Granted! It turns out that a surprisingly large number of people had been promising themselves they'd beat the stuffing out of you, however...
I wish I knew if Tante was being sarcastic when she said my eye joke on the previous page was awfully funny.

(Yes, it was. I was sad to kill my post right after it, but it was sacrificed for the greater good. )

Tante, you now view ALL mail as critically important and save each piece in a little shrine of its very own. Your house is full.
I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Kracking Kwanzaa, and a Fabulous Festivus. But mostly Merry Christmas, 'cuz that's what I'm having...

He runs across it at night, and fries you. Also, you have to pay back all the wages from when you were posting, leaving you with no money to pay for an internet connection....or electricity...so you have to stop posting on Hatrack completely.
I wish I was with my family this Christmas.

Wish granted, but a huge fist fight starts out between your uncle and your dad about who should cut the christmas ham. Needless to say that, with those sharp utensils, it get's ugly.
I wish I didn't have to take naps all the time.

Granted, it is now the cleverest post on Hatrack...sadly, the place is now so boring (your's being the high-water mark in cleverness ...) that no-one ever reads your post. Um...except me, I guess.
I wish that dkw's family lived closer.

Granted! They live right next door to you. But their house has a force field that cannot be programmed to let you through. So, no matter how hard you try you cannot get into their house.
I wish that my movie could come out in time for Dick Van Dyke and Gene Wilder to star side-by-side.

Oh, it does a great job of warming your tiny one-room shack. Not that you need too much warming up. All that chopping firewood and hauling water from the well really works up a sweat.
I wish I could manage to post on Hatrack in my sleep.

We thought you had been. Oh well...poof! you get your wish. Everyone notices a remarkable increase in your productivity, and you seem to be making a lot more sense these days too! Your popularity soars, along with your post count. You are lauded by the Cards and Papa Moose as the single greatest contributor to Hatrack.
You sleep through it.
I wish I had finished my Christmas shopping before Christmas.

Granted! You completed all of your Christmas shopping for this Christmas the twenty-sixth of December before the next Christmas. Its all done, but its completed before the wrong Christmas.
I wish that I could make a wish.

Granted! However, by granting your own wish in a tricky sort of way, you've created a new dimension in which you no longer exist. In fact, you never existed, so your post and your wish didn't happen and the new dimension was never created so you now exist, but as nothing but a dream sitting on one of the BFG's shelves which, when released, will allow people to think that they're posting on Hatrack, all because of some mix up in rearranging your particles after the switching and subsequent undoing of the dimensions.

Granted. You do. It just doesn't really matter much, does it..?
I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner. That is what I'd truly like to be 'cause if I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner everyone would be in love with me.

Wish granted! It's not deleted. Just hiding really really well. So well that by the time you find it, you will be a tremendously famous and accomplished author, and you will chuckle at your early efforts. (OK -- it wasn't such a twisted granting of your wish, but I have pity on your situation)
I wish the repairs for my car don't leave me broke.

Granted! However, it becomes such a heated debate that many feelings are hurt, many posters are infuriated, and everyone leaves Hatrack except for a couple of people you don't like very much, and they only start threads you don't care about, and they never post on any of the threads you start again.
I wish everyone I know who's sick right now would get better.

It was. In fact, so good that it is impossible to get a reservation anymore, and you can never get back in.
I wish I had the perfect pair of shoes -- cute, comfortable, stylish, flattering, rain and snow-proof.

You do, and when you were 8 years old they fit you perfectly. Now? Not so much.
I wish I'd gotten accomplished all of the things that were on my list to get accomplished at work today.

As my econ teacher says, "The only things worth doing are worth doing half-assedly. Else, what else can you get done?" Unfortunately, your boss disagrees. However, the beauty in that is that you no longer have things on your to-do list, you lucky thing, you.
I wish the mountain that has invaded my head would leave me in peace.

::Paff:: We all get along wonderfully. A new era of cooperation is ushered in, and the money previously spent on defense is channeled into making Earth into a paradise. The diseases that plague us today are cured, education levels rise, population is kept at a sustainable level, and the damaged parts of the biosphere are restored. Warfare is nothing more than a dimly remembered nightmare, and then not even that.
Or at least not until bellicose aliens arrive on Earth and treat us as we have treated defenseless animals without the sense to fear us when we've discovered them.
I wish that an intelligent, peaceful, benevolent alien race, so much more technologically advanced than we are that any attempts at hostility on our part would be laughably incapable of harming them, would make contact with us.

You can and the answer's the same to every equation... #DIV/0! : )
I wish... I wish... Man. I wish I knew what my wish were and that I had an extra to make it happen...
