Platypus' Prediction Game

**Guts3d** · July 9th, 2012, 06:56 PM

False, although today I had a machine ( Another Windows 98! ) that the owners' cat had sprayed out of the blue, and it shorted out the power supply. I held my nose, replaced the power supply, and washed copiously for an hour.

I predict that the next poster is using a wireless mouse.

**Niclo Iste** · July 9th, 2012, 09:24 PM

False,

I dislike many wireless devices unless they come with a cord that can charge them while they are in use.

I predict the next poster doesn't like gambling

False. I like gambling. You can sit in front of the cheap slots in Vegas and drink free. On my last trip, I took 2 days to lose $20 and didn't buy a drink the entire time. The waitresses were so nice. Whenever I fell off the stool, they helped me up again. Meanwhile, a couple of my relatives dropped so much money at the casino, that the hotel gave us all upgraded rooms and comped us meals, massages, and all sorts of stuff so they would stay at their casino and lose more. What's not to like?

I predict the next poster has never competed in a cow chip throwing contest.

Sorry to say, I have never even seen a cow chip. Don't send any my way, either! There are definite benefits to being a city boy.

I predict the next poster will notice a flaw with Guts3d's post.

**slgrieb** · January 22nd, 2013, 05:29 PM

Correct! He meant to say "I predict the next poster was really disappointed in The Hobbit." I predict the next poster really wants to see a sequel to The Avengers.

**Guts3d** · January 23rd, 2013, 10:35 AM

Yes! And the vaunted Justice League movie as well. Sorry about the forgotten prediction thing...

I predict that the next person to post will have a toothache or need a dental visit soon.

**slgrieb** · January 23rd, 2013, 11:25 PM

True! If you stretch the point a bit. Younger Child is in braces, and she needs to have a broken wire replaced. Fortunately, that's included in the $7200 that the dental surgery and orthodontics are already costing us, so, no worries.

I predict the next poster has no plans to purchase a 3D TV this year.

**Niclo Iste** · January 24th, 2013, 09:19 PM

True,

As the character Kenny Powers put it. "I don't want to look like a re****ed Ray Charles when watching my TV"

I predict the next poster still has their Christmas Tree up.

**slgrieb** · January 25th, 2013, 06:45 PM

True! Our kitten enjoys the tree, and we enjoy watching her too much to take it down. I predict the next poster is confused about having to pay more for products that lack ingredients as opposed to products that contain them. Why should Balderdash Natural Apple sauce with apples, water, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) cost like 25% more than Balderdash Standard with apples, high fructose corn syrup, water and ascorbic acid?

**Guts3d** · January 28th, 2013, 04:35 AM

True! I guess they know people will pay through the nose to get healthy.

I predict that the next poster likes sunflower seeds as a snack.

**slgrieb** · January 28th, 2013, 07:55 PM

Indeed! But only shelled and unsalted. I predict the next poster considers Tabasco Sauce a mild condiment added for flavor.

**Niclo Iste** · January 29th, 2013, 11:49 AM

I suspect the volume used also relates to how mild it is. I certainly won't drink it in place of an iced tea, however I do have to add large amounts of it to my soup or burritos in order to get the flavor I want. So I'm going with TRUE.

I predict the next poster hasn't shaved in over 3 weeks.

I don't get a 5 o'clock shade, I get a noon beard. Three weeks without shaving would make me look like a caveman. So as false as it gets.
I predict the next poster needs glasses.
