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.

Okay, back to the thread....

I wish I could suck your brains out and throw them out the window into the toilet across the a street at my will.

(I also wish you would guess how many prepositional phrases that were in that sentence! ;-) )

Nov-26-2008 22:38

I'm guessin' four preps, Ace. As for the other wish, good luck. Still haven't gotten an answer for the hubby's Thanksgiving kitchen duties yet. ;-)

Dave, you don't have to cook Thanksgiving dinner this year. Instead you will be going out for a meal. Luckily for you, there are several restaurants open for the Holiday and you end up going to McDonalds. It's not all bad though, you are able to supersize that Big Mac combo meal! Bone apetit!

I wish the days of vaudeville would return

ctown28 I do not understand your query. What is vaudeville please? If you tell me vaudeville I will play this game.

Also please what is Big Mac?

Thank you.

The days of vaudeville are back! Sadly you are unable to leave the vaudeville theatre and must spend the rest of your life watching fake Irishmen doing patter routines, and Bonzo the Talking Dog.

I wish I could be a space tourist.

You are as cool as SS, but someone thinks you are too cool and kills you.

[you never mentioned that we couldn't make a wish that couldn't be corrupted]

I wish I was so good at baseball (because I am a HUGE fan of baseball) that I make the team and, with the help of the team of course, we all get rich and I give half of any of my paychecks to charity. [how's that?]

Dec-6-2008 00:52

You are a talented baseball player. Unfortunately you have absolutely no endearing qualities, so no friends. And you spend the the other half of your paychecks on adult toys.

I wish for an endless bounty of incorruptable wishes.

Dec-6-2008 01:02

Oh wait, I can't do that. Damn

I wish...that the planet wasn't so over populated.

Dec-6-2008 15:26

Dunno where you and Golduck have been, but you're a bit off course here. But, in the spirit of fair play....

*KAZAAM*
Planet Earth now has a population of...One. That's right, Vous. And only, Vous. You spend the first week of your new life celebrating in your solitary splendor. Then, you suddenly start realizing, it's just a little bit lonely round here. No friends, no enemies. Hell, no pizza delivery guys when you need them. You decide to set out on a trek to look for another human being. ANY person will do. And spend the next fifteen years searching without success. Over those fifteen loooooooooong years, you gradually go more and more barmy, talking to yourself, creating imaginary friends, and finding couches to have psychiatric sessions on to combat your feelings of isolation and alienation. Too bad they don't work....

Now, Miss Cordelia, strap yerself in tight. No, I mean TIGHT. That Space Shuttle yer on packs a helluva wallop on takeoff. All set? Okay, here we go!!

Countdown!!

And BLASTOFF!!!

Whew, those rockets do glare red, don't they?? ;-)
Anyway, you get into outer orbit safely. Now, it's time to meet your fellow space tourists, err, crewmates!! Please say hallo to: Why, it's CRUNCHPATTY!! (Who'da thunk that one? ;-) And for our second bedlamite....say g'day to...BECKY!! (Yeah, I know, I'm truly evil. ;-D )

So, you three survivors of the cosmonaut kind land at the International Space Station for three lovely, fun-filled months of frivolity, hair-pulling, and other general all-around torture. Just think of all the catfights you three can get into in three months!! (Kinda makes shudders run down the spine, doesn't it? ;-) Just think, you coulda chosen Tahiti. Y'all have fun now!! Dosvidanya!! ;-D

And for me, I wish it snows in San Francisco for Christmas!! ;-D

You get snow in San Francisco for Christmas.
- unfortunately you get about 2 meeters with snow, 1 week before Christmas, and in synch with this you get a cold period that's said to last a month.
- unfortunately San Fransisco is not prepared on this, so there is no tools to move the snow away from the streets, so no cars can go anywhere. All preparations for Christmas get stalled, because it's impossible to move outdoors, and those few who do so are desperately trying to move enough snow away from the windows, so that they will be able to breathe.
At the beginning of Christmas everyone sits in their prison home and dreams about how nice it was with a warm no-snowy winter.

I wish that all people would be friends, kind and generous with each other.
