Magic Eight Ball answers your yes or no questions

It’s the fourth Thursday of the month, so what better time to whip out my Magic Eight Ball and ask it a few “yes or no” questions.

This month’s set of questions came to me via e-mail and Facebook. Below you’ll find the unedited questions and answers to the questions that I asked my Magic Eight Ball on Monday.

Raymond asked: Will the City of Evergreen actually get to hold its municipal elections on Aug. 28?
Answer: No way!

Dewayne asked: Will Pete Wolff win without a runoff?
Answer: Ask again later?

George asked: Will there be a big lawsuit over the outcome of the election like there was last time?
Answer: Maybe.

Michael asked: Will the lawyers involved be the only people to come out ahead when it’s all said and done?
Answer: My sources said no.

Willie asked: Will Evergreen’s incoming Bubba’s Barbecue restaurant be the best barbecue restaurant around?
Answer: Absolutely!

Pat asked: Will Castleberry’s new police chief be still employed by the town a year from now?
Answer: Ask again later.

Kevin asked: Will the Conecuh County Commission, the City of Evergreen and the Conecuh County Sheriff come to an agreement over the municipal inmate contract?
Answer: Maybe.

John asked: Will the Conecuh County Commission restructure the County E911 board of directors?
Answer: Absolutely!

Jerry asked: Will Sparta’s football team win its season opener against Pickens Academy?
Answer: My sources say no.

Stewart asked: Will Hillcrest win its first game against Washington County?
Answer: No way!

Charles asked: Will A.J. McCarron suffer from the “Sports Illustrated Curse” since he was on the cover of SI this week?
Answer: Absolutely!

I asked: Should readers take the above questions and answers seriously?
Answer: Maybe.

With that said, I guess I’ll give my old Eight Ball a rest for a few weeks and close this thing out until the third Thursday in August.

In the meantime, if you’ve got a question you want me to ask my Magic Eight Ball, e-mail it to me at courantsports@earthlink.net, and I’ll publish the answers in the Aug. 16 edition of The Courant.
