The Magic 8 Ball will take your questions!

[legalsea]

This morning I was preparing for Halloween by filling up my water balloons when I suddenly became aware of the sound of a ball rolling across the floor. You can imagine my horror when I looked down and saw a black cat!

It turned out to just be my cat, Whiskers, a ginger-colored cat who had, again, gotten into my fireplace. I do plan to call a chimney sweep real soon.

Looking beyond Whiskers I was startled to see my Magic 8 Ball rolling silently and menacingly towards me. Of course, by ‘silently’ I mean it was not speaking or screaming; it was just making the rolling sound I mentioned earlier.

The Magic 8 ball came to a sudden stop (it had hit a piece of Kibble and Bits that I had flung out on the floor for Whiskers). After I removed the obstacle the Magic 8 Ball resumed rolling towards me (I will mention that my house is not level, so its rolling on the north-south axis in my study is not that unusual).

What was unusual, however, was that the Magic 8 Ball was wearing a black hat like a witch would wear. However, instead of being pointy as most witches prefer it was all smashed down and out of shape (I guess from the Magic 8 Ball rolling over it every foot or so; Magic 8 Balls cannot wear clothing that well without the clothing getting out of shape quickly).

The Magic 8 Ball finally came to a stop at my feet (actually, on my toes, which was slightly painful since I was not wearing any footwear). I took this as a sign that I must either get ready to go in to work, or call in sick and offer the Magic 8 Balls services to the dear readers of the Disney Message board. I choose the later option. At least the H1N1 flu provides one good benefit for slackers like me (note to myself: if you really do come down with said flu in the next few months, I believe I cannot use it as an excuse again; I shall watch the headlines for the next pandemic).

Remember, if you have a question for the Magic 8 Ball it must be in the form of “Oh, Magic 8 Ball…” The Magic 8 Ball is very particular about this.

Also remember that the Magic 8 Ball, although magical to the extreme, is rather limited in its range of answers. If cannot, for instance, provide a detailed review of the movie “This is It”, or give you the plot summary to the latest James Patterson novel.

The Magic 8 Ball awaits your questions.

Oh Magic 8 Ball, does LegalSea really make use of water balloons on Halloween?

Oh Magic 8 Ball, does LegalSea really make use of water balloons on Halloween?

Hmm. Rather a personal question that could, in theory at least, place me at some personal risk of arrest or at least a beating. However, we need to get the Magic 8 Ball 'warmed up' so I will ask it:

Oh, Magic 8 Ball, will Legalsea make use of this huge and colorful pile of water balloons on Halloween?

(shaking Magic 8 Ball)

"Signs point to yes"

Ah, well.....

Of course, 'make use of' can be interpreted in many, many different ways. I do not, of course, plan to throw them at small children dressed up as demons and angels that come to my door and request that I share some of my hard-earned candy with them. Not a bit!

Yes. In fact, I plan to hand them out to the dear children as a special treat (all children love water balloons!). Since I am afraid of contracting the H1N1 virus I will not be able to personally place them in the dear children's hands, but I will simply drop each water ballon to the sweet, greedy child, from the second floor spare bedroom.

Oh Magic 8 Ball, what flavor Jell-O shots should I make for a Halloween Party this weekend?

 

[just4today]

Magic 8 Ball - will my children bring home enough Reese's peanut butter cups on Saturday in order that I can sneak some and not have them notice they're missing?

 

[legalsea]

Oh Magic 8 Ball, what flavor Jell-O shots should I make for a Halloween Party this weekend?

I have shaken this Magic 8 Ball for the past fifteen minutes, asking it "Oh Magic 8 Ball, what flavor of Jello Shots should budmonster serve at his or her Halloween party this weekend, probably on Halloween Night, since to have a Halloween Party on Sunday Night would be Silly"

Unfortunately, the only 'flavor' the Magic 8 Ball can answer is "Tequila".

Now, if your guests are all of legal age, then this is a very appropriate answer. There is nothing like a refreshing shot of Tequila Jello to get the Halloween party movin' and groovin'.

However, it the party is for wet miserable children (sorry, I was thinking about the water balloons) then I would suggest "Lime".

 

[legalsea]

Magic 8 Ball - will my children bring home enough Reese's peanut butter cups on Saturday in order that I can sneak some and not have them notice they're missing?

Now, there is an apt question! Let us see the response:

"Oh Magic 8 Ball, will the children of just4today bring home enough Reese's Peanut Butter Cups after trick-or-treating so that just4today can 'sneak' some so that the wet miserable children (sorry, thinking of the water balloons again) will not notice?"

(shaking the Ball like a paint shaker thingy at Lowes)

"As I see it, yes"

Well, there we go! The Magic 8 Ball has looked deep into the cosmos and has determined that, strangely enough, all of the houses that your wet, miserable (sorry) children go to will hand out Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

That is interesting. Do you live in a factory town where Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are made? Sorta like Hershey, Pennsylvania? Do you live in "Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Rhode Island", perhaps?

Anyway, my personal opinion: since you are obviously addicted to Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, I suggest that you throw off all disguise and, when your wet children arrive home, simply grab their bags, dump out the loot, and take every Reeses Peanut Butter Cup you find. Remember to mutter to your wet children "Welcome to the real world".

Awesome! I have that to look forward to.

Thanks Magic 8 Ball and since this is an Adult, and I use that term loosely (we're 40ish going on 25), party. I think I will combine your anwers and make "Lime Tequila" jello shots. What would I have ever done without you Magic 8 Ball.

Oh Magic 8 Ball, will I have time to finish my decorations before Saturday? And will my house be scariest on the block?

Sorry, it's a 2 parter, but I just HAVE to know.......

 

[legalsea]

Oh Magic 8 Ball, will I have time to finish my decorations before Saturday? And will my house be scariest on the block?

Sorry, it's a 2 parter, but I just HAVE to know.......

We shall break it up for the Magic 8 Ball, since it is, after all, a rather simple, if magical, ball.

Oh Magic 8 Ball! Will pixiwings71 have time to finish her decorations before Saturday?

(shaking ball like flu victim)

"Don't bet on it"

Oh, my, pixiewings71, that is not a very good answer.

Of course, the Magic 8 Ball knows all and it probably knows that, instead of diligently working on your decorations, you are sitting at a computer asking strange magical balls questions about whether you should be working on your decorations. Did you think they would get done by sitting at the computer? Do not try and pull the wool over the Magical Eye of the Magic 8 Ball!

Now, as for your second question:

Oh, Magic 8 Ball, will pixiewings71's house be the scariest on the block?

(shake like a James Bond martini)

"Yes, in due time".

Hmm. That is a little vague. "In due time".

I guess that the Magic 8 Ball was not referring to Halloween decorations, but to the fact that you sit at your computer instead of working on your house. If a person neglects their house long enough then, yes, it will, sooner or later, become the 'scariest' house in the neighborhood, whether we are talking about All Hallows Eve or the sunniest day in July.

Indeed, this time of year many people come up to my door asking where the entrance to the Haunted House is and where do they pay. I pocket the fin and direct them to the garden gate at the side. They usually come running out after five minutes, especially when they see my garden (I myself last saw it in 1997). They never complete the tour by coming into my house (even though it is part of the price) since it has become so scary looking after years and years of neglect. Indeed, although I have long paid for home delivery of my newspaper, the paper boy refuses to come that close to my house, and demands that I drive over to HIS house to collect my morning newspaper. I keep meaning to complain about that, since it is over a mile to his house.

Anyway, the Magic 8 Ball's point is: keep your house in good repair! I hope that helps.

Dear All-Powerful and Wonderous Magical Eight Ball,

If I do come in costume tomorrow, will I win the $300 Prize?

Thanks!

Handbag Lady

 

[Piglet843]

Oh, Magic 8 Ball!!
Is my Virgin Vampire Costume going to take home the grand prize on saturday?
I have the white corset dress, white makeup, white out contacts, and fangs....
Its soo creepy!!

 

[legalsea]

Well! Calling it the “All-Powerful and Wonderous Magical Eight Ball” is certainly a great way of getting the Magic 8 Ball’s attention!

Ok, here we go:

Oh, Magic 8 Ball! Will…..What? What is that Magic 8 Ball?

Ok. Let us try again. The Magic 8 Ball desires a small change in how I address it (drat you, Handbag Lady!)

Ahem. Oh, All-Powerful and Wonderous Magical Eight Ball, if Handbag Lady decides to dress in costume tomorrow, will she win the $300.00 prize?

(shake the blasted All-Powerful and Wonderous Magical 8 Ball like the egotistical idiot ball that it is):

“Looks good to me!”

Rather a more vague answer than I was hoping for, Handbag Lady. Obviously the All-Powerful and Wonderous Magical Eight Ball peered into the future and liked what you were wearing.

Of course, the All-Powerful and Wonderous Magical Eight Ball may well be a little hesitant in giving a more definite answer since it wonders what kind of costume one would wear on October 30th, which is not any kind of holiday I have ever heard of, and why anyone would award you $300.00 for wearing a costume on that day. Nevertheless, the All-Powerful and Wonderous Magical Eight Ball likes what you propose to wear (it has not told me). Perhaps you are dressing as a female version of the All-Powerful and Wonderous Magical Eight Ball? If so, said All-Powerful and Wonderous Magical Eight Ball would like a PM.

My advice is to wear a costume on Saturday, October 31st, which is also known as Halloween, and is traditionally a day that adults park their children with a babysitter, dress up like Twilight Vampires or such, and go off for Lime Tequila shots.

Oh, Magic 8 Ball!!

The Magic 8 Ball (I refuse to address it by the longer title given it by Handbag Lady) would, er, like a photo of you in said costume.

Anyway, I shall submit your question:

Oh, Magic 8 Ball, will Piglet843 take home the grand prize on Saturday by dressing as a Virgin Vampire?

(shake like a drunken vampire)

“Looking good!”

I can’t tell if the Magic 8 Ball is referring to your chances of your winning the grand prize, or simply referring to how you look in the white corset dress regardless of prizes.

However, both the Magic 8 Ball and myself believe that dressing as a Virgin Vampire in a white corset dress (I guess like a Vampire Madonna) is a winner in any contest.

We do have our doubts about the white makeup, white out contacts and fangs (presumably white also), and agree that it sounds somewhat creepy.

 

[legalsea]

Oops, the Magic 8 Ball has announced that it is going off duty for the day! Thanks for the questions!

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Darn!

Missed it by That Much!!

Rats. I was going to ask it if those pilots really were looking at porn on their laptops.

Actually I'm at work posting so I can't be working on the house. But the answer was much as I suspected....*sigh* I guess I might have to skip my evening workout...or have a not completely decorated house for Saturday.... Thank You O Magical 8 Ball for your time.
