This is a paperweight handed out by ConocoPhillips to employees that is in the shape of the old "Magic 8-Ball" fortune teller (from inside the ball). It is made of stainless steel and has the same "fates" as the original.
The "cube" is 1 1/2 inch in all directions.
Happy Macro Monday to all!
The All-Knowing Oracle, the Magic 8 Ball , will answer all your "yes or no" questions quickly .
4 inches in diameter with a sleek black and white sheen, the Magic 8 Ball is a sure cure for indecision and a great reliever of metaphysical anxiety
What's inside a Magic 8 Ball?
The casing busted open after a few hits with the hammer, revealing the container with the blue goo, and the 20 sided answer dice. The grey ring was used to hold the blue goo container in place.
Voté tempranito pero como no quería esperar los resultados "oficiales" y la ansiedad me consumía, le pregunté a mi magic 8 ball si ganaría el NO. Me respondió: ask later :(
'MY SOURCES SAY NO'.
liar...liaR...liAR...LIAR!!!! Never, ever, make life changing decisions using a Magic 8 Ball.
These days...just ask Siri.
Strange: "If the Magic 8 Ball says yes, Loki, you are a douchebag, then that's just what you are."
Snape: "The 8 Ball doesn't lie."
Loki: "What IS this magic?"

The Magic 8 ball started life in the 1940's as a serious fortune telling device and was called a Syco-See. In 1950 the design was updated to it's current form and renamed Magic 8 Ball.
Will there be a bright future for this minifigure scale Fortune Ball?
(shake, shake, shake)
It is decidedly so
What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way

Gina: The spirits are here clamoring for us to commune with them! Let's use the Ouija board!
Lark: Uhhh, I don't think so....aren't those things kind of dangerous?
Gina; (rolls her eyes) Of course not! It is just a game, really. Its made by Parker Brothers!
Lark: I would rather play Magic 8 Ball.
Gina: Sighhh...how about you, Ms. Mallymkun? What do you want to play?
Ms. Mallymkun: Don't look at me, I don't like either of these spooky games. I brought my See-n-Say!
Jillian is my local demonic girl I love her so much! Most people say she looks like she will bite someone and I always say they're right.
To serve as a lead-in to our next AFB on flickr photoset, we will ask the Giant Magic 8 Ball a few questions:
O Magic 8 Ball, is Kmart the next store we will visit on AFB on flickr?
My reply is no.
O Magic 8 Ball, is Walmart the next store we will visit on AFB on flickr?
Outlook not so good.
O Magic 8 Ball, is Toys R Us the next store we will visit on AFB on flickr?
Signs point to yes.
O Magic 8 Ball, will the viewers of AFB on flickr enjoy this next photoset?
Ask again later.
O Magic 8 Ball, do you think by some miracle someone will save Toys R Us from their impending doom?
Cannot predict now.
O Magic 8 Ball, does AFB possess tonight’s winning Powerball ticket?
Don’t count on it.
O Magic 8 Ball, is AFB the coolest guy on Earth?
Very doubtful.
Thanks for letting me down there at the end Magic 8 Ball! This is why you don’t ask a toy the important questions. Anyway, snarky fortune telling toys aside, coming up next we take a spin around the local Toys R Us as my contribution to the sad end of this storied retailer. Stick around for that beginning on Monday!
Random prop + off-camera-flash experimenting - amplified turns into yet another Harry Potter moment. Impressively, the flash will trigger even when almost entirely blocked by hands, or Magic 8 Ball. I will confess, I've never read a Harry Potter, but I have seen the movies and generally think they're ok even when I hate the directing and the jittery storytelling.

Yesterday's trip to Toys 'R Us was very successful! I picked up quite a few Hello Kitty goodies. This Hello Kitty Luck Ball was my favorite purchase from the day. Not only is its general roundness adorable, but the toy is functional, too! It's supposed to be the HK equivalent of a Magic 8 Ball. If you press her bow, you can see all of the answer options spinning in the little window on the bottom of the ball. They include answers like "No!" and "I love it!" and "I think so" and "Could be." I've been playing with it ever since yesterday. ^u^
I liked how the Luck Ball's pink perfectly matched the pink on Hello Kitty Cavey so I had them pose together. Tee hee.
Oh yeah! At first glace, I thought it was a Hello Kitty Pokeball! Hahaha.
Day 100: 10.4.09
Ah yes not quite the usual suspects for this most heinous of crimes. The brutal slaying of poor Mr Body. Don't let the black suit put you off he was actually quite a pleasant chappy.
But Aha!! A clue in the form of a shoe...well the lack of shoes. Someone in out menagerie of despicable and dangerous dainties shall no doubt be wearing dead mens shoes. We find the shoes and we find our killer....dun dun duuuunnnnn!!!!
Now was it Mr White with the magic 8 ball of doom, I'm sure it saw that coming.
Or perhaps Colonel Mustard lived up to the stereotype and gave him a damn good thrashing to within an inch of his life and then too another two foot....the two foots with shoes on them...aha you see where I'm going with that don't you.
But then again it may have been the quiet and peaceful Professor Plum who remorselessly pummelled him to death with a souvenir truncheon from Spain.
Who else do we have? Ah Mrs..*ahem* I mean Sir Mr of Peacock. Regaled so finely in his Peacock suit and brandishing such a weapon that would cause more pain if it were played. No doubt to drive poor Mr Body to the edge of madness and then he fell and couldn't get up again.
To be honest I think I may shoot past the Reverend Green since all he's got is a gun...a gun come on. All the others were a bit more creative and the good Rev comes to the party with a shooter. Bah it better not be him or I'll be thoroughly disappointed.
And finally Captain Scarlett with a piratey sword and obviously a very large pocket inside his jacket. I'm quite surprised he didn't do himself a mischief carrying that thing around with him all evening. Though he may have found a safe place to keep it in the back of Mr Body.
Now who could it be. Which shifty looking yet rather sharply dressed individual could it be? Make a guess...you're probably right ;o)

Bought this on the year of the dragon in 1988, found it while sorting out my things recently on the year of the dragon 2012!
Wonderfully taken by a 14-year old boy.

1 - a broken toy (I broke the hell out of it.)
2 - the last item of clothing you bought (not-so-white shirt)
3 - partially desaturated (Now: with less blue!)
Before we begin, I'd like you to know how difficult it is to actually break or disassemble a Magic 8 Ball. I watched a video, I didn't follow it exactly - to my peril - and ended up having to spend a lot more time cutting with a Dremel tool.
A Magic 8 Ball is actually a multi-part toy, with the hard, black, opaque plastic housing surrounding an internal, transparent cylinder where the icosahedral (20-sided) die floats in a mixture of blue dye and alcohol. I did not fiddle with this internal cylinder. I just made my own Magic 8 Ball "blood" out of blue dye and alcohol.
As mentioned in the haiku, I learned a lot from Dexter, and did some spatter tests of my own to get this look. I think I did a fairly good job. A large, 2 mil plastic drop sheet completely contained the mess, which I wrapped up and tossed in the trash. Done!
One of our favorite Archie McPhee catalogs!
This catalog is from the period when we really hit our stride. The murky pictures are counterbalanced with long, careful descriptions that sometimes are more like rants or crazy talk. It truly is a guide to having fun.

i am going to be away for about a week...maybe my addiction can wait until my return??? until then...
Immersed in an inky liquid that obscures anything more than two millimeters from the surface of the circular window lies a dodecahedron engraved with a range of answers to yes-or-no questions. Answers such as "ALL SIGNS POINT TO MAYBE," "AS IF!" and "YOU'RE AN IDIOT FOR EVEN ASKING," which are doled out at random, by means of a non-repetitive, mechanical rotation-and-lateral-exciter device, or hand. Oddly enough, this particular magic 8-ball has an 86.6% accuracy rate. It's clearly defective, but that's still twice as good as either my stock broker or my mother. I've decided to call it "Tim."
oh magic 8-Ball... what will i take a photo of tomorrow???
