Sometimes a little moisture and friction do the trick.

When the Zamboni (driver) leaves a stripe ... argh!

One man's chance to grab a beer and nachos is another man's time to get busy doing his job.

Sometimes, no matter how much effort you put in, chunky is the best you're gonna get.

I'm slow, Chris.

Just because they take away the net doesn't mean you're going to get hurt any worse if you fall off.

Getting the hang of it,

I went to high school and sometimes hung out with Joan Zamboni, the daughter of the guy who invented that wonderful machine.

The thing was originally built in Paramount, CA in the SoCal snow belt.

A t-shirt fired out of a big tube under high air pressure is a t-shirt all the same.

A friend of mine took over his father's business a few years ago: Zamboni sales and service. He has lots of good Zamboni swag but best of all, he gets to ride them occasionally.

Sure thing: they got a NHL team in Phoenix, AZ.
I bet the few poeple who attend the matches only go there for the cool air.

If you need to shave, make sure the blade is sharp.

The best time to take out the garbage is during a break in the action.
