Wish Corruption

Posted by smcquaid 170 comments

Shaun McQuaid says:

Let’s play a game. It’s called “wish corruption”. It goes something like this…

I make a wish. For example:
“I wish I had fries with my lunch.”

The next person grants the wish, but corrupts it.
“Granted, but the fries are 2 weeks old.”

I think this could easily break the highest comment count, if we do it right…

I’ll start.

I wish I had a laser beam mounted on my car.

Laser Beam. Granted.

It’s actually just a stop & shop checkout scanner though. And it’s mounted with duct tape.

WISH:
I wish I could shoot giant fireballs from my palms.

Granted.

Unfortunately shared winners results in powerball winnings of a mere four cents.

Of which 0.02 has to be mailed to the government as taxes on the winnings. Postage costs 39 cents. And… just like that you’re 37 cents in the red.

WISH: That I could freeze time so that I could be well rested every night.

Shamus: granted.
Mike D. does extremely stupid things. But stops recording video, so the world is never in the know.

Aaron: granted.
Both you and your family have moved so that you’re sharing a duplex that sits on the border between two towns. The walls are thin. Your parents disapprove of everything you do. You go to the bottle to make yourself feel better. Your addiction leads to financial instability, your wife leaves you, and you crash your rad bike as you try to drunkenly jump a curb. Your life is in ruins.

WISH:
I wish I had a spaceship.

Today must be your lucky day Shaun! You found a coupon for free fajitas from Any restaraunt that serves them. Fast Forward 2 months…Your cholestorol is through the roof and you’ve put on 500 pounds, getting you close to that dreaded “Sander Weight”, after eating 100 Fajitas a day.

I wish that I had EVERY day off and that because of my large amount of free time, I could finally write a book, scrapbook my life, go to the gym everyday, and be stress free….

[Reply]

Feb 28, 2007
2:49 pm
#31 Sander :

Your wishes have been fulfilled!
You write a book, and are sued over its content by angry right-wing conservative mothers, and you now live in a refrigerator box. Your scrapbook came out great, but due to a glue mixup your fingers are now all permanently cemented together. You go to the gym every day, but since you have no money and they see your uni-hands as a safety risk when handling heavy weights, you’re not allowed inside. You’re completely stress-free, despite the fact that due to eating out of dumpsters every day has riddled you with dysentery.

I wish that I could play the piano.

Feb 28, 2007
2:52 pm
#32 Kurt from Work :

Your wish is granted!
With you not calling into work when you weren’t coming in, they fired you so now you have EVERY day off. With the lack of income you can’t afford to write a book, so you take scraps and write a sign you sit in front of the gym collecting change from the goodness of strangers all while being stressfree.

I wish I could play a musical instrument.

Slight side note…I’m slightly sickened that sander and I have come to this very similar conclusion to corrupt this wish…and even more sickened by the fact that we both came up with rediculously close wishes….

#35 Sander :

1. Right. You’re sickened.
2. They weren’t so similar, really. Poverty was the obvious conclusion.
3. I think you just copied my wish.

that last one is fairly irrelevant, but still halarious

#43 Aaron :

Much like that Star Trek series starring Scott Bakula, Firefly is put back in production and is picked up by the Sci Fi network. However, the change of writing staff to old “Blossom” scribes and the introduction of Jenna Von Oy to the cast drastically change the feel of the show. Now it is a little less space-western, and a lot more “teenage girl, her family, and the struggles of growing up in a single-parent household with a wise-cracking grandfather and former drug-addict older brother, while learning life lessons” show.

I wish that it were daylight savings time all the time.

Congratulations! It’s DST all the time! You had to update your computer though, to patch the date parsers, and now it won’t boot. (True story.) Not that it matters, the increased electrical consumption by all those air conditioners in Southern and Desert climates to compensate for the increased daylight means unpredictable but frequent blackouts.

I wish I had my own key lime tree

#45 Sander :

Daylight savings occurs all the time now. We subtract an hour from the time once every second. Before the next 3 days is up, you’re a merely a newborn, and no longer legally allowed to drive or vote or go to R-rated movies. You’re soon killed by a mob of angry former teenagers.

Congratulations! Unfortunately, all that beer is horribly, horribly skunked. And because you posted an out-of-band-comment and didn’t reply to mine, do you know where that beer dispensing nozzle goes? That’s right. Beer enema.

Dude! Bill Gates invented a hovercar! But then he heavily patented it, and refuses to produce it commercially, or ever allow anybody else to do so. He won’t even give you a ride.

[Reply]

Mar 1, 2007

#50 Ryan Schenk :

Although your long tooth allows you to play a mean guitar solo a-la Jimi Hendrix, you decided to get all gangsta and get a grill. The problem? Those 8lbs of gold and diamonds added to the front of your head gives you severe neck strain, and you are unable to hold your head upright!

I wish I had a jet-powered skateboard

(PS. Kurt, Bill Gates’s hovercar has a maximum carrying capacity of 600lbs, so you couldn’t ride in one even if you wanted to!)

And like that… poof! Boston Roads remain exactly the same. Every other road in the world however, gets 400 times more convoluted.

I wish:
I could quit my job tomorrow and move to San Diego, California where I could live off vast riches won in the lottery; I would live in peace and tranquil freedom. My physical and mental states would remain the same. I would be in full health, as would my family and friends. I would wake up in the morning to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and my tuned guitar would await me by the unlocked terrace of the mansion in which I lived. I could play the guitar if I wanted to. Each afternoon I would be provided the option of a ride into the mountains where I could rock climb to my hearts delight if I wanted to. My friends and family would remain my friends and family and would be regularly invited to visit. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner would be cooked for me by famous chefs. The dinners would be delicious and I would eat them everyday and enjoy them. This would continue until I was 105 years old at which point I would die in my sleep, happy, after splitting my riches between my kind family and the poor. The world would otherwise stay the same; There would be no journey suppression and JonAbad would not turn into a Dog.

Good luck.

–verb (used with object)
3. to make clear or evident to the eye or the understanding; show plainly: He manifested his approval with a hearty laugh.
4. to prove; put beyond doubt or question: The evidence manifests the guilt of the defendant.
5. to record in a ship’s manifest.

*deep breath*
OK.
- You are now a little bit taller, however this means you keep hitting your head on doorframes and suchlike.
- You are also a professional basketball player (that’s what that means, right? I am not “down with the kids” and their modern slang), but not a very good one, and you are a target of ridicule for opposition teams’ fans.
- You have a girl who looks good, and you do call her, but mainly because she lives on the other side of the world and you never get to meet face to face.
- You have a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a ’64 Impala, unfortunately the hat is a little too big for the rabbit and slips over it’s eyes when it’s driving, causing it to swerve off the road and crash. The rabbit is badly injured (but recovers later in hospital) and the Impala is a write-off. The bat escapes unharmed, but flies off into a forest and is never seen again.

Granted. Your legs feel better. In fact, they feel everything that touches them, down to the smallest breeze. Your new super-sensitive legs can feel anything and everything. Your brain quickly shuts down, overloaded with sensation from your amazing feel-so-good legs, and you are diagnosed as insane and put away for life, where you eventually cut your legs off to end the torture.

And so you shall. However, you cannot control the width, and for every inch long your hair grows, the fibers also grows an inch wide, crowding in on all the hairs around them, slowly combining with each other until at some non-specific length (well, probably about a foot long) you have just one giant foot-wide fiber sticking straight up out of your head. On the up side, you’d look just like Kid (of Kid n’ Play). Oh, and you don’t have individual control of which area of the body your hair grows, soooooooo… good luck with that.

In a moment of rebellion, I choose the Chrysler 300 over the mini-van. As I drove from the airport down to the job site in my sweet ride I see AC/DC’s tour bus on the side of the road. I pull over and help angus young change the tire. He notices the calluses on my left hand and asks if I’d like to join them on the tour. I promptly abandon the Chrysler 300 on the side of the road and jump into the bus. We first drive south to Cincinnati and I rock out the intro of Thunderstruck as Brian Johnson dances on stage. It turns out the NFL Cheerleaders had back stage passes and they throw themselves at me as I come off stage. At the afterparty I drink straight from the vodka bottle and do some heroin. In a wild fit of drugs and rock I go to bed with four women and shortly thereafter black out.

I wake up naked in a puddle of my own vomit. It smells terrible in here. I look at my watch and realize it’s Mid-april. I’ve been living the rockstar lifestyle for months. I crawl to a bathroom and look in the mirror. There, across my chest, is a huge My little pony tattoo. Life is awesome.

I stumble out of the hotel room and meet up with Angus for our morning cup of cranberry juice. It’s thursday so I get the band to huddle together for our weekly sweater thursday photo. We’ve all got matching Hello Kitty sweaters. Angus just looks adorable.

We leave the hotel and mosey out to the tour bus which I had redecorated with tinsel. We’re working on a new album today in the studio. I was able to convince the band that it really needs more clarinet. Phil Rudd has been working on his clarinet a lot and he’s really shown improvement. I’m very proud of him. Today’s extra special because after our studio time we’re making an appearance on Oprah with the Jonas Brothers.

As we drive over to the studio discussing Phil’s great clarinet work I see a passerby wearing a t-shirt that says ‘rock is dead’

Rock is dead? Nah. just redecorated.
