Fortunately/Unfortunately

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, it was a poor joke extended too far.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, everyone at least understood the joke.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, the Orc workers didn't and rioted

[The Might]

Fortunately cheap work force from developing countries quickly replaced them

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, the developing countries all simultaneously passed minimum wage laws, making their workforces not so cheap.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, the developing country people did not know of this

[The Sixth Wizard]

Unfortunately this meant ill for the poor workers.

[Precioussss]

Fortunately, the orc-union made a deal with their employers, regaining their jobs and sending the scab workers back to their developing country.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the deal was that they could go out and burn Minas Tirith to the ground before heading back to work.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately Local 3021 of the Guild of Tower Guards were
picketing and orc solidarity led them to join the strike to
support their union brothers and sisters :Merisu: (they were
striking for equal rights for women in the guards).

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, this time dwarves had been hired as scabs.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Mount Zoom ran over the dwarves.

[Rikae]

Unfortunately, it didn't have "dwarf tires" on and skidded into the Anduin with a sickening crash ... er, splash.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, they turned Mount Zoom into a hydroelectric dam to generate power for all of Gondor.

[Precioussss]

Unfortunately, the orcs were still on strike, and getting mighty upset.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Eru hired Were-Feanor to masacre them and masscre them he did...

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Bob the Troll clubbed Were-Feanor over the head before he could do anything.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, Were-Feanor could time travel.

[Precioussss]

Unfortunately, Were-Feanor's time travelling abilities backfired and he went forward in time to find that Bob's club had done him in.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, his disappearance from the timeline at that point had altered history so that Bob's club never hit him.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Unfortunately he could also travel through space, because of...

Eddies in the space time continuum! (he is?)

Anyway Were-Feanor ended up a few metres underground, embedded in solid rock. Bummer.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

fortunately, Elrond the Swindler, swindled him out of the solid rock for a modest fee (don't ask me why or how)

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, he was dead from being in the rock, and he had no chance of becoming a zombie.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Eru's favourite character in this thread was Were-Feanor, so with a snap of his fingers, Were-Feanor Rematerialized in the middle of a meat-plant

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately for the meat-plant Were-Feanor was a devotee of
the Galadriel low-fat high-meat-plant diet (rich in omega-3s from
the meat-plant's diet of baby Watchers) and Were-Feanor enjoyed a delicious snack.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the meat-plant was actually named the way it was because it was carnivorous, and it gobbled up Were-Feanor.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Were-Feanor ate himself out of it and renamed it the Meat-Factory to end all confusion

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the plant was also quite poisonous, and Were-Feanor died shortly after eating it.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Radagast healed Were-Feanor of this poison

[Rikae]

Fortunately, Were-Feanor, being resurrected so near Easter, became the epitome of good; the very embodiment of love, peace and benevolence.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, the moon set and the sun rose, turning Were-Feanor into Feanor, thereby undoing all good influence effects.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Feanor viewed the video playback and decided to be what Were-Feanor turned into

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, that was himself, not a good person.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Mandos discovered that Feanor had broken
parole by consorting with werewolves and were-Feanors
so he hauled him back to the Halls of Mandos.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Mount Zoom ran over Mandos.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Mandos asked eru to eliminate wheels from the song, and eru owe Mandos for watering his plants and obliged, thus Mt. Zoom can not run anyone over anymore... it can slide on them... or stare em down... but not drive over them.

[Damrod]

Unfortunately, the immobile Mount Zoom erupted and buried Mandos in ash and magma.

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Fortunantely, Mount Zoom had got confused somewhere along the line and spewed out frozen ash and magma.

[Rikae]

Unfotunately, having several tons of frozen ash and magma on top of one is still incompatible with life.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Bob the Troll managed to dig Mandos out of the rubble.

[Rikae]

Unfortunately, Metelcarmenil ran over both of them.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Meneltarmacil imagination is only a danger to himself and no one else

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, Mandos disliked author insertion and beat everyone to near death before throwing them in the void.

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Fortunately the void had secretly been replaced with a Spa hotel by Sauron, fearing he would one day be cast into the void.

[The Might]

Unfortunately the spa was already filled with guests

[Thinlómien]

Fortunately there was still room in the stables...

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortuantely, only room enough for one hobbit in the stables

[Rikae]

Fortunatly, all the wights were smaller than that particular hobbit.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, THE DRAGON CAME and burned up the spa hotel and stables.

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Fortunately they didnt really like the spa anyway

[Boromir88]

unfortunately they loved the hotel and stables

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, they managed to find a better hotel/stable complex in Bree.

[Volo]

Unfortunaly, it wasn't for free.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, they had a million gold coins.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, it cost them 2 million gold coins, i was a rush season

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, a rich uncle died and donated 400 million gold coins to them.

[The Might]

Unfortunately, there was a special clause saying they would only get the money if they agree to donate 99% to charity

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, none of them realized this as they hadn't read the fine print.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Unfortunately, the charities went broke, including the ones protesting against running-jokes, and Were-Feanor, Johnny the Stinky Balrog and Uncloaked Gandalf came back to terrorrize the world.

<EDIT>

Do you think this thread could possibly get as big as Crazy Captions?! It's up to 4,800 or so posts already, CC took approximately 32 months to get to 4,800, and this has taken approx. 25. . . Boromir88, I'm thinking big here!

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, the world was ready for the comeback of those lovable characters


(too out last Crazy Captions, all we must do is wait till every LOTr picture is used on that thread, then victory is ours!)

[Boromir88]

Unfortunately, like all other comebacks, they failed to make strong ones...and Johnny the Stinky Balrog, Were-Feanor, and Gandalf ended up on the burnt out celebrity reality TV shows

Do you think this thread could possibly get as big as Crazy Captions?! It's up to 4,800 or so posts already, CC took approximately 32 months to get to 4,800, and this has taken approx. 25. . . Boromir88, I'm thinking big here!~The Sixth
I think it was Hookbill that was talking about that a while ago, that this thread was going like Crazy Captions. I'm glad people enjoy participating :D .

Oh yes Gil, that won't take too much longer to happen... :p

[The Might]

Fortunately, they all went on the Maury Povich (or how that strange guy is called) and got famous.
Challenged by one of the problematic teen girls that was teking her clothes off, Gandalf uncloaked, and killed the audience.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, the audience only included 5 very mean people... that kick puppies...

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Were-Feanor, Johnny the Stinky Balrog and Uncloaked Gandalf
were in the studio next door and followed the directions of host Jon
Stewart to find under each of their chairs a chilled container of
Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream! :cool:

[Precioussss]

Unfortunately, it was actually only apple juice. :(

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Willie Nelson had put "weed" not "wheat"
in the apple juice (to go with his Peach Cobbler Ice Cream)
which Johnny the Stinky Balrog found especially energizing.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately,

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a1/Futurama_morbo.jpg


WEED DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT

[Rikae]

Fortunately, he added some speed as well.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Unfortunately, he couldn't help but have a sniff, became addicted and blew 7 Billion American Dollars on drugs!

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, the 7 Million Dollars went to Elrond, who gave it to a worth-while charity fund

[Rikae]

Unfortunately, the worth-while charity was clearing the rubble out of Mordor...and in the ash and volcanic rock around Mount Doom they found ...the One Ring. (Apparently, it was actually made in Hong Kong!)

[Lord Melkor]

Fortunately the charity (being a charity) decided to melt the Ring in the fires of Mount Doom so they could sell the gold and use the proceeds to create a foundation for the advancement of Hobbits without hair on their feet.

[Rikae]

Unfortunately, they couldn't melt it in Mount Doom because it wasn't made there. :rolleyes:

[Lord Melkor]

Fortunately the Orcish name for Mount Doom happened to be Hong Kong. ;)

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, throwing the Ring into a moat of lava near the rubble of Barad-Dur worked too.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Fortunately that's not very unfortunate.

[Thinlómien]

Unfortunately it became very unfortunate.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Fortunately Lommy hasn't told us HOW it became so very unfortunate. :Merisu:

[Thinlómien]

Unfortunately, she did but it was censored by the aliens living on top of the Mount Zoom.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Fortunately

The possibly traumatising and violent nature of what was censored was made openly public (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18202878/#nbc17state) despite mourning victims, and was later defended by the aliens atop the mountain.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the Demon Duck of Doom (http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/endangered-species/mg16622404.800) came and ate everyone, including The Sixth Wizard and the aliens.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Fortunately, in a manner similar to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73hH8fx4hEg the moon became evil and fell on the Demon Duck of Doom, killing it.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, everyone on Middle Earth decided that this was going to far from... Middle Earth, so they had a dance-off

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Boromir got a chance to show off his incredible disco skills.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortuantely, being a zombie, it was at the risk of losing his limbs

[Precioussss]

Fortunately, none of his limbs fell off and Boromir was once again crowned the Disco King of Middle Earth.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, last years winner, Bizarro-Boromir, refused to give the crown up to Zombie-Boromir

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Bizarro-Boromir fell into a bottomless pit.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, out of this pit rose a giant beast made of lava, formed when a Silmaril fell into a deep chasm in the ground.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, he was really a gentle, friendly sort of beast.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, out of a pit in the ocean arose a giant beast made of lava (giving
Bizarro-Boromir a ride out from the ocean depths where he had tunneled from the chasm in the ground), formed when a Silmaril was tossed into the ocean.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Bizarro-Boromir had a change of heart and gave the crown back to Zombie-Boromir

[Precioussss]

Unfortunately, the crown was made of silver, which clashed with the gold sequins on zombie-Boromir's disco jumpsuit.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, they just made a new crown

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, it was made of uranium and the radiation messed up his brain.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, he is a zombie and he wont need his brain.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Unfortunately, yes he does, as most zombie movies display to open view.

[Precioussss]

Fortunately, being a zombie with his brain in full view means that he can have a messed-up brain, in fact it makes him more zombie-ish!

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Unfortunately, scince his brain was showing a group of brain eating hobbits came to have a meal.

[Precioussss]

Fortunately, Bill the Pony awoke to discover it was all a very bad dream.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Bill the Pony awoke in one of the seemingly
interminable recent movies of London falling apart,
being attacked by zombies, etc. :eek:

[Beregond]

Fortunately, Bill the Pony had his laser eyes to protect himself with, and even the zombies ran from him in fear!

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Bill accidently shot his best friend...Will... and vowed never to use his laser eyes ever again

[Beregond]

Fortunately, he had already liquefied the entire race of zombies, and the world hailed Bill as a great hero, showering him with maize and praise.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, they piled so much maize onto the poor pony that he was squished.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Fortunately, in his time as the Necromancer, the one thing Sauron actually learned to bring back from the dead was a pony.

[Beregond]

Unfortunately, Sauron isn't nice.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Bill the zombie-pony was

[Beregond]

Unfortunately, Sauron doesn't like those who are nice, so he refused to let Bill the zombie-pony join his legion of zombie-ponies.

[The 1,000 Reader]

Fortunately, in a manner akin to the Silmarillion, Bill the Zombie Pony confronted Sauron, who in his idiocy, sent his ponies out one by one into a trap to their doom before going out himself, wasting a perfect opportunity, and being defeated by Bill the Zombie Pony.

[Beregond]

Unfortunately, four and thirty leagues away, Gandalf accidentally dropped his ice cream cone into the grass.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Bill the Zombie Pony saved it for Gandalf and gave it back to him and rode off into the sunset to save ice cream another day!

[Beregond]

Unfortunately, is was neapolitan.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Fortunately, you can just chuck out the bad flavours. (Strawberry? Who eats strawberry?)

[Beregond]

Unfortunately, Gandalf didn't like any of the flavours.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Gandalf found some rainbow jello,
and there's always room for jello.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the "jello" was actually a parasitic life form in disguise which took over Gandalf's brain after being eaten.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Fortunately this meant that he couldn't perform his Mega Uncloaking Act (now with 50% more uncloaking!).

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, he could still perform his uncloacking breakdance, which scares us even more...

[Volo]

Fortunaly, Gandalf broke only one table and two chairs.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately the table and chairs were Elrond family
heirlooms (made from one of the less agile ents at
Isengard) so Treebeard naturally insisted on having them cremated.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, there had been a shortage of firewood lately.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Saruman was advertising a great firewood sale:
"Come on down to S & W's lumber yard.
Our prices are INSANE!
Just ride on down the Greenwood and turn left
at THE FORK IN THE ROAD."

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, lightning struck his firewood and caused Orthanc to burn down.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Unfortunately, the fire some how made global warming worse and all of middle earth flooded.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Ulmo made sure that the flooding wouldn't happen.

[Elmo]

Unfortunately Osse woke up with a hangover and so had a sudden urge to smite Arda's creatures with a giant flood

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, Gandalf made an arc and had two of every creature on it.

[THE Ka]

Unfortunately, the entwives were just about fed up the whole kaboodle, and decided to take a life boat off of there...

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, Gandalf put a stop to this by blasting fire balls at the entwives in the life boats.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Gandalf's fireballs missed the life boats
and hit the Titanic (it wasn't an iceberg after all :eek: ).

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the ship had a fireproof hull.

[Elmo]

Unfortunately, it then hit the iceberg.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the subsequent demise of Leonardo DiCaprio increased the size of Legolas's fanbase.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Legolas fanbase realized that real men don't bathe, so they left leggy for aragorn

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately for Aragorn, he was bathing at the time
with a certain Xenaish elf. (Hey, ranger's have been
known to be caught off their guard).

[Elmo]

Unfortunately, they both caught up in the Arda-wide flood that was happening at the time and therefore their bathing lake became slightly wider and deeper.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, they grabbed onto a entwive that just so happend to be bobing dead in the water right next to them.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, she wasn't really dead and liked to eat people.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, gandalf and his trigger happy fire balls soon fixed that

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the Ents all came after him seeking revenge.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Fortunately all they did was sing "Lonely" by Akon, which to be fair is pretty harsh punishment to Aragorn, but at least it didn't kill him.

[Glirdan]

Unfortunately, they started singing Smack That which DID kill him (but it was also due to the fact that he had just seen Gandalf uncloaked! :p)

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, he still had 2 lives left.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Unfortunately, after being tellied back to Lumbridge Castle, he realised that he had lost a full set of rune plate armour, 180k in cash and a dragon two hander!

(I swore I would never play Runescape again, but I still remember the lingo... :eek::rolleyes:)

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, this is Lord of the Rings Online so nobody went to those places anyways

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Aragorn fell in a pit full of quicksand.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, the quicksand led to Ulmo's underwater lair.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortuantely, Ulmos underwater lair was closed for construction

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, ulmo was there so ulmo and aragon had a big party

[The Perky Ent]

Unfortunately, Aragorn got upset because so many people forget the r in his name, and left to go wander alone.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, Aragorn met up with Arwen along the way.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Arwen was married to Gimli now

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, Gimli was not aware of this because he was dead.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Arwen married Zombie-Boromir too in addition to zombie-gimli

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, none of this mattered as she was living in Valinor....she decided to leave after all!!

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the zombies teleported themselves out to where she was.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Gimli was reanimated to whack the zombies.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, they only did a half job so gimli was half zombie, half dwarf, half winnebago

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, he ran them over quite well as a Winnebago.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Sauron lent the zombies a monster truck to run over the winnebago.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Fortunately, the monster truck broke down due to vapor-lock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_lock).

[The Perky Ent]

Unfortunately, The Perky Ent was allergic to vapor-lock, and started to uncontrollably sneeze (and on his birthday, no less!)

:smokin:

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Gil saved him with his ...awesomeness?

[Volo]

Unfortunately, Gil's awesomness began living a life of its own and started rebelling against Gil.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, they both annihilated each other.

[THE Ka]

Unfortunately, they just went on to operate a four star monster-truck mod shop outside of Mordor under the assumed form of 'Awesome of Arda'.

~ Ka

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, there was another flood.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Unfortunately, they had put in preparatory dykes after the first one.

[Elmo]

Fortunately, as it was a Labour government in Middle Earth at the time, those dykes were cruddy.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Unfortunately, just as the cruddy dykes broke the flood rushed back out to sea, then the tsunami came:eek:

[Elmo]

Fortunately it was just Tsunami by the Manic Street Preachers (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q0pFlv4c448) coming on Middle Earth FM, which is a cracking song.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Unfortunately, an evil elf attacked everyone while they were listening to the song.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, the evil elf was using only none lethal weapons without realising it and so killed no one.

[Hammerhand]

unfortunately the evil elf died.






lol

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, the word 'lol' was an incantation that brought him back to life and made him give all the Hobbits a huge supply of cake and tea.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

unfortunately, it was a huge EVIL supply of cake and tea

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Gollum had come by Bagend the day before
and invited himself and twelve friends back for an
EVIL supply of cake and tea party.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Oops! Duplicate copy.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

unfortunately, the twelve friends fell ill and evil to the (din din din) EVIL supply of cake and tea

[Thinlómien]

Fortunately, Gollum didn't.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, while he didn't fall ill, he did fall into a fiery pit of doom setting off a chain reaction that caused all the volcanoes to erupt.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Fortunately, the volcanic ash fertilised the soil for years to come.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, the evil flowers in Morgul Vale found the
volcanic soul especially stimulating.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, they decided to be good and gave everyone tickets to see The Argonath's latest concert.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Unfortunately, the tickets were fake and Gimli had to lock up everyone who had one of these tickets.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Gimli had Legolas's daddy detain
them in his dungeons and they all escaped
down the Running River when the butler
was late returning from an AA meeting.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, a train ran over them once they had climbed onto land.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, the train was made of gravy and so did not harm them at all.

[the phantom]

Unfortunately, it tasted terrible.

[Elmo]

Fortunately, they had already snaffled quite a bit of the elf butler's wine so everything tasted nice

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, once again, THE DRAGON CAME!

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the dragon was allergic to gravy
and got a terriblr rash.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, it was contagious and caused all the inhabitants of middle Earth to need a special cream only found in Sauron's shed.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, some clever elvsees soon made
generic brands of the cream and made millions.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately they blew all of it at the Dunlending Casino and Bar

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Fortunately the Hobbits got the money and bought more ale and pipeweed.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, they all became permanently addicted, and no support group could help.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Fortunately It had healing qualities.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, the S-B's managed to get the patent on it.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, their lawyers weren't very good so they couldn't do much with the patent for it.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, the lawyer was good enough to tie up the case in a legal battle for 500 years.

[elronds_daughter]

Fortunately, that lawyer died by the 493rd year of the court battle and handed it off to someone much more capable.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Saruman got the jurisdiction for the case
moved to Orthanc and appointed Wormtongue as
presiding judge.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Wormtongue was already bought out by the opposing counsel to saruman

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, the opposing counsel was Sauron.

[The Sixth Wizard]

Fortunately, the two sides were so tied up in a useless court-case about pipe-weed's patent they forgot all about the War of the Ring.

[the phantom]

Unfortunately, the case halted pipe-weed production, which put Gandalf, Aragorn, and most of the other good guys out of commission.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, the ones that did not smoke pipe-weed were able to get on with the quest.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, the ones who didn't smoke pipeweed were incapable of completing the quest.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the Eagles gave them a ride.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, the Eagles were distracted by a sale on at M&S.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, they finished their shopping quickly.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, there was a stupid member of staff on the till and they got stuck there for AGES until they forgot what it was they were doing.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Fortunately, while they were held up by all these things it became eagle hunting seasun.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately the eagles left the store.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, the hunters were all waiting outside.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately, the Wargs came, attacked the hunters and then proceeded to eat them.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, the Hunters had Hunter-itis and all the Wargs died as a result of eating them

[Hammerhand]

Unfortunately, the wargs corpses spontaneously combusted; thus showering the neighbouring vicinity with stomach lining and fur.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the wargs stomach lining and fur proved to be an
excellent fertilizer for South Farthing pipeweed, and was much
appreciated by the hobbit agropipeweed industry.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the sun exploded.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, the Sun exploded in the other direction of Middle Earth, so Far Earth and CLose Earth were immediately harmed

[Hammerhand]

Unfortunately, everybody died.

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, nobody interesting had died.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately, Sauron was uninteresting.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, it turned out that interesting Wormtongue
had been the brains behind Sauron and took over
for him (having fooled the hobbits by having a clone
of his shot by the hobbits in the Shire).

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, he proceeded to take over the world.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, all of the people who were killed when the sun exploded earlier rose up as zombies and ate Wormtongue's brains.

[FeRaL sHaDoW]

Unfortunately, at that very moment in time the moon also blew up.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately the moon's explosion only killed flesh eating
zombies (just before they ate Wormtongue's brain).

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, this left Wormtongue completely unnoposed, while he was secretly being controlled by Were-Feanor.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately Were-Feanor was opposed by, and got
a strong spanking from, Were-Galadriel.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately, Mt. Zoom drove over Were-Galadriel thus leaving Were-Feanor in power

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Fortunately, Were-Galadriel's only weakness is lemonade.

[High King Fingolfin]

Unfortunately, Osse's weird sense of humor caused him to make a lemonade storm at thar very moment.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Fortunately, Were-Galadriel was carrying a lemonade-proof umbrella for just such an occasion.

[THE Ka]

Unfortunately, Were-Galadriel had an epidemic of fleas which not only chewed upon her, but her umbrella as well (as it was made from her very own wolfish matts and groomings).

~ Yet Another?! Ka

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, she had plenty of Frontline flea-killer with her.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately (for him), the fleas were
more attracted to were-Celeborn and so
left were-Galadriel alone without need of
the Frontline flea-killer.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, THE DRAGON COMES IN THE NIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunatly for the dragon, The Baggins comes with THE RINGGGGGGGGG!

[High King Fingolfin]

Fortunately, the Baggins came with the ring and destroyed it, starting the Fourth Age.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately the dragon time-slipped to the
First Age and was beaten up by Acalagon the Black. :(

[Elmo]

Fortunately, Earendil came and smited Ancalagon before he could beat up 'The Dragon' too badly and invited the dragon to the celebratory binge drink, sorry I mean banquet.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the intoxicated dragon went berserk and destroyed everything in sight.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Johnny the Stinky Balrog was around and soothed the dragon down to become his new best friend!

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Mount Zoom ran over Johnny.

[Gil-Galad]
