Magic 8 Ball -- I don't have a question, I just wanted to thank you for dropping into the pocket when I was playing pool a couple weeks back. It was a tough shot.

Magic 8ball - will people ever learn the government is not designed or equipped to fix everything?

As long both major parties run on the platform of "Government will fix this for you", each new generation will grow up with an increasing expectation that this is so.

Cicero, the House Committee on Strong Language has approved your full use of the F-word when discussing the situation you discussed above.
But your restraint is noted.

Magic 8-ball, should we buy that house? Even in this economy? Or just keep pissing money down the rent rat-hole?

I'm not the magic 8 ball, but house prices are down, and it's a good time to be a buyer rather than a seller. Assuming you can get a loan.

If you plan to live in the house for 10 years, then yes, go ahead and buy it. If you're going to live there for 5 years, do not buy it. Somewhere in between, shake the ball and try again.

GENTLY, damn it, shake me GENTLY. My god, you people are uncouth.

Dear Mr Ball,

Please forgive them. They have no knowledge of your inner workings, of the smooth viscosity through which your finely angled answers come. Education, my friend. Do you have any links to 8-ball autopsies?

Thank you,

Speaker of the Masses

I don't know why you would want such a thing, other than pure voyeuristic ghoulishness, but here you are.

Oh god, the horror. They didn't even properly anesthetize the ball ahead of time

Soy. I put soy in your chilli. Didn't you ask for a soy chilli latte?

And the gov't time on said projects is billable. Let's not forget.

Magic 8 ball, are you threatened by Ouija board practitioners?
