The monkey's paw curls and in a burst of smoke you now find yourself a creature of spirit, a being of power, but forced to carry out the will of all others, never yourself. You are now a genie.
First Genie: Welcome to the party, pal. Hope you're happy. There is a guy over there that has your lamp. You owe him 3 wishes. Remember to tell him "no wishing for more wishes".
PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!
itty bitty living space
Is the first genie Bruce Willis in Die Hard?
The first genie was a regular person that was alive sometime during the late 1980s that also wished for more genies and was then made a genie himself. Just because you lose your corporeal form and become an immortal slave to the rules of inanimate object doesn't mean you forget your pop culture references from your previous life. Its "wished genies" all the way down.
Yippy ki-yay, hocus pocus! Abra cadabra motherfucker!
