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.

You get more wishes but they're all the same wish. That same wish is that you wish for more wishes and then you can never get your wish granted.

I wish that every goal I score in football/soccer would break the net.

So you're playing soccer with your friends in the park, trying to surprise them with your new ability. But when you go to kick the winning goal for your team, it not only breaks the net, it shoots straight into the parking lot and sails through the windows of five or six cars. Alarms blarre, angry people yell, and you're run out of town by an angry mob.


I wish I could be a famous movie star.

Aug-7-2007 12:42

You are a famous movie star, unfortunately that movie star is Ginger Grant so you get to spend an ungodly amount of time on a desert island with a bunch of dimwits!!

I wish The Browns would win the Super Bowl

Aug-8-2007 12:14

They won! Didn;t you hear? Except when they won, they saw you cheering up in the crowd and thought they recognized you as the man who kept rigging the games so that the Miami dolphins would win. The quarterback whips the trophy at you and you end up in the hospital with amnesia.

I wish that thinking of a wish was easier.

Aug-8-2007 14:44

In a flash of inspiration you figure out a new formula for coming up with wishes easily, only to realise, it makes corrupting them easier too.

I wish I knew more about SoM

Aug-15-2007 19:13

And you do. You know more than you ever wanted about SoM - Science of mind that is. In fact, it is all that is ever on your mind. Unfortunately this helps you very little in terms of gaining entry into a business school program. Unwilling to relinquish your desire for material things, nor fully endeared by your new-found knowledge, you are unable to reach a sensible compromise and instead fritter most of your life away in a constant state of indecision.

I wished the hobo wandering the streets outside my apartment would stop singing the same bit of a song at all hours of the day and night.

Aug-16-2007 10:35

He does stop singing the song, but then you get that bit of song stuck in your head and you can't stop sing it.

I wish that everyone on Sleuth was my friend.

Aug-16-2007 12:52

My dear friend your wish is granted! We are so friendly here to you and everyone embraces you as a brother. You now feel cradled in the bosom of Sleuth. In fact you are so closely cradled that you begin to feel suffocated from all our affection and you begin to have panic attacks whenever you see us online, which is all the time.

I wish I knew how to make Phở.

Aug-16-2007 21:30

You do know how to make Phở. but none of us know what the heck it is so you are forced to try and educate us and we bother you incessently with PM's much like Henry Walker bothered everyone else with PM's and made a pest of himself.

I wish I knew what to wish for

Aug-16-2007 21:35

Oh, you'll know what to wish for. In fact...you'll know everything. So much, that we all become jealous and banish you from Sleuth forever.

I wish that I could write good.
