I've often daydreamed and wondered what I would wish for if given the chance. I recently caught an X-files episode in Season 7 that touched on this topic very nicely. But I have to admit, I would be fascinated, (much more so most likely), with the wish-giver than the wish-giver would be with me, and I would feel compelled to just hang-out with my genie-type personality as long as possible without wishing for anything.

But if possible, wish number one would be for:

The Remote Control Of All Time (no batteries required). This would work similar to the watches in the movie Clockstoppers

After that, I would need A LONG TIME to think up two more...

Most of my dearest wishes would probably involve messing with someone's free will. But in terms of regular stuff, I'd wish for some cool renovations to my house, a diesel powered european wagon of some kind, and...a turn on "Who wants to be a Millionaire".

No...I already have that power, why would I wish for it?

Yeah, but they could be the Eternal Slimming Spandex Body Suits of Power, and you could be lithe and as powerful as Superman...

If it's possible I would wish for infinite more wishes and/or all the powers he has with none of the restrictions.

I'd wish I could fly, I wish I there was no intolerance, I wish I had an IQ of 300 and able to live with it...Then again, these are wishes, not miracles...

You need to be more specific Teshi...cause, I mean...we all can travel through time. Just only in one direction and speed, hehe.

Telepathy. But controlled. Oh, and the power to "push" that Charlie's father had in Firestarter.

Edit: Which I think that was what pooka was saying.

To have the most perfect day which lasted forever, until I choose to have it end. For it to be perfect I get to choose what I want to do, out of everything, with anybody, anywhere, anywhen.

That would pretty much cover it, I think.

Oooooooooh!

But, knowing me, I'd probably end up like Barclay or something.

The male cast of Troy. Johnny Depp. Mick Jagger.

Only three?

Seriously, I'd like to be able to go back in time and change just my life, so as to not irresponsibly ruin the whole world like in Bradbury's "The Sound of Thunder". I'd like to be able to cure all ills. And I'd like...World Peace.

If I had the body where I could wear spandex in public, I would think I was a superhero.

I do feel it is worth mentioning that Orlando Bloom is on the cover of Premiere magazine, donning Troy gear. Yum.

A neverending supply of opioids.
That I was benevolent dictator of the world, and good at it.
That I could train a successor who would be just as competent, including at training his own.

I wish I could:
Fly
Time travel
And the third is a tough choice...lots of money I guess. You could do a lot with that. [Big Grin]
