Fortunately/Unfortunately

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately for the wargs, the hobbits were armed
with feathers, and, as everyone knows, wargs are
very ticklish. :D

[Loslote]

Fortunately for the Wargs, their buddies the Orcs were passing by.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, the didn't stop, and continued passing by.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, in exchange for not tickling them, the wargs
gave the hobbits rides all the way to the Green Dragon.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the Green Dragon was close for Thanksgiving.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, they arrived on Boxing Day.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, Frodo was promptly challenged to a boxing match.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the match was with Rosie Cotton.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, Rosie had been the boxing champ for five years running.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Thief Frodo always used some brass knuckles
he had stolen from Gollum when he sparred with other hobbits.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, they were too big and fell off his hand.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately (for people watching), the sky turned pink, giving the fight an amazingly ridiculous backdrop.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, this was caused by a factory that made pink paint exploding in Hobbiton.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, no-one was harmed.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately, no one was harmed.:p

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the factory had taken out a good insurance policy in case of explosions.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, a stray dragon fireworks set off by
Merry and Pippin caused the explosion so the insurer
made them wash hundreds of dishes.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, they broke all the dishes and so got out of washing them.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Gandalf used a particularly potent
wizard's spell to put the dishes back together
(after all, it was his fireworks dragon :mad: ).

[Loslote]

Fortunately, all the hobbits were immune to magic by this point.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately, this was not magic at all, but the power of persuasion.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the hobbits were adept in the art of ignoring wizards.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Gandalf turned the hobbits into something,
unnatural, until they agreed to do the dishes.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the hobbits did not mind, as this provided them with another opportunity to have a feast with their new unnatural friends.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately the dishes multiplied exponentially because the hobbits still won't wash them.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the exponent was -1, so the dishes disappeared rapidly.

[Morsul the Dark]

unfortunately mathematically speaking -1 would make the dishes disappear then reappear...

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong (Mrs.) stated strongly, in a
letter to The Times:

I've noticed a tendency for these "dish" comments to get rather silly. Now I do my best to keep things moving along, but I'm not having things getting silly. Those two last comments were very silly indeed, and that last one about disappearing and reappearing dishes was even sillier. Now nobody likes a good laugh more than I do...except perhaps my wife and some of her friends. Come to think of it most people like a good laugh more than I do. But that's beside the point. Now, let's have a good clean healthy thread here. As you were. Carry on.

Btw, his wife objects to all this sex on the telly.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, singing lumberjacks still existed.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, they only live in Harad.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, the lumberjacks girlfriends (hippie elves! )
no longer consider them butch.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, they don't care, because they're elves.

[Morsul the Dark]

Unfortunately The elf women decided go go out with Dwarf men who were far more butch

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=338919&postcount=5

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately the elf women had a great time because
when dwarf men let their hair down they really PAR-TAY!
Roaring fires, malt beer, ripe meat off the bone!

(And of course there is that "dark" elf/dwarf progeny theory).

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the lumberjacks crashed the party.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, the provided entertainment in the form of song.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, disgusted Mounties chased them into Mordor.

[mark12_30]

UNfortunately, instead of singing monty python, they sang "The Ballad of BIlbo Baggins" while impersonating Leonard Nimoy en masse.

[mark12_30]

Crossposted with Tuor!
FOrtunately, the mounties ran into a number of red-shirted landing-party security guards who were clearly in the script only to be killed off, so the lumberjacks had plenty of time to dress as orcs.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, they couldn't find any orc costumes.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately,, they had lots of mearas to ride
and found some Dennis Moore costumes.

(Lumberjacks ride off to Laketown singing)
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore
Galloping through the sward
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore
And his horse Concorde
He steals from the rich
And gives to the poor
Mr. Moore, Mr. Moore, Mr. Moore.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, none of them could sing on key.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, their elf girlfriends could and
formed an all elf-girl band: The Rivendell Rockers. :cool:

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, The Rivendell Rockers soon began infighting and had to break up.

[Morsul the Dark]

Fortunately Arawen, the lead singer, started a solo singing career

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the rest of the band sued her for stealing their songs.

[Morsul the Dark]

Fortunately She hired a dwarven lawyer, who as everyone knows, are the shrewdest lawyers.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the rest of the band poisoned the lawyer so he couldn't come to court.

[Morsul the Dark]

Fortunaely(sort of) the case was thrown out and the other band members arested for murder

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the band had not killed the dwarf, only temporarily poisoned him, so Arawen was arrested for overreacting.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Arwen got off on a technicality (her name was
misspelled) and led her reunited band on a triumphant gig
at post WotR Gondor: the famous We Are the Champions of the World
tour.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately the venue was not ready when the Rivendell Rockers arrived.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, they were able to perform to an SRO
audience at Gimli's newly renovated GCoAMH
Glittering Caves of Aglarond Music Hall.

(Due to the 1/2 million attendees numbers, and thanks to
GCoAMH's great acoustics, many of them actually enjoyed
the concert at nearby Grima Yasgur's farm).

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, most of the audience slept through the concert.

[Lindale]

Fortunately the guy who sold food at the concert made some money.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, they ran out of everything but broiled cram.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, everyone loved it.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Laketown merchants successfully
sued for copyright infringement of their popular brand (favored by
dwarf adventurers and extreme hikers) CRAM-IT!

[Laurinquë]

Fortunately, the Laketown merchants had their case thrown out soon when it came up that Boromir had already put a patent on broiled cram.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately it had expired.

[Loslote]

Fortunately Boromir was dead already, so the dwarves were able to bribe the judge into looking the other way.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately for the dwarves, Galadriel started up a
competing brand (Lembas +) which became especially popular
with halflings when two hobbits found that when eaten in excess
it made a powerful laxative.

[Loslote]

Fortunately the Lembas stimulated the Hobbit's economy and saved them from a credit failure.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, it took business away from local Hobbit companies which fell into bankruptcy.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Fatty Bolger's company, Lembas LLC, bought
up the bankrupt companies with the financial backing of
his wealthy recluse silent partner Tom B.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, all its members died of mysterious digestion-related problems.

[Lindale]

Fortunately they were turned into undead.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately orcs found the undead to be delicious.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the undead were able to feed the Lembas LLC to the Orcs, who also turned into undead.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, this lead to "Undead-Off"s between orcs and humans.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, this developed into the dance-off of the century.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, this developed into a form of dance-fighting.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, this was extremely fun to watch.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, some watching dwarves decided to teach
the undead orcs how to line dance (not a pretty sight :eek: ).

[Lindale]

Fortunately there was a group of Silvan elves nearby.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, they didn't do anything.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, they didn't have to - their mere presence turned this otherwise repulsive dance-off into a festive party.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, three stone trolls decided
to crash the dance-off.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, they "rocked"!

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, they distracted everyone from the undead, who fled from the loud noises.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, this meant Rosie Cotton and the Master of
Laketown (a.k.a. Tom Delay) won Dancing With the Stars:
Eriador Edition.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately the Elves of Eregion protested.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately they were ignored.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Rosie and friend were challenged to
a dance-off by Ioreth and Wormtongue.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, Ioreth and Wormtounge got held up at the airport because their luggage was too heavy.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Sauron (who had some heavy bets on
them at a Shire gambling emporium) had one of his
pteradactyls fly the winsome couple and their luggage in.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the luggage fell off somewhere over Mirkwood, and Ioreth insisted they go back and look for it, because she'd packed the good china.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, the elf king needed some good china and
called: "No Backsees!"

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the china had mysteriously survive the crash, so the elf king was able to eat off something that didn't give his tongue splinters for a change.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, some (apparently invisible) person
took all the china away while all the elves were
sleeping off a big par-tay.
(Dowinion wine rocks!)

[Loslote]

Fortunately, they needed good china, too, so the china went to a good home.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, twelve dwarves smashed the
china during an unexpected party.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the party was a lot of fun.

[Glirdan]

Unfortunately, the next morning was not as pleasant...

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the dwarves cleaned up after the party.

[Bes]

Unfortunately, they cleaned up by tossing everything into the nearest river.

[wilwarin538]

Fortunately, that was better then tossing it all onto the Elf King's bed...

[Bes]

Unfortunately, the Elf King's bed clothes were being washed that same morning, and as a consequence were torn to shreds by shards of once very fine china.

[wilwarin538]

Fortunately, torn up bed clothes were the new "in" style in Mirkwood

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, the Elf King was still too inebriated to care much about his sheets or fine china. Instead, he cared more for the two uneaten hamburgers sitting on the plate next to him

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, they were actually hobbits and the plate was a circle of stone on which he had hit his head falling.

[Bes]

Fortunately, the stone circle was padded with pillows, so there was no significant head injury.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, the Elf-king still thought the hobbits were uneaten hamburgers.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately. the elf-king was a vegan.

[Bes]

Unfortunately, he felt that the best way to honor the cow the hamburgers came from was to have them disposed of in the traditional style of animal sacrifice: They were to be burned.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, it started to rain.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, it was cloudy and rained meatballs.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the meatballs distracted the elf king from the "hamburger meat".

[Bes]

Unfortunately, the rain of meatballs attracted goblins.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, they were so busy eating the meatballs that the elves could run away.

[Bes]

Unfortunately, the hobbits were so in awe of the Goblins' meatball eating prowess that they forgot to run away with the elves.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the goblins did not think the hobbits were hamburger meat.

[The Might]

Been so long since I last posted on this thread... :eek:

Unfortunately, the hobbits did think they were hamburger meat and started eating each other.

[Bes]

Fortunately, Gandalf chose this moment to ride up, knock the hobbits' heads together, and throw them onto Shadowfax's back before they could get up to any more hobbit foolishness.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the hobbits fell off before Gandalf could show them the meaning of haste.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the hobbits were picked up by Eagles and
taken to Bilbo's Farewell Party.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately, all the food had been eaten already by the time they came.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately (at least they believed so), there was still some "hamburger meat" left over.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately the supposed hamburger beef was sold by the pound.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately for some passing orcs, it was being sold cheaply.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately the Orcs had no usable currency.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, the did have usable swords.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately they accidentally hacked and rendered useless the supposed hamburger meat.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, Boromir came along to save the day.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, he was attacked by rabid wargs on the way there.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Boromir bit the rabid wargs
and they went away crying.

Despite Boromir's shouting:
"There's no crying in Middle-earth battles!"

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the wargs did not get the A League Of Their Own reference.

[Lindale]

Fortunately for the Wargs, Sharkey was passing by.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, he was on his way to a Grey Havens party and didn't stop.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, he DID stop in Bree to rest and meet up with his old friend, Gandalf the Grey.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, the aforementioned wargs also stopped at Bree.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the wargs were happy to give
all the hobbits rides to the party after they
asked Sharkey: "Where wolf?"

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the hobbits did not have fun at the party.

[Lindale]

Fortunately, there was an after-party at Bilbo's.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, they then went on a binge
and trashed The Prancing Pony.
(Hey, it was spring break).

[Loslote]

Fortunately, they were able to sleep it off before the next party at Pippin's house.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately, Pippin didn't know there were people in his house.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, he never found out, because his house is huge.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, the house was so large no one
could find the wine cellar. :(

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, Pippin actually lived next to the Green Dragon, so they all went there instead.

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, it had run out of drinks.

[Lindale]

Fortunately Legolas was walking around.

[Glirdan]

Unfortunately, all that Captain Obvious did was...well, point out the obvious: there was no drinks left at the Green Dragon.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, he threw a tenper tantrum and his
daddy had his butler send him some Dorwinion wine.

[Bes]

Unfortunately, Frodo was allergic, which he discovered upon drinking the wine...

[Loslote]

Fortunately, everyone thought his antics were his trying to start Charades, so he didn't ruin the party.

[Glirdan]

Unfortunately, he did steal Bilbo's thunder as this party was in fact Bilbo's 111th birthday party and he was just about to "slip" away unnoticed.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, everyone thought that Frodo was trying to tell them to look at Bilbo, so he did get his moment in the spotlight.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately, Gandalf's fireworks got wet.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, Gandalf had spares.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, Merry and Pippin stole
the spare fireworks.

[Bes]

Fortunately(?), they managed to blow themselves up with them almost immediately, saving Gandalf the effort of doing it himself.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, this meant that their stunt doubles had to fill in for the rest of the movies.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, their stunt doubles became famous

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the paparazzi stalked them to Middle Earth.

[Lindale]

Fortunately, the paparazzi saw Noldorin Elves, and decided they were so much more interesting than stalking Merry and Pippin.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the Noldor decided that the paparazzi must be fiends of Morgoth.

[Bes]

Fortunately, due to the rapid succession of many, many camera flashes from the paparazzi, the Noldor couldn't see to destroy them

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the paparazzi couldn't get back to the Real World to sell the pictures.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, they liked Middle-Earth.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately some of the Noldor hunted them.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, they actually turned out to be Orcs in disguise

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the Noldor got mad at the Orcs for the disguise.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the orcs made nice with the Noldor by getting rid of the paparazzi
by sending them to Saruman to document his triumphant conquest of Rohan.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the paparazzi blinded Saruman with all the camera flashes.

[Airaloske]

fortunately Saruman had his trust Shades of Many Colours tucked into the glove compartment on his staff.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, they fell out when he tried to get them and one of the paparazzi stole them.

[Airaloske]

fortunately it was really a secret White Hand agent in disguise so instead of snapping them in half or selling them on the Dol-Internet he handed them back with a wink.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, Saruman was offended by the impertanace and vaporized the agent.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, there were many more where he came from

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, Saruman was not strong enough to vaporize them all.

[Airaloske]

fortunately Gandalf was nearby to set them all on fire.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately Gandalf's white robes were also set on fire

[Loslote]

Fortunately, he had some spare grey ones.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, the paparazzi had taken the spare robes to
Elrond's studio for a photo spread for
Middle-earth Uncovered magazine.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, Elrond didn't know about the magazine operating out of the Last Lonely House.

[Airaloske]

unfortunately he was notified when he topped their "worst-dressed in eggplant" list.

[Lindale]

Fortunately, Galadriel sent him new robes.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, they were puke green colored.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, he liked them.

[Bes]

Unfortunately, it was Galadriel's duty as a mother in law to continue sending Elrond thins until he did receive something both terribly unflattering and that he did not like.

[Airaloske]

fortunately Elrond had no fashion sense

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, this was what caused Celebrian to leave Middle Earth, not the goblins like Elrond told people.

[Airaloske]

fortunately she was starting to get on Elrond's nerves anyway, constantly spending all of his money at the Gap of Rohan

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, she'd spent even more of Elrond's
money at Galadriel's Secret. (Now you know how
she kept Celeborn's interest for so long). ;)

[Loslote]

Fortunately, it was all tax-deductable.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately it was Annatar who taxed them, so it was still too large a sum

[Loslote]

Fortunately, his IRS agents, being blind, are really easy to fool.

[Airaloske]

unfortunately, tax men (as is common knowledge among the many folk of Middle Earth) have exceptionally good senses of smell; so good, in fact, that they can -read- only by using their noses. It is a trait that they have adopted over the centuries from close dealings with the Nazgul, because everyone knows that the only things worse than the Nazgul are tax men.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Denethor, in one of his shrewder moves,
had set up Tolfalas as an offshore tax haven.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the bubonic plague soon drove the poor tax-evading souls from their haven.

[Lindale]

Fortunately Queen Beruthiel had a *magic* cure for bubonic plague.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, she wouldn't share because she's an evil Queenie.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, her evil cats were eager to share
in return for some high quality catnip. :cool:

[Lindale]

Unfortunately the white cat was kidnapped by a bunch of cat-hating ruffians.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately the white cat escaped using the knowledge
it had gained by reading the Minas Tirith best-seller:
101 Things To Do With Cat-Hating Ruffians.

[Glirdan]

Unfortunately, cats can't read....

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Fortunately, however cats DO make exceptional lawyers.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, they use this skill to their own advantage - and everyone else's disadvantage.

[Lindale]

Fortunately Legolas understands the language of cats.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, he was unable to translate because of a severe chill that kept him at home.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Fortunately, elves never get cold, so said chill never really had an effect.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, his mother was still paranoid, and made him stay home.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Fortunately, his father wasn't. He told Legolas to drink some wine and go do something.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, Legolas took his father's suggestion a bit too seriously, and got extremely drunk.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, it happened to be with his best friend Gimli so all was well.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately, there was some mischief with some other dwarves and a hobbit that Leggie got blamed for.

[Loslote]

Fortunately, the dwarves and hobbit all died so Leggie didn't have to pay medical bills.

[Galadriel]

Unfortunately, he got sued anyway.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Mandos explained that it was fated
that Leggy would get off scott free, so everyone
decided to go and give Bilbo an unexpected party.

[Morsul the Dark]

Unfortunately Mandos Then decreed that Legolas would have to Pay at least the cost of the party

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, Leggy was a Prince and therefore had no problem paying for half the cost of the party.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately Sharkey and Wormtongue crashed the party.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately they died of mysterious "mushroom-related incidents".

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the incident was that they ate all the mushrooms and the hobbits killed them in revenge, leaving them with a mess - and no mushrooms. :(

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately (for him) Sharkey, being a maia, quickly
reconstituted himself and organized a mushroom cartel
to get back at those uppity hobbits.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately (for Sharkey) the hobbits were waiting for him again, blade in hand.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately (for Sharkey) he bought off the hobbits with a
22 % share in his mushroom cartel (plus 10 % for Farmer Maggott
as CEO). This was the start of Maggott's fabled rise to become
the hobbit Warren Buffett.

[Loslote]

Unfortunately, the hobbits teased him about his new name.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, Farmer Maggott ignored the teasing of his
bff Sharkey and joined him in successfully opening a
line of all organic mushroom/bacon omelets (very
popular with elves and rangers at the Prancing Pony).

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, a crafty Annatar took away all of his business with his genetically modified Super Monster Mushrooms of Doom.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, Yavanna decided to make Super Monster Mushroom Eating Plants of Doom (which also happened to be poison resistant)

[Pitchwife]

Unfortunately, the Super Monster Mushroom Eating Plants of Doom were eaten by Lalaith's Pet Ultra Super-Duper Mutant Ninja Dragonslaying Chameleonic Goose-Pony Chimaeras of Insuperable Awesomeness.

[Blind Guardian]

Fortuntely said plants are scared of light, thus allowing Feänor to defeat them!

[Eönwë]

Unfortunately, Lalaith ripped out Feanor's spine while her geese distracted him.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately, Lalaith's geese had a deadly and contagious disease which spread to Lalaith and all those around them.

[Blind Guardian]

Fortunetly Feänor didn't catch it (or would that be unfortunet? :D)

[Lindale]

Unfortunately, Mandos did catch it.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately Mandos found he was only a carrier and was
doomed to pass it on to Morgoth.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately Mandos couldn't find Morgy.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately Mandos found Ungoliant (could that be
why she died?) :eek:

[Blind Guardian]

UnFortunately Melkor found the cure.

Edit: didn't see there was another post.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Fortunately, the cure involved Melkor
becoming coach to the orcish soccer team
The Thangorodrim Thrashers (who made it to
the finals of the Beleriand Cup).

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately, football was banned in Arda.

[Glirdan]

Fortunately, soccer was not :p

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), all sport was then banned by Eru himself.

[Lindale]

Fortunately, the athletes of Arda under Tulkas' leadership went on a strike.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately, this led to a shortage of food and pretty much everything else since the athletes of Arda did most manual labour.

[Lindale]

Fortunately, Yavanna came along with a big basket of goodies.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Unfortunately, the basket of goodies was filled with lice.

[Eönwë]

Fortunately, the lice tasted nice with rice.

[Glirdan]

Unfortunately (for Eonwe at least :p) rhyming was banned.

[satansaloser2005]

Unfortunately (for Eonwe at least :p) rhyming was banned.

Fortunately Eonwe changed his name to Steve, and then rhyming was compulsory.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Unfortunately, I've noticed a tendency for this thread to get rather silly. Now I do my best to keep things moving along, but I'm not having things getting silly. Those two last posts got very silly indeed, and that last one was even sillier. Now, nobody likes a good laugh more than I do...except perhaps my wife and some of her friends...oh yes and Captain Johnston. Come to think of it most people like a good laugh more than I do. But that's beside the point. Now, let's have a good clean healthy thread. Get some air into your lungs. Ten, nine, eight and all that.

That's all. Carry on.

Oh, and keep watching the skies for any blancmanges coming from the planet Skyron in the Galaxy of Andromeda.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Fortunately, since nobody could really put a proper response to that last post, there was a great confusion in which Aragorn was crowned King.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately, he was crowned in Edoras not in Minas Tirith.

[Vilvarine]

Unfortunately, when everybody got a great and happy life with love and happiness, and when Melkor and Sauron were defeated (because at the end they were very good friends except the fact that they were fighting for Barad-dur tower ), Eru Iluvatar, the master of all living and not- living, says to all Valars that this was the song, which predicts the future of the happening and all of this is about to happen in the close years... or centuries.. or whatever you like!

[Finrod Felagund]

Unfortunately, he was crowned in Edoras not in Minas Tirith.

Can't understand the last statement. O_O

Fortunately, most of his people migrated to Rohan at the time of his Coronation.

[Lindale]

Unfortunately, the Rohirrim didn't want the Dunedain to migrate to Rohan.

[Finrod Felagund]

Fortunately, the Dunedain prevailed and drove the Rohirrim away.
