Animals and Silly Game!
Because I feel like it!
So, here I am in Rotterdam with a sinus infection and, as the day progresses, a lot of a headache and a bit of a fever. Which is why (because of being a bit out of it due to the meds) I've decided to talk about animal stories, and challenge you, my dear chicklets, with a frivolous game. Also, Lani inspired me with her Raving Rabbids.
Today on the BBC one of the top UK stories that caught my eye was about Gertie the Goose and How She Brought to a Grinding Halt the train service between London and Stansted Airport. How sweet that the train company didn't just, you know, allow its trains to squash her, but instead company representatives were instructed to save her and take her home. Who said we live in an uncaring consumer society? Not me...
Now for the silly game. I saw it on a forum I visit regularly, and I immediately thought that the chicklets would love it. I hope I'm right. It's called Corrupt a Wish. You make a wish, then someone grants it, corrupts it, then makes their own wish. And the next person does the same...
Family Cunnah played earlier, and here's what happened...
Oh Patient One: I wish that Michelle could develop a sense of direction and never get lost again.
Me: Granted. I never get lost again, but I develop a severe case of agoraphobia and never leave the apartment ever again. I wish I won the lottery.
No-Longer-Teenager-No #1: Granted. You won a million dollars in the lottery, but because of your severe case of agoraphobia you never leave the apartment to partake in your favorite retail therapy: outletting. I wish I'd never eaten My Little Pony.
Teenager #2: Granted. You didn't eat My Little Pony. You ate slugs, instead. I wish I won Medieval II Total War.
Me (I'm cheating a bit giving myself a second turn): Granted. But the forthcoming expansion pack for Medieval II Total War was just a concept (and not a real game at all) invented to tease you. I wish that I could eat whatever I wanted without gaining weight.
You: ??
Over to you, chicklets...

Granted. Any weight you might have gained by eating anything you want will go to Callista Flockheart. I wish I didn't have another cold.

I wish I could lose weight, I swear I gain weight just by looking at a piece of chocolate cake!

Wendy--Granted. But instead of getting a cold, you get a pimple the size of Mount St. Helen's growing on your chin on the day you have a job interview/reunion/date/other major event.
I wish I didn't procrastinate so much.

Theresa - granted! But every pound you lose elsewhere increases your bra size by 1/2 cup. Tell your husband/SO that I said, 'No thanks necessary.'
Christina - granted! Now you get everything done immediately, but having nothing hanging over your head throws off your equilibrium, and you tend to veer to the left while walking.
I wish I could cook.

Lani- GRANTED! But with your new-found cooking skills, you realize that you need EVERY KITCHEN GADGET EVER INVENTED. Your collection of "kitchen crap" soon becomes so large that it takes over the entire house forcing you, Fish, and the children are forced to reside primarily in the bathroom.
I wish I had a clone to come in to work for me every day.
Posted by: Katy at April 25, 2007 10:51 AM
Granted--but your clone screws up so badly at work that you are demoted to a position so lowly it doesn't even have a title, let alone much of a paycheck. You are reduced to drawing caricatures of people on the sidewalk on weekends to make ends meet.
I wish all my bills were paid off, including my mortgage and car payments..

oops I played wrong the first time! Let's try again...
Sheri, Granted! But you quickly acrue outrageously high medical bills by getting pregnant.
I wish that I would pay more attention to rules!
Posted by: TeresaH at April 26, 2007 5:32 AM
Theresa - granted! But you pay so much attention that you forget to brush your hair, and you end up with dread locks.
I wish I had a Roomba, one of those automatic vacuums that cleans the carpet while you're at work.
Posted by: Lani at April 26, 2007 9:40 AM
Lani, granted. While you were at work your nefarious neighbor, jealous of your Roomba, broke into your house and sabotaged it.
I wish that teleportation was real so that I could transport myself to whereever I wanted in the world in a split second.
Posted by: Michelle C at April 26, 2007 12:32 PM
Michelle, Granted! But, like in the movie "Spaceballs", each time you teleport, your anatomy ends up... not quite where it should be (ie head put on backwards- for those of you who have not seen the movie.)
I wish I had a housekeeper so I never had to clean ever again!
Posted by: Katy at April 26, 2007 3:10 PM
Katy -Granted. But your housekeeper looks like Pamela Lee and thought you also hired her to be a "spousekeeper" so now you're splitting up and moving out of your clean house.
I wish I could get through college without having to do any more homework
