What would you wish for if you had but one wish? You arent allowed to wish for 100 more wishes or that the genie sticks around for a while. Just one, solitary wish. (Nice eg of tautology :D)

I would wish for.........geez. I dont actually know. Have to think about it a bit yet :grumpy:

That seems a bit wasteful. Maybe a sprawling dairy farm would be more like it.
 
Haha, I wish for 10 more wishes..............and then 10 more....................................
 
Three Million Bucks.
That would give me a million to "play" with.
And two million to invest and start a "money mill" that generated enough capital to live on.
 
The world to be perfect. Of course, in a perfect world I have billions so that solves the money thing too.
 
I reckon ownership of a 100yr patent on a Perpetual Motion Machine would work well.


EDIT: Well I guess that would only work if the Machine did too :banghead:. Scrap that.

Just gimme Bruce Almighty's powers, with G-D to back me up :D
 
Good idea... now all we need is the machine to work.

But I think buying TVR and taking it to America could be a 'side business'
:lol:
 
I want peace.






















































































Okay, seriously I want some cash to purchase an electric guitar.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't be too greedy as well, I won't take a Gibson Les Paul or anything.

This one would suit me just fine :

When you do get it, have fun with it. It's a nice instrument. I've got one, except it just looks a little different. Although, I just noticed that your is a Fat Strat. That's nice, the humbucker in the bridge should give you some nice sounds. :)

okay, i just bought a pint of milk from the shop....39p, not bad..

i suppose the most helpful thing i could wish for is milions of pounds in hard cash...

that way i could make my family and friends life more comfortable...and i can get a new tooth brush...
 
Many millions of dollars. Seriously, what else is a genie good for?
 
World peace.

BWHAHAHA.

No, really, orange shoes.
 
I'd like to own TVR - the company...and through that, i'll get the cars :D
 
I would wish for the world system to work exactly the way I think it should. Objectivist "rational self interest" - believe me, there's plenty of room for freedom and individuality in that system. Way more room than there is now in some ways.

Failing that, I think I'm with Gil. I could scrape by with as little as a million, but $3m would be nice and comfortable.
 
Many millions of monetary units for wherever you live or travel to.
 
No. Wait, scratch that. I want to be king of the world.
 
if you wish for 6 billion, million pounds...everyone in the world would be a millionaire...:)
 
Better yet, I could just make them line up for hand outs. Whomever I happen to pity the most that day will get preferential treatment. The rest will have to lobby me for a bigger budget until my opinion changes, like the weather.

Every time somebody complained about something I'd make a law forbidding it. Eventually, nobody would be able to so much as take a crap without filing for a permit. Excelent.

Yeah.... King of the World.
 
king of milefiles world so that everything he wants to do has to be approved by me, or 152.5 trillioni dollars!( a la dr. evil.)
