Ah, but Connecticon lasts until 6:00pm Sunday, and you can stay there at all hours of the night provided you don't sleep.
Then it's Friday, but Connecticon is canceled due to a sudden earthquake which topples the building it is in, or if it is not in a building a building around it which proceeds to crush all preparations made for it.
I wish the next post will be as off-topic as possible! *devious grin*
You lose all fear. A series of escalating stunts of derring-do culminate in your attempting to simultaneously tame and juggle lions while freefalling from the lower ionosphere and solving a Rubik's Cube. Without a parachute.
I wish that every time I spent money, the exact same amount of money would materialize in my bank account. This replacement money would be generated anew, and not taken from someone else's funds.
Your money appears magically. However, under the basis of the monetarist economic system, this causes the economy to collapse as the amount of money in circulation can no longer be controlled.
You fly like superman for a while, get cocky about your new powers, and have a friend shoot you in the eye, needless to say it doesn't go as planned...
Edit: No one can grant wishes and the genies of the world become normal people stuck in lamps, and when they get out they hunt you down and kill you in your sleep.
You become Kira, holder of the death note; after a while you go mad with power, think you're a god and finally are tracked down by the three detectives L, Mello, and Near only to be put in prison.
I wish for a pizza that I will think is delicious.
You suddenly feel like dancin'. You sit up and rush out to do this and promptly twist your ankles. You are frustrated over the fact that you still feel like dancin' but can't.
I wish there were more clever wish corruptions in this thread.

As the words leave your mouth, loud klaxons fill the air. The sky grows dark with the silhouettes of thousands of strange flying craft. The spacecraft (as you would later understand them to be) move quickly through the atmosphere, not making a sound as they descend to the Earth's surface. The nations of the world attempt to retaliate with all the weaponry at their disposal, but the explosives detonate harmlessly upon some type of force field surrounding the entire perimeter of the fleet. As the people of Earth gather around the landing sites, a representative steps forth from one of the craft. Though his form is unlike any life you have seen before and you can discern no mouth for normal speech, you hear him speaking in perfect English:
"We come to your planet with a warning! A great evil is approaching, one against which your people will have no defense! We can take a small contingent in our ships to keep the species alive, but will not be able to save the entirety of your race. The decision as to which citizens will be saved for propagation is not one to be made lightly. We give you one month to decide who will survive the destruction of your planet."
A panel of scientists and the leaders of the nations convene to make this terrible decision. They start with the brightest individuals, those who can continue humanity's efforts to better their knowledge of the Universe. Genetic profiling and screening helps to select others in a random lottery to weed out diseases and shortcomings not beneficial to the survival of the species. On the final day before the deadline, you eagerly watch the news for the last lottery. All your friends and family have been selected and have already boarded the ships. You sit alone in an eerily empty town, awaiting your fate.
The final number is called. It's not your number.
As the ships lift off from the planet's surface and head for parts unknown, it occurs to you how unusual it is for everyone else in your town to have been selected, but not yourself. Since it's the end of the world anyway, you think it best to try and meet up with the rest of civilization. Perhaps a defense plan has been mounted, or a means to hide underground and wait out the impending destruction. You hop in your car and drive. You are unable to find any working radio stations; your efforts are met only with static. Several hours pass without any sign of civilization.
You pull over to a gas station to refuel. Off in the distance, you spot another craft loading on a final group of people before takeoff. Your heart skips a beat. Perhaps they have room for one more person! You quickly dash across the open field and reach the craft just as the last of the group is being shuffled aboard and call out to one of the alien guards.
"Er, that is to say..." The guard shuffles nervously, attempting to avoid your quizzical gaze. "The thing is, we're all booked. No room aboard. Sorry!"
You protest. Surely, you reason to the guard, there must be room for me. A little discomfort during a long trip to the stars must be worth saving another life!
"Hoo boy, this is awkward. The thing is, the lottery was just to avoid any unpleasantness. We already knew who we were taking with us."
The guard leans in closer.
"Don't tell anyone I said this to you, but the truth of the matter is that you're the only person we aren't taking with us. No hard feelings, but humanity was tired of living on the same planet as you. They've sworn up and down that it's not you, it's them. It would have been weird to force you to leave, so they thought it would be better if they went elsewhere."
The weight of the situation hits you hard. You manage to utter softly that at least you don't have to worry about the bluff with the great evil coming to destroy the planet.
"Oh, well that's happening too. Good luck with that, by the way!" The alien quickly shuffles into the vessel as it lifts into the air and begins to depart.
You stand in the field, dumbfounded.
"Hey you!" the alien shouts from above. "If it's any consolation, the people of Earth wanted to leave you with this movie. You know, to keep you entertained in your final moments of existence." It tosses you a DVD before closing the window and leaving for the heavens forever.
You hold the DVD in your hand for a moment in quiet contemplation. Slowly you make your way back to the gas station. Through the open door to the register, you see a television set with DVD player, and decide that you might as well see what humanity thought was so important for you to see. You insert the DVD and hit the play button.
Everyone on the forum begins to come up with more elegant and successively longer methods of corrupting wishes. It turns into a competition, and everyone becomes obsessed with it, spending the rest of their lives in fron of a computer, thinking up ways to ruin someones wish.
I wish I could come up with some good wishes, I've been struggling for at least the last three posts.

You become more miserable as you haven't made a good wish. (LOL).
I wish that I lived in the world of Dragonball and that I had insane super powers like they do.
The wish has to be granted, with that last one, you didn't grant his wish. You must corrupt this wish and grant it such as:
You know what wish to come up with, all the bases are covered and no one can corrupt it so the forum falls out of the public's general interest, so you are forced to go to another wish forum to try to get it corrupted, no one on the internet can corrupt it so you are banned from every websites with forums on the internet.
You get your better portal themed avatar: but the day after it is equipped its photobucket bandwith is exceeded and you can not find it anywhere else, nor can you find your old one which you neglected to save, you are left with no portal avatar.

That's what I'm hoping for. I'M TAKIN' ON THE MAN.
Oh noes! I'm not on topic!

Edit: CRAP, that was terrible timing!!!
I wish that every time I spent money, the exact same amount of money would materialize in my bank account. This replacement money would be generated anew, and not taken from someone else's funds.
I wish I could fly like superman.
I wish nobody can grant wishs.
Edit: No one can grant wishes and the genies of the world become normal people stuck in lamps, and when they get out they hunt you down and kill you in your sleep.
I wish I could start ice skating lessons already!
I wish I could decide who lives and who dies.
I wish for a pizza that I will think is delicious.
I wish I could feel like dancin'.

Huh?
Dude, read the rules! It's in the first post!
I read it but I'm still slightly confused. :P

I wish I wasn't late for dinner...
I wish I had a better Portal-themed avatar.
I wish I had a can of silly string.
I wish I had an iPhone 3G with a free contract with unlimited texts, minutes and data bandwidth.
