Whoever invented the boomerang must have had a seriously lazy dog.
note: Boomerangs are like yoyos: they both don’t come back to me.
double note: Is a “boomering” just a frisbee that comes back to you when you throw it up into the air on a windy day?
triple note: That guy really “boomerung” that emu’s neck!
quadruple note: When I think of a boomerang, I always think of that idiot in “The Road Warrior/ Mad Max 2” movie.
quintuple note: I thought boomerangs were unique to Australia … I was wrong.

That’s not a boomerang!
It’s a hand made aboriginal novelty fake turd.

You weren’t wrong! You were boomer-wrong. I enjoyed the sentence in the wikipedia article about the Indians killing rabbits and birds with boomerangs.
And then I think of me in a forest throwing various objects at woodland creatures.

I’m surprised that the wikipedia said some boomerangs don’t come back. Wouldn’t that just be a stick?
epicurienne // July 22, 2009 at 12:30 pm |
Maybe all those other countries where boomerangs were once in use had the sense to develop (a) more obedient dogs and (b) methods of killing birds mid-flight with something a little more reliable like a gun.
As for those entrepreneurial Aussies, I guess they saw a fantastic marketing opportunity for souvenir shops at airports where boomerangs and Aboriginal novelty fake turds are bestsellers.

boomerang?? I thought that was some special Japanese sausage.

Thanks for all the comments.
razzbuffnik: actually it’s a fridge magnet!
I knew I didn’t have a picture of a boomerang, but I had one of a cassowary behind a fence in a zoo and one of either an emu or an ostrich hanging out on a farm in Chile … but I wasn’t sure which … so delving into the fridge for another beer, I saw the fridge magnet! Beer helps sometimes. hee hee!
Dennis the Vizsla: I didn’t really mean the guy that got all his fingers lopped off trying to catch the boomerang … I meant Mel Gibson! hee hee!
Doraz: it’s about the size of my thumb, but not so cool. hee hee!
Finicky Penguin: hee hee! I hear boomerangs make you smart! hee hee!
Kelly Pettit: you are a stickler for detail. hee hee!
epicurienne: I lost a bit of my sense of awe about the boomerang when I read the part about King Tut having a collection of boomerangs in that wiki entry.
I think King Tut was also a big fan of hokey pokey icecream too! hee hee!
Donald Diddams: I thought it was what a person says when they don’t like that crap on the top of lemon pie. hee hee!

Oh, let’s take it up a level, shall we:
To be a handmade aboriginal novelty fake turd, or not to be a handmade aboriginal novelty fake turd: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a handmade aboriginal novelty fake turd
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream of handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds: ay, there’s the handmade aboriginal novelty fake turd;
For in that sleep of death what handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds may come
When we have shuffled off this handmade aboriginal novelty fake turd coil,
Must give us handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds;
For who would bear the handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds, the proud man’s handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds, delay,
The handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds of office and the handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds
That patient merit of the unworthy handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds takes,
When he himself might his handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary handmade aboriginal novelty fake turd,
But that the dread of some handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds after death,
The undiscover’d country from whose handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds we have
Than fly to other handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds that we know not of?
Thus handmade aboriginal novelty fake turd does make handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds of us all;
And thus the native hue of handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds,
And handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds of great pith and moment
With this regard their handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds turn awry,
And lose the name of handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds.–Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy handmade aboriginal novelty fake turds
Be all my sins remember’d.
