I want you to know, when it comes to believing in God - I really tried. I really really tried. I tried to believe that there is a god who created each one of us in his own image and likeness, loves us very much and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize...something is Messed UP. Something is WRONG here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is NOT good work. If this is the best god can do, I am NOT impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kind of stuff you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently run universe, this guy would have been out on his all-powerful-ass a long time ago. George Carlin

The real tragedy with this quote is that it is so damn true!

Wasn't always true though...
The Ice Capades began life as halftime show. In 1940, John H. Harris, a Pittsburgh rink owner, noticed that his hockey crowds swelled when he booked a figure skater to perform between periods. Harris envisioned an ice carnival that would entertain crowds in rinks across America. He hired professional skaters, comedians, clowns, jugglers, barrel jumpers, and swarms of scantily-clad chorus girls. With a Ziegfeldian stroke, he dubbed these girls … the Ice Ca-pets! A 1942 souvenir program lists the pets’ vital statistics with Playboy-like precision: “Their average age is 20 years; average height 5 ft. 3 ½ inches; average weight, 116 pounds. There are 21 blondes, 24 brunettes; 2 with black tresses and one auburn-haired in the group.”
In Hannah and Her Sisters, Woody Allen is kvetching about Nietzsche’s theory of eternal recurrence, which says we’re doomed to repeat the same life over and over. “Great,” Allen moans, “that means I’ll have to sit through the Ice Capades again.”
