Buy a Zamboni. Wait for a severe winter storm. While the city plows are trying to melt the ice, go out there and start thickening and polishing the ice all the way down the highway. (lemmy.world)

Bonus points if you can get a bunch of friends together and assemble a whole fleet of them.

Plows are melting the ice?

Plows often have salt sprayers on the back of them.

Soooo this is called a Zamboni? What a strange name.

Are those the same guys who Invented Cat?

The company was named after the inventor, Frank Zamboni.

Ohhh if so I apologize ! I thought that was some strange naming invented by some marketing dude.

The technical term is "Ice Resurfacer." However, they are usually referred to colloquially as Zambonis.

I have a particular soft spot for Zambonis, but I think that's mainly just because it's a very fun word to say.

ZAMBONI!

Yeaaah I think I get what you mean... It begins to stick into my head.

Isn't there some old school songs about Zambonis? Like the for the Bagger 288?
