Boise media has NO sense of humor. I got a call from friends on Portland, OR raving about the exploits of the Zamboni Two. I think the Guardian ought to set up an online way to make donations to help these guys defray the fines our mighty proud city will probably slap them with. The whole country will kick in. This story may be bigger than the Broncos in a Bowl. When I find out who they are, there will be a couple of beers waiting for them at a bar with a sense of humor.

Some bar ought to have a Zamboni Two celebration.
Help keep Boise funny.

Guardian, you make my point. If we can mate the officer with tracers, the firemen cutting up the wrong car, the Tiger shooting and all those other little “gems” with the “Great Zamboni drag race” the sky will be the limit to run off the”growthaholics” that seem to have set up base camp here. Bald?

I think everyone is overlooking the obvious. These two were canned because they let the cat out of the bag and co-opted a soon to be announced change in city policy. Since the Zambonies are propaned-fired they qualify as (wait for it) Alternative Fueled Vehicles.

Soon every city employee will be issued an AFV, as Boise’s newest effort to improve its image.

Plee-ee-ea-ase, someone let me know if a Zambonie Parking Zone sign pops up in front of City Hall.

Temporary employees HA. The only reason that they are temp employees is because the new GM that presides over the kingdom of ICE WORLD immmediately changed everyone’s employment too seasonal when he took over. He believed he could run it like the old ball field that he managed. I know these 2 people personally. For one, it was his last night. The other had put in his two weeks notice. Neither was actually interviewed. Ice World lied about that part. As well as the cost of the Zambonis. Only one is $73,000 with an $8,000 blade. The much older of the two is worth far less. These two live for fun but never intended for any harm to be done. No one got hurt, no damage was done, and nothing was stolen. It’s just a great story to tell your friends.

AS WELL AS PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD including every major news outlet in the USA and Europe. http://news.google.com/nwshp?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&tab=wn&ncl=1111430217&filter=0&sa=N&start=0 –EDITOR

Hold up there, Tam…

What if more scato-facto floats to the surface and not all was as it seemed back then?

Has the fat lady sung?

The saddest part of it all is that the ONLY reason the two employees were immediately fired is because they were temporary help. If they had been regular old employees, they’d be on paid leave and we’d be reliving the poop farm fiasco all over again. I knew the expedient personnel action sounded too good to be true.

Maybe we could kill two birds with one Zamboni here. What if we convinced the Chamber to do a massive out of state publicity campaign that “showcases” all of the above mentioned incidents. The rest of the country would think (with good reason) that we are all a bunch of idiots here in lovely Idaho. Naturally, no one in their right mind would want to move here and “Presto – ChangeO” no more growth problems!

CYCLOPS, my dear– Your editor is fat and bald, but not dumb. Google ZAMBONI on the news part of the site and you will see Boise’s fame around the entire world–thanks to the GUARDIAN influence.

They need 2 machines because they have 2 sheets of ice. Definately not a smart idea having these machines going on public streets… Top speed is ony about 8 miles an hour, unless they were the Olympia Model… Now we’re talking speed!!!
