Got one as a gift as a kid. Threw it several times, never saw it again.

Better to look dweebish than be partially decapitated by a boomerang thrown by a feral child in the midst of the post-apocalyptic Outback wasteland.

Never again for me. I had a red plastic V shape boomerang when I was a kid. I got pretty good at throwing it. Took it to the minor league ball park one day. Threw it flat and it went straight away like up a ski slope. It came back on the same line. We scattered, but one kid got hit real bad. Never again.

I’m not sure boomerangs had been invented when I was a kid. Big Grin
Rocks and dirt clods were all we had to throw.

I loved boomerangs as a kid, but never seem to last more than one day without getting them stuck in trees. I spent more time throwing rocks and sticks trying to get them down than I did throwing the boomerang itself.

The Aerobie triangle was probably the last one I had.

Nerf used to make one, not sure if they still do.

I say go with lawn darts, much more skill is involved with dodging them.

that's because you didn't keep your receipt. No returns without a receipt.




I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.

Ask the seller if they accept returns.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Sew the boomerang into the lining of their clothes so that if they get lost then they can still return home.
