I wish I could...
 
...sing like the late Brad Delp (Boston). What do you wish you could do?

Dingleschmutz 10-26-2007 10:07 AM

Destroy other cars on the freeway, and have carte blanche to do so.

lumberjim 10-26-2007 10:16 AM

play guitar like Hendrix or Page.

HungLikeJesus 10-26-2007 10:48 AM

But would you skip the steps that travel in between to meet your dream?

Shawnee123 10-26-2007 10:53 AM

I wish I could walk around on the ceiling. I don't know why, it just always seemed like it would be fun.

lumberjim 10-26-2007 10:57 AM

like spider pig?

Shawnee123 10-26-2007 10:57 AM

yeah, like that!

lookout123 10-26-2007 11:00 AM

i would like the power to help the truly clueless and oblivious understand what the rest of the world sees.

I think mass genocide of the stupid would be easier though...

lookout123 10-26-2007 11:06 AM

yeah, but i'd have to get elected to office for that to be possible. it seems much more likely that i'll just develop this super power.

Impossible, they're like cockroaches...you'll never get rid of them.

Ok... "I think mass genocide of the stupid would be more fun..."

Does that work?

Shawnee123 10-26-2007 11:15 AM

Works for me! ;)

You're pretty easy to please.

fly................ Easy. Flying twice, that's the tricky part.

have a penis....... :checks profile: I'll lend you mine.

have smaller feet. ...... CHOP CHOP done.

see entire the world. ..... Go outside. Look down. That's it. Turn it over if you want to see the other side.

make everyone i love happy. .... stop loving anyone.

rid humanity of inherently evil people. ... easiest way would be to destroy all life on earth ... we'd sure be rid of them then. (EDIT: See Dings' comments.)

shoot the cunts that think they own the road. ... You can right now. Getting away with it ... harder.

own a harley. now. ... how bad do you want it? $$$

Good luck...

Not here, unfortunately. It does give you immunity to Grey's Anatomy though.

Ans 1. Well it has never come that way before but I suppose I could try ...
Ans 2. If that ever comes out I'm going straight to the doctor. No, the bank.
Ans 3. Nope, just two balls and the option of a tick attachment.
Ans 4. :checks bank account: :( apparently not.

I suppose I should have said share rather than lend.

Sundae 10-26-2007 11:31 AM

I wish I could speak a really difficult language to learn fluently and well, as if I was brought up speaking it.

Any of the Indian or Chinese languages would be cool - imagine going to a restaurant and ordering in fluent Hindi or Mandarin. Or Finnish - okay I'd have to go to Finland on holiday, but I'd like to go there anyway. Do you know that they have fifteen noun cases?

Dingleschmutz 10-26-2007 11:32 AM

Ah, I agree with that. I wish I could speak Latin, just because there's no real reason to unless you want to have sex with altar boys. Which I don't, for the record.

How about Klingon or Sindarin, then?

Dingleschmutz 10-26-2007 12:29 PM

I think I've watched 5 minutes total of Star Trek in my life, not too interested in Klingon. Sindarin would be kinda cool, though if we're really getting silly, I'd prefer to speak the black tongue of Mordor; turn the sky black, make the earth shake, and have my voice echo ominously.

Nerd spotting time:
I can speak Sauronic. Well, only the inscription from the ring ... but it's a start ...

Dingleschmutz 10-26-2007 12:35 PM

A start, sure... But can you make it sound as evil as it's supposed to? I bet you have to beat the fat death metal chicks off with a lead pipe if you can.

Cicero Talk Thai....Oh..Yes...Cicero talk Thai goooood. *"Meet the Family" voice*
SG...Asian languages are easier than you think...give it a try!
I'm also trying to learn greek and homeric greek but don't have anyone to speak to (modern greek) but my husband, that has no clue what I am saying...and quite rightly doesn't care.

Here's one SG-- It's easy. SG Suuuoooy! Stress the u because if you stress the o too much it means the opposite.(that means SG is pretty) Like soy but add a u first and stress the heck out of it. It's a hell of a lot easier than you think SG...it's the people that aren't learning the languages that say that. Give it a try first! It isn't that hard. Especially if it's just conversational.....sometimes it's easier just because these things can be very informal. Like, SG suuuoooy! You don't even have to give it a verb because the natives don't. SG pretty- is how it translates. Easy! And you sound cute when you speak it properly.


This in no way, means that I am smart. This means I will do well in Thailand which I will never go to, and can read classic greek literature that no one has any use for. They will do away with me in the above suggested genocide stupid camps for having a lot of knowledge that for the most part is useless to everyone but me.(When or if they get the chance) Yes...I never argued that I didn't qualify as stupid...

Look...I'm getting all defensive...

:)
I wish I could just keep my foot out of my mouth.

In Iowa, suuuuoy is what you hear at a hog-calling contest at the state fair. If I'm inclined to compliment a female, I should probably just stick to English.

I tried to sign up for Hindi but they'd already moved on from the Basic (beginner) level and were onto a course for people that had already had lessons. I then signed up for Mandarin but the course was cancelled. I was sneakily pleased after listening to the CD that you needed for the course - I'm not confident I'd ever have got past ni hao

Am impressed by your language skill though!

Cicero 10-26-2007 01:37 PM

hi hao nah?
shu shu'(r)
me too...

I quit mandarin when I told someone something about their grandma mother in a chinese restraunt.

I'm not going to fully quit it....but I still have to work on the others ones first.

LabRat 10-26-2007 02:08 PM

I wish I could get rid of this black lung/bronchitis combo that's been dragging me down for 3 freaking weeks now. I just want to breathe dammit!

HM thought he had a cold. It was getting pretty old for me as he did nothing but sit around the house for three weeks (okay, he played badminton, but not much else). Turns out he has asthma. Ah well, he's perky again now after getting his new inhalers this afternoon and is back on the Playstation shouting, "Referee!" at the screen. Takes all sorts.

Hope yours shifts soon.

Chocolatl 10-27-2007 11:24 PM

... quit academia and become a pastry chef.

lumberjim 10-27-2007 11:45 PM

Chocolatl, here's your quiz:

1. Does this shirt make me look fat?

2. Stripes or Solids?

3. If a train leaves the Chicago station headed north at 100 mph, how long until it goes 100 miles?

4. a/s/l?

5. Do you carve your own jack-o-lanterns?

5. Do you ever get deja vu?

7. Who was the 35th President of the United States?

8. Which way is up?

9. Have you ever run from the police?

lumberjim 10-28-2007 12:33 AM

ok....stick around....if you make it 3 months, Griff mails you a bunch of free stuff.

Aliantha 10-28-2007 03:40 AM

Hey...I never got any free stuff.

I wish I had the guts to start a singing career.

DucksNuts 10-28-2007 05:46 AM

I got free stuff....some of it was kinda scary, but I guess Lj's tighie whities would please some people.

thealphajerk 10-28-2007 06:08 AM

i wish i could control all of the carrots so i could have a carrot army and destroy all the mushrooms

I wish I could get my hands on some of whatever it was that AlphaJ just had.

Aliantha 10-28-2007 06:25 AM

yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Where abouts is he from again? He's a bloody mexican isn't he!

thealphajerk 10-28-2007 06:33 AM

i ain't on shit, cept beer of course.. i just hate mushrooms is all, and i thought reverend maynard and the carrots could help..

mexican?

Aliantha 10-28-2007 06:34 AM

south of the border

DucksNuts 10-28-2007 06:34 AM

He's my people.

You love you some mexican

Plus, we have the best carrots

Aliantha 10-28-2007 06:37 AM

yeah...hot and spicey. ;)

I don't think you should talk about carrots. Probably best not to mention them at all even...ever again. Flashbacks are a bitch.

I once had some friends who drove from Syd to Bris with giant jelly beans bouncing off the road in front of them. (idiots)

ZenGum 10-28-2007 06:38 AM

He's just been eating the wrong mushrooms, then.

Your feeble carrots will not avail you against the might of the mushroom hordes, evil one, for they are fungal and spread quickly, and many of them have magic powers.

thealphajerk 10-28-2007 06:45 AM

ahh, yes but the juggernaut that is my furious carrot army will take you from underneath via a complex system of underground mazes and deathtraps..
i am from down south actually

ZenGum 10-28-2007 06:58 AM

It is clearly Australian Hour in the Cellar.
We have:
One Banana Bender
Two Mexicans
One (lost) Crow-eater
and I have seen a Sand-groper occasionally

WTF do we call people from NSW?

has anyone seen any Taswegians?

I recall hearing "Whalers" but it seemed a bit strained, and not terribly amusing.

AlphaJ, I should let you know that I do in fact command the carrots.
"BE STILL!" said I. "BE ORANGE, WITH A GREEN THINGY ON TOP!" They know who is boss.
