A few steps past the strange pet-stuff Hobbes seems to have started selling, on the second shelf with his date ball cousins, there he rested: an old box faded by the countless hands of the curious. He was the last of his ebony brothers here, seemingly awaiting my purchase all along. I took that as a sign and promptly got my receipt.
Mr. 8-ball is open for business, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week (and yeah, we don't have locks installed). He's very much able to predict possibilities and very much willing to make ya' flinch at the future.
The little bastard doesn't seem to like me much though. Once while discussing better code implementation with a colleague, I sought Mr. High-and-Mighty-8-Ball for affirmation: "Ganun nga yun! Tara, let's ask the magic 8 ball."
He bit the hands that fed (read: bought) him and swirled up his answer: "Outlook not so good."
Waw. Attitude problem and awkward phrasing. If he doesn't turn a new leaf soon, I predict myself writing about Mr. Tragic-8-Ball. All signs point to yes!
Without a doubt.
