P.S. How cool of a name is "Jay Walker", btw? I just now saw the humor in it.

Erg. So I did .... so I did.

Oh .... I didn't even get the "Jay Walker" thing until you mentioned it. That is rather funny. I just keep looking at those photos, and wondering how many people he has to employ just to dust all that stuff. And .... where do I sign up to get a personal tour???

I wish Jay Walker was a close personal friend of mine.

Granted. You are his best friend, i.e. the one who dusts his stuff.

I wish I could go to Venice tomorrow, like I did today, instead of having to work

You know, I'd settle for that!

Granted. And best of all, you get a personal escort from the Italian police, so they can have you explain exactly how you managed to completely submerge their city, and they can explain how long you will be in their custody until you pay for the damages.

I wish I knew how I was going to make a big impression with my e-books at Worldcom '09.

Granted. You show them those photos of you from the D.C. Meet-up and they see just how big you are.

Foul! 15 yard penalty! Replay!

Maybe I should rephrase:

I wish I knew how I was going to make myself a famous and successful author at my visit to Worldcom '09.

Patricia · 10-12-2008, 10:07 PM

Granted. You know how to make yourself a famous and successful author, but lose the will to act on the knowledge.

I wish that Steve's wish is not subverted.

Granted, it isn't, but as a result, you are plagued by a horde of pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent, meta-evil, time-travelling, dark jedi, pirate ninja squirrels who decide to take up residence in your kitchen.

I wish I could get my double amount of current pay for doing less than half the work.

Granted: you get a job with the Marketing Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, and you know what comes next. Vive la Révolution!

I wish I didn't have to go upstairs to get myself a soft drink.

Granted, instead you have to go downstairs to get yourself a soft drink

I wish I didn't have a PoS car that is in the workshop AGAIN, and most likely will end up costing me a shitload of money, AGAIN!

Granted. It's now a PoS truck.

I wish that no more wishes were corrupted by simply granting them without corruption and then throwing pan-yada-yada squirrels at them afterward (including all of their familiars, i.e. lemurs, llamas, jackelopes, taun-tauns, luncheon-meats, fruit-bats, breakfast cereals, etc).

I know, I used the squirrels once, too... but as part of the actual wish's corruption, not as an afterthought! C'mon, genies... be creative!

Granted, all the species you listed above cease to exist, causing the Earths eco-system to go haywire which will make the human race go extiinct in about 50 years. Thanks a lot dude!

I wish we could at least keep the pandas?

Taun-tauns, jackelopes and luncheon meats are now extinct?

You're a creative genie indeed...

Yes... now go away or I will taunt you a second time ...

Granted: Pandas stick around, due to their unexpected affinity for eating electrical wiring. (Must have been the pandorg exposure). Within 18 months, Mankind has lost all power and communications capabilities thanks to a complete lack of wiring worldwide. But whut the heck... we'll all be gone in another 48-1/2 years anyway...

I wish all food was healthy (and that I would NOT go on an uncontrollable eating binge upon the realization of that fact).
