Be careful what you wish for...

Well he was! Saruman was so high that he thought that there was no need for a parley at all! So Saruman announces that "Ev-wee one ish friends here, Zoizole!" (we figure thats Gandalf's new "nick name") and even leaves the Orthanc, passing around loaded pipes. Pippin readily takes one and ignores the palantir Saruman (thinking it was a kind of heavy beach-ball) tossed to him. Gandalf was less amused, but didn't do anything about the matter, anyway.

Sauron, without any pipe weed (not like he could smoke it anyway...) or sneaky hobbits to cloud his judgement, is better able to find Frodo. --Also, Faramir burns to death since Pippin didn't show up in Gondor.

I wish Orkish poetry was recognized throughout Middle Earth.

Granted. It's recognized, but not widely liked.

I wish Hobbits would live in Gondor to maintain the gardens.

Granted, but Rohan becomes jealous. And in a midnight raid the Rohirrim kidnap 15 Hobbits so that they may maintain Rohan's gardens. A bitter war breaks out over the issue. In the end neither side wins because the Hobbits refuse to do any more gardening.

I wish the men of Rohan rode giant turtles rather than horses.

Your wish is granted, so the War of the Ring turned out very differently since Eomer took too long getting to Helm's Deep and Theoden too long to get to the Pelennor Fields.

I wish Gandalf did turn Sam into something "unnatural".

I wish Gandalf did turn Sam into something "unnatural".

after sam torqued gandalf off particularly bad, gandalf did what the gaffer always said would come of associating with "wizards, and elves, and them types as too good to get their hands dirty in a nice piece of dirt." yes, he turned sam into something quite unnatural. sam became an exact replica of the one ring, which frodo happened to pick up in his somewhat hectic departure from Bad End. when frodo finally ended up at mount doom, there was no hesitation. he cast sam into the raging fires, and turned contentedly back toward home...though he soon found out his error when a passing nuzgal spotted him.

I wish that pipe weed really existed in our world.
