  • Some participants express wishes related to personal goals, like getting accepted to a university, which are granted with disastrous consequences.
  • There are recurring themes of wishes leading to unexpected and often comical results, such as wishing for more wishes resulting in twisted versions of those wishes.
  • Participants engage in playful banter, with some wishing for mundane tasks to be done, only to receive absurd outcomes.

Granted. You've also been widely reported as an internet spammer. All of your emails to friends are automatically deleted before they see them, and every internet forum you join bans you automatically. Hope you enjoy writing paper letters and interacting with people face to face.

I wish Bush were no longer presi--uh wait, nevermind. Um, I wish I were 20 years younger, but still knew everything I know now.

Granted, except you have no control over your destination and can only go to concerts by Britney Spears and similarly lame pop tarts.

I wish I had a replicator, like the one in Star Trek.

Granted, but you can only replicate Britney Spears and similarly lame pop tarts. Oh, and hundreds of PF members keep bugging you, wanting to borrow your replicator.

I wish I had a holodeck, like the one in Star Trek.

Granted - you're already in it. You didn't think that was real life, did you? Unfortunately the exit portal is permanently broken.

I wish I had more usable storage space in my house.
