Make a wish...AND HAVE IT HORRIBLY CORRUPTED!!!

[Molten]

Granted, you go out to stare at the stars...but the only star in the sky is the sun. You stare at it for so long you turn blind.

I wish I got an interview with Rolls Royce.

[Finleym]

Wish granted, you got an interview with the CEO of Rolls Royce. When you get home you see a perfectly maintained, vintage Rolls Royce parked in your driveway. It must have been a gift from the CEO. Unfortunately, you are so surprised that you faint and smack your head on the pavement. When you come to, six months have passed. You find that your team, while you were in a coma, won both your regional and the championship. In addition to that, to afford your hospital care, your family was forced to sell your Rolls Royce. Oh well, at least you got to interview what's-his-face from Rolls Royce. Say, what did you two talk about again?

I wish that I could find my class ring. (lost track of it about three months ago, and I have been looking for it ever since.)

[delsaner]

Granted... You have your middle school class ring. You try it on and it no longer fits. You just wasted a wish.

I wish I did not have so much work due this week.

[EricH]

I wish I did not have so much work due this week.Granted. It was due two weeks ago.

I wish for more wishes.

[Taylor]

Granted, but you do not receive a whole number of wishes. You slowly drive yourself insane trying to figure out how to make 0.324 of a wish.

I wish I had two rolls of black gaffers tape, two rolls of white gaffers tape, one roll of red, one roll of blue (all 2" X 60'), one roll of bidirectional filament strapping tape (3" x 60'), and a whole lot of 7" and 14" zipties.

[EricH]

Granted. You fell asleep near them, and now you're in them. Pesky students.

I wish I was more awake.

[BrendanB]

Granted. But then you have to get up at 3 am the next morning and can't sleep at all.


I wish that my sister would finally get a new car. (sharing a 1990 camry is fine, but she has 12k for a new car)

[delsaner]

Granted... She has a little toy hot-wheels car.

I wish I had straight A's in my classes.

[JAZAD1]

Granted... you have A's in all of your classes until they realize they made a mistake

I wish i had a cookie

[J93Wagner]

Granted ... And then you find out you are allergic to macadamia nuts.

I wish our design team (myself included) would work on improving our crab drive.

[JAZAD1]

granted...you make the perfect crab drive and this year is a water game

I wish kick off would come faster

[BrendanB]

Granted... FIRST comes out saying that kickoff will come sooner. You are then glued to your computer eagerly awaiting kickoff. Kickoff comes Jan. 7 and you have missed Christmas and a chance to be on TV in times square demoing your robot to thousands of people in between stage performers.

I wish that I didn't have to drive 45mins to get to robotics.

[J93Wagner]

Granted... you invent the first practical teleporter only to have a technical malfuction leave you half of everything.

I wish I could go to sleep in a car.

[KarenH]

You go to sleep in a car... at night... while driving on a road through steep mountains. You are critically injured, and your friends riding with you end up injured, killed, or comatose. Then your friends' families sue you for enough money to pay for 100 FIRST Robotics entry fees.

I wish I wasn't so quick to think up morbid endings to other people's wishes.

[EricH]

You go to sleep in a car... at night... while driving on a road through steep mountains. You are critically injured, and your friends riding with you end up injured, killed, or comatose. Then your friends' families sue you for enough money to pay for 100 FIRST Robotics entry fees.

I wish I wasn't so quick to think up morbid endings to other people's wishes.
Granted. Your dreams now get all the morbid endings, turning them into nightmares--as if they weren't already!

I wish for more time in the day.

[BrendanB]

Granted. Scientists come up with a way to stop the earth from rotating around the sun adding 3 hours to our day. However, this process destroys life and the world fails to support life and we all die. Thanks for wishing Eric.:p

I wish that school was easier.

[J93Wagner]

Granted... and you are transported into the world of Fahrenheit 451 to do nothing and have censorship pressed upon you...

I wish I could figure out how to uninstall my Anti-Virus... and install a new one! :D

[Finleym]

wish granted, you now know how to uninstall your old anti-virus and how to install the new anti-virus, which to your amazement is free, so you download it at school onto your flashdrive. Excited about your new-found knowledge, you decide to put it to use and you proceed to uninstall your old anti-virus. Once you are done with this you plug in your flashdrive to install your new anti-virus to find that your school network had what would normally be a rather harmless virus which has now transferred to your computer. Too bad you don't have your old anti-virus.

I wish that my AP Lit class had a lighter workload.

[EricH]

Granted. The workload is now in all your other classes, and every other teacher gives you an amount of homework such that you can only do one class's homework per day, every day. You wind up flunking all your classes just because you wanted a lighter load in one--which you still don't pass, because you aren't doing the work for it.

I wish my Dynamics professor would show up for class today.

[KarenH]

Granted. The prof. shows up, but forgets which class he's supposed to teach, and starts lecturing on grad-level petrochemical engineering. The students get totally confused, can't convince the prof. there's something wrong. Eventually, this prof. gets fired for incompetence, and the school can't find another, so you can't finish the class, and can't finish your degree.

Meanwhile, the prof. was out last week because he had extreme drug-resistant TB, and by showing up this week, he infects all the students in class, causing an epidemic that makes swine flu look like a mild cold.

I wish weather forecasters could be 99 percent accurate.

[Chris is me]

Granted. They are 99% accurate within the hour of the weather happening.

I wish my team could find $6-10,000 in the next month. Just to have on hand, you know.

[Ryan Simpson]

Granted. The weather forecasters are 99% accurate, but in the other 1%, they fail to mention a blizzard. Since you do not realize the severity of the storm, you decide that it will be fine to drive your car. On the way out, the storm gets worse, and you are unable to continue to drive. You are then stuck in your car for a few hours until a snow plow finally reaches the street you are on.

I wish I did not have so much to do today.

[delsaner]

Granted, you were supposed to do it a month ago. You fail all of your classes.

I wish I wasn't sick.

[karatekid]

But if you weren't sick, you would have to go school.

I wish I knew what the game this year is going to be.

[BrendanB]

GRANTED. But in the process of sneaking into FIRST HQ, listening in on several GDC meetings, you get hungry in your hiding spot and eat a Snickers, upon learning as much as you can you go home, design, and build a robot all by Christmas and spend all of build season perfecting it. However FIRST already knows that someone had been "in" on one of their meetings and eagerly search for clues as to whom was seen on the security cameras jumping out of the building. The find the Snickers wrapper, get your DNA, and test every person at each event and you are nailed. And FIRST automatically disqualifies you and your team mates from participating in FIRST again.

I wish that I get a much better score on my SAT's this time around.:o

[EricH]

Seeing as two wishes haven't been granted:

Sure, you have $10,000 in the next month. It's stolen, and what's more, the team credit card is charged for $1 million and you can't prove that it was not done by the team.

And, granted, you get a much better score on your SATs. You get a perfect score, in fact, leading every college and university in the country to send recruiting material to you. You're swamped for weeks, and when you finally dig out and eliminate most of them from your list, the remainder won't offer you and scholarships because you took too long to respond. You can't afford them, either, so you wind up not going to college.

I wish that the R/C airplanes my Aero Design team is building (5 are under construction) would be finished soon.

[J93Wagner]

I wish that the R/C airplanes my Aero Design team is building (5 are under construction) would be finished soon.

Granted, but your team totally gives up the project (we're finished/ loss of will)...

I wish that Kickoff was closer (time wise)...

[Samheartsrobots]

Granted, you have traveled through time. It is now January 11th, but you don't know where you are and why all these men dressed in green are calling you "Sweetums".

I wish that I could make up all my sick work.

[delsaner]

Granted. All of your sick work has been completed, and handed in. You receive many 0's because you did not learn the material on the homework, because you were sick.

I wish I had more motivation to complete my homework.

[karatekid]

Granted. But now you are so motivated that you don't have time for CD or robotics and your robot blows up at competion.

I wish the game hints were more obvious.

[EricH]

Granted. They're obvious to everyone else, who starts building at Kickoff while you're still trying to figure out what the game is. You lose miserably every round.

I wish that people wouldn't make such easy-to-corrupt wishes.

[delsaner]

Granted, this thread comes so incredibly complicated, that people decide to give up and don't try. Everyone now forgets about the thread, and is never resurrected... ever again.

I wish I my GPA is higher than it is now...

[J93Wagner]

Granted. You hack into your school's computer mainframe and raise your grades. However, the intrusion is noticed and you end up in jail...

I wish that I could learn Java...

[Ryan Simpson]

Granted. You become an expert coffee brewer.

I wish that I would never have to go to sleep.

[karatekid]

Granted. You now complete everything you ever wanted to, get bored with life, do drugs, and get arrested.

I wish that today was tomorrow so I could go ski

[Finleym]

Wish granted, however once it becomes tommorrow, tommorrow is now today and the cycle continues until the Big Crunch,

I wish that people wouldn't underestimate the distortion of the space-time continuum.

[J93Wagner]

Granted. Someone overestimates the space-time continuum and Einstein's theory of Relativity and therefore come to the conclusion that Earth can not possibly be rotating around the Sun, and therefore, must be the center of the universe (1500's Christian theology).

[drumfreak]

Hmmmm...He didn't have a wish.

I wish I could think of what to wish for?

[delsaner]

Granted. You found something to wish for, but you wasted your wish, and cant wish for it anymore.

I wish that Thanksgiving will come sooner.

[Ryan Simpson]

Granted. It comes sooner, and then ends sooner as well.

I wish that my wish wouldn't be horribly corrupted.

[Finleym]

Wish granted, your wish is granted magnificiently well, however this contradicts the laws of the universe. To correct this, the next day the universe horribly corrupts your wish. However this contradicts your wish, so your wish takes over the next day and is, again, granted magnificiently well. After about two months of these daily cycling grantings, the stress of changing from one mental extreme to the other is too much for your brain to handle. In order to deal with this mental stress, you become increasingly delusional. On the bad days, you believe that a litter of puppies is waiting around every corner to lick your face. However you balance this out by believing that, on the good days, a host of demonically possessed half-rabid kittens are waiting around the next corner to leap upon you and tear you to bits.

(don't try to resist the corruption... trust me, it doesn't turn out well.)

I wish that I could go to my friend's tabletop gaming party tommorrow.

[karatekid]

Granted-you go and find your friends doing various illegal activites, and you go to prison for life.
I wish that there was an uncorruptable wish.

[delsaner]

Granted. *read Finleym's corruption*

I wish I will do well on my physics quiz tomorrow.

[BrendanB]

Granted... us CDers do your test for you after sneaking out your test and redoing it. You receive an A+++ as you not only get every question right, but we also go extreme by righting a 1 page essay for each question on why the answer is correct. Your teacher is exstatic and decides to make that standard on all homework assignments and quizes. And all the other teachers decide to do the same as well. You then become the most hated kid in your class and become a social outcast. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT:yikes:

I wish my more people would show up to go grocery shopping tomorrow so that i don't have to pick trash out of the woods like i did today... true story and much much more!:o

[Taylor]

Granted, but the trash piles up in the woods, is ignited by a carelessly discarded cigarette butt, and burns down not only the woods but your home as well. Unfortunately, caught in the blaze was Bambi's dad. Down two parents, Bambi comes to you as an orphan and expresses her gratitude with kicks to your face.

I wish the game hint released for this year's game is the actual name of the game.

[Joe Schornak]

Granted. Nobody notices, and the hint is treated as any other game hint. Deep analysis is done into the numerical values of the letters in the phrase, and books using all or parts of the hint are collected and torn apart in search of some sort of meaning.
Then Kickoff rolls around and the entire CD community executes a simultaneous facepalm as the game is revealed. D'oh!

I wish that today had gone exactly as it actually went. (Ha! Corrupt that!)

[Ryan Simpson]

It did, so you are dissapointed by my lack of an original corruption.

I wish that tomorrow MIGHT go exactly as planned.

[delsaner]

Granted, it might, but maybe i will try to ruin it tomorrow in band... ;)

I wish that I would find a way to ruin Ryan's day tomorrow.

[Joe Schornak]

Granted. He returns home from school to discover that his house no longer exists, having been transformed into countless tiny particles gradually settling over an area the size of Nebraska.

I wish I didn't have an exam tomorrow.

[EricH]

I wish I didn't have an exam tomorrow.
Granted. It was moved to today. Not only that, but you have 2 pop quizzes and 3 surprise exams, one of which is 50% of your grade and happens to be in your worst class, which you haven't been studying for anyway, so you totally flunk it, in addition to the zero for missing the one today. Say goodbye to your GPA!

I wish that circuit board bases would be made more quickly.

(There's a story, but the short version is that a class project for which 60 of an item are needed by Friday if possible, won't have 60 of that item by then. Guess what the item is...)

[Cl4p-tp]

Granted but it's made of faulty material and is recalled.

I wish I had a pony!

[RoseJ]

But the pony is actually half zombie. When you are in your bed sleeping, it sneaks into your room and turns you into a zombie too. In terror, the townspeople riot against the zombies and eventually kill of the zombies.

I wish that I could find people to be in a band with me.
(I play guitar.)

[AbeEzell1]

Granted, but everyone else in your band plays guitar too.

I wish Saturday would be tomorrow (guess why) =)

[J93Wagner]

Granted... but a massive nuclear war sends out EMP's that totally wreck every single computer on the planet (including Google ;) )

I wish that I could pry myself away from CD... It's affecting my grades negatively!

[Chris is me]

Granted, your grades fall so low your parents and firends take everything electronic away from you.

I wish it were Kickoff today.

[buddyb]

Granted, your grades fall so low your parents and firends take everything electronic away from you.

I wish it were Kickoff today.

Granted. The power systems in DC just took a hit. Won't be back up until Saturday.

I wish C++ was easier to remember.

[delsaner]

Granted, but you have memorized so much C++ that the robot is required to be programmed in A-- (attempted spin-off of C++ name). good luck learning a new language with one jammed in your brain already.

I wish I wasn't bored.

[Ryan Simpson]

Granted. There is an abundance of things going, so you are completely overwhelmed.

I wish that someone will corrupt this wish.

[LilianaMercedes]

granted, your wish turns into something wonderful and you love it, then someone takes that wish and stomps on it!

i wish i could get from place to place using a portal.

[AbeEzell1]

Granted, but your portal takes you to the suface of the sun and you get killed instantly.

I wish my radio wasn't from the 1980s (so hard to get hockey on it *sadface*)

[buddyb]

Granted, but your portal takes you to the suface of the sun and you get killed instantly.

I wish my radio wasn't from the 1980s (so hard to get hockey on it *sadface*)

Granted, but it is now from 2140, and will not be able to operate on any channels for the next 100 years.

I wish there were 40 hours in a day.

[J93Wagner]

Granted... but this will only happen after billions of years. And before long (astronomically speaking) everyone alive today will die.

I wish that I could possibly get to bed at a reasonable time tomorrow, and then get up at 7 A.M. to get ready for Kickoff.

[EricH]

Granted. You get up at 7:00AM Hawaii time and miss the whole thing.

I wish that people would look at past fields before trying their hands at Hint #2.

[Chris is me]

Granted. I did.

I wish everyone I want to meet in FIRST this year changed their plans to go to the Wisconsin remote kickoff for some reason, it would make life way easier.

[delsaner]

Granted, but now you are the manager of a combination pizza hut/taco bell. You don't have time to talk to anyone, because you'll be so busy. :p

I wish I was better at CAD.

[RoseJ]

I wish I was better at CAD.

Granted. But now that's all you can do. All your friends leave you because they can't stand the random information that you tell them of CAD. Now you grow up alone, and without a cat too.

I wish that I didn't have to shovel the driveway today. (We got a snowday! :) )

[buddyb]

Granted. But now that's all you can do. All your friends leave you because they can't stand the random information that you tell them of CAD. Now you grow up alone, and without a cat too.

I wish that I didn't have to shovel the driveway today. (We got a snowday! :) )

Granted. You must now manually shovel all of the streets in your state by hand, with a small spoon. (By the way, congrats on the snow day. We only got a two hour delay. >.<)

I wish I had an SSD to boot from on my computer.

[ezpkns]

granted, but you have to use a mail in rebate to get it. and it is repayed to you completely in pennies.

I wish I had a life

[karatekid]

Granted. On mario, you find a 1-up.

I wish that this was the uncorruptable wish. (and trust me, I know that you're not supposed to avoid it-I've seen it happen before)

[rsegrest]

Granted. On mario, you find a 1-up.

I wish that this was the uncorruptable wish. (and trust me, I know that you're not supposed to avoid it-I've seen it happen before)

Granted...BUT...now that the corrupt-a-wish game has ended those of us who play to relieve stress go postal and decide to actually do to the cRio all the things they claim it can withstand including dropping it from a 6 story building and welding it to the frame of the bot just before we drop it in the pool to test for the underwater game we all 'know' is coming!...Congratulations everyone now needs a new cRio...::ouch::

I wish...for more wishses...

[solost4words]

Granted, but you get those wishes from the genie from Aladdin, who, because he's blue and has pointy ears, becomes your Avatar, who causes mayhem amongst the natives and causes them to kill you and your avatar. :yikes:

I wish I could finish a novel. :confused:

[All Bones]

Granted, you finish the novel but it turns out that it's so terrible people start riots around the world and try to hunt you down and cut off your hands so you can never write again.

I wish for world peace :)

[Brian Ha]

Granted but you and everyone else would be dead because thats the only way to get world peace.

I wish that i could fly

[ChaosX73]

Sure thing! But you are captured by the government and they experiment on you until you mutate into a giant orange lizard. In your attempt to find warmth, you escape the government facility but find you are in Alaska and it is still January. You die of exposure.

I wish I had and infinite amount of other, un-corruptable wishes!

[samkman]

Granted, but then you died in a horrible car accident.

I wish our robot could fly

[All Bones]

Granted, but then it migrates south for the winter and you never see it again.

I wish that this emoticon would stop hitting his eye out with his hammer <said emoticon>::ouch::<said emoticon>

[Brian Ha]

Granted but it would hit you in the eye

I wish i was a chicken

[ChaosX73]

Okay, but you are grown as one of those rumored "meat-sack" chickens, where your beak is cut off, you are kept in a cage five sizes too small with five other chickens and you are all fed through a tube.

I wish I would stop getting distracted :yikes:

[karatekid]

Granted, but now you distract other people.

I wish that I knew what to wish for.

[jmanela]

granted, you then wish for everything you ever wanted and then you go crazy trying to find disorder.

I wish i could have open book finals.

[Brian Ha]

Granted but you took the wrong book to class

I wish I could punch Jon G in the face right now and everybody would like it!

[-42-]

Everybody loves it when you punch Jon G in the face. They love it even more when he punches you back harder.

I wish I could eat some *^%&*! lunch.

[RoseJ]

You do, but you get food poisoning and die.

I wish that I had a robotics meeting tonight.

[ReapersRule]

Granted, but you can't go.

I wish my team could pay the full cost for Atlanta for everyone on the team.

[Brian Ha]

Granted but then the plane you guys are on gets attacked by terrorists and you all die... except for the robot.

I wish i had 10 grand so we can go down to Alanta.

[All Bones]

Granted, but then we all get mugged when we land, the muggers take the robot for parts, and we don't manage to make it to the competition on time. Thank goodness my parents were in the bathroom and we're all able to survive


I wish that people on my team would stop randomly imitating Charlie the Unicorn

[Samheartsrobots]

They stop imitating Charlie, but instead start singing "Never Gonna Give You Up". You soon become very irritable because you keep getting Rick Rolled. You snap one late night while building the robot and start beating it up. You have destroyed your robot and are kicked off the team. So fun!

I wish that I had more time to do my homework tonight.

[spacewolfx]

you get more time, but then your desk catches on fire, and your homework is destroyed

I wish that my school would get a new Chemistry lab

[EricH]

Granted. Somebody does an experiment as soon as it opens, and the experiment goes horribly wrong. The resulting explosion destroys the entire town. Now see what you did...


I wish the my school's friction stir welder would be fixed tomorrow.

[spacegy4]

Granted, but it breaks beyond repair the day after.

I wish my school computers were not crippled by deep freeze software

[-42-]

Granted, they are crippled because they are school computors, which suck.

I wish for a nice steaming cup of STFU.

[ReapersRule]

Granted, no one ever talks to you again.

I wish I would be driver this year.

[spacewolfx]

Granted but then you crash the robot on your first drive, and your team shuns you forever

I wish that my team would all be able to understand my ideas.

[-42-]

Granted, they scoff at your moronic ideas.

I wish for some quiet.

[zachtheman]

But then your robots would turn on you and kill your followers, thus making a new age ruled by robots:ahh:


I wish i was able to break a world record:D

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but then you never have peace for the rest of you life. You need up in a mental hospital because you get depression.

I wish that there was peace on earth

[timytamy]

Granted but the sky's will be filled with war.

I wish for something.

[ReapersRule]

Granted, you get a red card. Good job!

I wish for $1 million

[spacewolfx]

Granted, but then the government taxes you 102% on that million, thus making you lose your own money

I wish that i had a pet winged monkey

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but you house starts to smell like a monkey

I wish that it wasn't raining (or snowing, sleeting, etc.)

[timytamy]

Granted but now the world is flooded.

I wish for a robot.

[LightWaves1636]

Granted but it doesn't work and you find out ship date is tomorrow!

I wish for a FRC regional in alaska!

[delsaner]

Granted. All of the robots freeze up, and they are unable to play. You now are stuck at a competition with robots that cant play, and you can no longer bear the cold.

I wish i was in shape.

[Vermeulen]

Granted, but now you're trapped in an isocahedron that's in an active game of D&D.

I wish I had 6 more weeks of build season.

[ReapersRule]

Granted, but on the last day the robot dies. You need to build an entire new robot!

I wish I had the money to pay to go to Atlanta.

[Luke Pike]

Granted, but when you get there, you find that they moved the competition to the new city a year early and you miss it.

I wish I could finish my Computer Engineering degree quickly and start working on elaborate computer/robot designs!

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but you fail your final exam and have to start all over again.

I wish that this wish is corrupted...

[Captain banana]

A magic genie suddenly switches places with you and then uses his wish to prevent you from ever making another wish.

I wish I had a banana...

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted. But then you choke on the banana and die. Therefore, you can no longer participate in FIRST, or on CD.

I wish that my team's robot was done today.

[jmanela]

granted, but then your robot comes to your regional broken apart in more pieces than you build it with :) .

I wish the program would just do what i say.

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but it works so good that Microsoft buys it from you. You get launched into stardom because people like the program so much. You end up in a mental hospital for the rest of your life due to the complications from being famous.

I wish that I wasn't stressed.

[Captain banana]

Granted, but then you become so relaxed and lazy, you fail your classes, miss the 6 week deadline, and lose your boy/girlfriend.

I wish I had $1,000,000,000.

[Miriam]

You get said 1,000,000,000 dollars by selling of your organs.

I wish I had a good book to read.

[Puffin]

Granted, but this good book is Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Wittgenstein, and ur brain IMPLODES!

I wish, i wish, that i was a fish.

[LightWaves1636]

Granted but you didn't wish for the water.

I wish for a better render farm for the animation.

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but you have to move to the middle of Africa, and don't have an FRC team to do animation for!

I wish that I had more time to read during build season.

[Vermeulen]

Granted, but now you get to proofread the manual for all eternity.

I wish I had a bolt of the correct specifications

[KarenH]

Granted, now you have the right bolt, but you don't have a nut of the correct specifications, and this fact drives you nuts, and you bolt out of the room and get run over by 10 English teachers on skateboards.

I wish my team had all the robot parts by now.

[buddyb]

Granted, but all parts disintegrate upon touching them with anything.

I wish I had a giant cookie. :3

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but you eat the said cookie to quickly and fall into a sugar sleep. You miss the rest of build season.

I wish that America wins the medal count. (Overall and Gold)

[Yppiz]

US wins the medal count, and then is found to have cheated and leaves in worldwide shame.

I wish I had the armies of Mordor at my and only my command.

[Ryan Simpson]

You do, but they still don't exist.

I wish for nothing.

[mayde]

And you get that nothing, in the form of pure anti-matter, which consumes you entirely. You then find yourself coming out the back end of a black hole above Mars, at which point your head explodes from lack of oxygen.
so there.


i wish the cake wasn't a lie.

[onecoolc]

Granted. However, having the cake NOT be a lie horribly destroys everything we know to be true of the internet, making it possible to WIN the game. And then the world implodes.

I wish the Chairman's Award essay would just edit itself!

[jamesdahlstrom]

the chairmans award essay will not edit itself but all of your good dreams will to become nightmares!

I wish it was legal to carry a sword around like in the middle ages.

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but then everyone starts having duels, and the whole world's population is wiped out. The only exceptions are President Obama, Michelle Obama, and Kevin Rudd.

I wish that I was President

[buddyb]

Granted. You are now president of the territory of your house, which has declared war against the entire world.

I wish our code was bug-free.

[KarenH]

Granted, your code is completely, reliably, delightfully bug-free. However, an army of living bugs has invaded your robot-building area, especially the computers, and they've crawled inside and fried your computers, robot, and OI. You now have nothing on which to run the code.

I wish I could figure out what to plant in my yard.

[Jubungo42]

You decide to to plant a venus fly trap to get rid of the bug infestation, but over time, an over passing plane carrying nuclear waste, drips some of its waste onto the plant causing it to mutate and eat your house.


I wish Chuck Norris was my father

[EricH]

Granted. It's a Brazilian Pepper and privets. (Great, now I have to deal with them too... Now look what you did!)

And for Jubungo42, he is, but every time you admit it, you get swarmed by the media and knocked around a bit by your dad.

I wish that my homework was done...

[zahariel913]

granted, but as cliche as it is your dog ate it


i wish i had a playstation 3....

[mayde]

Granted.

But then it explodes. and after it explodes and you are left crying in the rubble when suddenly Cloud Strife comes from nowhere and summons Leviathan, who washes the ashes and rubble away, leaving you with nothing to bury. Sadly, this all occured right as the world is ending, leaving you completely unable to replace it.

I wish that my team didn't argue so much over trivial things.

[jamesdahlstrom]

Granted but then the anger of every person comes out and all their heads explode and all die.


I wish that our kicker could attach itself to our robot.

[Cl4p-tp]

granted but in doing so, it spontaniolsy combust and you are left with ashes...






i wish i had a pony

[[TBT] Phoenix]

Granted, but the pony bites your hand off!







I wish that prince of persia would work on my 360

[[TBT] Vampire]

Granted, but a hobo steals your xbox.
xD
Inside story, but it happened to me at Portland Regional last year
Got it back though :D

I wish I wasn't moving to Coeur d Alene, Idaho...
:(

[Rangel(kf7fdb)]

but then everyone and everything moves to Idaho and everyone and everything from Idaho moves to where your at.

I wish I could know everything in the universe and am able to control that much information so that I wont overload.

[Phoenix Spud]

but then everyone and everything moves to Idaho and everyone and everything from Idaho moves to where your at.

I wish I could know everything in the universe and am able to control that much information so that I wont overload.

Granted, but then you become a smarty pants. No one hangs around you cause you "know it all."

I wish that everyone on our team could skip school this week.

[jamesdahlstrom]

granted, but then you have a test every day that week and you all fail school

I wish my schools techies where more lenient.

[Brian Ha]

To grant that wish they all died and now u have no techies. Arent they lenient?

I wish that i could wish a better wish then this wish now because im so stupid that i wished for a wish lik this.

[All Bones]

Granted, you wish for a million dollars (a much better wish than the one you just did by the way) and donate a couple thousand to a charity to help the environment, but it turns out that the creator of the charity turns out to be a greedy jerk who hires someone to kill you in your sleep so he can steal the rest of your money, and you end up being buried in some random New York drug addicts backyard

I wish that I had more cheetos :)

[spacewolfx]

Granted, you find another bag of Cheetos to find that they are actually an off brand made of cardboard. you nearly die of indigestion.

I wish that the pneumatics system could hold pressure for 10 minutes.

[Captain banana]

Granted, but then everything else on the robot falls apart and the system is useless.

I wish I knew that some of my friends use this website.

[Miriam]

They will use it too blacklist you on the sight.

I wish i had a sandwich.

[Jubungo42]

turns out that the sandwhich was poisonous and you were killed because of it.


i wish for a Jew to handle my money problems...
(lets see if any of you get where this is from)

[zahariel913]

wish granted

but the jew actually takes all your your money because you used jew to handle your money problems(thats what they do)
(btw i saw the family guy episode)


*i whish i had a snickers bar*

[[TBT] Vampire]

Granted, but the German Hunger guy doesn't actually go away and he annoys you forever.

I wish I could divide by zero...

[Captain banana]

Granted. But then you get unwanted attention from the paparazzi and scientific community and you explode from the stress.

I wish for a robot that makes pancakes!!!

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted. But you die from malnutrition. It turns out pancakes aren't that good for you.

I wish that there was Lift (a soft drink) in the USA.

[jamesdahlstrom]

granted but on the way over it get infected with zombie cancer and we all die and turn to zombies


I wish I had better internet that dial-up.

[zahariel913]

granted but your computer explodes from the sudden change in speed and btw....ZOMBIE CANCER!! YEAH!!

i wish i could create porcelain tigers when i wanted to where i was looking...

[[TBT] Vampire]

Granted, but then EVERYONE gets the new google internets except for you and it's the ratio equivalent of high speed to dial up.

I wish that it was Friday...

[ChaosX73]

Sure, you just have to live the the rest of the days of the week first (obviously:rolleyes: ).

I wish I would remember to check my e-mail, forum, chiefdelphi, etc...

[jamesdahlstrom]

you do, but now, chief delphi wont sent you anything

I wish our bot would go together faster

[cheezburger]

it does, but then it falls apart at the competition.

i wish that nobody would corrupt my wishes

[Jubungo42]

Only one of your wishes will not be corrupted (not this one) but all of your other wishes after that one has been corrupted 10 fold.

i wish i had a cheezburger

[jmanela]

granted, but as you begin to munch on the cheesburger you realize that you are lactose interolerant and spit out the cheesburger into a vad of toxic waste which turns the cheesburger into a genetically altered superburgers that eat all the cows in the world so there will be no more meat, or cheese for your burger.

I wish i wouldn't post on chiefdelphi @ midnight.

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but now you post at 2 AM!!!

I wish that I wasn't sick that way I could have gone to today's meeting. It is the last one for the build season for our team.

[cheezburger]

granted but while you are there you break the robot and your team hates you now

i wish there was a way to make lolcode work on our robot

[J93Wagner]

Granted, only that it only works for your drive! Your kicker mechanism and ball control mechanism get summarily messed up.

I wish for a magical elixer that keeps me awake with any present/future side effects.

[klinnastruth]

Granted, but after drinking the elixir, you are transported to the past, where you meet your great great grandfather, Ulysses S. Grant. Upon meeting him, you accidentally distract him from the Battle of Vicksburg, causing him to be killed by a stray bullet. Thus leading to the South winning the Civil War, the United States forever being called the "Confederate States of America," and therefore causing you to never be born, robotics to never be founded, and your precious elixir to never be wished for.

I wish I had a llama.

[jamesdahlstrom]

granted, but then the llama eats you and your family

I wish robotics lasted all year long at my school instead of about 6 weeks (not including Portland and Atlanta....the competitions we're going to)

[Phoenix Spud]

Robotics takes over your life, and you become a social outcast.

I wish that the doctor could see me today in stead of tomorrow, and that he will give me antibiotics so that I am better for our trip back to NH.

[cheezburger]

he does, but something goes wrong with the anitbiotics and you die

i wish that school would be cancelled just for today so i don't have to present my powerpoint

[zahariel913]

granted but your powerpoint is deleted along with all data relating to it from existence completley to keep to the law of equal exchange and now you have to spend the day making a new powerpoint

i wish i didnt have Crohn's disease.....=(

[Jubungo42]

Granted but everyone else in the world with Crohn's disease gets jealous and murders you in front of million of people just to make the point that if one person gets cured from a disease, everyone else must be as well


i wish that for world peace.... HAHAHAHA i make myself laugh... no what i really want to wish for is endless cake. :)

[[TBT] Vampire]

Granted but it's all holographic.

I wish our robot works today, and for no one to corrupt this wish :)

[JP Carlin]

your robot works perfectly. but its last years robot with parts scavenged from this years robot.

and i wish for everything wrong with every other teams robot

[KarenH]

i wish i didnt have Crohn's disease.....=(
[not an entry] I, for one, don't want to corrupt your wish. I support CCFA (http://www.ccfa.org/).

[KrakatoaCoo]

but the other robots became better than yours


I wish for a lifetime supply of garlic bread that never gets soggy, stale, hard, frozen; the garlic is not poisoned or rotten; and the supply comes in a delivery truck that never crashes or gets damaged and comes each and every month and never will ever crash into my house; the bread will be stored neatly in a room and the stacks will never fall on anyone or get infested with other creatures and insects; all of the bread gives no calories or bad things for the body magically.


lol BEAT THAT!

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but then you get sick of Garlic Bread.

I wish that the USA wins the medal count in a legitimate fashion. That none of the athletes get hurt in the process, and that they all have a great time. I wish they would then realise that we are just as much "athletes" as they are. The only difference is that we use our minds, and they use their bodies. Then, FIRST gets more well known and saves the world from a lack of engineers. Because we all engineer these incredible solutions, and all know each other from our "old" FIRST days, we cause world peace. The world becomes a wonderful safe place again.

[KrakatoaCoo]

But the athletes die after the olympics and First is bought out by GE.

I wish for nothing! HAH!

[JP Carlin]

you get absolutely nothing.

you are forced to live in a large whitewashed bubble for the rest of your life with no distractions or human contact.

[Brian Ha]

because u wish for nothing u end up in a black hole and are stuck there for eternity because the hole shrunk when u got halfway in but its sucking in so much oxygen that u live for a thousand more years.

i wish that the guy above my post was smart enough to wish for somin.

[spacewolfx]

Granted. The Guy above you is smart enough to wish that you didn't exist...POOF!

I wish that my parents would stop irritating me about my grades.

[Graham Donaldson]

Granted, but now without your parents' nagging your grades slack off and you are stuck in high school for the rest of your life. And trust me - college is way more fun.

I wish differential equations made more sense.

[cheezburger]

granted, but then your teachers just give you something even more confusing to work on.

i wish that nobody will ever post on this thread after me for the rest of time

[Brian Ha]

Granted but your post gets deleted first so u dont ever get posted.

I wish that i wasn't such a nerd and that i had a better grade in Trig(which i have a 92 in right now, which sucks.)

[Jubungo42]

Granted but all of your other grades then drop below 50% and you have to repeat next year.

I wish that i would not be so bored.

[cws1101]

but after doing everything you wanted to you run out of things to do and you get even more bored

i wish i had a cookie

[JackG]

If you had a cookie, then you'd ask for a glass of milk! And if you asked for a glass of milk, you'd ask for a straw, and then you'd get caught up in a infinitely recursive loop, doomed to fill the pages of picture books forever.

I cats would actually talk aloud in lolspeak.

[cheezburger]

granted, but since they can communicate with each other, they are able to put together a massive army of lol and they take over the world. then they destroy all humans because they are inferior to cats.

I wish i had less homework.

[The Farmer]

Okay, but because you have less homework, the test suddenly becomes worth 100% of your grade and you don't know any of the material because there was no homework for you.

I wish that would stop getting sick

[Zanfardino2892]

Granted, but now you are forced to go to school and work and everyone uses you to cover their shifts because you had to many sick days and you end up stressed out, failing classes and the government is taking all your money in taxes!!!

I wish I had a pet hedgehog.

[delsaner]

Granted, but he stole all of the rings within your household, and he sped off within a blue flash.

I wish I had my voice back, from the regional.

[Kurt W.]

granted but your dog gets it and all he does is ask for walks and treats and causes you to go insane.

I wish our robot won nationals

[cheezburger]

you do, but then the officials notice something on your robot that violates the rules and you lose the title.

i wish the voices in my head would go away...

[flippy147852]

granted, but then you are sent to a kindergarten classroom for the rest of your life and the little kids in there will never shut up. EVER.

I wish that blackra1n would work on iPod os 3.1.3

[Brian Ha]

granted but then ur ipod blows up in your face. hah ha

I wish i had a chicken sandwich

[Captain banana]

Granted, but then an eagle swoops in out of nowhere and snatches your beloved cookie!

I wish I had vanilla pudding! (for those of you who were thinking about all kinds of nasty stuff related to chocolate pudding. That means you!)

[cheezburger]

before i get to the wish, you do realize he wished for a chicken sandwich, not a cookie right?

anyway, granted, but then you trip and fall and spill your pudding all over the ground. You use the 5 second rule, but then you get sick and die because the mythbusters proved that the 5 second rule is a lie.

i wish i didn't have to read To Kill a Mockingbird

[flippy147852]

granted, but you now have to read A Separate Peace, Fahrenheit 451, and Little Women, all by tomorrow

I wish i could function normally without sleep

[mayde]

Granted. You function normally without sleep, but after a few days, you are bored enough to take a nap. Suddenly, you awake to discover that you slept so long (and by some sort of magic, i suppose) that you survived a nuclear war and it is fifty years in the future. You then embark on an adventure to gather the last remnants of humankind! You fall in love. At the wedding, everyone dies but you. Following the (failed) wedding, you swear your vengeance on those who destroyed everything you loved. Fifty more years later, and you are really old, without ever accomplishing anything. The End.




I wish that i had a cake right here.

[Brian Ha]

u do but then there is a time bomb in the cake and right when u start to cut it, it explodes on u.

now i wish for my chicken sandwich again.

[All Bones]

Granted, but it's a raw chicken sandwhich and you get salmonella =(

I wish that it would start raining root beer (and it wasn't sticky)

[starjedi300]

Granted. but the raining root bear was infected with a very highly contaigious virus that cause people to mutate into pokemon. about 10 years later, the virus has spread to all 50 states of America making all the population of the United States as pokemon.

l wish that Starcraft 2 will just come out already.

[cheezburger]

it comes out but it stinks and is full of gliches.

i wish public schools were more competent

[gloomy_lion]

Granted. But in order to fulfill it, taxes were raised 5000% and a ginormous bureaucracy was set up, preventing anything else from getting done.

I wish that I had more self-confidence.

[cheezburger]

you get more self confidence, but as a result you pay no attention to the mistakes in your plans and you royally screw up your life.

i wish it hadn't rained today.

[KarenH]

It didn't rain today. Not only that, but you get a climate like Los Angeles, and it doesn't rain all summer. All the vegetation dries up, forest fires break out, and while fire crews are flying aerial drops, two helicopters collide in midair. One lands on your house, destroying it and your family, and another lands on the room where you build your robot. Since your school doesn't have the money to replace the room and the tools, your robotics team folds. Too bad.

I wish I had a notebook computer.

[EricH]

Granted. You waste even MORE time playing computer games than you already did on the desktop computer (assuming that's even possible, of course).:p

I wish for more wishes...

[gloomy_lion]

Granted. You get more wishes, but then people start noticing that you can make any problem magically go away, so they start begging you to solve their own problems. At first, you fulfill their requests, but the sheer amount of people asking you for help overwhelms you. You can't can't take it anymore and you snap, ending up in an insane asylum, wishing for infinite amounts of ice cream and teddy grahams.

I wish I had more time.

[cheezburger]

you have more time, but you waste it on all the silly threads on chief delphi

i wish is wish i was a fish

[ChaosX73]

Sure thing, but the you wouldn't get your Cheezburger...

I wish my birthday was on Friday so I could see Clash of the Titans with my friends already!

[cheezburger]

granted, but then the theater burns down and you can't go see the movie.

i wish my marble sorter for my POE class hadn't epic failed.

[j.cole]

Failure is good besides that project was easy.

I wish I had a 3D scanner.

[ReapersRule]

Granted. Someone from the future comes to this time to bring it to you, but then it is taken away and disassembled to study the parts.

I wish www.thebluealliance.net worked.

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but then the President shuts down the internet. No one in the USA can view any web page.

I wish the GDC would come out with a game hint!

[RoboDesigners]

Granted, but the hint keeps you awake continously until kickoff, and you can no longer think about anything, and are therefore kicked off your robotics team.

I wish that RobotC was allowed in FLL.
(so much easier to read!)

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted. But then the nine year olds can't understand it. FLL participation plummets and FIRST can no longer support it. It is canceled.

I wish my cold would go away in time for TEDx Youth@Sydney next week.

[Kurt W.]

granted but you catch the flu and a bedridden for two weeks.

I wish that people would stop making the joke that the next game is going to involve water. It gets really old.

[Timz3082]

granted, but the game actually involves the acidic fluid sulfuric acid.

wishes that all computers could render in real time.

[Vermeulen]

Granted, but objects would only render in the same shade of hot-pink-mixed-with-brown.

I wish we would get the second game hint.

[ChaosX73]

Sure, but then you figure out the game and you are assassinated for knowing too much.

I wish I could get itunes to install on my new laptop.

[Kurt W.]

granted but ipod gets a whole new system and in order to convert things back to your ipod it costs $100 per app or you need to buy the newest version for $5000

I wish that it was saturday (kickoff :D)

[RoboDesigners]

Granted, but kickoff is canceled, and you have to wait until next year.

I wish for there was a 48 hour day. (And that the human body could cope with it! :))

[Taylor]

Granted. Welcome to Alaska.

I wish I had a hot ham and cheese sandwich.

[ChaosX73]

Granted, but you drop it on your crotch and you never have kids.

I wish this thread would never end!:D

[KamaluNg]

Thread Closed.

I wish i could eat until i blew up.

[J93Wagner]

Granted. It's called screwing up in the shop by not following safety.

I wish that drive trains that use mechanums didn't lose 29.3% of their power just because of their nature... (Kudos to anyone who can explain explain why I specified that number! :p )

[ChaosX73]

Granted, but you don't realize this has happened and you over compensate for the change in your programming. Your bot continues to fly around the arena, destroying other bots. Nobody can understand why, but they have a feeling you had something to do with it; you are promptly assassinated.

Oh, and your team doesn't win the competition.

I wish my laptop was faster.

[1168Programmer]

I wish my laptop was faster.

Granted. But your laptop gets to be so fast that it starts thinking for itself and develops into a silicon based life form that refuses to do your bidding. Instead it gets friendly with the cRIO and an entire species of silicon based life forms is born. They subsequently form their own FRC team and beat you (and everyone else) in the regionals and final competitions. Then they take over the world and turn humans into their slaves.

I wish I didn't need to sleep so I could actively use all 24 hours in the day.

[ChaosX73]

Okay, but everyone thinks of you as a freak. Your parents are frustrated and psychologists are stumped. When you get married, your wife (or husband) thinks it's creepy that you won't sleep with him/her. You become depressed and don't know what to do because your brain is no longer coming to terms with your own existence because it isn't getting the rest it deserves. Good luck winning the competition now...

I wish we could discover the zero-point energy field so we could have infinite energy and wouldn't have to rely on gasoline and coal.

[KamaluNg]

Everything you learned was a lie.

I wish i was as cool as ChaosX73

[flyingcrayons]

Wish granted, but then you get really cold and then you get sick. aww :(

I wish that week one competitions could be here already.

[Phoenix Spud]

Granted, but then you keep getting colder. You end up getting frostbite.

I wish no one else would be injured because of the queensland floods (http://www.google.com.au/search?q=queensland+floods&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a#q=queensland+floods&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=SRX&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&prmd=ivnsu&source=lnms&tbs=nws:1&ei=SosvTaulM8alcN3boPEH&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=4&ved=0CBoQ_AUoAw&fp=16f30876df44d2e0).

[flyingcrayons]

granted but then (how do you horribly corrupt someone wishing that people wont be injured?)

i wish that i could have some apple pie right now, maybe from mcdonalds :D

[Bmarquez]

wish granted, but you bite into it only to realize the shipment of apples has been infected with maggots and mealworms destined to become gecko feed

I wish i had more geckos!

[CNettles11]

You have so many geckos that you cannot move around and/or escape your own home.

[Bmarquez]

Your wish isnt granted (you didnt put one D=) so your attempt to kill this thread has failed!

I want every FIRST team to make it to the competition without safety issues.

[Jubungo42]

i do not understand the word "want". plz try again...

i wish i was a real boy

[J.Warsoff]

You can be a real boy. You just have to sell your soul to Dean Kamen and sacrifice your social life to your robotics team.

I wish that wishes would actually come true.

[RoboDesigners]

They do come true! (but they just are horribly corrupted!) :p

I wish to qualify for the VRC World Championship...

[ChaosX73]

Sure thing, oh, but with one exception. Instead of the VRC championship, you qualify for the biggest hotdog pie eating contesting in the world. You and your team eat so many hotdog pies that you all explode and therefore can never qualify for any silly VRC championships.

I wish people were as weird as me so we could all finally understand each other.

[J.Warsoff]

Your in FIRST, we're all weird here XD

I wish that I had a segway

[RoboDesigners]

Granted. But you lose control and drive through a glass door.

I wish that there was no evidence against my debate case.

[cheezburger]

Fine, but then all the evidence FOR your debate case also vanishes. You still lose.

I wish my teams holonomic program would work.

[flyingcrayons]

granted, but then your robot bursts into flames

i wish to have snow tomorrow!

[ChaosX73]

Sure, one stinkin' snowflake.

I wish my teammates would work harder.

[cheezburger]

Fine, but while working so hard they screw up your robot.

I wish I had a cheeseburger from five guys

[flyingcrayons]

only four guys come to deliver your cheeseburger. aww (and yes i do know what 5 guys is haha)

i wish that it wasnt 10 degrees outside

[Bmarquez]

its not 10 degrees outside.... its -25 degrees outside

i wish our engineering lab was warm...

[ChaosX73]

There are now tons of soft couches and dynamic yet artful lighting. People say high and are nice to you and everything is done slowly and calmly. See, the atmosphere is warmer! But if you want an increase in temperature, sorry, but that actually decreased by 30 degrees because the designers who delivered your couches and installed your lighting accidentally left the door open last night when they were done.

I wish my hair was more distinctly red, like it should be.

[Team2264]

Oskar worthy will not allow this to happen. (I don't actualy know who that is:) .)


I wish that I am able to build and rule my own empire of robots!:D

ya but than they would takeover your empire and burn it to the ground.

I wish that our robot was complete

[Miriam]

But then it would suck.

I wish we werent having BBQ Pork sandwiches for dinner.

[David Sahud]

you eat nothing but when it's gone you realize it was kosher :mad:


i wish i would live forever

[Nick Bouressa]

You do, but you get a horrible disease that cripples you allowing you to do nothing.

I wish build season was longer...

[ChaosX73]

Yeah, but then you'd waste even more your time reading and responding to morbid threads like this one.

I wish people would corrupt my original wish and not bypass it for someone else's.:rolleyes:

[mangagirl]

Granted

But then squirrels would mistaken your hair for one of their own and attack your head :p

I wish i had more time for online games

[ratdude747]

but the only games that exist are based on hello kitty. MEOW!

I wish I had a new laptop...
