Is the Magic 8 Ball full of epic win? Signs point to yes.
Have millions of children made terrible decisions in life based purely on your advice? It is decidedly so.
Will this toy keep a stoner busy for hours? Reply hazy, try again.
Do you know the meaning of life? Concentrate and ask again.
If I break you open will I be bestowed with your fortune telling powers?

“When will I fall in love, 8 ball?”
“…ask me later.”
I knew it! I knew it was just a big d20 in there!
Yep! They’re pretty cool. I first figured that out when some kid was pissing me off in middle school and I whacked him with my eight ball hard enough to break it. It was fun and educational!
I found out the ball was hollow inside except for a tube that held the liquid with the die floating in it. I only got in trouble for hitting that kid because I threw the ball out the window of the moving bus and hit a passing truck with it. I got suspended but at least that stupid little jerk quit bothering me.
On the bus to camp when I was 10 there was a bully who kept picking n me everyday. I eventually got so fed up that I told the bully and his friends off and slugged the jerk in the face. The bus driver was happy that I did it.
In Jr high, I got in a fight with a kid and a bunch of other kids’ parents called my parents to thank and congratulate me for beating him up.
I’m glad to see that sometimes we’re rewarded for standing up for ourselves. Yay for giving bullies what they deserve!
should i invest in merril lynch
yes
I think I still have mine somewhere although there’s not as much blue water in it as before.
I have one at home and one at my desk within reach!
Hah, I hate to tell you but I am 47 years old! I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up.
I have a spongebob one. Is square with a square one in side. “Will I pass my exam if i don’t study?”
“crab-soluteley”
Haha, these are great. The post itself is a WIN, as well.
My former boss had one of these on her desk. Whenever I’d come into her office on any business, I’d pick the thing up and ask “Am I in trouble?”
Always, always, the answer was “Yes.”
We got along great as a team, and we’re still on good terms since she was promoted to another department.
So I still wonder about that trouble….
The 8 Ball was just keeping you on your toes so you wouldn’t let your guard down and end up in trouble.
Dude, it’s just an oversized d20 with words on it, suspended in fluid. (And yes, it will keep a stoner busy for quite a while.)
Which would be essentially what I said back in comment #2.
Yeah, right. I’d rather have the sarcastic variety.

lol “reply hazy”
When I was a little girl my plush kitties, unicorns and a couple barbies and I all had a secret club that revolved around this thing… Lord I loved playing that game when I was a kid! lol
^ WTF
Hey when you’re really little (and a girl) your best friends are your stuffed animals. They always listen to you, and they never talk about what you tell them. But seriously Northy, you shouldn’t have let the boys know about the secret club meetings… now we’re all in trouble.
I am so pleased I have versions of the last two epic wins right here on my desk at work. A yellow smiley face version of the magic 8 ball and two (count ‘em, TWO) plastic slinkies with my company’s logo on them.
Desk of win? Signs point to yes.
Once, after getting a bunch of negative answers, I asked my 8-ball if it was the emissary of the devil. It was decidedly so. I decidedly put that one in the trash.
fail
I have to have one on me at all times so I installed 8 ball on my I touch.
My parents never let me get one of these when I was a kid
They said it was part of the occult and would lead me to Satan worship. The freaks.
WoW wtf, and u turned out OK with those parents?
Satan Worship??? It’s a bloody D20. There’s nothing magical about it. It might look like Magic, but like all Magic it’s all done with wires and mirrors. Don’t you just love Religious Fanatics
My parents told me the girl from the Exorcist became possessed by the devil because she played with a Oija board, and that it would happen to me if I ever did too.
Ouja boards still give me the creeps…….
I’ve heard some crazy horror stories, too.
Not worth it, IMO. But to each his own.
Sounds like my parents…
If I break you open, will my hands be stained blue for three days?
-Yes-
I actually had a boyfriend in high school break up with me becuase his 8 ball said so. I was I was joking. Mike Fisher, you’re a moron.
What? What were you joking about?
Renee – “Hey Mike! I bet you won’t leave me if this you ask your 8-ball if I should be your g/f or not!”
Mike -”Bitch, yes I will.” and later asks 8-ball, “Should I leave this ignorant Renee chick?”
8-ball – “You may rely on it.”
remove *this…. stupid me… stupid me…
Your sources are wrong, bitch!
Will this toy keep a stoner busy for hours? Reply hazy, try again.
Ahhhh….the 70’s
I keep a magic eight ball on my altar at home, along with a tiny angel .If you squeeze the angel belly, it says.”help me God”. so on hurried mornings instead of prayer , I squeeze the angel (Help me god says the tiny squeaky voice) then quickly …………i flip over the eight ball to see what God has to say .
just its proximity to the nag champa makes it a holy item right?,bwhahahaha
From what I was told, a stock manager at where I worked used an eightball to order the store through the christmass rush. He ended up not having too much stock, and kept the store manager happy. He left it to the next manager.
My name is Cris and I’m from Spain.
A friend of mine went to Arizona this past summer and I wonder what gift I wanted from there, and I just told him: Magic 8 Ball
It has been the best gift I could bring.
Here in Spain you can not get this kind of objects and my friends are like mad to get the Magic 8 Ball.
greetings!
Exellent post. You got some really good points there.Http://www.onepieceofmylife.com

I love Magic 8 ball! Also, a favorite scene from Scrubs is when Turk tells Dr. Cox that you can’t trust a Magic 8 Ball because once when he was 10, he asked it if he should crack it open and and drink the liquid inside. “I puked blue for three days.” Love it!
Don’t break it open! Get that juice on your skin and you’ll itch for a week. Don’t ask how we (hubby and I) know this.
My husband had a horrible experience with a magic 8 ball. It was before we were married and it was within the 2 weeks that we would have known for sure if I was preggers or not. He asked if I was preggers and it said yes, even when he tried to trick it by using double and tripple negatives. The 8 ball knew!

i prefer fortune cookies these days.
