\"\"<\/a>Christmas is literally right around the corner. (I named the spider in the hallway \u201cChristmas.\u201d) Yesterday\u2019s Lego Item wasn\u2019t spectacular but it\u2019s a necessary part of the Christmas Train that seems to be popping out of the calendar. So I\u2019m glad it\u2019s there, even if I secretly wished for a Lego Sea Serpent. <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s item isn\u2019t the train engine. The Lego Company knew I would be expecting an engine. A train needs an engine, right? Wrong. So very, very wrong.<\/p>\n

Read on to find out what is providing the locomotion for this locomotive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lego Helicopter!<\/p>\n

This is obviously another toy for the Goat children to play with. Like the other gifts, this one is comically out of proportion with the children. Look at the size of this thing?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cat Girl could almost ride inside it. Almost. <\/p>\n

A real toy helicopter wouldn\u2019t be that large. It would be this size:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not upset that the helicopter is big. I love it! Can you imagine getting a toy helicopter that is twice your size? I can\u2019t. I just tried and it gave me a headache. It\u2019s like trying to picture infinity in your mind or what Keanu Reeves will look like as an old man. It cannot be done. <\/p>\n

After playing with the helicopter for 3 hours, I noticed the ball at the end of the tail looks similar to the ball-joint of the train cars. 2 hours after that, I realized I could connect the helicopter to the train cars and make a HOVER TRAIN! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

HOVER TRAIN!<\/p>\n

Look what I did! <\/p>\n

Hover Train!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the best mode of transportation this side of jetpacks and sword skis. <\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to see this bad boy in action!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hmm\u2026Doesn\u2019t quite seem as awesome as I had thought. <\/p>\n

Still\u2026Hover Train is better than Ground Train, though not quite as fantastic as Moon Train, Gravy Train, or the Molar Express (A train made entirely out of teeth). <\/p>\n

Day 22 Rating: <\/strong>3.1 out of 4 (Points deducted because people stare at me when I scream, \u201cHover train!\u201d and then make helicopter-train noises such as, \u201cChoo-choo-Flflflflfflflfllfl.\u201d) <\/p>\n

Tomorrow is the penultimate day of the calendar, and as such I will use the word \u201cpenultimate\u201d quite a bit because that word is cool and I rarely get the chance to penultimate use it. Merry Penultimate Calendar Day Eve! <\/p>\n
