It was a later age — maybe sixth grade — when someone gave me what I recall was an authentic, aboriginal-made Australian boomerang. After much unsuccessful effort tossing and retrieving the ineffectual weapon, I concluded boomerangs were a big hoax. Years later, I did finally succeed throwing it … into the trash.
This throwing and having it come back —- Reminds me a younger time when I had a loaded large pizza with a six pack. That pizza came back and came back and came….
I didn’t get a boomerang until I was probably in high school? It was actually a competition left handed one – I still have it somewhere. It worked great! Needed a pretty good size field, but it would circle. The thing I didn’t realize until years later when I was on a business trip to Australia was that in the aborigines actually used hunting boomerangs which weren’t really designed to come back. I was tremendously disappointed.

I had a nerf, an aerobie, and a traditional wooden boomerang when I was a kid. I couldn’t tell you the fate of any of them.

“What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t return?”
“A stick.”

Uh yeah, I’d be more worried my best friend wants to jump over me with his bike!

So Spud was the only victim, I mean volunteer, Wallace could find for his daredevil stunt?

This was from a Batman comic, told by the Joker: “I bought a new boomerang, but now I’ve got a problem. How do I throw away the old one?”

Somehow I don’t see this ending very well.

Being the main part of the Legendary Spud Jump could cause anxiety.

The younger Spud is cute:only one forehead curl and bib overalls the same color as his vest.

I made a boomerang when I was ten. It worked fine.

If spud was in kindergarten he would be weak so shouldnt the boomerang have fallen after like 2 seconds or so
