Granted. It's turned back on but no one's checking to make sure that the sewer and water lines are kept seperate.

I wish that Tom Davidson was as silly as Carrot-top.

Granted, but its German, which means we all spread horrible diseases while spitting angrilly at each other.

I wish I were a rich man.

Your wish is granted, because the true temperature of hell as proved by that urban legend thermodynamics essay e-mail is absolute zero. You are just above at 1 Kelvin, my friend. It's warmer on Pluto.

I wish our house was already remodeled.

Granted. Your house is filled with the common protein substitute... insects. Your shelves are filled with grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets. Your fridge is filled with beetle larvae, and your table is covered in termites.

Kat: Granted. Your laptop, unfortunately, comes with the newest kind of battery which turns out to leak battery acid all over you.

I wish I were a skilled acrobat.

Dabbler: you're the most amazing acrobat the professional world has ever seen. unfortunately, your partner is not and drops you during a very simple move. The safety equipment guys aren't quite world-class either, and you plummet to the floor hundreds of feet below, breaking your neck.

I wish I had a free pedicure.

You get a free pedicure. The foot massage they give you, however, is $500,000. You will be paying it off for a long time. You might as well forget about that mission of yours.

I wish that my children never had to deal with other children being cruel to them.

Granted. Too bad it was at a place that doesn't sterilize their equipment, so you get a horrible infection that requires you to have all your toes amputated.

[curse you mph *shakes fist*]

Granted. Your children, however, do not thrill to the idea of being chained in their rooms for the duration of their lives.

I wish I had a corvette.

Granted. You have a corvette, and no keys. And no registration letters, so the key people won't believe it's yours.

I wish I had as many kinder eggs as I wanted.

::poof:: you now own a corvette. However, due to the landlocked nature of the Phoenix area, there is nothing you can really do with your little warship, and no submarines for it to engage in combat. Also, the police want to know if you've got a liscense for that thing.

[Edit--curse you Sun! You beat me to the punch. Well, let's see...

You now have as many kinder eggs as you'd like. Unfortunately, you choke on the little plastic interior egg while eating your first one.]

I wish that I were fluent in Nahuatl.

Granted. You have now spent 10 years of your life playing the guitar and are no better at it than if you'd just started playing 10 minutes ago.

I wish my new house was free.

Granted, and as a major talent your dripping lake picture now graces the big windows at Media Play.

Ludosti: Granted, but it is made of straw

The water is back on, by the way.

I wish I had a robot that washes dishes.

Granted. As it turns out, though, your skill in guitar playing, moments before you made this wish, had just plateaued. You're no better at the guitar now than you were nine years ago.

I wish that I had a bowl of grapenuts. I've been craving them ever since pooka mentioned them in the fibre thread.

::paff:: Turgan is transformed into a sea sponge. Given that they don't have mouthes per se, he no longer has a mouth in which to have a bad taste.

I wish that I hadn't tried to manually remove that spyware from my home computer the other day (ever since I did so, I haven't been able to get online at home).

Magically, the spyware is back on your system and you can connect to the internet no problem. Unfortunately, all you can do is go to spyware sites that keep loading, and loading, and loading.

I wish for a plane ticket to Manchester New Hampshire on October 28, 2004, without any harm befalling me or the plane or Jamie. Also, without having to meet anyone that will change/negatively effect my life. Also, the plane is to arrive on the same day it flies out.

Okay. But the in-flight movie is Catwoman, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Better sharpen your nails so you can gouge your eyes out more efficiently.

It is! But now you're sharing your house with five families and sleeping in communal housing because people live to be 150 or so. You have no privacy at all, and your income goes into a communal fund which pays for your household's needs. Oh, and no one cleans the bathroom. Ever.

I wish I felt it was ok to skip class and just go home.

You feel that it's fine to skip class and just go home. And so you do. Unfortunately you were wrong in feeling that way--your teacher gave a pop test today that is weighted so heavily that your having missed it will inevitably result in your flunking the class.

I wish the the spot on the back of my heel didn't feel oddly numb and painful.
