it's the revival of the corrupt wish game (II) - Page 15

They do. Tomorrow morning, Al-Qaeda steals large quantities of the anitmatter and destroy every city on the world that refuses to join their global Caliphate.

I wish for a space ship with FTL capabilities.

self biased · January 10, 2004, 03:32

granted. the ship goes faster than light, but the contents stay right where they are.

i wish i could make up my mind between the thunderhawk gunship and the warhound titan.

Mr. Harley · January 10, 2004, 10:30

You can. You have to. You find yourself suddenly in the future, and the choice means life or death. You choose wrong.

I wish my stomach felt better (case of food poisoning).

Theben · January 10, 2004, 10:37

It does, but that's because the toxins have destroyed your pain receptors in/around your stomach. You've got about 2 hours of life left. Use them wisely!

I wish that that damn Dora the Explorer never sang a single song.

Mr. Harley · January 10, 2004, 16:46

She loses her voice. Millions of enraged children track you down, and you pummeled to death with a million little stuffed Dora dolls.

I wish I had a borogove (I feel mimsy

).

Mr. Harley · January 11, 2004, 11:27

Twas brillig and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Doesn't anybody read dead white males?

Drogue · January 11, 2004, 21:15

Nope

Mr. Harley · January 12, 2004, 14:08

Drogue, he's one was of countrymen! Famous also, and his work has made it to the big screen a bunch of times. It's easy to track down.

Mr. Harley · January 13, 2004, 04:21

Okay, I surrender. Verse the second.

'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'

I was obviously in uffish thought. (all you had to due was google the words, I made sure when I post it

)

granted. you do, but it's not what you think it is. in fact, nobody knows what it is.

i wish people would wish, and not get too wrapped up in x-posts.

Mr. Harley · January 16, 2004, 03:01

They do, but somebody makes an even more esoteric and confusing with than I did, and the thread dies.

(from my wife - she's been following this and laughed at a few). I wish I knew when our daughter was going to have a poopy, reliably, soon enough that I could do something about it.

self biased · January 16, 2004, 04:38

granted. you know know when she will have a poopy, relaibly, and soon enough to do something about it. but one of two things will inevitably happen: either you will be on the can yourself, or she will have a poopy so large, the term "metric assload" would be applicable.

i wish someone else besides shawnmmcc would corrupt my wishes.

Mr. Harley · January 17, 2004, 01:49

They do, because I stop posting. However, it causes the thread to sink into obscurity, because posts come so far apart.

I wish that we end up with more posters, resulting in a greater variety of corruption.

civman2000 · January 17, 2004, 14:07

Granted. Now you have to hear my corruptions, MWAHAHAHAHA!

I wish it was Friday

OzzyKP · January 17, 2004, 15:31

Granted. But you're now too disoriented to know I'm lying.

I wish people wouldn't thread-jack my threads: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...3&pagenumber=3

Shogun Gunner · January 17, 2004, 23:11

People stop thread-jacking or even reading your threads.

I wish the Atari's CEO tripled the development budget for Civ4.

OzzyKP · January 17, 2004, 23:16

The budget triples, which drives up the cost of the finished game. And it still sucks anyways.

I wish I could find a great way to download stuff online.

Mr. Harley · January 18, 2004, 06:57

You do. You discover a security hole in your workplace's firewall, and download gleefully at megaBYTES per second. The RIAA finds out, tracks you down, sues you for $250,000, and the local federal prosecutor decides YOU are going to be the test case for criminal penalties. Did I mention you lose your job?

I hope the Civ 4 is released open source, with easily identifiable modules, resulting in dozens of variants and a great commercial success for Atari, completely revitalizing turn-based strategy games.

civman2000 · January 18, 2004, 10:10

Granted. Unfortunately, you suddenly lose your job and can't find another one as as a result can't afford it.

I wish temperatures where I live ranged only from 40 to 90 degrees farenheit.

Shogun Gunner · January 18, 2004, 10:50

The temperatures now range between 40 and 90 F. Too bad it's only 40 OR 90, never inbetween. Enjoy!

I wish I always had interesting reading material when in the bathroom.

Mr. Harley · January 18, 2004, 11:42

You have a stock of, ahem, INTERESTING magazines that your GF finds. She calls the police, you are arrested as a pervert, and even though you are eventually found innocent, your life is in shambles and you're black listed.

I wish a could translate "yeh, ehh ehh ehh" and all the other fascinating things my 10 month old says.

Granted. You can now understand everything he says. It turns out he hates you and is merely waiting for his motor functions to develop to the extent that he can pick up a knife and stab you with it repeatedly.

I wish I could run UFO Aftermath on my PC without it crashing. Ever.

Shogun Gunner · January 18, 2004, 14:07

You run UFO Aftermath just fine on your PC, but a real UFO lands in your house and "crashes" your PC.

I wish there were more synomyns for "wish" than the five Bill Gates offers me through SHIFT-F7 in Microsoft Word.

Mr. Harley · January 23, 2004, 04:58

You get the Oxford English Dictionary on disk. You realize the terrible things Gates is doing to business letter formats, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. You start a trend that eventually challenges the Windows hegenomy. With the loss of de facto standards, the Linux takles over and PC's become a geek thing again. Network televsion regains popularity, and an entire 1950's retro thing starts. Because of this "Leave it to Beaver, the Grandkids" becomes a new CBS hit. Realizing this is all your fault, you retire to a Shao-lin monastery.

I wish the Linux crowd would get there act together and make a common graphical interface my wife could use.

self biased · January 23, 2004, 05:48

granted. microsoft buys linux.

i wish i had more free time to paint.

self biased · January 28, 2004, 13:44

granted, but now i'll never actually finish anything.

i wish more people would participate in this thread.

Ben Kenobi · January 28, 2004, 13:49

Granted.

So many people participate, that the cross-posts confuse everyone as to who wished for what and when. People later leave the thread in frusteration.

I wish Markos would allow us to post a babe thread.

self biased · January 28, 2004, 13:53

granted. he already does, but it's the hot or not thread.

i wish more people understood the 100-0 game.
