[jake-the-peg]

That'd be what we call a "stick" then snagged!

Try using it with a Springer Spaniel

(low chanting)
In the bad bad lands of Australia many years ago
The Aborigine tribes were meeting, having a big pow-wow
(chanting)
(low voice): We've got a lot of trouble, Chief, on account of your son Mac!
(midrange voice): My boy Mac, what's wrong with him?
(high-pitched voice, young prince): My boomerang won't come back!
(low voices): Your boomerang won't come back
(prince): My boomerang won't come back
My boomerang won't come back
I've waved the thing all over the place
Practiced till I was black in the face
I'm a big disgrace t' the Aborigine race
My boomerang won't back
I want a kangaroo (yeah yeah)
Make kangatoo stew (yea yeah)
But I'm a big disgrace t' the Aborigine race
My boomerang won't back

They banished him from the tribes' lair & sent him on his way
He had a hapless boomerang, so here he could not stay
(shrieks of animals)
(prince): This is nice, isn't it? Getting banished at my time in life. What a way to
spend an evening. Sittin' on a rock in the middle of the desert with me boomerang in me
hand. I should very likely get bushwhacked. (animal shriek) (prince): Get out of here,
nasty bushwhackin' animal! Think I'll make a nice cup of tea. (boing boing boing)
(prince): Good gracious! There goes a kangaroo! I must have practice with me boomerang.
Hey, right behind the left elbow, then slowly back... (kangaroo): If you throw that thing
at me, I'll jump right on your head! (laughs) (prince): Ain't it marvelous! In a land
full of kangaroos I might not get that one!

[admarlow]

For 3 long months he sat there, or maybe it was 4
Then an old old man in a kangaroo skin came a-knockin' at his door
(old man): I'm the local with doctor, son. They call me Joe Joseph Black.
Now tell me, what's your trouble, boy?
(prince): My boomerang won't come back!
(old man): Your boomerang won't come back
(prince): My boomerang won't come back
My boomerang won't come back
I've waved the thing all over the place
Practiced till I was black in the face
I'm a big disgrace t' the Aborigine race
My boomerang won't back
(old man): Don't worry, boy, I know the trick & to you I'm gonna show it
If you want your boomerang to come back, well, first you've got to throw it!
(prince): Oh yes, never thought of that. Daddy will be pleased. Must have a girl...
(old man): Excuse me. Now then, slowly back...& throw! (sound of boomerang flying)

(old man): Oh my God! Avit the flying doctah! He-he-he-he!
(prince): Can you do farther eat?
(old man): Don't talk to me about first taste boy; you owe me 14 chickens for teaching
you to throw the boomerang; first things first. (prince): Yes, I know that, but I mean, I
think, on this occasion, you know ...& fade

Admarlow you really are a lunatic lol !

JTP is right. The boomerang is often thought of as a weapon. However, the boomerang has always been primarily a recreational toy (not the bedroom kind) The real weapon used by the Aborigines was the killer-stick. The killer-stick shares many properties with the boomerang except one. The killer-stick does not return.

If you are sure you have a boomerang and NOT a killer-stick, then you need to know that the boomerang consists of a leading wing and a trailing wing connected at the elbow. Each wing has the typical cross section of a airfoil. Therefore, each wing has a leading and trailing edge arranged so as the leading edge strikes the air first as the boomerang rotates. Because of this configuration, there are right-handed and left-handed boomerangs. So, are you throwing your "boomerang" with the correct hand?

If you feel that you are and you are really really prepared to �let go� of your beloved boomerang (not killer-stick) then when a boomerang is �tossed� in the correct manner (that is, at least 20� off centre), the wings rotate through the air and react to the aerodynamic and gyroscopic forces. These forces cause the boomerang to circle around and lay down as it returns until it descends in a horizontal hover. During the flight of the boomerang, the following principles come into play: Bernoulli's relation, gyroscopic stability, gyroscopic precession, and Newton's laws of motion. So until you have learned all about these, I would just keep hold of the boomerang and use it�s two arms to have a good old lovely cuddle and buy yourself a few killer-sticks instead. One boomerang in the hand is worth (at least) two killer-sticks in a bush.

snagged, i may have it one landed in my garden this morning if you can give me a description ill get it back to you

[eyeshade]

you should post it on the missing boomerang helpline incase someone spots it. There aren't too many out there at the moment so chances are he/she will come back of their own accord!

[tubeway]

What does your diggery do ?

[ummmm1]

Have you tried shouting it?

[mandimoo]

if you let it go and it dont come back.... it was never yours in the first place

[Eric Git]

Don't throw it then.
