You did...a very good night's sleep, in fact. Unfortunately, it was because you're dead, and a la The Sixth Sense and Ghost, you're now invisible to the world around you. Are people ignoring you today? Now you know why.
I wish my stupid computational analysis class made sense, and/or was taught better.

Granted. Unfortunately, you're now an adult with a full time job, a wife, and three fairly small children. If you're lucky, you're able to devote almost an hour a week to computer gaming.
I wish that the spot of rust I saw on my still relatively new car would prove to just be a smudge of tar or something equally innocuous.

Granted. You discover its only some transmission fluid. Unfortunately, its the last bit of transmission fluid left in the car, and the resulting bill for a new transmission will be in the four figure range.
I wish I had a good steak for lunch.

You did. However, it was made of a particularly hard wood, and you broke most of your teeth trying to bite off a piece. You did manage to gnaw off a piece, but all you got for your efforts was a mouthfull of splinters.
I wish that archaeologists would discover a previously unknown, sealed vault in Egypt that contains perfect, legible copies of all of the works stored in the Great Library at Alexandria.

MPH - Granted. You now get to rough it as often as possible, camping with a few hundred of your friends out in the wilds of Poland's lovely wilderness... in 1942.

Granted! Not only that, but because of your impeccable manners, you are suddenly astoundingly popular. In fact, you become a manners celebrity. You are hounded by the paparazzi, and stalked by crazed female fans, one of whom kidnaps you and locks you in a spare bedroom. Unfortunately, you're too polite to protest or escape, and eventually, she kills you.
I wish someone would cook dinner for me tonight.

(aside) - Kat, was that an allusion to Sweeny Todd? I saw that for the first time the other night and absolutely adored Angela Lansbury. However, her hair did look like a Japanese cartoon, which really threw me off.

(aside)Yes, Annie, it is. It's a mix of greek mythology and Sweeny Todd, unfortunately, so I hope the meaning went across. I have an ex-fiance that decided that showing me Sweeny Todd six days after I'd come home from my mission was a good thing. Don't you love Sondheim, though?

Bob, your body won't stop convulsing! As it does, chocolate is spewing from your pores. Your friends and family find you repulsive, but your dog loves you.
[Edit... I keep forgetting to add a wish!]
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off

Granted, you are a neutron bomb. And you feel dirty, so very dirty. But the fact is that you are a wimpy little home chemistry set version of a neutron bomb. And your neutrons come from an unstable element "wimplium" that basically self destructs whenever anyone looks at it. So, you may get to go off, but you go off by yourself.
I wish I was able to take a peek at the book of life.

You didn't. Never happened. Unfortunately, no body else posted a reply to Bob's most recent wish either, and this thread finally slips off the front page and into oblivion. Congratulations! Because of your selfishness, the best Hatrack game in ages is no more.
I wish my house had better storm windows.

Granted, however, the ddr graze has now passed, and is looked upon as badly as kareoke.
(This one has probably be asked already but I'm too lazy to check) I wish you would not grant this wish.

Granted! Unfortunately, because of some glitch in the creation of Backup Katie, her metabolism is many, many times higher than your own, and she must eat almost constantly to survive. The cost of feeding her far outstrips what she brings in at "your" job, and you have to take a second job in order to support her.
[Edit--curse you Annie! You beat me by a full 8 minutes! That's what I get for taking time out from Hatracking to do my job, I suppose. Hmmm...transcend static cling? Okay!
::POOF!::
Your attractive power is now greater than that of static cling. Unfortunately, it is also greater than your physical strength, and you are unable to pry loose all of the loose articles of clothing that leap onto you as you walk by them. You are quickly smothered under a thick layer of socks.
I wish that I weren't having so much trouble thinking of something new to wish for.

It's Friday.... Friday, February 12, 2043. Coincidentally, you're still invited to Naomi's house. Bring your bridge set and don't forget your dentures! We're having dessert!
I wish we were all a bit better at using the conditional tense.

*granted* however your parolee is a fat slob named Bubba who sits around scratching himself and eating all your M&Ms while complaining that you don't have the right cable TV channels for the Monster Truck Rallies.
