    If we are talking about the quarter-stick, I know what you are talking about. We knew them as "blockbusters". We used to destroy so many things with those when I was a kid. It's amazing that I still have all of my digits and limbs.

    I think you can buy a broomstick with the broom for cheap at the dollar store.
