mc5 - Ruin a Wish

Genies are known for their trickery in which they will technically grant a wish but then there are consequences to that wish being granted. A classic example is that somebody will wish for a million dollars, but then we find out the million dollars is stolen from banks.

So, let's take a turn at being those tricky genies, in a way - because we have the internet and imagination (yeah, the wishes, consquences and conditions can get VERY SILLY)!

The beginning poster posts a wish. The person that posts under it grants the wish, but they put in the part that isn't wanted. That person then also puts their own wish and the game continues.

It might look something like this.

Pen:

I wish I had a million dollars.

Simons Mith:

Granted, but the million dollars is stolen from banks.

I wish I never had to pay another utility bill.

Rak:

Granted, but now you live on a boat with pirates.

I wish I had eyes in the back of my head.

And on it goes . . .

So, I'll start with my wish. I wish that I would never get too cold, no matter the temperature.

Superman

In your new role as a fungus, any Mars product is fair game, get on in there my lad!

I wish that male pattern baldness were indicative of the possession of a super-power.

Rosie

Do you really wish to live in a society where the most influential person is Sajid Javid?

I wish I'd married that bird.

Pablo

And here is your new bride - a Norwegian Blue.

I wish to live perpetually at the age of 40

Rosie

You've nailed to its perch, y'bugga.

Assuming you are now 40 you can do that by travelling permanently at the speed of light. We'll miss you - don't do it.

I would like 30-hour day, as befits the more natural human rhythm.

The slowing of the Earth's rotation causes earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, and floods worldwide. Ocean currents that international shipping and stable weather depend on become chaotic, with scientists estimating that they might settle down in a hundred years. Geosynchronous comsats, clocks, timetables, and timezones must all be replaced. Wouldn't it have been simpler to just take some melatonin now and then?

I wish I could leap tall buildings with a single bound.
