Post by: Lil'Cinnamon on November 21, 2009, 12:08:21 AM
Wish for anything. then the person below corrupts it and makes the wish gets granted, but makes it go horribly wrong!

Example:
1:
I wish i had money
2:
Granted, but then you spend the money on illegal stuff and get in jail!

Fun game.

Ill start:

I wish i had a better camera...

Post by: Jace the Gull on November 21, 2009, 01:15:32 AM
1: You can buy a better camera but you won't be able to afford shipping for the Westinghouse NEMA I have for you!

2: I wish I was hearing and not deaf.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on November 22, 2009, 12:23:46 AM
1: Granted, but you will have to hear the braying from the giraffe.

2: I wish for a new car.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Lil'Cinnamon on November 22, 2009, 01:04:57 AM
Granted, but the car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and you get stranded without food or water...

I wish i can fly.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on November 22, 2009, 01:18:55 AM
1:  Granted but you get hit by a bird and fall into a pit

2:  I wish I could know what other people were thinking.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on November 22, 2009, 10:40:10 AM
Granted, but someone could be thinking something that you don't want to know!

I wish seagulls couldn't fly!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on November 22, 2009, 03:57:05 PM
1: Granted, but they wouldn't guard the streetlights against heavier pelicans, which are bigger and makes a bigger mess. (True story, a gull scared off a pelican about to land on a light he's on.)

2: I wish the world would be lit by induction lights in streetlights.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on November 23, 2009, 03:18:17 AM
Granted, but a bunch of good linemens we know will be laid off due to less maintance and they won't be needed!

I wish I was not at work right now (I am on a lunch break overnight)

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: A_lights on November 23, 2009, 06:10:50 PM
1.Granted, If you were not at work right now you would have no more money for lighting stuff.

2. I wish I could have a LPS fixture
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on November 23, 2009, 06:44:59 PM
1: Granted then you wouldn't be able to light it up since it's 50hz and 230v.

2: Wish the world is at peace and drug free.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on November 24, 2009, 02:31:01 AM
Granted, but it will be nearly impossible to maintain it and keep the world like that. Have faith, is all you can do!

I wish I was meeting around lighting friends, I am alone!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: lightman64 on November 24, 2009, 05:18:08 PM
Granted, but the lighting friends stole your OV-25 Silverliner!

I wish there were less Metal Halide fixtures that turn green because of bad capictors.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on November 24, 2009, 05:25:02 PM
1. Granted but because the capacitors last longer and not affect the lamp current allowing the metal halide lamps to explode at end of life leaving glass and mercury vapour all over the place.

2. I wish more white light source streetlight were installed.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: lightman64 on November 24, 2009, 06:09:20 PM
Granted, but all the white light attracted lots of bugs and annoyed people

I wish that HPS was banned and Mercury Vapor un-banned.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on November 25, 2009, 12:50:23 AM
Granted, but a lot of linemen lost their jobs due to less attention needed on streetlighting.

I wish our gasoline was cheaper and more affordable.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on November 25, 2009, 09:48:47 AM
1: Granted then there will be more cars on the roads and more pollution.

2: I wish someone who knows stuff about lighting technologies and their pros & cons was a president of the US. And that person knows that people has different taste in lights used in their area.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: lightman64 on November 26, 2009, 02:45:46 PM
Granted, but they knew nothing about foreign affairs and some random people invaded the U.S. and stole all the vintage mercury vapor bulbs.

I wish that they would come out with a virus for Macs so all the people who LOVE them will have to get knew ones....
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on November 27, 2009, 10:22:48 PM
Granted but your Admin GullWhiz would be mad at you for wishing that wish since he is one of the Mac users.

I wish nothing ever broke.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Form109 on November 28, 2009, 12:12:15 PM
Mac's are Alright,given that Mac's do suffer less Problems than Windows,ive never had any major problems with any Windows ive owned.

keep in mind no Computer is indestructable,there could be a virus that could crash a mac.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on December 29, 2009, 10:08:23 AM
Granted but you did not make any wishes so it has not been granted!

I wish FGS and Form109 starts having problems with their windows :-P
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on December 29, 2009, 10:22:16 AM
Granted then me and form109 wouldn't be able to post such awesome pics and chat on AIM.

I wish that MV were available for pulse start mh ballasts over 100w.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on December 29, 2009, 10:37:58 AM
Granted but instead of MV being dimmed out which I like seeing, they will cycle instead!

I wish I saw FGS today!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: RCM on December 29, 2009, 08:48:41 PM

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on December 29, 2009, 10:00:50 PM

I wish I could sleep more.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: A_lights on December 30, 2009, 04:07:59 AM
Granted, then you could not be to work on time.

I think every Westy lifeguard should be found and given to the lighting community people!

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on December 30, 2009, 10:15:18 PM
Granted, but now Jace feels cold! His HPS fixture suits him as a portable fireplace...the colors makes him feel warm....one of the positives about HPS!

I wish FGS would visit me a lot closer to me.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on December 30, 2009, 10:24:47 PM
Granted but Jace won't get free money from Quiznos that they gives to you. (Inside joke from our first meet.)

I wish that I had a copymachine that copies lamps and fixtures from pictures to real and restore them to new. Just take a pic of a long life westy (the ones lasting 30years and still bright) and get exact copies of the lamp but new unused. Hehehehe. Then I would be set for life.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on December 31, 2009, 01:28:25 PM
Granted but you will end up making too many of them, that they will...

1. Clutter up
2. Make your dad angry
3. They won't be rare or unique anymore because you made so many copies of the rare lamps!

I wish I had the ballast and socket for a Powergroove lamp
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on December 31, 2009, 03:33:56 PM
Granted then you won't have space to hang it up. Too big. (Who gave you a powergroove? :P)

I wish I had gotten an OV-15.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Lil'Cinnamon on December 31, 2009, 04:00:34 PM

I wish for everything annoying to go away...
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on January 01, 2010, 02:52:54 AM
Granted, but then you can't annoy anyone or you'll go away along with anything annoying.

I wish that I had a printer that could make a working copy of anything that I find on the internet. 
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: A_lights on January 01, 2010, 07:43:47 PM
Granted, but then the printer runs out of ink quick and Obama is the only one who sells the special ink.

I think that electronic ballasts should fail more often!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: RCM on January 01, 2010, 10:29:04 PM
Granted, each time one fails, it burns the building down!

I wish my girlfriend was here with me.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 01, 2010, 11:30:28 PM

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Lil'Cinnamon on January 08, 2010, 02:26:41 AM
Granted, but he uses bold print I instead of quotes.

I wish my computer did NOT have vista on it! (ugh. I need to get rid of that OS anyway)
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on January 08, 2010, 08:39:21 AM
Granted, then you have to deal with the smaller keyboard and screen as those small laptops have XP on them. But they're easy to carry around.  ;D

I wish that they didn't use electronic ballasts with the push-sockets but preheat magnetic ballasts with Y-sockets.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: A_lights on January 09, 2010, 02:06:04 PM
Granted, then the lamps would be hard to get out when a maintenance guy puts the lamp in wrong and it welds into the socket!

I think that poetry should be banned so students don't have to write it. lol.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 10, 2010, 12:12:37 AM

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on January 10, 2010, 10:03:45 AM

Post by: FGS on January 10, 2010, 09:59:38 PM
Who says I was gonna use MH lamps on them? :P

Granted the you can't hold the lights and play with them. You can't even use Mac and the Droid. Gulls don't have thumbs.

I wish that Mac was cheaper.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 10, 2010, 10:13:34 PM
Granted but the quality goes down, and will not have wireless, built in camera, bluetooth, and all the special extras and will just break easily

I wish the electricity out of our outlets was DC instead of AC
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on January 11, 2010, 12:06:05 AM
Granted, then all our AC devices won't work anymore. Including our nice and heavy ballasts. Have to be all electronics. No more preheat blinky start of fluoros.

I wish that Westinghouse was still in business. (The real Westinghouse.)
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 11, 2010, 09:31:31 AM
Granted but Westinghouse stuff are extremely expensive due to high quality!

I wish more retail store would sell more HID fixtures....in a great price!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on January 11, 2010, 11:08:37 PM
Granted then all of the homeowners will start putting up HID fixtures everywhere creating lots of glarebombs!

I wish that I had a halfpiper fluorescent fixture.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 12, 2010, 10:07:59 AM
Granted but it has broken sockets, worn asbestos wiring, leaky PCBs from the ballast, one of the lights dont work (4 lamps...only 3 sets sockets works, one end plate is missing, there is a lot of rust all over!!!

I wish joe_347V had a perfect conditioned halfpiper fluorescent fixture!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: A_lights on January 13, 2010, 01:24:43 AM
Granted: Joe's fixture was so perfect that Jace used gullpower to steal it  :o

I wish I had a Sylvania 50W HPS lamp.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on January 13, 2010, 09:44:34 AM
Granted, then the lamp have a severely bent arctube. You try fixing it but wind up breaking the arctube itself.

I wish I was the President of the US. Then I would kick the dumb ballast ban outta the windows.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 13, 2010, 11:31:48 PM
Granted, you got the ban repealed, but unfortunately that was the only thing you could do, you caused the USA to go much lower than the 30s Great Depression. Now we all are upset. Thanks a lot Worst President in HISTORY!

I wish I climbed so high for you guys!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: A_lights on January 16, 2010, 10:27:07 AM
Granted:but you climbed so high and lost your grip and fell half way down.

I think wishes should always be corrupted

I wish for a 1000 watt HPS Ballast.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 17, 2010, 02:22:15 PM
Granted but you still have to pay for shipping, and it's 100 bucks...and ignitor and cap is NOT included!

I wish for a Yoplait Whips yogurt!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on January 17, 2010, 10:13:10 PM
Granted, and it's expired and the flavor you hate.

I wish I had a real police lightbar for my collection like Whelen or Federal Signals, it works perfectly, and the police departments are fine with me having it.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on January 18, 2010, 03:41:22 PM
Granted but you don't have room for it and you're forced to give it away to someone else.

I wish I had a Ontario highway sign in perfect condition and the highway department is fine with me having it.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: RCM on January 20, 2010, 08:45:20 PM

I wish it would rain here more!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 22, 2010, 05:38:07 AM
Granted but your transformer went KA-BOOM and KER-BOOM that it caught fire and flamed down all the powerlines and powerpoles....Now you are left in the dark...for a month...in a damp area!

I wish I could hang up and display all of my streetlights!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on January 22, 2010, 07:35:52 PM
Granted but then DSA will come knocking at your door saying you violated some kind of dark sky law and take all of your lights away. 

I wish the MTO would install more  truss light poles (http://galleryoflights.sanriovillage.com/mb/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-34) instead of tapered e lights.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 23, 2010, 03:34:51 AM
Granted but taxpayers will have to pay more for better quality poles and arms.

I wish there was no lighting rules such as Dark Sky, energy saving EPA and all that....
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on January 25, 2010, 12:03:14 PM
Granted, but your missed your bonus and your boss gave it to someone else.

I wish they still sold quality MV fixtures in stores and the ban was repealed.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: RCM on January 25, 2010, 07:35:19 PM
Granted, they are high quality to Chinese standards only!

I wish I didn't get bored all the time!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: lightman64 on January 25, 2010, 08:33:58 PM

I wish Georgia Power sold used streetlights.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on January 25, 2010, 09:28:23 PM
Granted but then you either:

1. don't have enough money to buy them.

2. buy so much you run out of room.

3. buy a broken one.

I wish I had a working brand new 1000W MV lamp that won't explode when I turn it on.



Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: RCM on January 25, 2010, 11:56:31 PM

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: RCM on January 26, 2010, 11:49:27 PM

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on January 27, 2010, 02:19:18 PM

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: A_lights on January 28, 2010, 01:57:03 PM

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: RCM on January 29, 2010, 01:46:16 AM
Granted, but it's a highway built with speed bumps placed right next to each other!  ;D

I wish I could ride on a highway built with nothing but speed bumps!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: FGS on January 29, 2010, 12:57:17 PM
Granted then the country would grind to a halt as the speed bumps are hard on the cars/trucks/buses and their wheels fall off.

I wish someone made a nice wish and it comes true and not be corrupted.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on January 30, 2010, 04:43:40 AM

Granted but there absolute crap like all LED street lights ::)

I wish the NEMA labels on the cobra heads I just got where correct insed of saying 400 watts but turning out to be 250  ::)
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: joe_347V on July 13, 2010, 11:32:13 PM
Granted but only the ballast was the correct wattage and you overdrove your 250w lamps by running them on a 400w ballast,

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: SeanB~1 on August 09, 2010, 01:53:10 AM
Granted, but they put in cheap chinese lamps that had a short life and blew up at eol .

I wish that some manufacturer would make a LED lamp that actually lasted 100k hours and was affordable.

BTW, the FBI has left the country, they did so right after the USA lost at soccer. BTW the stadium lights still work and look nice at night, almost all the arch lighting is LED.

I wish the MTO would start installing sign lighting fixtures again. 
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: gailgrove on September 23, 2010, 10:39:33 AM
Granted, but then they would cause so much glare off the reflective signs people couldn't see the signs!

I wish street lighting work would go faster so I could get more lights faster!
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: SeanB~1 on September 23, 2010, 02:09:49 PM
Granted but then you would have no leisure time to go on the web and to this site.

I could have inlined the explanation, but then the comment from the Gull would have been rather odd.

I wish I could find a box or two of NOS blackenders going for free.
Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: Jace the Gull on September 26, 2010, 04:52:56 PM
Granted, the Gull gives you the two boxes that held the NOS blackender Philips BLB  F15T8 lamps...you received the boxes for free (but there's nothing in the boxes though, you wished for the boxes!)

I wish GoL was NOT as popular as it is now!

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: SeanB~1 on September 27, 2010, 03:47:21 PM
Granted, but it is a Rochelle quartz unit with a non replaceable blunt needle when you were expecting moving coil or moving magnet.

I can only get a Stanton DJ stylus and cartridge, nothing else really available ( used for DJ work) so have had to change headshell to accept this.

Seagull, I said a box or two of lamps, not a box or two from lamps - seagull needs to go back to school to learn English language.
Seevoel moet n bietjie leer hoe om to lees, nie net praat sonder die brein om mee te dink nie! Who knows? Google translate may handle that, or ask one of the Dutch members for a translation. Haikona umfaan!

Title: Re: Corrupt a wish.
Post by: SeanB~1 on December 12, 2010, 06:32:07 AM
Granted, but it is a lamp that is coloured HPS yellow, and suffers from Alto disease within 3 months.

I could live with glary white light, the yellow is not nice for the trees in the park, they also want to sleep at night.

I wish I could meet other collectors in person.

The rain stopped for now, but expected back later the week. No snow, unless I travel for 3 hours to the mountains from the sea, where there is still a little snow on the highest peaks, but I will need a 4WD to travel the last bit up Sani Pass to the highest pub in the world.

I wish postal rates to the rest of the world were much cheaper.

I was going to reply to the sign discussion board, but GOL went offline before the post was posted..... First a 504 then gone from DNS.  ;(
