spatchIf I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.
If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free, in a Swiss bank account.
You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe.
And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crap about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina somebody, I can't think of her name. (Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it.)
Wait a minute, maybe the sex thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish, because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know?
No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice. But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth! So, we reorganize!
Here we go. First, the sex thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we go with the power second, then the money. And then the kids. Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish.
And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.
Thank you everybody and Merry Christmas.

3) Hooray for the "Say -- would you like to buy a monkey?" Cabin Boy usericon.

Date: 2007-11-27 08:29 pm (UTC)2. Someone on my friends list asked what everybody's one holiday wish gift would be (and concepts such as "total peace on Earth" didn't count) so I couldn't have used it as my reply, so I posted it here. It's one of the few holiday things I like.
3. Cabin Boy is one of those stupid as all hell movies that you still laugh at even though you don't think you should be laughing at it, at least, not past Andy Richter's part. "Capn says I'm as dumb as a carp. This is how a harem girl dances." So enjoyably surreal.
