This is a very simple and fun game. The first person makes a wish, and each following person finds some way to corrupt the wish and then makes a new wish. For example:

Person 1. I wish I had a dog

Person 2. You have a dog, but it dies the day after you get it

I wish I had a muffin

Person 3: You get a muffin, but you drop it and have to throw it away.

And so on.

Your firt wish to corrupt is this:

I wish I had a new car.

*Mekka-lekka hi mekka hiney ho!*

Suddenly it clicks, you can imitate Donald Duck so well, you use it all the time instead of speaking normally. Unfortunately something in your epiglottis packs in and you lose the ability to speak any other way. Your new found talent has an upside, you find a new career as a decoy during hunting season.

I wish we had world peace.

*spots Brasco's attempt to make a non-corruptable wish - nice try*

We have world peace! It lasts for half an hour on a wet Tuesday in September, and then things return to normal.

I wish there was a way of being at work and at home in bed at the same time.

What luck! Your dream job as the full-time subject of a sleep-study rolls along granting you the ability to earn cash while snoozing away.
Unfortunately, the other subject selected for the study is a Neanderthal of a man named Otto who sheds profuse amounts of body hair in your shared bed and has a sleep disorder that causes him to cuddle with the closest warm-blooded mammal.
After a few days your ability and desire to sleep have magically disappeared and you jury-rig an IV 4-day-old coffee for personal use thereby eliminating your ability to participate in the study. You're fired.

I wish electrolysis wasn't so painful.

The electrolysis becomes painless but not so the jokes the pretty, young Vietnamese electrologist makes about you in Vietnamese to the other pretty women in the beauty salon you frequent. And while you're not a hundred percent positive what they're saying their frequent tittering after a comment is made when the look at one of your oddly placed tufts of hair gives you a fairly good indication.

I wish I had the wit of WC Fields.

You have the wit of WC Feilds but you think you are better than them or him or her.

A completely anonymous donor sends you a lifetime gift subscription. But it is not to Sleuth.
Instead it is a subscription Wikipedia so that you can look up information on such topics as W.C. Fields and Armageddon. Using this free gift you discover worlds of information. Such as the fact that W.C. Fields is in fact a real historical figure and other such valuable tidbits.....

Oh wait....Wikipedia is already free! Never mind. No need to corrupt your wish...it is now granted.

I wish that all of those Martians would become more environmentally conscientious and stop warming their globe.

Everyone becomes exceptionally enviromentally concious. So serious that noone produces high-tech gadgets such as servers and hubs, so you are eventually disconnected, your PC breaks down in a few years and you are left without Sleuth or any other entertainment for that matter.
Surely, ven football balls are too complicated and enviromentally dangerous in production.

I wish my old copy of Arcanum runs smoothly...

Your old copy of Arcanum runs very smoothly on a bespoke system that cost the equivalent of the GDP of Luxemburg to build. Unfortunately you are unable to honour your end of the contract and have to file for insolvency, your old copy of Arcanum is siezed and sold to China.

I wish my wish was corrupted.

Your wish is corrupted. You are so pleased with the resulting confusion that you develop a major obsession with paradoxical concepts and cannot be prevented from talking about Mobius strips and the Pirates of Penzance. Eventaully you lose all contact with reality and can be found wandering the streets making up songs about string theory.

I wish I could stop getting to this thread immediately after Brasco.

You do, but now you've got nothing to do and find yourself spending all your time at a postmodern male nude revue joint called 'Mobius Strips and The Pirates of His Pants'. Eventually you too lose touch with reality, along with most of your smaller currency and can be found throwing up in the ladies' room toilet accusing the larger chunks of being floating signifiers and muttering about g-string theory.

I wish I had me some postmodern pants.
