2 of these guys refer to thier erections as boomerangs

I wasn't one of them
"My boomerang won't come back" is a line an old Aussie song and there's an older Aussie saying "what do you think this is, bush week? "the Bush" in Australia slang refers to the countryside or rural areas and the saying refers to country folk who travel to the city and get ripped off by city slickers,....or in the UK it could be similar to "Are you trying to take the piss?" or "are you kidding me?" )

anyway, I'm as dry as a dead dingo's donger, so let's jump in the ute, shoot down to the rubbery dub, and buy a slab of stubbies

Once you learn to read, its almost impossible for you to look at writing, and not (try to) read it.

For example, try to name the color font of the words.


Red
Blue
Green
Yellow
Brown


It's difficult because you end up reading the word. If the words were Russian, you would still try to read it, however naming the color font would be easier.

Boomerangs were used for hunting and other uses. The Boomerang would be thrown into a flock of birds as they take flight, it's quite effective. Some were produced to return, but more commonly made not to return and were for straight line killing. Back in the 60's, just about every kid played with a boomerang at one time or another, the skill was in throwing it then catching it without moving your feet.....and. no, we didn't poke an eye out, but got conked on forehead or banged up fingers a few times trying to catch it on the return, ouch!

An even more interesting Australian Aboriginal weapon is the Woomera or spear thrower, which a 2.5" long flat stick with a slight hook at one end, the back end of a spear would be positioned into the hooked section and the woomera was held above the shoulder by the other end (the spear has to be steadied with the other hand and held in a horizontal or raised higher position) and then thrust forward at the target. Using a Woomera acts as an extension of the arm and so propels the spear with a much greater force and distance than by being thrown in the usual (one armed javelin) way, so large kangaroos at a distance could be killed. We made these when we were kids and it's amazing how much further you could thrust a spear when using a woomera.

Woomera is also the name of rocket range, satellite base in the Aussie desert
