ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Who wants to buy a Zamboni? The city of Brooklyn Park is about to find out.

A 20-year-old ice resurfacer is among the more eye-catching items on the block this Saturday at a government-sponsored auction in Arden Hills, where state and local officials will try to unload surplus or confiscated equipment.

There are dozens of cars and trucks -- including a 2003 Hummer H2 with barely any miles that was seized by the Minnesota Gang Strike Force. Stereos, computers and heavy-duty tools round out a list of more than 200 items up for sale.

Brooklyn Park is letting go of the green-and-blue Zamboni because the suburb has two others to use at its hockey rinks.

1. Yes! An official DU Zamboni!

We'll try to get it into the Olympics and say "Ha! You don't see so-called patriotic republicans offering a group-owned Zamboni to help our patrioitic boys in the hockey team!"

[GOPisEvil]

2. Oh, HELL YEAH!!!!

I'd LOVE to drive that around town with banners for all the Democratic candidates draped across it! It would get some damned attention! :D

I think we should get the Hummer too. Put banners about how King George allows tax breaks for businesses that purchase them. Let's use their penis-envy machine against them. :P

3. we could drive it to Mexico!

:D

:bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

4. What's the top speed of that bad boy?

At regular speed, Mexico is 3-4 hours...hmmmm...:think:

5. The DU Mexico Zamboni Tour

Leaving a strip of ice behind us everywhere we go! We'll have skating cheerleaders, and people will throw money at us.

[matcom]

6. cheerleaders like THIS?

[Zomby Woof]

8. ah, an enduring classic!

:thumbsup:

[ZenLefty]

10. Would people still throw money at that?

I'd imagine some other object being catapulted by the crowd. More of the 'vegetable' variety than precious metals.

[Zomby Woof]

11. I could put a zucchini to good use!

A ZombyZamboniZucchini. :o

[GOPisEvil]

9. Well...it's Mexico...there won't be THAT much money...

Unless we're selective about the areas we tour...

[ZenLefty]

12. Okay, we hit the resorts with rich Americans

Tell them to throw money and clothes. Mardi Gras, Mexico style. :D

[GOPisEvil]

13. Eeeeeeeexxxxxxcccccellent!

17. Sure. Hang them from your body piercings.

Then make them twirl in a circle as you dance. :+

[Zomby Woof]

7. whew!

I thought you said ZOMBY was up for auction! :o

A ZombyZamboni would be a cool way to go pick up that extra gallon of milk! :D

14. Whenever my husband gets an alumni-association survey

I write in ZAMBONI DRIVER for occupation and send it back.

[7th_Sephiroth]

16. get me the H-2

if it goes for something like $10,000 we can sell it for $50,000 and split the money

[OldSoldier]

19. And all the alumni association members think...

"How'd he get such a great job?"

Seriously, guys: Who here didn't want to grow up to be the Zamboni driver?

[OldSoldier]

18. There's been a spate of Repugs dying while ice fishing

They keep getting run over by the Zamboni.

[LynneSin]

20. I could come up with $50 for the DU Zamboni

I've always wanted to drive one.

[HEyHEY]

21. not without a pic

I wanna make sure it's a good zamboni

[MissMillie]

22. sounds like fun!

I've always wanted to drive the zamboni.

23. Back in the old days

We used to rent a rink out late at night for hockey (my brother was the manager of the rink). We were responsible for resurfacing afterwards, so one of us would Zamboni the surface when the game was over. Well, one night the infamous defenseman "Iron Man" headed straight out of the rink on the Zamboni, laughing his horrific Herman Munster laugh (HA, HA, HA) as he headed for Sherman Avenue!!!

Thankfully we caught him and redirected the Zamboni before it started resufacing asphalt!

Damn, I'd STILL be paying for a new one if that ever happened.
