May 18, 2008: Magic 8-balls
I’m very displeased when a Magic 8-Ball says “cannot predict now” or “ask again later” or some other similar horseshit. What could a plastic die floating in blue slime possibly be doing that it’s too busy to answer my question? Maybe these snide non-committal messages are meant to be some sort of a joke, but in practice the only logical response to them is to immediately just reshake the ball. Why are you wasting my time in this fashion? The equivalent to this would be if in every Tarot deck there was a card that said, “Sorry, we can’t really figure out your fortune this hand. Fuck you, reshuffle the deck.” Magic 8-Ball manufacturers should just create a fewer-sided fortune die and throw the neutral messages in the garbage, because that would really save me a lot of time late at night when I’m trying to determine whether a girl likes me. And there’s nothing “magical” about dicking people around.

WOW! I totally agree… but then again, does the magic work if you instantly re-shake it and it said “ask again later”? Technically, it IS later, but it makes it sound like MUCH later. Damn, they need an instructions manual for these things!

It means you’re querying the ball just as the threads of fate happen to be obscured by the mists of time. For the magic eightball to hazard a prediction at such a moment — well that would be just reckless! In refusing to predict, it’s actually exercising great prudence.

Answer 1: It’s a secret.
Answer 2: Yours not to reason why, yours but to…
Answer 3. Whatever the hell it wants to. That’s why it’s a plastic die floating in blue slime, and you are not.
My question to you is: How is it that, until a few minutes ago, I’d never even heard of your wonderful, thought provoking site? ;-D
U have been Blogrolled. ;-D

The fans, consuming all in their quest for amusing witticisms, rampaged on a relentless path of hunger and despair. They devoured their fellow human beings, stopping only to admire their handiwork, and prowled the darkened streets in an attempt to satiate their needs. The world began to crumble under the weight of their desire, the human race as we know it bowing before the might of its intensity. Something had to be done. One man could save them all. One man could restore peace to the world now enveloped by flames. One man could twist their splintered hearts back into a tangible shape. It was time to summon him. It was time to act…

On a side note, I hope Eric really isn’t dead. I enjoy the wit and humour in his wacky little rant blog more than pretty much any other site I’ve ever been to. Maddox who?

You need to remember, as immortal and powerful as his humour is, he is but a man… and all men deserve their privacy. Leave him alone. On his facebook anyway. Feel free to leave ten million more “PLEASE COME BACK!” comments on this site, though. Maybe, ONE DAY, he will listen.

Better he retire at the top of his game than slowly fade to the point where he’s hosting telethons on a cable access station somewhere.
That said, please come back and write something this instant, E-Karj.

So not trying to get peoples hopes up…. but i am erik karjala…. not the eric karjala that all of you guys know and love.
it is a sad sad sad time right now without eric posting new blogs.
maybe one day he will return for the great beyond with a new and unbelievably amazing story to tell all of us. with words of wisdom and laughter and a hint of sarcasm. oh yes the story will be glorious,but let us all hope that it will be soon, because without the great eric karjala here to entertain us with his hilarious antics we will one day die from not knowing what happened to him.

Rigen: is he coming back? Is this “hibernation” like bears do, or like dead people do?
