Ask a Yes or No question You will
One of my few prized possessions is my talking Yoda. He is designed so that when his hand is squeezed he greets you with the sentence in my title. Then he acts like a magic 8 ball, only Yoda style.
“Will anyone ever read this blog?”
Yoda: ”Simple question you ask, no I answer”
Yoda is a cruel toy. When I first saw him in the store I threw a fit. I grabbed him and ran to show my wife. She rolled her eyes and acted as if I was a complete moron.
“Will I get one of these for Christmas?”
Yoda: “Simple question you ask, yes I answer.”
Guess what? My wife had spotted it a couple of weeks earlier and it was already hidden in the house, but I wouldn’t find out for a couple of months. It may seem simple, but I really love my talking Yoda. My wife hates him. Especially when I start trying to imitate his speech. The mere sound of his voice makes my dogs bark. They really go crazy when they see the little green monster and hear him. Some animals have no taste.
“Will anyone understand my obsession with this toy?”
Yoda: “Clearing your mind are you or another question you wish to ask?”
Okay, sometimes Yoda is a bit weird, but as far as I can remember, the old Magic 8 Balls weren’t much better.
His permanent place is in the computer desk, next to the monitor. This way he stays hidden till I need him and the dogs don’t go crazy for no reason. ”Should I end this entry now?”
Yoda: “The answer you seek is no.”
Okay, then I guess I should end this by telling everyone that there apparently a new talking Yoda that speaks over 500 different phrases. I haven’t asked yet, but maybe I should.
“Will I get a new Yoda for Christmas?”
Yoda: “The answer you seek is yes.”
Yoda is so cool.
