[NT2C]

Rules: You must grant the previous wish in an unexpected and unwanted way. Then state your wish for the next player to grant. If a wish isn't granted in 24 hours you may post a new wish.

Example: I wish I owned 40 acres of bottom land.

Granted! Good luck farming the bottom of Lake Huron.

I wish I had some popcorn

I wish I had some popcorn

Wish granted: you have popcorn.  Lots of popcorn actually seeing how you have almost two dozen machines to make it.  Because you own a chain of movie theaters.  Know what you don't have?  Customers.  None.  Nada.  See, there's been this pesky global pandemic and you've had exactly zero revenue for going on 16 months now.  Hear that phone ringing?  That's the property management company calling.  Something about rent being overdue on all your leases ...

Know what I wish for?  A sailboat.

[Nyte]

Know what I wish for?  A sailboat.

Granted, you have a sailboat, but it's beached on a small island in the south Pacific.

I wish for a working homestead.

Granted, you have a sailboat, but it's beached on a small island in the south Pacific.

I wish for a working homestead.

Granted.  Just gotta wait for that Mars colony to happen, then build some farming structures...on a largely airless planet.  And there's a bit of a problem with water, too, since it'll need to be shipped in from the poles.  And inoculating the sterile soil; hope you don't mind Whatneying some bacteria into it.

I wish I'd known what Ford was releasing with the Maverick before I bought a Tundra.

[RoneKiln]

I wish I'd known what Ford was releasing with the Maverick before I bought a Tundra.

Granted. And you waited for the Maverick and bought one of the first of a glitchy unreliable mess cause Ford rushed it to market without proper testing and you wished you had known how much better the Tundra would be before you bought the Maverick.

I wish for a million wishes!

[NT2C]

I wish for a million wishes!

Granted!  There are now one million people wishing you never get another wish.


I wish I had a good cheeseburger.

[Lettuce Pray]

/quote]

GRANTED!
It is quite delicious. However, after taking your first bite, you leaned a little too far to one side of the table and dropped it to the floor. Your pack of attack cats then tactically surrounded it and claimed your meal as property of the state of catnippia.

I really REALLY wish I had bought that VZ58 I had in my hands 10 years ago. It was only $550.

[NT2C]

I really REALLY wish I had bought that VZ58 I had in my hands 10 years ago. It was only $550.

Granted!  You actually did buy it, and now you're selling it to me for $200 because the medical bills due to the stroke you apparently suffered while typing that post are really piling up.

I wish I could afford unlimited ammo for it.

Granted. You were riding with Boskone to the range in his new Maverick he waited to buy instead of the Tundra when the onboard computer glitched and mixed up brakes and acceleration. Ford paid out a fortune for you losing all your limbs in the crash. They paid to replace the VZ58 that was ruined in the crash as well.

I wish Firefly hadn't been canceled.

[Nyte]

I wish Firefly hadn't been canceled.

Granted, but it merged with The SImpsons, and the crew were replaced by the Simpson family.

I wish I had more motivation in my classes.

[boskone]

Granted.  You're part of a program combining chemical and psychological treatments to improve student engagement.  It works too well, though, and you have a psychotic breakdown and think you're Pac-man.  After several hours wandering around campus saying "waka waka" over and over while eating anything generally pill-shaped, you encounter a ket pill which exacerbates your condition and die trying to eat a moving Fiat 500.

I wish I could find someone else to mow my lawn whenever it's over 90F.

[RoneKiln]

I wish I could find someone else to mow my lawn whenever it's over 90F.

Granted. The crash caused by the new Maverick that took NT2Cs limbs also left you a quadriplegic. The settlement from Ford is enough to pay someone to mow your lawn. And spoon feed you gruel.

I wish for the genie to be a normal free human.

Granted.  But there must be a genie to corrupt the wishes, so tag...you're it.

I wish RoneKiln hadn't distracted me while test-driving my new Maverick.

I wish RoneKiln hadn't distracted me while test-driving my new Maverick. 

Granted. You're driving your Tundra again. Wishing you had a Maverick while a malevolent genie listens nearby, ready to start the cycle of horror anew. 

I wish I had a Maverick too. 

[boskone]

Granted.  They're heavily pre-ordered, though, and it'll be 2024 before it gets delivered.

(Tangent: The Rangers have done well around here, and I really hope the Mavericks do as well.  I would like to have reasonably-sized pickups available other than the Ridgeline.)

I wish I'd thought to put on sunscreen before mowing, so I hadn't gotten sunburnt.

[Nyte]

Granted, but instead of a sunburn, your skin reacted badly with the chemicals and you now have a chemical burn.

I wish I had some ice cream.

[Zed hunter]

                I wish I had some ice cream.

Granted but it was left in the Maverick in 90 degree heat with the windows up.

I wish I could get 'rejuvenating ' treatments.  This getting old sucks.

[RoneKiln]

I wish I could get 'rejuvenating ' treatments.  This getting old sucks.

Granted. You're abruptly turned into a toddler and put into foster care.

I wish we could figure out faster than light travel.

[NT2C]

I wish we could figure out faster than light travel.

Granted, you do figure out FTL travel, but the time dilation effect keeps sending you back in time to the start of the pandemic in 2020 in an endless loop.  Don't forget to horde some TP!

I wish my bed was more comfortable.

[Nyte]

I wish my bed was more comfortable.

Granted, your bed is more comfortable for everyone other than you.

I wish it didn't take 10 pounds of extra equipment for me to camp for one night.
