I wish for some delicious freshly baked bread to eat.

Granted. Unfortunately, this human intestine wished to live INSIDE a piece of freshly baked bread. And this piece was the only one left on the planet.. so... enjoy.

I wish the girl across from me would talk to me. She's really pretty.

Granted. You have a brand new roll of duct tape.... wrapped around every inch of your body. You have to pull it off starting with the hairiest part of your leg.

I wish I had more trendy clothes.

Nobody granted Celia's fat cat wish - so here you go. Your fat cat, after bankrupting you with 3 bags of Iams a day, eats you while you sleep.

You are very accomplished. Mostly because your manager whips you after concerts when you hit a wrong note.

EDIT: Gah! Post deleted! This was in response to a wish to be an accomplished cellist.

For pooka: you have 1,000,000 euros. Of course, they really belong to the head of the French mafia.

I wish to have a copy of Ender's Game..

Wish granted, but it's a copy with the cover removed and you go to ask OSC to sign it and he beats the living cr@p out of you.

I wish I had perfect teeth.

I wish it weren't so seemingly tricky to eat macrobiotic.

You are admitted to a Buddhist monastery, where a skillful chef helps you to balance your yin and yang.

I wish Pooka hadn't forced me to Google on macrobiotic on that last wish.

Granted - however, due to time-space continuum oddities, every point of destruction leads you back to the exact same wish over and over again.

I wish this day would hurry up and be over.

Edited to add (while wailing): I give up!!!! I just don't type fast enough . . .
