Mattel Games Magic 8 Ball Board Game

For the past several years, I have turned to this durable, well-made Magic 8 Ball in lieu of making my own life decisions. I am confident that if you follow this same way of life, you will experience the same level of success and happiness that I have. Here are some examples of how I have benefited from taking all of my advice solely from a liquid-filled plastic ball. -Before making any financial investments, I ask the Magic 8 Ball if the company will be strong in the future. I have yet to make any money, but at least I can blame the Magic 8 Ball if I lost my life savings. -Every day at lunch, I read the menu aloud and ask the Magic 8 Ball if I want any of the items; I have never regretted my order, though I often end up eating an appetizer or dessert as my main course, depending on what end of the menu I started with. -I met a girl and asked the Magic 8 Ball if I should ask her out. Now I'm married. Also, here are some little known Magic 8 Ball facts: -Harry Potter's scar and abilities actually came from an incident in which a Magic 8 Ball rolled out of a 3rd story window and hit him in the head. -The majority of Einstein's theorems were based on his work with the Magic 8 ball. -Neil Armstrong's quote "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" was actually in reference to the invention of the Magic 8 Ball. -For you twilight fans, Bella ended up with Edward because Edward had the sense to ask the Magic 8 Ball for advice, while Jacob's Magic 8 Ball was stuck in his pocket after he transmuted into a wolf and left his shredded clothes behind. -Darth Vader wasn't sure about Luke being his son, so he asked the Magic 8 ball. Fact: Magic 8 Ball > The Force -George Washington once asked the Magic 8 ball, "Should I lead a Continental Army in revolution against the British", and the Magic 8 Ball Replied, "Without a doubt". It is said that Washington then asked the ball, "Are you sure?", and the ball replied with an unusual, "I cannot tell a lie". Some believe Washington stole this quote from the Magic 8 Ball, but the ball didn't mind, because it's sole purpose is to help people in difficult situations. -Like Batman, this is the 8 Ball we deserve, but it is sometimes not the 8 ball we need right now. This is primarily the case when attempting to play a game of pool. (Side note: If two-face used the Magic 8 Ball instead of flipping a coin, he would be decidedly less evil, probably because it is relatively easier to use). -In the original scene of a A Few Good Men, Jack Nicholson is actually holding a Magic 8 Ball when shouting "You Can't Handle the Truth!!". He may have been right, but the truth is what you get when you use the Magic 8 Ball, regardless of whether you can handle it. It's not all cupcakes and unicorns though- there are times when you might not want the Magic 8 Ball to advise you. Here are some anecdotes to illustrate the problem: -My friend got drunk and asked the Magic 8 Ball if he should pee on his ex-girlfriend's doorstep. Now he is a registered sex offender. -Someone somewhere asked the Magic 8 Ball if he should join a gang. That guy is now asking the Magic 8 Ball whether he should trade cigarettes for some soap on a rope for the prison shower. -On Thanksgiving, I asked the Magic 8 Ball if the Turkey was done and it said, "Ask again later". I waited too long to ask again, and ended up with a dry turkey. -It is probable that Magic 8 Ball overutilization led to the economic crisis of 2008. This might be because the Magic 8 Ball never attended business school. Also, A couple of notes for using the Magic 8 Ball: *It is significantly larger than a normal 8 ball, and would make a lousy substitution for a game of pool. *Though you might be tempted to take it with you, I suggest leaving the Magic 8 Ball at home when you go to Vegas. Or maybe you should take it with you- honestly, what's the worst that could happen? *Don't attempt to drink the blue liquid it is filled with- I don't know what that is. *It is unfair to the throw the Magic 8 Ball just because you don't like the answer it gives you. Honestly, that's just immature. Its not like the ball hunted you down and forced you to ask it a question. You're the one who asked the question, M8B is just telling it like it is! *The Magic 8 Ball makes a lousy gift for dogs- its not that the Magic 8 Ball doesn't answer their questions, they just lack the requisite patience to wait for the answer to their first question before shaking the ball again. Talk about getting mixed signals...
