Move Balls With Your Mind
by
It’s not often that I get a toy tip from my father, but here it is anyway. There’s a toy that’s being marketed as a Force trainer because it allows kids the chance to move a ball with the power of their mind. In reality the ball moves with the power of science and not so much with the Force, but the creators of this thing did the smart thing realizing they’d sell a billion more “Force trainers” than they would “thing that moves a ball up and down.” Way to go marketing geniuses.
Anyway, I could see myself thinking this was cool for about thirty seconds before needing something more stimulating to keep me occupied, but kids should really eat something like this up. After all, kids are pretty dumb.

I don’t need a “Force Trainer”, I can move my balls on my own already

Man hook me up to that thing when I’m trying to evict a righteous dookie and I’ll turn it into a potato gun.

I remember when I was in the hospital there was a machine that measured my oxygen level and I could manipulate it by holding my breath or breathing rapidly (same basic principle with the force thingy), it might have been all the painkillers or the needle in my brain (true story!) but I had a blast with it. Of course there wasn’t a whole lot to do in that overcrowded dirty hospital. worst Halloween ever.

to add to my previous post, if you are ever in a situation where someone is going to pull a rather large needle out of your brain, beg to be sedated. I learned this from experience.
