This Is What You Get for Taking Zomboni Off Ice

Once I watched a wealthier girl at my high school back a brand-new Ford Mustang into another car. Car hit car in slow-motion with a delicious sound of expensive paneling and buckling costly metal. Her face registered ignorant bliss, then sudden wariness, and finally gapemouthed horror when, turning around, she realized she had turned her beautiful American racing machine into an accordion-rumped junker in seconds.

This was one of those delectable moments in life to cherish when, all things having gone completely pear-shaped and wrong, you can just sit back and watch something very expensive crash to the ground.

This is another:
Blame ice gremlins, not the driver; the brakes froze as he prepared to back up the behemoth ice machine, and sweet minor disaster took care of the rest. The only thing you can blame the driver for, though, would be not enjoying a moment as awesome as riding a 6,580 pound Zamboni two feet to the ground.

I actually wrote a script where a discharged maintenance worker armors a Zamboni and goes on a rampage. The police are powerless to stop him, until one cop dons skates and blows the perp’s head off following a penalty shot-like rush up to the vehicle.

I was gonna sell it ("Zamboni Rage") to ABC as an Afterschool Special, but I was told that it might prove upsetting to Canadien children.
