Mine came back.
Hit me in the head.......................
LOL, OUCH!
But don’t use a boomerang *that* way or you might get Monkeypox.
Ahhh a vague MASH reference.
What’s funny is the actor in that scene was the same one who played “Ugly John” in the first season of MASH.
Bkmk
What did one boomerang say to the other?
I’ll be back!
Oh cool
I had one of those plastic boomerangs, made by Wham-O I think, but never could get it to return. No matter how I threw it, it’d go out about 50 or 60 yards, then go straight up and fall back out there. Used to play with it on the high school practice field when nobody was there — try that now.
I should get another and try again one of these days.
“...some of us would use a router...”
Your boomerang had Wi-Fi?
“Practiced till I was blue in the face.”
The original lyrics were “Practiced till I was black in the face”, but I suppose that’s too un-PC now. I haven’t even heard that song on the radio in many, many years.
The toy store boomerangs (i.e. Wham-O) was always crap. My brother had a wooden one that I think we special ordered through the mail that worked pretty well. There's definitely a technique to throwing it and you also need a breeze to throw into or it will just go up in the air and fall down far away.
Hopefully most of the damage was on the passenger side.
Damage on passenger side = stern talking to, maybe some stay in your room etc., for a week.
Damage on driver's side = RED-A$$ from beating.
Inquiring minds want to know?
I’ll have to try it again. Plenty of desert to practice in.
Passenger window. Strong words were spoken. Apologies were made. 2 weeks of cutting, splitting, stacking firewood in all my spare time.
Thanks Red Badger.

The History of Boomerangs 101

[snip] Contrary to popular belief, the boomerang did not originate in Australia. Historical traces of boomerangs have been found throughout the world. Boomerangs are considered by many to be the earliest “heavier-than-air” flying machines invented by human beings. Australian Aboriginal boomerangs have been found as old as ten thousand years old, but older hunting boomerangs have been discovered throughout Europe. The famed King Tutankhamen of Egypt had an extensive collection of boomerangs over 2000 years ago. [/snip]
