Fortunately/Unfortunately

[THE Ka]

Fortunately, Gandalf the uncloaker usurped the throne again, this time proving random efforts (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=486405&postcount=11458) to brake all laws of physics and Eärendil's boat to crash, which caused the Were-Feanor to randomly fall into a blackhole and be torn into pieces, including those of Galadriel and Celeborn that were consumed in his maul...

~ Ka

[Boromir88]

Unfortunately as Alan Rickman came and said, "Existance functions under one principle: Eru is infallible. To prove Eru wrong would undo reality and everything that is. Up would become down, black would become white, existance would become nothingness. If Gandalf uncloaked again after the running joke had been decreed as 'ended' he would unmake the world."

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, do to the last post, the world was unmade and all that survived were some long running gags, if you will, such as Mutant-Dog, Johnny the Stinky Balrog, the newly acclaimed were-Feanor, Mt. Zoom and any others i have missed

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, Gandalf didn't uncloak fully, so the universe righted itself and all of the whored-out running gags were destroyed again, forcing new comedians to come up with their own skits.

[Boromir88]

Fortunately, that new comedian was Denethor...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, the best thing he could come up with was a very large hat that tried to eat people. He called it 'Hattington Smithe".

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the alien-eating dog chewed the hat up.

[Boromir88]

unfortunately the hat had a silmaril in it and it turned the mutant-dog into a raging, unstoppable mutant dog.

[Volo]

Fortunately the raging unstoppable mutant dog became friends with Were-Feanor and they lived rabidly ever after. The end?

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Gimli was still trying to find something to eat.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, Gimli found food and wasn't hungry anymore.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Unfortunately, it turned out Gimli had mistaken foot with food and was now chewing on Denethor's toes

[Boromir88]

Fortunately Denethor gave Gimli some Frodo Fingers (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=366837&postcount=13) and everything was completely fine...

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, this became so disgusting that Gimli threw himself off a cliff.

[Volo]

Fortunately Thorondor was just flying below and Gimli fell on his back safely.

[Boromir88]

Unfortunately, Thorondor was hungry and he thought a dwarf might taste good.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Gimli landed with his axe embedded in Thorondor's head.

[Volo]

Unfortunately Thorondor realized that and started falling down, with the screaming Gimli on his back.

[Holbytlass]

Fortunately, dead eagles cushion the fall.

[Glirdan]

Unfortunately, after you fall on a dead eagle, you start smelling like decomp. bodies. :eek:

[Boromir88]

Fortunately Thorondor wasn't a a dead eagle, he was a mostly dead eagle and so he didn't smell grossly

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately for Gimli, Thorondor being only a
mostly dead eagle meant he couldn't go through
Thorondor's pockets looking for loose change. :(

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Gimli and Thorondor had landed in a dragon's lair.

EDIT: Fortunately, Gimli and Thorondor had landed in a dragon's lair, where there was a gigantic heap of loose change.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, just before the dead eagle landed
a wormhole had opened into Oz and the eagle
nudged a house so it landed on a wicked witch
(thus starting a remarkable chain of events,
including a giant Gimli being appointed King of the Munchkins).

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Gimli said "There's no place like home" and found himself back in Middle-Earth.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Middle Earth was now Black and White

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, color soon returned.

[mark12_30]

Unfortunately, it was inverted, neon color. Nobody recognized anything and everyone wandered around lost.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately (for the rest of the Free Peoples, that is), this caused Frodo to accidentally fall into Mount Doom while wearing the Ring.

[Volo]

Unfortunately (but not for Frodo) it wasn't actually Mount Doom but a bowl of porridge in the Green Dragon Inn.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the porridge was somehow hot enoough to destroy the Ring.

[mark12_30]

UNfortunately it was also hot enough to destroy Frodo.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, he had a heat resisting cloak on.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the cloak also protected the Ring against the heat.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, the Ring fell out of the cloak.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, it fell into the drinking cup of
Grisnakh, who was visiting the Shire to
see his old chums Merry and Pippin (how he
escaped the nassty horseriders is another
story).

[Morsul the Dark]

fortunately , Frodo tricked Grishnak into giving up his glass and poured it into the pouridge

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Sam ate the porridge

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately (except for Sam) the Ring eventually
emerged again.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunatel(for sam), it was in a tumour located in his brain...for somereason...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, it covered his eye and he stumbled into the crack of Doom!

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately one of the flying nazgul was
passing by and Sam fell on the Pteradactyl's back.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, his weight was such that, upon hitting the pterodactyl, its neck broke and they all plummeted into the magma!

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, this also incinerated Sam.

[Eonwe]

Fortunatley...

I CHOOSE U, MAGMAR! Magmar saved the day by catching Sam before i was incinerated!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, this means the Ring is not destroyed!

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Magmar tossed it in the fire.

[Eonwe]

Unfortunately, after he had done this, he thought better of it, and dived down and got it back. Suddendly, they had a Pokemon for a Dark Lord! :eek:

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the Ring had already melted.

[Boromir88]

Unfortunately Sauron had manufactured 1 Million "One Ring's" and put them in Cracker Jack boxes and shipped them all over Middle-earth.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately only the One Ring was programmed
to say "You've got Ring!" when it's box was opened.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, it accidently said "Too the Onion Rings!" due to false programming

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, all the evil things now thought it was lunchtime and decided to go on a search for onion rings...

[Precioussss]

Unfortunately, all the evil things ate all the onion rings in Middle Earth.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, they didn't find the Ring.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, there was one onion ring that was kept safe by the elves and shipped to Valinor with much haste.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the two "Fortunately"s that were cross-posted reacted rather violently and caused a rift to form in the time-space continuum.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the rift in the time-space continuum was
obviated (in some way I'm not quite sure how)
when Sauron and Saruman became absorbed
in a "Toss the Ring through the onion ring" game.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, Sauron died when he took off the ring and Saruman took the ring.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately Radagast grabbed the Ring from
Saruman in a Five Wizard Face-down which
Eru insisted had to be held to determine
ownership of the Ring by one wizard.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Radagast used the power of the Ring to create an army of giant evil cabbages with which to conquer Middle-Earth.

[Boromir88]

Fortunately Alatar and Pallando were vegetarians and they ate all the evil cabbages.

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately they went insane.

[Rikae]

Fortunately, Lobelia was so angry that they had eaten the cabbages she had intended for coleslaw, she strangled them with her bare hands.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, they turned her into a lizard.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, everyone liked Lobelia a lot more as a lizard than as a hobbit.

[Volo]

Unfortunately that wasn't enough to change anything.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Fortunately, Ragadast discovered that the power of the One Ring was rather limited and pretty much boring and, with that discovery, he sold it off on Ebay.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Sauron managed to outbid everyone else for the Ring and got it.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Sauron only bidded for a picture of the One Ring

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, Ragadast took Sauron's monopoly money.

[Boromir88]

Fortunately Radagast gave all of Sauron's money to the PETA organization

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, greedy Sauron had Radagast hunted down by Orcs with HUGE noses and talking boots.

[Boromir88]

Fortunately the Orc hunting party noses were so HUGE they couldn't hold their heads up and they all fell down...uh nose first.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, a skilled plastic surgeon from Gondor
was passing by and (in return for the Ring) gave all
the orcs nose jobs.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, this kept the Ring away from Sauron.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, the Gondorian plastic surgeon was really a secret agent of Sauron's.

[Boromir88]

Fortunately all the Orcs that received nose jobs were unhappy so they sued their plastic surgeon and to pay for the expenses he was forced to give the Ring to them, who then had to give the Ring to Elrond to pay for their Attorney expenses.'

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, Elrond threw the ring into the ocean, where it landed on Godzilla's head and woke him up.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately Godzilla's fire-breath was hotter then mt.doom and he torched the ring when he got out of the water and Sauron, who looked in disamay, was then turned into a chicken.


nana nana na-na Sauron is a chicken

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, he was turned into a 100-foot tall killer chicken of doom with laser eyes!

[The 1,000 Reader]

Fortunately, Godzilla pwned him and went on a rampage.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Mothra picked up Godzilla and dropped him
into Orodruin. :eek:

[Boromir88]

Fortunately Mothra was Radagast the brown Mothra who had to go and rescue Gandalf off Orthanc.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Radagast the brown Mothra was distracted from this
noble task when PJ signed him up to do a remake of a
Godzilla/Mothra movie.

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, the remake was soon scrubbed.

[Boromir88]

Unfortunately Gandalf was still ontop of Orthanc needing rescuing :rolleyes:

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, the scrubbing of the remake freed up quite a lot of Radagast the brown Mothra's time.

[Boromir88]

Unfortunately Radagast the Mothra got confused and mistook Barad-dur for Orthanc. :eek:

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, none of this mattered to Gandalf, who had been living happily on top of Orthanc for over a year, and would have regarded the rescue as more of an intrusion anyway.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, he got rescued anyway.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Gandalf made a fortune selling off
condo shares to his development atop Chez Orthanc
(touted for its great views and history) to Gondorian
upper mobile types. Especially attractive was the short
commute via unemployed pteradactyls to Minas Tirith.

Gandalf then used his earnings to redevelop his
new venture, Minas Morgul Estates.

[Boromir88]

Unfortunately the Mouth of Sauron, CEO of Mount Zoom Enterprises, feared what Gandalf was doing was creating a monoply and he appealed to the White Council Board to put a halt to Gandalf gaining control of all the businesses of Middle-earth.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Fortunately, MOS had suffering shares that went to the negatives when Mount Zoom finally died. In other words, he was extremely poor.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, someone took pity on him and wrote him a check for 5 billion silver pennies.

[THE Ka]

Fortunately, the check bounced due to the fact that this check and the only person who cared to write it, was Sauron, who was cheap enough for pennies had pulled out too many loans anyways...

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately for MOS and Gandalf, the
son of Fredegar Bolger (Freddy the Enormous)
leveredged his civil suit settlement from the
nazgul [for nassty torture] into controlling interest in FINB (the First
Ithilien National Bank) to gain control of Minas
Morgul Estates (cadgily using his silent partner
Beregond as front man).

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately nobody had any hard feelings...yarr...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Unfortunately, an earth-worm was eaten by a bird and nobody even knew about it.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately nobody knew about Rune posting anyways...yarr...

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, the earthworm being eaten was actually Radagast, trying to get in touch with his wormy side.

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, since matter can neither be created or destroyed, Radagast simply coalesced together again.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, a large amount of antimatter hit him.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, this caused a temporal rift that sent Radagast back to his house, safe and sound.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, his house was on fire.

[Volo]

Fortunately it was just a Balrog sleepwalking

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, it woke up and was angry with everything! :eek:

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, it soon realized its mistake, and became friends with Radagast.

[Volo]

Unfortunately, Radagast was the greatest back-stabber ever and he stole the Balrog's favourite teddy. :(

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, this all happened in another dimention, so whatever did happen didn't really matter to the real Radagast and balrog.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, it turned out that this RtB was
actually Morgoth (having qualified for a work
release rehab program of the Valar) who relapsed
(actually rereleapsed) and decided to bring up
Thangorodrim from the ocean depths---Osse being
on a time share holiday at undersea Numenor.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, it turned out that this RtB was
actually Morgoth (having qualified for a work
release rehab program of the Valar) who relapsed
(actually rerelapsed) and decided to bring up
Thangorodrim from the ocean depths---Osse being
on a time share holiday at undersea Numenor.

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, Morgoth was H2O intolerant, so trying to raise anything from the depths of the ocean was out of the question.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, his H2O intolerance was cured by the new allergy medicine invented by Sauron.

[doom_hammer]

fortunately all the allergy medicine was sold out

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortuantely, Eru decided that allergies were a thing of the past and made them no-more, replacing then with nasty rabbits crawling around in your head

[doom_hammer]

fortuantely the rabits were vegetarians

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, there were no vegetables around, so they decided to eat meat! :eek:

[Boromir88]

Fortunately it was fell beast meat.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately the Fell Beasts had eaten organic
Fell Beast Spinach and they all got sick.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, eating the meat made the nasty rabbits sick as well.

[Boromir88]

Unfortunately it was just a minor cold.

[doom_hammer]

fortunately all the rabbits died

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, an either drunk or high - it was hard to tell - Gandalf stumbled into the room and made the Rabbits come to life and do a silly dance.

[doom_hammer]

fortunately the dance was the tango

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the rabbits ate Gandalf. (please don't ask how.)

[Boromir88]

Fortunately, I had to ask Menel why did the rabbits eat Gandalf?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, the answer was so disturbing that one's head is forced to explode.

[doom_hammer]

fortunately no one we know got hurt

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, that would mean we had alienated Boromir88... :(

[doom_hammer]

fortunately we can solve that

[elronds_daughter]

Unfortunately, our solving powers had been nullified.

[Celuien]

Fortunately, the solution came anyway when Boromir became Alien (from The Downer's Phantom and Alien).

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, Eru waved his hand, and the world became a nice and happy place.

[doom_hammer]

Unfortunately war broke out.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, the war was against Sauron, so it was for a good cause.

[doom_hammer]

Unfortunately, all the hobbits died in the war

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, it was a simple matter to raise them to life again--plant pipeweed on their graves.

[doom_hammer]

Unfortunately, all the hobits died from lung cancer.

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, they didn't know about lung cancer back then, and what is unknown doesn't exist. Therefore nobody died.

[doom_hammer]

Unfortunately, smaug ate them all

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, Bard came along and slew Smaug for them.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Boromir88 took on his role as Wile E. Coyote and came back the next episode in some crazy contraption

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, as is usually the case, the contraption backfired and launched him off a cliff.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, the cliff was only 5 feet high.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, the cliff was atop an open well in Moria.

[doom_hammer]

fortunately by then all the hobbits were dead

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Boromir88 wasn't a hobbit

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, the Orcs and Balrog were gone as well.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, they were replaced by dragons.

[doom_hammer]

fortunately: the dragons were kind...

[elronds_daughter]

fortunately: the dragons were kind...
Unfortunately: ...of mean.

[doom_hammer]

fortunately: the race of men killed all the dragons

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, this annihilated every man in the world.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately Dwarves became the rulers of the world, at least underground, that is.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, this left the world above rather barren.

[doom_hammer]

Fortunately this helped the wargs grow in numbers.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately for the wargs the elves (in the words of
Boss Tweed) "seen their chances and they took 'em"
by moving back to Middle-earth.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately (for the wargs), they ate the Elves.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, it caused violent stomach cramps.

[doom_hammer]

Fortunately no wargs were hurt and all the hobbits were dead

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately the hobbits were already dead so without anything for the Johnny the stinky Grim Balrog Reaper to kill, he went on a rampage in the airport

[Meneltarmacil]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/hukbillgoomba/Zoom.jpg

Fortunately, Mount Zoom ran over him. :p

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, the sheer number of times Mount Zoom has run over things on this thread caused it to break forever, and be forever useless for running something over.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, a GIANT WALNUT fell on Johnny.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, he managed to eat the walnut.

[THE Ka]

Fortunately, the acid in Johnny's stomach was not enough to harm the walnut, and it grew, and grew, and grew... Until it had split Johnny in two, where from his remains gave enough nourishment for the tree to evolve into a walnut-bearing balrog-reaper-whatever...

~ Telling tales Ka

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfotunately, the tree was 15 million feet tall, and fell over right on Minas Tirith.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately Johnny burst from the tree to stop the tree from falling on Minas Tirith

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, he stepped in Faramir in the process.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, High King Fingolfin was run over by Mount Zoom, despite his best atttempts to disable it, allowing other people to post for Unfortunately.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately for Meneltarmacil, Minas Tirith was at the historical moment of "The Battle of the Pellenor Fields" and, due to Meneltarmacil bringing back the always hated Mount Zoom, everyone worked together to destroy Mount Zoom, crucified Meneltarmacil on one last piece of the mountain shaped like a cross, and then threw Meneltarmacil and the Zoom cross into the fires of Mount Doom, teaching both of them to never do that running joke again.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, since Mount Zoom was now gone for good, Denethor got depressed and ate so much that he grew very fat. Eventually he is so depressed that he leaps off the top of Minas Tirith and lands on top of Johnny the Stinky Balrog, thus stopping him from destroying Minas Tirith.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, Johnny was now very messy.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Meneltarmacil came back from the dead and drove Mount Zoom over Johnny.

(Note the paradox: If Mount Zoom is destroyed, being Mount Doom with wheels, how can it be thrown into the fires of itself? :smokin: )

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately to Menel's confused brain, Mt. Zoom was infact the cousin of Mt.Doom so it was possible to throw it into Mt.Doom and saved Johnny by being mis-judged, who eventually flew away to his FORTRESS OF SOLIDARITY

[doom_hammer]

fortunately Mt.Doom was made and all were happy.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, even though Mt.Doom was still there, the evil Penguins began their march again to cover the lands of Middle-Earth in another black-and-whiteness...

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Meneltarmacil was still driving around in Mount Zoom and ran over the penguin army with it.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, Hookbill the Goomba, who had invented Mount Zoom, decided to put the joke into retirement. :rolleyes:

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, I was there to convince him that it was far too good a joke to retire.

[Naria]

Unfortunately, the evil penguins spirits came back with a vengeance and destroyed poor Hookbill's Mt. Zoom*sigh*

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Boromir the Disco King came out of retirement and made the penguins' spirits all start dancing like crazy to keep them from destroying anything else.

[doom_hammer]

Unfortunately, Boromir broke his legs, arms, neck and back so he was unable to stop them from destroying things.

[Rikae]

Fortunately, one of the penguins was actually an eagle in disguise, and the eagle lured the penguins into Moria and blocked the way out with boulders.

[doom_hammer]

Unfortunately, the penguins learned to fly.

[Volo]

Fortunaly, they could fly only in water.

[doom_hammer]

unfortunaly, Middle earth was hit by a tsunami flooding all the land.

[Volo]

Fortunaly, the penguins couldn't swim forever and all of them drowned, just as Lommy feared.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, they drowned over Mordor where the water was so polluted that they came back to life as mutated giant Penguins of death with top hats! :eek:

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, Sauron saw their mutantness as a threat to his supreme authority, and proceeded to destroy them all for good.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, even Sauron couldn't stop the penguins.

[Rikae]

Fortunately, he didn't need to since he'd already destroyed them.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, Morgoth came back from the Void.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Eru turned him into a yak.

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately Morgoth couldn't quit yakking.

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, Mt. Zoom rolled over him.

[Rikae]

Unfortunately, he survived to become "The Flat Morgo-Yak"

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, there were too many running-gags and this new one was flatly denied, isntead we bring you more adventures of Gil-Galad and Johnny the Stinky-Balrog Vs. Were-Feanor!!!

[elronds_daughter]

Unfortunately, this legendary match-up was...(drumroll)...a never-ending song-and-dance competition.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Boromir the Disco King beat both of them in the contest.

[doom_hammer]

Unfortunately, they kept having contests untill they won.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, Gimli beat them all.

[Naria]

Unfortunately, it was with his axe! And let's just say...that it wasn't very pretty ;)

[Rikae]

Fortunately, this did away with three or four running gags at once. Go, Gimli!

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the alien-eating dog stole Gimli's axe.

(Yes, it was originally "alien-eating dog," not "mutant dog." See Post#552, I think it was.)

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, the Alien-Eating dog had a cousin, the Mutant Dog, and they fill in for each other time and time again.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, The Phantom's best friend ;) Alien ate both dogs!

[Volo]

Fortunately, Alien ate everybody else too... (shouldn't this ne unfortunately? nah...)

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately (for Alien), the phantom locked him in a dungeon for being excessively annoying.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, he was made of slime and so could slip through the bars and under doors and go to freedom!

[Rikae]

Fortunately (for everybody else) Alien had no digestive juices (no nervous system, either!) and so they rebuilt Middle Earth inside his stomach and continued as before, except that the sky was red, and wherever anybody said something like "the red dawn" or "a red sun rises" everyone would burst into maniacal laughter.

X posted w/ Goomba..

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, nobody realized that this thread has reached 100 posts and will soon be up for deletion as it begins to glow red to quell the rising population of the Downs


sounds like a movie...

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Gil-Galad's announcement of impending doom was cut off by Bob the Troll's club coming down on his head.

[Rikae]

Unfortunately, not before Rikae thought the better of ignoring Gil's hints and slunk off, never to return. :(

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, this caused Bob the Troll to commit suicide, ending yet another running gag.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Bob the Troll had attempted to commit suicide by bonking himself on the head with his club, and needless to say, this was not a particularly vital area for a dim-witted troll. ;)

[doom_hammer]

fortunately, a shotgun spead things up.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, the shotgun was clogged up with glue.

[Valesse]

Fortunately there wasn't enough glue to keep the bullet from firing.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately the bullet proved to be defective
(one of Saruman's less successful experiments
with "upgrading" Middle-earth technology).

[Rikae]

Fortunately, its defect was such that it caused a massive explosion, blowing Bob, the dog, the alien and everything else in a 15 mile radius into confetti.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, it also blew a huge hole in the time-space continuum.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately this was all right, because the other end of the hole was in the Cracks of Doom, and all the running gags got sucked in.

[doom_hammer]

Unfortunately the gags still somehow got away

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the Flat Morgo-Yak ate them all.

EDIT: Woohoo! This is my 1500th post!

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, the Flat Morgo-Yak proceeded to take over the world.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the world staged a coup and sent
the Flat Morgo-Yak to live with Gollum under the
Misty Mountains.

[ninja91]

Unfortunately, the two got into a drunken brawl after an hour of reminiscing.

[Rikae]

Fortunately, Gollum was as good at fighting two-dimensional foes as invisible ones, and he bit off the flat Morgo-yak's hoof.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, he began to bleed all over the place.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately for Gollum, he was thirsty and
had a vera refreshing drink. :eek:

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, the Morgo-Yak had AIDS and Gollum soon died in a wheelchair

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, Gollum discovered the cure for AIDS before he died.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Gollum still died

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, this particular storyline was getting too questionable to be left intact and was cancelled, leaving poor Gimli still trying to find something to eat.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Gimli was bitten by a descendant
of one of Sauron's Beleriand pet bats and
developed a taste for orc blood.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, an Oliphaunt trampled Gimli and squished him before he could hurt anyone.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, Gimli was now quite dead. (And flat as well.)

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, Flat Gimli had the Flat Morgo-yak for company.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately they were Mortal enemies

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, they suddenly became immortal for no reason, and so they put all their differences aside.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, they became Immortal enemies seeing how they were no longer mortal enemies.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, they were too preoccupied with destroying each other that they didn't harm Frodo on his way to Mount Doom.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, they somehow managed to flatten Aragorn as well.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, the shock wave created by the flattening of Aragorn sent Frodo right next to Mount Doom! :smokin:

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, it knocked him into Mount Doom.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, it was a two-dimensional Flat World
so three-dimensional Frodo walked right over it.

[Meneltarmacil]
