Granted. In fact, you feel so good, you resolve to work to your fullest. You quickly rise to CEO of a powerful international company, at which point you are shot dead by a mod hitman for no reason that you can see.

I wish I were in the land of cotton...

You find yourself in the antebellum South, a slave singing mournful Negro Spirituals as you struggle to pick cotton in the fields under the hot, Southern, Summer sun.

I wish I had the presentation for the lecture I foolishly agreed to give during my vacation finished.

Okay, your lecture is finished, but so is your vacation.

I wish my Mac's battery hadn't just died.

It wasn't the battery; it was the motherboard.

I wish I was better at thinking up birthday presents for family.

I wish I could talk like Margaret Cho.

You can't even get to me. I got special service, boundaries like the rings of Saturn. I am protected. I am four – five faggots deep all around me, who don't see your name on the list, who will not let you in here looking like that, who will hold you in a cold, hard, unflinching stare or back hand compliment you until you cry. Yes I have security tighter than Ryan Seacrest's asshole, at least as tight as his publicist says it is.

You think of the perfect gift every time, but you have no means of expressing what it is or aquiring it.


I wish I could concentrate.

By simmering and simmering, reducing and reducing, you finally create the perfect port wine concentrate. Then you burn it.

I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner.

Everyone is in love with you. Or they would be, if you weren't an eight-year old OM weiner. Instead, it's the rats that love you, as they devour your rotten, moldy, discarded carcass. Later, these same rats meet their end in a hot dog meat grinder...

I wish I WASN'T HOOKED ON SINFESTTTT! ARRRGH IVE BEEN READING THEM ALL DAY AND I CANT STOPPPP

You finally get to the end of Sinfest only to have me lend you all three of his books. After you wade, bleary eyed through the books you discover Girl Genius here and here.


I wish UT would win the lottery.

In a sudden flurry of posts, smoothmoniker returns to the Cellar.

Unfortunately, he is now a radical muslim cleric musician, and each and every Cellarite soon receives in the mail little bombs disguised as Britney Spears dolls.

I wish Winter would end.

UT wins $20 on a scratch-off ticket. Unfortunately, as he blows away the little silvery ticket scratch boogers, they fall into his morning coffee... and the heat activates the release of their cancer-causing agents, which take up residence in his pancreas.

I wish xoB would win the lottery!

He does. The draft lottery.

I wish I could sell this old printer instead of dumping it in my neighbor's backyard.

Granted, but the buyer turns out to be a mass murderer, who kills you, then takes the printer 'cause mass murderers need to print stuff sometimes too you know.

I wish I could be a simple kinda' man.
