Magic 8 Ball Santa

Magic 8 Ball SantaWitness the jiggling fat man! This couldn't wait for a Friday humor post. I've asked questions like: Will that cute brunette ever return my call? Will the Cincinnati Bengals go undefeated next year? Oh those lonely times at work...Huzzah!

I asked Santa if he ever told the truth. Santa answered, "No."

The great Magic 8 Ball Santa Paradox!

I asked I was going to get laid this weekend and santa said "does Prancer Prance?"

I don't know what to think of that.

Yeah, crazy louie, I got "Does Donder Dond?" What the hell is donding anyway? And how should I know if some also-ran reindeer does it?

"does Prancer Prance?"

After a second, that phrase disappears and is replaced by, "yes."

Just be patient with Santa's wit.

Here's a real 8-ball hooked up to a web cam and some Lego Mindstorm robotic gizmos. Ask away...

"H my 8-ball jacket?"

Should read: "Has anyone seen my 8-ball jacket?"

David Putty, I'm looking at you...

Santa Says: "Can't Think. "Jingle Bells." Stuck in my head."

Happens to me all the time.

BTW, Frank Grimes, that real 8-ball link is way cooler than the Santa.

That real 8-ball link is cool, but it seems the fates have conspired to keep my future a secret (screen grab).

I've found this never bodes well. If you don't hear from me again after Sunday, please know -- I loved you all.

Argh! I've been redirected to a "Sorry" page as the target page seems to think that I don't have Flash. But I do have Flash installed on this copy of IE 5.5. Are all Javascript Flash sniffers screwed, or just those at the sites I've been visiting lately?

I love the mechanical 8-ball. Especially his worklog - although I wonder how much noise the rig now makes. Is he ever awoken late at night by the sound of someone halfway around the world asking for a fortune?

Never fear, Ufez. I asked Santa, "Does Donder dond?" and he said "Ho, ho, ho, heck no."

I saw this posted on another newsblog with almost the same caption, except that "Who farted?" was left out on MeFi. What's the deal... are MeFi-ers too delicate to joke about farts?
posted by TreeHugger at 12:36 PM on December 5, 2002

No, I just left it out for no reason. I know, I know, it's lame but I get a kick out of the "Who Farted" gag every time .

I need help.

I have to call the IRS tomorrow regarding some "issues". I asked the Santa 8 Ball "Will the IRS analy rape me when I call them ?" Its response was "Yes. Christmas is the time for giving !"

I'm doomed.
