I absolutely LOVE my Magic 8 Ball. It’s the bom! We are in lurve (that’s basically UBER love for those who don’t know). So I am going to do a series of questions to show you how freaking awesome it is!

First a quick test:

FADE IN.

AMY
(to Magic 8 Ball)
Should I blog about your mystic wisdom?

MAGIC 8 BALL
Better not tell you now.

AMY
WTF?

Amy pauses a minute before:

AMY (Cont.)
(to Magic 8 Ball)
Fine, can you tell me now?

MACIG 8 BALL
Concentrate and ask again.

AMY (Cont.)
OMG! Fine.

Amy concentrates.

AMY (Cont.)
Are you ready to answer me?

MAGIC 8 BALL:
My reply is no.

FADE TO BLACK.

Seriously, none of that was made up. I really just had that conversation… alone in my office with my Magic 8 Ball (I maybe should be looking up a therapist vs. blogging). I wrote it as it happened (had I made it up our conversation would have gone much better, in my humble opinion).

Here I am all ready to promote my awesome Magic 8 Ball and it’s being coy?! Cheeky little devil. I didn’t realize it sopped up the sarcastic aura from my office. I mean we used to talk all the time.

Or maybe it’s not sarcasm but rather passive aggression.

I may have upset it by constantly using my “invisible” Magic 8 Ball. I always think it’s funny to answer someone with “Let me ask my invisible 8 ball”. Then I cup my hands and act out shaking the thing and ask it question. I of course insert whatever answers I want. I had no idea that this would cause a rift between my real Magic 8 Ball and myself.

So how do you make up with your Magic 8 Ball?! I mean it KNOWS like EVERYTHING. And now it’s all “My reply is no.”? That blows. Maybe I will concentrate and buy a NEW one in a few days.

  • When was the last time you bought it flowers? I mean it could just be old-fashion neglect. Have you told it how good it looks, how slim it looks in all black.
    My lucky bamboo is dying. I think I will live in denial, toss it out and get a new one...it can haunt me later.
  • I have never bought it flowers! ZOMG, I didn't even think of that. lol! You are cracking me up! Beware the Haunted Baboo!! Ha ha.

    You could also make it feel very important. Ask it a question and beg it to answer. "Please, please magic 8 ball, I desperately need your advice...." I bet it forgives you.

    My magic bamboo is just a regular bamboo I bought at Trader Joes. I put it in the wealth corner of my house and, lo and behold, that week we had extra money come in! I put a picture of it on Twitter. I hope I can keep it alive.
  • Trisha: I wish I had somthing better than, "LMFAO" to say to that - but there it is. ha ha ha! That's awesome.

    If you buy a new one they will just team together and not have one that is working.
  • Dan: Ooh. I had not thought of that possibility. Now I have no idea what I should do... I think I am back to taking it out to dinner. Normally I would ask it if that's the best idea but will it tell me?! lol

    Lainey: ha ha! great advice! I will give it some "cave time". Hadn't thought of that one.

    Jessi: OMG! I think I used it to determine a raise for you once. As I recall you got it. Ha ha ha. Thanks for the comments everyone!
  • YOU ROCKED IT OUTLOUD!!!!!!

    You made me laugh... I could just see you in my head doing it! OMG. I love you!
    I remember you @ work shaking your hands like the shape of your magic 8 ball...
    and I could never hold myself together without bursting into absolute laughter.

    Funny, I was going to blog about my magical bamboo this week!
  • Trisha Pearson
    Maybe you should smudge it to clear the negative vibes. Then take it out for drinks or something.
