Ariel the aubergine is polishing the ice at UBS arena in New York City. It's the pre-game polish, which is the best one because the stadium is quiet and they can hear the music in their headphones better than at halftime. They're very nice headphones; when you can live in a studio apartment and don't need water or groceries it's a lot easier to make ends meet and then some in the big apple. Ariel twirls elegantly along the ice to the sound of the Les Miserables original Broadway cast, one hand on the wheel and the other pressing the gas pedal with a long stick.
