negative tone. All in all, I loved it. The scene when they go to Westside barbell is probably my favorite scene. Those men are monstrous.

Sounds like my kind of writing. I will check them out. Thanks amigo.

I'm just happy I didn't hurt him. The zamboni is just a big truck. If someone asks me if driving the zamboni is hard I ask, "Can you make a right hand turn while talking on your phone?"

If the answer is yes, you are more than qualified to drive the zamboni.

Do you need a license to drive a Zamboni?

The question should be, "Can you make a right hand turn while drunk out of your mind and wearing this hat?"
