    Where to find a boomerang??

    Ok, this isnt a joke. My daughter goes from one sporting fad to another. Last year she wanted a beginner bow and arrow. This year she is wanting a boomerang. I have called every sporting company in the West Chester/Middletown area and no1 carries them. Anyone know where you can find boomerangs around here??I'd like an actual store around here and not buying it online.

    Q. What do you call a boomerang that won't come back?

    The problem with boomerangs is that if you try to return them, they always come back.

    If it's still there, check Benchmark in Blue Ash.

    I remember them having boomerangs, for some reason.

    For an entire year, I thought I worked across the street from a boomerang shop, and I eventually went in the store to check things out, but it turned out that they sold picture frames instead. Apparently, they displayed only one-fourth of the picture frames in the display area, creating the illusion of a wall full of boomerangs.

    A buddy of mine managed to get his hands on a cheap boomerang several years ago. Unfortunately we threw it on the roof of a building before we could really play with it a lot.

    Make sure you know whether you're buying a left or right handed one.

    He's right. You can bomb some of the walls if you have trouble getting there.

    Are you close to Fishers, Indiana? I know that Fry's Electronics stores carry boomerangs.
