Where Has the Magic Gone?

Chup took me to lunch at Bajio's today to tell me some bad news. It is about the "magic" in my Magic 8 Ball. He claimed to have indisputable evidence that my Precious Object is a not a Divinely Guided Medium with Floating Answers to the Great Beyond.

In actuality, it is filled with nothing but--are you ready for this?--water and blue dye.

Thanks for letting me know. From now on, I will just stick to my ouija board from K-mart.

you know, I never did get my magic 8 ball answer so this doesn't surprise me.

Sorry for your loss.

This still doesn't deter me from getting an Affirmation Ball. Oh no.

I like that you have so much to say lately. I don't have anything to say. What's wrong with me?

Leslie said...

who are these hanttula people anyway and why did they have to go and ruin a perfectly good magic trick for all of us who truly believed? whatev.

Don't despair. Seeing the inside of the 8 ball doesn't destroy its power. Just because we can diagram a string of DNA, is life any less a miracle? What did we think? There were psychic sea monkeys inside, carefully rotating the magical die to display the correct response? Silly. My theory is that INVISIBLE psychic sea monkeys live in the inner cylinder. Totally logical.

It's all in the shake, I tell you. It's the SHAKE!

Thomas said...

well, um, even to Laman and Lemuel, the Liahona was probably just a metal ball with spindles.

Liz said...

um. is the person in the background wearing a gown, as in a graduation cap and gown in this photo?

i sure hope so. that would be awesome.

I was having kind of a crappy day today.... that is until I read "don't cry for me blogarentia"

Now I'm laughing. That's all it took. : )

I never believed. I said it.

Please believe what my Magic 8 Ball told you last week. Through hard times that little forecaster has been consistent unto me.

Liz, that is most perceptive of you. At first I thought you meant Chup in his green hoodie. But perhaps you meant the guy in the right-hand corner? That guy was walking past Bajio outside at the moment I clicked this photo. Upon further inspection, Chup has concluded that guy is his friend Rhett. Most weird for us. Most perceptive of you.

You know, in my line of work as a supervisor (and I use that term loosely) part of my job is to answer questions. You don't know how many times I am tempted to just buy me a Magic 8 ball and keep at my desk just to consult once in a while.

Liz said...

the 8 ball worked for me- my pipes are moving again.

It was the green hoodie i was referring to. it is shiny in nature (no?) and reminded me to graduation. i can't say i am not disappointed you don't have the strange husband who wears capes or gowns in public.
