I used to eat regularly at a Greek restaurant that had these.  One time I was in the restroom and I saw the owner (who also was the chef) come out of the stall, wipe his hands on the roller towel, and head back to the kitchen. 

I went back to my table and finished my cheeseburger.

It would be like a rainy F1 race, who's the first one to trade the skates in for speedos? Is it too early? Can this one player hold out on the skates longer and get some points while the others are changing?

This jokes only funny from a King James Bible. 

Muscle cars in Mark: 6

Nothing wrong with that.  Some Honda love in Acts....

I'm trying to figure out how this works. If it is on concrete - like basically all chilled rinks are - the ice is only 1-2 inches thick, so it would basically just be handball in a puddle. Outdoor rinks, if they're on grass or dirt, will be about 3-4 on the shallow end and up to ~18 inches on the deep end, and they'll just leak out no matter how good your liner is. An indoor pool would never work, you could never get it cold enough. 

So that means that we're limited to ponds/lakes/rivers... But you'll be limited to basically the first freeze of the year before the ice is thick enough to hold up for very long. I'd think you're gonna want to wear the wetsuit onto the ice, cause it is going to be cold plunging into 33* water (1* for all ya'll who don't use Freedom units)

you freeze the surface and build upward, dont try and freeze an indoor pool.  It should be easily done with modern technology.

Melting it during a Hockey But Eventually Water Polo game would be difficult, especially if you want the melt to be uniform, depending on the length of the game.

Uniform melting takes all of the fun...I mean strategy out of it. Maybe we just make it a fall/spring game. Once you can't wear skates at the beginning of the game or swim at the end of it, the season is over. We could also use the snowmobiles as a guide.

Headed for the bathroom of a very quiet Mexican restaurant in Hot Springs tonight, and as I went in the small bathroom our waiter was coming out and he said no problem I'm done and headed straight from the urinal back to the kitchen. I also went back and finished my excellent enchiladas, but wishing I had headed for the bathroom another 30 seconds later.
