You can't say, i'd wish for infinite wishes either

Free cheese for everybody.
 
HOORAY THEN!

What about the lactose intolerants
 
We'll implant the nessesary bacteria into their rectum.
 
That bacteria would turn to yogurt.

That's milk, not sh*t
 
Dude, No.

Just quit.

Wisdom...unless Evo decides she can loosen her grip on the thermostat. :!) If all else fails, a lifetime supply of white chocolate Reeses peanut butter cups.

Happiness to all people.
I don't know what can make others happy but I think if I was health,I would be happy coz I can plan for my future :cry: but I know it's possible to be happy even with sickness and other problems.and sometimes you have everything but you can't be happy.

Is that enough brown-nosing for you, Evo?

If I had one wish , I would like to know what universe looks like.

And If I was granted some more wishes,I would tell the bastard that infinite wishes not allowed..!

I think I'd be too afraid to make a wish and I'd tell the genie to take a hike. :bugeye: One doesn't grow up playing a lot of D&D without realizing almost any wish, no matter how carefully worded, can be corrupted horribly. For example, if I asked for a lifetime supply of chocolate (*not* white chocolate), the genie would probably hand me a candy bar. When I protested, 'hey! I said a lifetime supply,' he would inevitably respond with 'yep, that's all you'll need.' :devil:

I did find that episode of the X-Files where Mulder got 3 wishes to be pretty funny. IIRC, he made a wish for world peace and everyone in the world disappeared. The (female) genie rattling on about 'you're not going to ask for a huge member are you? I get so tired of that one' was hilarious too.

YEAH! and when the dude was thinking about a wish and the genie was nodding at his brother in the wheelchair like, HELLO!, and he said a gold wheelchair! DOH! Took invisibility instead and got whacked by a bus.

I forgot all about the 2 brothers! That part was hilarious. I need to find that episode and watch it again.

I'd wish for for the Ultimate Answer to "Life, the Universe, and Everything" really to be 42.

Reminds me of the old joke where there's an Irishman sat at the bar in his local. A leprechaun appears in front of him, and after a brief introduction says that he can grant the old man one wish. Paddy is stumped, and peering into his drink, decides he likes nothing more than a few quiet pints in the pub, so says "well, oi'll 'ave a never ending point o' Guinness!" The leprechaun grants the old man's wish. Sure enough, the old man downed his drink, and as he put the glass back on the table it instantly filled itself up again! The leprechaun says "well Paddy, seeing as that was such an easy wish to grant, I'll let you have one more wish". The old man thinks about it for a moment, and then goes "Ooh, oi'll 'ave the same again thanks!"

i'm reminded of the simpsons halloween episode with the monkey paw... Lisa asks for world peace, so everyone gets rid of their weapons, and then aliens attack. homer even asked for just a good turkey sandwhich... but the turkey was a little dry! i found that pretty hilarious...


Anyways, if i had one wish... hmm... i think i'd ask for time to just chill while i decided what the best wish would be... i guess when i finally realized the one thing i wished for, time'd go back to normal, and really nothing would've changed since i already used my wish... but it'd be cool to have a lot of time to just think about it...

I'd wish to ba able to do anything. Then we could do all the crap you're all talking about plus anything else. but if you think about it, there are some paradoxes involved

Even if you don't.


Sorry... you guys haven't been giving me much to work with here. :redface:

Ok, here goes.. I think everyone in the world should have their own personal servant.

Hmm, can't see any problems with that one...

Bagsee Evo be my personal servant.

Well now... I would appear to have my choice of which one to pick on, with the exception of Evo who has already been claimed by the insidiously quick Brewnog. It's tough to choose, but I'll take Moonbear because she's so focused on catching Artman that she probably won't notice. :biggrin:

Thanks, Adrian.

Danger, why do you want a slave (urrrm, servant) that's permanently occupied doing things which aren't bringing you grapes, beer, and giving you spongebaths?

Check her post rate. She can't spend that much time working. Besides, she still owes me for the electric bra even if she has discarded it for the summer.

I'd wish for peace of mind. Or maybe I would wish that nobody would get any wishes without having to earn them first. No sense in mucking up the world needlessly.

who would serve the servants? (someone was saying something about a paradox?)

Moonbear would!

Hey, you! I've already claimed her!

Just daisy-chain the rest of them, so the last servant serves the first one.

Nah, I think we should give Moonbear a Herculean number of tasks. She's busy enough just chasing Artman, it'll be funny to watch those veins start popping out of her head...

I'd wish for a new country to be made just south-west of Britain where all my favourite books and films and stuff really existed. The town where the Goonies live would be there, and Shermer, Illinois, and Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect would live there and they'd take me on trips in the Heart of Gold and I could go on lots of adventures with Don Quixote, I'd be the best.

Yeahhh! Rivendell is there too, and you can play tennis against Fearne Cotton off CBBC.

And Weezer sing you to sleep at night and every morning Jeeves wakes you with a pot of tea and a bacon sandwich with lots of ketchup.

Yeah!

And there's no traffic, except me tootling around in my TVR. And there's only 3 kinds of weather: Bright, warm & breezy, snowy, and thunderstorms! And twice a week, the female members of S-Club (minus Jo, she got the flo!) come to give me and Danger a back rub.

Yay! And Stephen Fry would live next door and he'd read stories and be funny on request, and Cap'n Jack Sparrow would live across the street in a rum distillery, and there'd be towns where whenever you entered a room a 'live studio audience' would cheer and when you said something funny they'd laugh, and other towns where people would spontaneously start dancing and singing en masse every seven and a half minutes. This is fun, I hope I meet a genie.

I would wish to know the last digit of pi; just to see if the universe ends. :biggrin:

I control the thermostat, but I will make you my "moon cookies"...two ritz crackers with peanut butter between them, dipped in white chocolate. If you like the white reeses, you'll love these. It's the Evo child's favorite treat.

I'll have to make some sometime. They sound really good.
