I wish that the Haunted Apiary is officially adopted as the name of this ARG throughout the internet, thus ending the stream of terrible bee puns in news articles written about the game.
Granted, but after the news organizations grab a hold of it, and the ARG becomes a phenomenon and Unforum is famous, the rights to the story are bought and made into a Lifetime Made-For-TV Drama entitled "Dana's Ordeal", Starring Linda Carter as "Dana", Kathy Bates as "Aunt Margaret", and Scott Baio as "SpaceBass".
I wish that the GPS coordinate locations turn out to be bus stop locations that take ARGers to a workshop where we are to collaborate in real life, like we do on these forums.

granted, but the "collaboration" involves Bungie chaining us to benches and forcing us to pack box after box of Halo 2 for 3 straight days.
I wish that Aunt M would send everyone a new jar of free honey for helping her!

Granted but it has black letters floating in it...
I wish that somehow Wide Awake and Physical doesn't happen until the 25th, when I can actually access the 'net.

I know it's breaking the chain to quote this, but I laughed so hard at that one... it had to be done.

Granted, but the wakeup occurs on your ISP's server and ties up so many resources that you're the only one in the world who can't access it.
I wish that I could actually help solve the steganography puzzles, instead of simply rooting from the sidelines and waiting for the results.
-- Steve's a bit math-challenged for that, though.

Granted, however, since you are "math-handycapable", the only way you can break the stegs is to have Stephen Hawking read out each ASCII Code character before the code is broken.
I wish that in the end of this, all of our names are in the credits to Halo 2. (Hey, stranger things have happened)

Your wish is my comand oh Dorkey one Wish Granted:
Unfortunately an easily confused Department of Homeland Security Echelon employee takes this list and enters it into its most wanted database and as a result you are picked up in a black van and give an all expenses paid vacation to Git Mo Bay Cuba for the next four years while the confused government employee gets a promotion realizes his mistake and has you erased from the books to protect his career.
I wish that on August 25 they would release 378 additional coordinates....all of them in Texas.

Granted: Unfortunately those coordinates are for video game retailers, Bungie's way of showing you where you can buy a copy of Halo 2 when it's released.
I wish that when Master Chief was revealed, he closely resembled me, a suave, dark handsome man with more charm than any woman could ever desire.

Granted, but when he does, he steals your girlfriend.
I wish that I had the faintest clue what to do with those coordinates.

granted, but knowing the answer to the coords puzzle makes you go mad! the nice men come and give you a new jacket, and a lovely padded room with a view of the garden. the rest of us continue to wonder how the puzzle works while you use your 30 minutes a day of internet time to cackle wildly at our pathetic attempts
i wish..... i knew what to wish for in this post

Granted, you suddenly find inspiration to post your wish. But ScarpeGrosse decides to lock down the thread and it never gets granted.
I wish my boss wouldn't notice the mumble jumble of letters and number and GPS coordinates next to the growing pile of work in my "TO DO" basket.

Granted, however, your lax work habits have gone un-noticed only because your boss is playing ILB too, and is playing as whole-heartedly as you are, forgetting to write your paycheck this week.
I wish that the Princess would use a fragment from my email to commicate next.

Granted: but your boss instead notices that you haven't done any work and fires you.
I wish Halo 2 came with a copy of Bubble Bobble.
