Would you like fired with that?
Two employees of the city's ice skating rink have been fired for making a midnight fast-food run in a pair of Zambonis.
An anonymous tipster reported seeing the two big ice-resurfacing machines chug through a Burger King drive-through and return to the rink around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 10. The squat, rubber-tired vehicles, which have a top speed of about 5 mph, drove 1.5 miles in all.
The Zamboni operators, both temporary city employees whose names and ages were not released by Parks and Recreation Department, had to negotiate at least one intersection with a traffic light on their late-night creep from Idaho Ice World.

I thought I'd post this and see what general Freeper reaction was.
Comments or opinions - anyone?
Somebody doesn't have a sense of humor.
Always a busybody around that has to "report" stuff.:')
Who's the buzzkill that called the cops?
Zamboni.
I bet if the vehicle was called a "mobile ice resurfacing unit", you wouldn't care what the Freepers thought about it.
Zamboni.
Nice,LOL!
No kidding. Burger King ought to make comercials with these two. "Get here your way".
Come on... admit it... if you had access to a Zamboni, you'd do the same thing!
Yeah. I thought at first they were joy riding in some rich kids parent's cars. That would not have been cool. The mobile ice whatever machines belong to the city though. People buy them with tax money and I'm sure they paid taxes on those whoppers.
LOL!
At 12:30AM in Boise...?
In a heartbeat!
As Borat would say...
Niiicee
They may have been inspired by the movie about a small town in Alaska, dominated by pond hockey, hosting the New York Rangers. I just saw it on cable, but forgot the name of the town and the movie. Senior moments come each day.
Zamboni sono buoni.
I raise my glass to them!
These guys should be hired by Burger King. "What I went through to get a burger at Burger King"
Mystery Alaska.
Yes. In a flash of brilliance, I remembered to google.
