Granted, including Dana. It's pretty hard to build your life together when she won't tell you how she feels about anything... and you kinda miss how she used to tell you she liked you, thought you were handsome, and loved the poofy-sleeved shirt.

I wish the coffee shop was open on Saturdays.

Granted, but everyone bottling their emotions inside causes everyone to reach their breaking point and blow up and kill all of their friends and family. Nice one. [Roll Eyes]

Eljay, Granted: but...YOU FORGET TO BREATHE!!!

I wish my MST3K DVD set would arrive today.

It does. It's broken. And out of print so you can't replace it except at great cost from sources like avid collectors. So sorry.

I wish I could both pack and go out with friends today.

Your friends decide to pack you.

I wish I was a little bit taller I wi...Oh...That's a song...

I wish I didn't have that song in my head now.

You don't. The song is now playing on every television and radio in your home, twenty-four hours a day, in whatever home you live in, for the rest of your life.

I wish that this cold would go away.

You do. However, the island WAS tropicl ONCE, and is now Antarctica.

I wish someone would correct all these math papers.

Someone does! But he or she marks ever fifth correct answer wrong just for the heck of it, and angry parents overwhelm your voicemail with complaints.

I wish that the trick-or-treaters would all choose the 3 Musketeer and Reeses Fast Break bars from the variety packs and leave the other kinds for me.

They do! But they also leave gross little worms that burrow into the Snickers bars.

I really wish that I could find a babysitter for Tuesday night!

[ROFL] My mother would hate it if the snickers were all gone. She used to steal em from me an' my sis after trick or treating.

*Shows up for babysitting gig. Commences to eat all food in house while Elizabeth is gone. [Evil Laugh] *

I wish I really was good looking.

I wish I had a costume for trick or treat.

Granted. The two of you can hand out playing cards better than anyone else, and you soon work in a casino, dealing cards for the rest of your lives.

I wish I could see better. Without harming any of my other senses. Or body parts. Or harming anyone or anything else.

You briefly visit the moon, with no spacesuit on, and within moments you have massive hemorrhaging, your blood starts to boil, and then you freeze solid.

I wish for all nuclear weapons to be harmlessly destroyed, and then all plans and knowledge of their existance removed as well.

Granted, our knowledge of physics is thrown back a thousand years and we all live in a brutal theocracy that punishes any attempt to study the natural world independently.

I wish we could end this Daylight Savings Time stuff and stay one way or the other year round.

She is! In fact, she has no choice, rotting as she is in a Tel Aviv jail, doing the time for a crime of which she is innocent.

I wish that whoever wins the election on Tuesday would do so by a wide enough margin that there was no question that they were the legally elected president of the United States.

There are! The Earth collides with a massive asteroid--more of a rogue moon, really, which clips it at such an angle that, in addition to destroying all terrestrial life, it also slows down the Earth's rotation, resulting in a 32 hour day.

I wish that the next time I went to a social event, I would meet a person I really clicked with, and that we'd become good friends.

Granted: You are placed in an insane asylum and given your own padded room. It even has a little window. Nice jacket.

I wish I had a fairly extensive wet bar at the house.

Ray Charles is alive. Unfortunately, what you didn't know was the he despises you, and before his death had been plotting your murder. His death had been the only thing that saved your life. Nice knowing you!

I wish that the players and DM of the Overlook campaign had spent the weekend in a frenzy of Overlook centered role playing activity, and that today Mike would post the turns over on Sakeriver.

Mike posts the turns. In a suprise move, the DM and the players agreed to change the campaign from a vibrant, fantastic, magical setting to the 'World of Garfield and Odie.' You go insane after reading the first four posts.

I wish that I could function on only 4 hours of sleep.

You now get to pick between Bob_Scopatz and TomDavidson. Depending on who wins, either Christy or Dana get very mad at you for screwing up their life.

I wish y'all would help me bump all the games and fluff threads to the top, knocking down the election coverage for awhile.
