Do we want our wishes to come true...? GAME:

federicafederica Seeker of the clear blue sky...Its better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt Moderator
edited January 2007 in General Banter
Here's an idea I shamelessly stole from another forum. You make a wish, and the next person grants it, but exposes a negative result. Like this:

1st Person:

"I wish I could time-travel."

Next person:

"Granted! But you travel back to a time where disease is so prevalent, you catch the plague, and get very sick and the chemist is shut!"

then they add their wish:

"I wish I was a bird!"

....And a third person comes along....

"Granted! But you're a dodo....."

You get the drift!

All just a bit of fun!


Ok, let me get the ball rolling....


"I wish I was 9" taller!"

    Granted, but you get vertigo being that tall. And I wish more Americans understood irony.
  • FrizzerFrizzer
    edited January 2006
    Granted! But then they'd understand when we're being ironic and that would negate the joy of irony!

    I wish I had unlimited wishes....

    Fede, your wish is granted, but then you would not be able to find pants long enough. Trust me...I am 5"11" and it's a pain in the butt to find pants!

    Here's my wish...I wish my husband, daughter and I lived on an organic farm that was profitable!
  • buddhafootbuddhafoot Veteran
    edited January 2006
    Granted.

    But it's a farm where you can only raise "cattle" as your profitable crop. No hormones or additives. And in your case, it's a very profitable business - (ooooh!, you're gonna have tons of bad karma!)

    My wish? I wish I was enlightened.

    Granted, but you just missed out on the last five years of your life without even realizing it. My wish is that all the commercialism and politics were gone from the Martial Arts.
  • YogaMamaYogaMama

    OK, BF, what if I treat my cattles with the utmost respect and only sell their milk?

    And I should have clarified...we want an organic vegetable farm. With chickens, rabbits, and maybe a goat for our pets! And some horses.

    Yeah.... BUT YOU DIDN'T CLARIFY IT.

    So now you have to live with the guilt of all of those animals you've nixed.

    Oh whatever! I don't eat meat or dairy products, so the last thing I want is a farm full of cows! Well, maybe I would like one little cute cow for a pet. You should have just known that! In my defense, fede, I don't see any rules that say "no extra posting". :)

    Oh, whatever, this game is dumb anyways. ;)

    Anyhoo what happened to my wish? It all went off on a tangent !!
  • YogaMamaYogaMama
    edited January 2006
    Blame it on BF, he is always spouting off about something that has nothing to do with the original topic.

    Your wish for endless wishes can not be granted - didn't you read the rules??!! Kind of like when you find a genie in a lamp...your wishes can't be "more wishes". Haven't you seen the movie "Aladdin"? :)

    Guys, come on... this is supposed to be a game thread... you got the whole of the rest of the forum to have cyber-fights....!!
    Shhhheeeeeeesh! The other forum managed nine 'pages' (and counting!) of this game with no deviation... we can't even do two!!

    Frizzer... come in with a wish!!

    yes, but the rule is that you then have to make a wish of your own, and I wish you'd stick to the game and not try to be so clever!

    I further wish that chocolate, chips, and cream cakes were really good for you....
  • Argon.AidArgon.Aid Veteran

    Granted,but end up they are just good for your taste buds and not your body.You suffer from obesity.

    I shall make a wish for Argon! "I wish to have an invisible jacket that can protect me from shivering like today but yet look "MAN""

    Granted. But the jacket that is transparent is simply so dammed thin, it cannot insulate your thick head. (Joking!)

    My wish: Become such a hopelessly hopeless moron - I can understand what everyone's saying at an instant and come up with cynical, smart-ass rebuttals for them.

    Granted - but then you find you are just the same as everyone else, so there's no difference between you and the enxt person.....

    I wish I knew how to fly....
  • SimonthepilgrimSimonthepilgrim Veteran

    Granted!

    But, in exchange, you forget how to land.

    I wish I had a comfortable pair of slippers.

    Granted, they may be comfy slippers but they're not your size!

    I wish I wasn't dairy intolerant and could eat cheese again....
  • YogaMamaYogaMama
    edited January 2006
    Granted, but then from all the cheese you eat, you end up with clogged arteries.

    I wish that everyone is this world was more accepting of other peoples differences.

    But now all the smokers will be puffing away on cigars instead.

    I wish I could invent mountain bike tyres that gripped on wet tree roots instead of slipping sideways off them, dumping me unceremoniously into the nearest bush (as happened last night on more than one occasion!)
