So I suppose that it should come as no surprise that yet another skill toy has been added to our toy collection and if you've been following the blog closely you might even be able to guess what it is.
Kid Myach showed back up from Australia on Sunday and he came bearing gifts. Among them were groovy new Australian key chains for everyone, a few bags of a local Australian cookie called "Tim Tams", a few of those ridiculously cool Theatricks Myachis and, of course, the skill toy that Australia is famous for, the boomerang:

Boomerangs are amongst the oldest skill toys in the world so it seems odd that we're only finally getting around to adding a couple to our collection. Of course, it's kind of hard to master the boomerang when you live in NYC since they require wide open spaces. Not sure how soon we'll get going with them, but I'm sure that we'll find a way.
As we speak Monk is probably standing on top of the House of Skills chucking one of these suckers out into the wind. We've tried them as Frisbees and that hasn't worked out very well but despite the painful cost of catching them we tossed them back and forth for at least an hour yesterday.
I'm sure we'll wind up getting some crazy looks at the park when we head down there for an afternoon of boomeranging, but they won't be any crazier than the looks I got when I was learning to unicycle, lasso or walk on stilts.
I'll keep everyone posted on our progress with these suckers. Rest assured, Animal and I will not be satisfied until we can freeze bad guys and gather up Rupees with them.
