I am the magic 8 ball
 
I am the magic 8 ball. Ask me anything. I will tell the truth.


Or, if not the truth, something vague and oddly-worded enough that you can take it as support for your own pre-determined opinions.

So ask away! what could possible go wrong!

Michael Jackson: guilty or not?

Please respond before the bought-and-paid-for jury returns the (ha-ha) verdict.

Will the guy that I added to the "shitty tipper database" on bitterwaitress.com ever do an internet search on his name and find it?

SteveDallas 06-06-2005 10:25 AM

whew I'm not listed.. safe for now! ;)

a shitty tip is, by my definition, any gratuity under 17% for service which one's peers would judge as adequate or better (eg. orders are correct, on time, special requests are honored, etc.)
Uh, then I'm a shitty tipper. And how exactly does this help a waitress when you don't see their names until they hand over their card?

Which is good, because we prophets of the word of the 8 ball need all the support we can get.

He will not. He thinks that he is a fantastic tipper, but that he keeps getting bad service everywhere he goes. He thinks of himself as a 20% tipper, only because of the awful service everywhere, he's never actually left 20% at any time in his life.

But when the great service industry revolt and cultural purge begins in the fall of 2008, he will be the first one thrown into the re-education camps. Viva La Revolucion! Da Me la Dinero!

Guilty.

But he will not be convicted at this trial. The sleezy mom provides reasonable doubt.

MJ will finally receive his cumupance in spring of 2009, when he, OJ Simpson, and Ashlee Simpson all run out of money, and are forced to tour Indian casinos and truck stops performing the motown hits of the early 70's as the trio, "The Wonderfuls."

Hey SM, will this thread devolve into yet another pointless "tipping" thread?

Dear Magic 8 Ball,

Can you just gouge my eyes out now that I've read that horrible thought?

P.S. Please don't spell "comeuppance" like that.

The magic 8 ball is about peace, openness and pacificsm - the magic 8 ball would never gouge your eyes out.

You will, however lose your eyes in a freak accident while attempting to switch cell phone carriers later this year. I can't give you too much in the way of details, but lets just say, when they ask if you want the option eye guard / pith helmet adaptor for your new phone, spend the extra money steve, spend the extra money.

Now that every one of my teeth has been root canalled and/or sealed, should I stick with the extra-expensive dentist I currently use or find one that's cheaper?

Damn Stacy, reading that site really makes me want to tip poorly.

staceyv 06-06-2005 03:42 PM

Um, he couldn't possibly think he's a great tipper, because he left me nothing on $91.


"And how exactly does this help a waitress when you don't see their names until they hand over their card?"

It's about getting revenge, that's all. It can't help us identify them but it makes us feel better to spread their name over the internet as a shitty tipper.

Jinx, agreed. A lot of the venting that goes on there makes waitresses look very bad, and I don't visit that site often because the poor attitude is contagious. We are not all like that.

and sorry about (god forbid) bringing up tipping issues. No more.

Magic 8 ball, how long will my chihuahua live?

A doctor? for your teeth? What's next, a lawyer for your hair?

You should remove all of your teeth, and replace them with platinum diamond spinners and falsies. That way, all of the peoples will know dat you be pimpin' yo.

Yes, she will marry him, for two reasons. She like feeling superior to him, it gives her a continual excuse for not working on the things in her own life that need attention.

And no, she will not listen to you. She already knows everything you're going to say, but she doesn't want to tell you the real reasons why she's moving ahead with the wedding.

She's afraid that she will never find anyone else.

You can, but only the first answer will be carefully formulated and exquisitely stated. Second and third answers will just be pulled from my magic 8 ass.

Common mistake. John Belushi actually didn't die, his fatal overdose was faked for insurance reasons. He is still performing under the new stage name "Dakota Fanning."

You chuihuahua will live a long and prosperous life. His career as a location scout for cheaply made mexican fetish porn, however, will be ending much sooner.

Don't cry for him though. He's had a good run. If you know what I mean. And I know you do, Stacey, I know you do. You don't TW, but Stacey does.

It is doubtful. Elvis Presley died of fried banana sandwiches and uppers, Jimmy Hoffa died of ... well, let's just say he didn't swim too well in his new shoes.

His new cement shoes.

Mental midget is a common usage, and cannot be copyrighted. It can be trademarked, but only if you use it from some specific product, as in ..

"Mental Midget brand Steam Huffers! Cheap as free! Never Reformulated!

As they always say, you're only a Mental Midget away from huffing our steam!"

Raise a black flag containing a skull and two cross bones. Then you can use anything you want. Even medical marijuana and Canadian Viagra.

Fashion and Design are not the sorts of things that can be studied. You either have them, or you are straight.

And you, my friend, have them.

was that programming in BASIC?
because it's bringing back unfond memories of high school...

that programming was as close to BASIC as I can remember, having not worked with it in probably close to 20 years.

mrnoodle 06-07-2005 08:51 AM

will our band ever have a full time bass player? Alternately, will the one who plays with us now drop his paying gigs to pursue full time international glory and stardom in 2-minute instrumental metal chunks?

He will not. He knows that the chances of your band ever actually making it to international stardom are very slim, where the chances of him getting paid $125 for playing at some guys wedding are, in fact, very good. He licks his salty chops and takes the $125, because, lets face it, beer is not cheap as free, and rock star dreams don't get you drunk.
