But say, I'm a bit subtler. Don't catch all the waves. Am content to take the odd $5 mil or so and then invest in Belize or somewhere.

It could be done. With a well-phrased wish.

Ugh! Wrylee hit one straight down the fairway and what do you do, puttputt about how you'd finess your wish come true?

I wish you could see this game played in a forum where a majority of the players get why it's fun.

Did you once send a compass to me?

If not, never mind.

If so, hello. I can see it from where I currently sit.

... but the new president's first official act is to make his owner the new ambassador to Myanmar.

I wish I didn't have to admit that this is the best thread I've seen around these parts in weeks.

By the rules of the game, I got my wish. How I use it is up to my discretion. If I'm a blundering Mammoth heading toward a pit trap, all's fair. But I'd be more subtle.

Don't attempt to make me stupider than actual.

...but because your brain is now a mass of quivering goo, you are now enthralled with C & P posts about waterskiing budgies. And kool-aid. Or nazis. Or something. Hey - look at that shiny object!

I wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow.

but he has a phone, and knows your number.

I wish I was marginally less idiotic.

But your job has been moved to India where it is done at 20 cents an hour

No, I got your Fed Ex this morning with my testicles inside...just as good as new. Thanks dear.

but due to the fact that you haven't had a hair cut in your entire life, while on your short trek to the pit trap you trip over your own wooly hair and stumble. A pride of saber tooth tigers then lunges out from behind nearby rocks and severs your jugular denying your funeral in the pit trap.

I wish I could time travel to the year 2150 AD.

but your increasing boredom has been converted to excitement and retardation. As a result, the more you play, the more excited. . .and dumber you get.

I wish everyone who reads this would understand how creative, exciting and important game playing can be.

Granted, but when you don't have to explain it to us, you feel somehow unfulfilled.

I wish I felt the energy to delete and rewrite my last post to include my wish.

Granted, but your wish would only apply to me, were it granted. I wish you had been more specific.

Granted, but that energy also leads you to overcome your guilt and communicate with various family members you have been avoiding. The result? 'nomist reunion in New York: you book tickets and mediate all conflicts.

I wish I could speak Spanish.
