**IFEELLIKECHICKENTONIGHT,LIKECHICKENTONIGHT** Davis Lee Roth is now still in Van Halen. Too bad no one knows who the hell he is, not to mention that he is still 'cuz he’s DEAD! I wish I didn’t have to be at work today ---

Zoomundi! Your grammar is now so perfect, goof enough to satisfy The Scrivener, but you don’t have a creative bone in your body. You spend your life editing romance novels. I wish I could drink all night, and not be hung over the next day. ---

WISH GRANTED. **SiXSwordS** now understands grammar very well indeed, just well enough to satisfy **The Scrivener** , but his vocabulary is now that of a three-year-old!!! I wish I hadn’t accrued so much debt. Knorf ---

WISH GRANTED. **Cat scratch fever** can now drink all night, sans hang over, but, in short order, advanced Cirrhosis of the Liver has set in! I still wish I hadn’t accrued so much debt. Knorf ---

Knorf: You didn’t accrue any debt (accrue means gain over a period of time. I looked it up) You just got it _all at once_ I wish I could post more than once a minute… ---

Plip! You _can_ post more often than once per minute, and do so, using a variety of sockpuppets. This works for about two hours, and then the moderators catch on and ban you. I wish the tri-state area had fewer deer ticks (which carry Lyme’s Disease), even if that meant we had to have more garden slugs (by some bizarre nasty-critters-compensation-mechanism). ---

The tri-state area is now devoid of deer ticks. Their absence has made the garden variety slug a household name now, with nearly every surface inside your house and out covered in these deliciously slimy gastropods. Tribbles and gremlins ain’t got nuthin’ on these things. I wish I had a 40 right now. ---

\ ***Klimmelheit** You have a 40 right now. Unfortunately it’s a 40-watt bulb, and you need to illuminate your local ball field. It is not enough. The game is played in the almost-dark, and multiple injuries are the result of collisions on the dim field. You go down under the weight of lawsuits, never to be seen again. I wish my fridge was full of _good_ food. ---

You fridge is full of good food but you just got home from the dentist’s office and your mouth is wired shut. I wish Leeanna Warner and all missing children were home safe in their beds with their families! ---

**ATOMSMASHIN’** Your wish is granted and the tri-state area now has fewer deer ticks… exactly one fewer which is now embedded in the base of your skull pumping your brain full of spirochetes. I wish it wasn’t so foggy here ---

Young miss warner and all the others are now at home in bed with their families. And I mean “_In Bed_”… it’s pretty nasty. I wish it wasn’t so foggy here. ---

_Alakadoodlenoodlecaboodle_ You have a lot less work to do, BigDaiv, because you’ve been fired, your house has been confiscated for taxes, you live under a bridge and you’ve lost your mind from the grief. I wish for some liver treats for my dog that he’ll actually eat and enjoy. ---
