Granted, but then Slate anounces that it is going to pay all of it's long-time (which you qualify) BOTFers $10,000,000/yr. each to post responses to articles and spread their wisdom to the rest of the fray.

I wish the software running this joint was faster than me.

granted, but your new spelling skills only qualify you to work as a proofreader for Hitchens.

I wish I could play the piano.

Granted, but a fan of your piano playing proves mentally unstable and horribly mangles your hands in a botched attempt to steal the objects of his worship by way of amputation.

I wish the few people on this short bus that have put it together would go all the way and start corrupting each others wishes as opposed to waiting on me to do it.

Don't go moving the goalposts, just because it wasn't that difficult a challenge.

I wish my dog were President of the US.

but you were a better speller last week, and you no longer are.

I wish you had a better command of the subjunctive.

granted, but instead we went to war with Canada and now daveto, Dawn, and Schad are armed to the teeth.

I wish I could keep a fern alive for more than a month.

but after each corruption, your eyes will start bleeding .

I wish I was not already bored of this game.

But now you have become obsessesed with it and compulsively answer everyone's top posts with granted wishes.

I wish you posted more on the fray

but that someone else is wgoconnel, and he topposts variants twenty times a day.

We wish wgo would receive asylum in an asylum lacking internet access.

Granted. But after one of the best 2.5 month runs in investing history (except the percentage gain earned by one Hillary Rodham) your are hauled into court to explain your apparent insider knowledge. All your assets are frozen and the St. Barts bank you have been stashing your earnings in is exposed as an AQ front. Your ticket to Gitmo is punched.

I wish we had a computer to write code, then I wouldn't have to deal with devs.
