Imagine the most divine steak you've ever tasted. The meat melting in your mouth as you bite into it. The juices eking out onto the plate as you cut into the succulent sirloin. Live in that moment. Let it seep into your bones.

Now wake the fuck up and realize you can't afford that shit anymore with a family.

For those moments when you're forced to settle, we hope you'll choose Golden Corral. We don't try our hardest, and we don't do our best, but you'll take it anyways because it's better than McDonald's for the fourth fucking time this week.

For those special moments...

Those important times you want to share...

Or all of those occasions when you wanted to say yes...

On those days, in those brief, precious seconds...

Find it in yourself to COME ON DOWN TO Cici's!!!

At Cici's, say yes to our snow powdered brownies, our grease covered, store-bought pizza, and our signature dough baked with cheese and parmesan!

After, hit the links with your family! See if YOU can beat the Skeeball JACKPOT!

A confetti effect streams down the TV screen while the camera whips around Cici's, before landing on the employees beaming at the audience.

"Come join the Cici's family!"

The employees grin ear to ear as though a man behind the camera holds a gun on them.

I would liken this to the classic lawyer-ish genie behavior of using whatever interpretation and loopholes the djinn wishes to use. In one instance bartering could be considered an intent of currency, in another instance the djinn would claim it doesn’t apply on matter of technicality.

The challenge is to word the request and attempt to gain the favor of the djinn while not expressly attempting to do so in a way that would piss off the genie or tip your hand that you’re attempting a manipulation. I wouldn’t want to be on the disfavorable side of a djinn that thought I was attempting to manipulate them.

If I was in that guy’s position, I would have wished for a device that I could tell a proposed wish and it would tell me whether it was still grantable- would make his job far easier. Plus it would block anyone else from getting a similar device so he wouldn’t have any competition in the wish consulting agency.
