This past Monday, I began a new weekly feature here at GraphiContent called Magic Eight Ball Mondays where I ask a magic eight ball questions. In our first edition, I questioned it about the Skrull invasion currently going on in the Marvel universe and which heroes are actually Skrulls in disguise. As always, anything that's positive is a yes ("outlook good," for example could be ambiguous depending on whether you're asking about a bad thing or not, you know) and anything negative is a no. If it says to ask later, we do that, etc.
Me: Magic eight ball, you ready?
8: It Is Decidedly So
Me: Rock and roll. Do you think the Blogathon is going well?
8: Without A Doubt
Me: How about my stuff?
8: Cannot Predict Now
Me: Will more people pledge some money to help fight alzheimer's?
8: Yes Definitely
Me: Excellent! Now, you want to do some comic questions?
8: My Reply Is No
Me: Um . . . no?
8: My Reply Is No
Me: This is a comic blog! You should be answering some comic book questions, don't you think so?
8: My Reply Is No
Me: Will you do some comic questions at 12:30?
8: Reply Hazy Try Again
Me: Will you do some comic questions at 12:30?
8: Better Not Tell You Now
Me: You're a fucking asshole, magic eight ball. A real smug bastard. Did you know that?
8: Yes
Me: And you're okay with that?
8: Concentrate And Ask Again
Me: ARE. YOU. OKAY. WITH. BEING. A. REAL. SMUG. BASTARD?
8: It Is Decidedly So
Me: Goddammit. If you won't answer comic questions then I don't know what to ask. Um, do the Hives kick ass?
8: Yes Definitely
Me: I knew that already. Uh . . . will I make it to 9 am?
8: Better Not Tell You Now
Me: . . . fuck you?
8: Cannot Predict Now
Me: Always with the smart comebacks. Will you at least answer one comic question? One about the title of Casey's last issue of Uncanny X-Men?
8: Cannot Predict Now
Me: You goddamn asshole. You love toying with me, don't you?
8: Don't Count On It
Me: . . . you're fucking with me right now, aren't you?
8: It Is Decidedly So
Me: I knew it! I fucking knew it! Motherfucker! Do you want to keep going?
8: My Sources Say No
Okay, we'll leave it at that for this round of questions. Do you see what I mean about the magic eight ball being a total dick? I mean, Christ. (And no, I am not changing any answers for the purposes of being funny. I am using the magic eight ball program here and copying and pasting the responses. The magic eight ball really is a smug bastard.)
In 30 minutes, we'll continue our little dance and hopefully get some answers about stuff related to comics. But who knows with this bastard.
