Just about as fun as a real 8-ball, which is to say while I’ve always wanted one they really aren’t that fun. Also, considering I’m a born cheater (in other words: never play a game with Lauren), that people like me end up shaking the 8-ball until they get the answers they want.
Me! Me me me!
Some of this made me totally laugh (how will I be remembered, how does the world see me, and what do I think my theme song is, in particular). Others, reply was hazy.
The cool thing is, I really WOULD like it if “Carey” was played at my funeral!
