Yes, you are a little star, a very little star. Ronnie Corbet (ask your parnets/english friends’ parents) You stand at a mighty 4 foot 9 and are moke by everyone, untill you drink yourself into an early, and very short, grave. I wish I was as wise as Mesthuselah ---

**BigDaiv** , you are now a little star. In fact, you are so little that you emit no light that people on Earth can see, and nobody ever knows that you exist. I wish that I bought all the books I wanted with money I got legitimately and donated them to the library. ---

- drum roll, geni enters stage left - Why **The\_Immortal\_Mango** you can be as wise as a Mesthuselah, in fact you can be as wise as the wisest oversize Champagne bottle ever to have existed. - smoke and fire crackers - At least you will get to stand for election as the Monster Raving Luney candidate. I wish I had a magic hypnosis gun (1920’s style, naturally) that makes people do the Chicken dance whenever I fire it at them. ---

_foup!_ You are as wise as Methuselah. Unfortunately this means that you must use Methuselah’s thoughts to express your new wisdom… which means that you con only dispense your wisdom in Proto-Aramaic or one of several even-more-obscure languages. The few people who understand you are scattered among seven universities in Europe and Asia, a Fundamentalist Christian school in the USA, and the National Museum in Baghdad. When news of your inexplicable transformation is broadcast on CNN and the BBC, these scholars immediately realise the supreme importance of your words. A bidding war breaks out over your services. At the height of the bidding war, a disaffected Iraqi sympathiser assassinates you as a strike bacjk at his Great Enemy. I wish I had the confidence to approach _any_ woman. ---

Zounds! You now have the confidence to approach any women. However, you now are unable to control what women you approach. I wish I could play bass… ---

_plop_ You play the bass better than anyone before or after you. After a few days, though, it starts to rot. Then a cat steals it while you’re in the bathroom. I wish network TV was actually entertaining. ---

Gruiz! Network TV is now entertaining, but, to make it so, all cable channels founded after January 29, 1985 were abolished. I wish I could get my college degree tomorrow… ---

[[[[pop]]] You can get your college degree tomorrow, in fact all your finals are tomorrow. I hope you revised. I still wish I had a magic hypnosis gun (1920’s style, naturally) that makes people do the Chicken dance whenever I fire it at them. ---

- A la chicken salad sandwiches! \* You get your gun, but due to it’s advanced deterioration because of age, it only fires in reverse. You not only do the Chicken Dance, but your finger is permanently convulsed around the trigger. Here’s some new shoes to tide you over. I wish I was on Santa’s nice list instead of the other one. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Horseflesh \* > I wish I was on Santa’s nice list instead of the other one. _Poof_ You are on the nice list. Too bad that Santa sick of nice boys and girls. He has now become a manifestation of young [Calvin’s](http://www.alloftheabove.net/cahr/poems/santapoem.htm) dreams. He can gargle his peas and get presents. You’re doomed to coal. ---

Ah, **dwalin** , so sincerely wishing: > [@](#): > > I wish that I bought all the books I wanted with money I got legitimately and donated them to the library. And everyone ignores you – maybe because they can’t think of a way to corrupt your noble wish? HA! I say. _HA!!_ Little did you know, when you withdrew from the bank all the money you’d sweated and slaved to earn for the last 40 years… little did you know, as you plunked it all down on carton upon carton of books… Little did you know that at that very moment, the library went completely electronic, and now they don’t want your useless obsolete volumes. Have fun hauling them all back home again! Meanwhile, back at **SiXSwordS’s** former abode, **SSS** has indeed gone home, only to find it occupied by a frantic \*\* Mr. Miskatonic\*\*, who is desperately searching for a wish, having forgotten to post one in the appropriate thread. The home has been torn to ribbons and half-demolished in the course of the search. But **SSS** still has to take out the trash. I wish Hollywood would stop making stupid remakes of movies that were perfectly fine the first time. ---

Last year I got something organic from the reindeer stalls. _sigh_ Going back to **SiXSwordS** ’s doomed wish… - Falafel! \* You return home, which is a maximum security prison that houses nothing but serial rapists, street mimes, and deaf accordianists. You are also wearing an exploding proximity collar to keep you where you belong. Welcome home, boy, and say “hi” to your new cellmate, Dirk Diggler a.k.a. The Denver Goat Felcher. I wish I was drunk right now. ---

Alex VA can now eat 30 jalepenos in 15 seconds. And is compelled to do so EVERY 15 seconds, every minute of every hours of every single day until he or she dies… which, I suspect, won’t be too far in the future. I wish that everyone, everywhere acknowledge me as their beloved overlord and god-king, whose word is law. ---
