For more clues, check out the What is it? Blog. Good luck!
Update 8/7/09 - The answer is: A heat sink from an old television. A lot of you guessed heat sink, but no one got it specifically for an old TV, so I picked the guess that got me ROFL-ing. Congrats to endgame47 for this guess: It is a bow tie for bad-asses.

the water would flow over this and all the fluffy stuff and tissue paper would gather on it.
I have seen it but cant remember what it was on.
To all that said it was a heat sink, you're wrong! This thing can't hold water. It's a yarn loom for ambidextrous people.
Metal spikes on one side get shoved into foot, ensuring that it would not fall off, while the metal spikes on the other side were used to grip that slippery ice!
Later dismissed for being too darn painful to put on, and providing not enough grip on the foot if used more than once.
