Ive got a late entry....but It pales in comparison to a boat paddle....but back in the day there was a thing called Hot Wheel tracks....my mother would take 3 sections of Hot wheel track and put them together and use them for whipping my sisters and myself. Every Christmas she would ask me what I wanted Santa to bring me and without fail my answer was always anything but a dam hot wheel track....of course Santa, being the jokester that he he is (what the hell is up with breaking in houses???) would never fail to bring a brand new one every year....which was very disconcerting to both my sisters and myself....
