There's always Steve Martin's list:
Steve Martin wrote:Christmas Wish from Steve Martin

If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be that all the children 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.

A wish from Dogbert:
I dream of a world where somebody can buy liquor, cigarettes and firearms at a drive-thru window and use them all before you get home.

Google doesn't like hotlinking to their blogger photos...

EDIT | Apparently they don't letting anyone see the photos outside of a blog either. Image

Y'all can't see the picture? I'm sure google can handle the hotlinking bandwidth of this one photo.

I can't see it. Could be a firewall/proxy issue for me. I vaguely recall trying to post pictures by hotlink to my Blogger photos and not being able to see them at all here though.

It needs to be a new window because it's seeing the referrer address. Worked for me in a fresh window :)

Hotlink protection seems a bit silly to me for stuff like that :)

Same thing in a new window. It might be a firewall issue on my part.

EDIT | Or a freaking browser issue. It works in IE and Opera, but not in Firefox. That is strange.
