Topic: Corrupt My Wish

[Blair]

I've played this on a few other boards, and it seems generally more fun when you have a lot more members, but who knows, we might get a kick out of it here for a little while.


The purpose of this "game" is to wish for something. The next person will grant your wish but like a twisted genie will corrupt the wish so that you aren't getting what you expected.

For example:

"I wish for a million dollars."
"Your wish is granted, but it's a million dollars in Monopoly money."

"I wish for an end to world hunger."
"Wish granted. The Earth gets completely destroyed, now there is no one left to go hungry."


Got it?

Ok, I'll start:

I wish I could fly under my own power.

[Kathy]

"I wish I could fly under my own power."
Your wish is granted - contact your local pharmacist.

I wish everyone were vegetarians.

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

I wish everyone were vegetarians.

Wish is granted, but since "Everyone" means every single life-form, this means that supplies only last for 3 days.


I wish people would finally learn how to live together peacefully.

I wish people would finally learn how to live together peacefully.

Your wish has been granted. Textbooks are being handed out to everyone now. Unfortunately, most of them will forget the subject matter once school is out in a few weeks.


I wish that I could get rid of this stupid headache!

[DJ Doena]

I wish that I could get rid of this stupid headache!

Your wish is granted. But now you don't feel anything anymore.


I wish I could eat what I want without getting fat.

[Blair]

I wish I could eat what I want without getting fat.

Wish granted. Unfortunately, though, you are now addicted to weight-loss drogs on top of being bulimic.


I wish that the Earth had a second moon under different rotation.

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

I wish that the Earth had a second moon under different rotation.

Your wish was granted, sadly this "different rotation" means Collision Course

I wish the weather would be better.

[Blair]

I wish the weather would be better.

Your wish is granted, but the weather only improved in Antarctica.

I wish that it would snow here for a change.

[Rogmeister]

I wish that it would snow here for a change.

Your wish is granted...your hometown will now receive 2 feet of snow.

I wish my baseball team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, would have a winning season for a change!

[Kathy]

I wish my baseball team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, would have a winning season for a change!

Your wish is granted but the winning season makes the owner decide mid season to sell the team to Buffalo. They continue their winning ways, nabbing the wild card spot and end up winning the World Series as the Buffalo Pirates.

I wish invelos would step in and answer every question that the community asks.

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

I wish invelos would step in and answer every question that the community asks.

Your wish is granted, sadly this doesn't help at all, since the usual suspects choose to ignore these clarifications.


While we're on it: Some more common sense among the Invelos users would be fine.

Your wish is granted, sadly this doesn't help at all, since the usual suspects choose to ignore these clarifications.

And your wish is...?

Perfect example.

[Danae Cassandra]

While we're on it: Some more common sense among the Invelos users would be fine.

Your wish is granted.  Sadly, the common sense chosen is the common sense of Bizarro World.

I wish all my chores were done.

[Blair]

I wish all my chores were done.

Your wish is granted. They were done, but then someone came along and messed things up worse giving you the same chores plus more to deal with.


I wish I was taller.
