Corrupt A Wish

Post Reply New Topic

Granted, you take 20 courses per quarter and complete your masters in half a year, however you have stressed yourself to the limits and need a break for a few years, and also financial aid needs to start being repaid by the end of the year, of which there is plenty to pay now.

Actually, these majors are offered where I live. A bachelors in Latin is offered at the University of Minnesota, and an Associates in Video game design is offered at the same vocational college that I am acquiring my Bachelor's in Accounting from. Two separate colleges though.




Granted, but at the same time as you flip that quarter, Q takes you into a parallel universe where Santa Anna conquered North America.


Latin, as in English, allows for the construction of nouns from verb forms... of which the verbal form is more likely to have been developed first. Anyhow. Also, just because I do not start my sentence with the two exact words "I wish" does not make a statement of hope or intention any less of a wish, want, or desire.


@ Tallyman: Granted, however you must travel back in time approximately 2,500 years ago and live in Greece.


I wish to continue studying Latin, and perhaps incorporate it into a sci-fi strategy game sometime.

Granted; each work costs a penny.

I wish I can be who I really am.

Granted, you are now a cartoon sketch with a round head and elliptical goatee beard

I wish the slugs and snails do not eat the vegetables in my garden.

Granted; they eat whatever's in your fridge instead.

I wish I have unlimited food in our fridge.

Granted, however all of it expired as of the year 1909AD.



I wish to be able to play chess as well as Jonathan Sarfati does.

Granted; you lose to everyone else, as everyone becomes better than Sarfati.

I wish no one contradicts my statements.

Granted, Mr No-one no longer contradicts your statements, but everyone else does.

I wish I could download the French language into my brain.

@Tallyman: Granted, but the pronunciation files are corrupted so you speak French with an Italian accent and a Russian pronunciation of phonemes.

@Imperious: If everyone exceeded Dr Sarfati, then everyone would have to be incredibly intelligent as well, to beat someone who can win ten games and draw two when playing blindfolded against all of them simultaneously.







I wish to own the Enterprise NCC 1701-D.

Granted; the file is corrupted, however, and you can't open it.

I wish everyone in WP loves me.

Granted, it is yours. It cost you an arm and a leg and will need rebuilding - why did you buy it just after a major battle?

I wish I lived 500 years in the future.

Granted; you are now like the Highlander--faced with the agony of immortality.

I wish I can be the most prestigious person in history.

Granted, you become the most prestigious person in history by giving away all your belongings and going to help the poor and needy for the rest of your life in some cholera ridden hell hole in Africa.

I wish I could have a roast beef dinner today.

Granted; the roast beef is badly burnt, and you will be eating carbon for the rest of the meal.

I wish I can go until tomorrow night without sleep.

Granted, you just happen to pass someone who trips while holding a syringe full of powerful stimulants and you get the whole dose - which was apparently originally intended to wake up an elephant. I didn't know anyone could open their eyes as wide as yours are

I wish for a good nights sleep tonight.

Granted, but your good night's sleep turns out to be just a dream.

I wish that people would use the subjunctive when wishing for things.

Granted, people now use the subjunctive when wishing for things, unfortunately most of what people want is neither truly wish-able, imagined or possible so the thread comes to a grinding halt.

I wish to be the first man on Mars.
