Corrupt-a-Wish
There’s a fun thread over on BoingBoing where everyone is playing Corrupt-a-Wish:
The rules are simple:
I make a wish, and the next person to post finds an ironic way to derive bad consequences from granting the wish, or to otherwise tag a downside to it, and so on and so forth.
Example:
Person 1:
i wish i had a CorvettePerson 2:
granted. you got it real cheap because it was crushed under a giant anvil.
i wish i was the most attractive person in the worldPerson 3:
granted. you are the most attractive person in the world, and both sexes now want your body.
i wish i had a big, juicy steak.Person 4:
granted. how’s your diet going?
i wish i was invulnerable to every kind of harm.
…and so on, with the next person thinking up a Monkey’s Paw-like twist to the previous person’s wish, then making a wish of their own. It sounds like it’d be fun to play with friends, either in person or on a Facebook or blog thread. If my commentariat wants to come out of the woodwork, we can try it here as well.
I’ll start: I wish I had the power to read other peoples’ minds, but only when I chose to do so.

UNFORTUNATELY you have an extreme form of ‘mental tinnitus’ so you cannot quite grasp all that is thought and it would be awkward to ask the other party,” errr, what did you think about my hair just now?”.
I wish that I could play the violin.

Granted, but no one can ever hear you play.
I wish I had more friends.

Granted. You now have lots of friends but they live a very expensive distance away from you.
I wish I had long hair.

Kathy, your wish is granted. Your luxuriant leg hair makes all the boys cry.
I wish I was going on a holiday next week.

Granted, but your destination is plagued by an invasion of large squishy, but otherwise harmless caterpillars. They are in everything and getting squashed with each step.
I wish my house was clean.

Your wish is granted but your house is so clean that you go blind looking at it because of how shiny it is.
I wish I was able to control time.
