Fortunately/Unfortunately

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the evil giant snake thing named Bob (who happened to weigh about 50 tons or so) fell on the Hobbits, squishing them.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately Gandalf was not crushed.

[Larien Telemnar]

Unfortunately, the Hobbits were.

[Maikadurwen]

Fortunately those were just cardboard standees of the hobbits that were crushed. The actual hobbits were hiding behind a rock.

[Larien Telemnar]

Unfortunately the phone book got eaten by a rabbid rabbit.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, this was not important. So the Hobbits and Gandalf rode off into the horizon... aww, aren’t they sweet?

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, they rode right off a 1000-foot cliff.

[wilwarin538]

Fortunately, our 1000 feet is only 1 inch in Middle-Earth.(everyone's giant there ;) )

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately it was Their 1000-foot cliff(thats a big cliff)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, they landed on a trampoline.

[The Only Real Estel]

Unfortunately, they landed in the middle of the trampoline - where there was a giant hole.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, the ground was incredibly soft and they were unhurt.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the reason the ground was incredibly soft was because it was actually quicksand, so they started sinking.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately some eagles rescued them.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately both the eagles and the hobbits sank in the quick sand, and the eagles vow never to help the hobbits again...

[Vinyacoriel]

Fortunately, the quick sand was only a doorway to an underground cave, so they didn't drowned in the quick sand.

[Kath]

Unfortunately due to the earlier vow of the eagles the Hobbits are now stuck inside then cave.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately Merry had a ball of string.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, it vanished into thin air for absolutely no reason.

[Gil-Galad]

fortunately so did the ring, but it and the ball of string transported to the eagles, so it was now the eagles quest to deliver the ring while the hobbits rot

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the Eagles were attacked by a huge alien spaceship with laser guns.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, due to a gross miscalculation in scale, the entire alien battle fleet was swallowed by a small dog.

[Kath]

Unfortunately the eagles were still sticking by that earlier vow and refused to take the Ring to Mordor as they thought it was 'Hobbit work'.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately Gil-Galad looked on with a smirk seeing how his post is affecting the future of this thread, he steals the ring from the eagles

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, he exploded.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately the fans were upset that Gil-Galad died so they brought him back never to die again

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately (for Gil at least), the ring was far away by now and the Hobbits found it!

[Boromir88]

Fortunately (for Gil-galad) the hobbits lost it and he stumbled upon it again.

[Kath]

Unfortunately (for Gil) he stumbled over the Ring and fell headfirst into a never-ending chasm, never to be seen again.

[Boromir88]

Unfortunately (for Gil) he stumbled over the Ring and fell headfirst into a never-ending chasm, never to be seen again.

and (fortunately) there was much rejoicing.

[THE Ka]

Unfortunately, in the great party that was almost never-ending, the hobbits, once again, lost the ring...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, a friendly figure in black armour and wielding a mace found it and brought it to the hobbits.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately it wasn't Saurons Alter-Ego, Herbert

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, it was really Tom Bombadil in an extremely strange mood. (Or is this "Unfortunately"...?)

[THE Ka]

Unfortunately, ( Yes, it is...) his friend, Travelosity's The Travelling Nome, stole it from him whilst he was in mid-verse of his ring ballad...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I think you mean Gnome, Ka... :D

Fortunately, the Gnome was returning the ring to Frodo and the others.

[Kath]

Unfortunately the Nome (have you never read Terry Pratchett Hookbill) was too small to be seen by the Hobbits and they stepped on him by accident.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, in doing so, they noticed where the Ring was.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

(have you never read Terry Pratchett Hookbill)

er... no, I haven’t... but I'm told its good, but not as good as Douglas Adams.

Fortunately, in doing so, they noticed where the Ring was.

Unfortunately, Aragorn showed up and distracted the hobbits, leaving the ring to be stolen by bats!

[Kath]

Fortunately bats don't like to fly in the daylight and so nested in Aragorn's hair.

And Hookbill Pratchett is as good if not better than Douglas Adams.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Aragorn's hair hadn't been washed in several weeks and smelled so bad that the bats flew off.

[Parmawen]

Fortunately the bats flew by Gandalf, who angrily put a curse on them which removed their opposable thumbs, thus they dropped the ring...

[Holbytlass]

Unfortunately, in a steamy pile of bat guano!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, Gandalf had some gloved with witch to pick it up.

[Kath]

Unfortunately these witchy gloves had a mind a of their own and after picking up the Ring they slid off Gandalf's hands and ran away.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately they ran right over the volcano and into Mount Doom, thus destroying the ring

[Kath]

Unfortunately, Frodo then woke up and realised that it had all been a dream and the Ring was still there!

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, he was right next to Mount Doom.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, Sauron had formulated a plan for this eventuality… Mount Doom had Wheels!

[Boromir88]

Fortunately the motarized mount doom blew it's engine.

[Kath]

Unfortunately, as it had moved a little before it blew the engine, poor Frodo was now back at the bottom of the mountain.

[Morsul the Dark]

let me try ne here

Fortunatley Frodo Convinced the alien eating dog to carry him back up the mountain

[Kath]

Unfortunately the alien eating dog disappeared as suddenly and mysterious as he had appeared and Frodo fell to the ground and knocked himself unconscious.

[Morsul the Dark]

FortunatelyGandalf who appears randomly *in scene 24 with beautiful acting* is able to revive him

**An homage to monty python holy grail(for those who didnt relize it at first

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, by now, Mount Doom was fixed and fast riding off into the sunset.

[Celuien]

Fortunately, the driver was pulled over for speeding by the Mordor Highway Patrol, giving Frodo time to catch up to the mobile volcano.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, The Mordor Highway Patrol was corrupt and let the Mountain drive on.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Frodo had a super-fast sports car and caught up to it.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, it was not an environmentally friendly car, for it had a huge engine and only went 1 mile to the gallon. So naturally, he stopped pretty soon and Mount Doom rolled off into the distance.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Mount Doom also ran out of gas.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, the lava served as more than enough fuel.

[Kath]

Fortunately the lava was spewing out of the wrong side and so directed the mountain back towards Frodo.

[Parmawen]

Unfortunately Frodo has mountainesphobia which is the fear of Mount Dooms, so he ran in the opposite direction, carrying the ring with him.

[Vinyacoriel]

Fortunately the ring had a will of it's own and wanted to go back to its master so it made Frodo turn around and go to Mount Doom.

[Kath]

Unfortunately this led to a rather amusing tug of war and resulted in the Ring flying out of Frodo's hands and onto the back of a passing troll.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, the Troll was run over by Mount Doom.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately Frodo woke up again and realized that he was still in the cavern with no ring...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, he saw Sam running off with it and knew that Sam was not as fast as he was in a race.

[Kath]

Unfortunately Sam miraculously turned into a tortoise and, as we all know, the tortoise always wins the race, which he promptly did.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the tortoise ran right into a stone wall, knocking itself unconscious.

[wilwarin538]

(whys that fortunate???)

Whatever

Unfortunetaly Tortoises are used to being nocked unconscious so it only lasted afew seconds.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, that was all the time Frodo needed to get the ring.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, Frodo was distracted by a cake shop.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the tortoise was devoured by a gigantic evil duck and dropped the ring.

[wilwarin538]

Unfortunetaly the tortoise wasn't seasened(sp?) to the gigantic evil duck's likings so he spat him out.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the tortoise got stepped on by an Oliphaunt before he could get to the ring.

[Kath]

Unfortunately oliphaunts can't fit in small caverns so it got stuck, trapping the ring and Frodo beneath it.

[Memory of Trees]

Fortunately, Frodo was optomistic, thinking that the ring might be forever entombed by the oliphaunt's behind and never bother anyone again.

[Larien Telemnar]

Unfortunately, Frodo would also be forever entombed.

[Parmawen]

Fortunately, Sam (who had changed out of tortoise shape) had brought along a small-cave-survival kit, which contained Oliphaunt food to lure it out of the cave.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately he read the instructions wrong and put the food over himself, thus making it eat poor poor delicous Sam...

...mmmmm gardener...

[THE Ka]

Fortunately, the Oliphaunt spat him out because he hadn't the stomach for such feet and they all (including the ring...) settled on singing I'll stop The world and Melt with You, in which at that time 'Smithy' (Robert Smith) appeared to lead them through the wonderful song...


~ Cure Ka

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the cave collapsed due to all the vibrations caused by the sound.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, Frodo had escaped and was now chasing after the ring as it rolled down a hill.

[Kath]

Unfortunately the Ring rolled up the next hill and Frodo was too exhausted to follow it.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, it began to role back.

[Kath]

Unfortunately Frodo was passed out on the ground and the Ring rolled right back into his mouth and down his throat.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, he coughed it out and thus woke up.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately Hookbill went into a coma and let other downers post the 'Fortunately' part...

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately M@P, Gandalf and Sam got out of the cavern alive.

[Holbytlass]

Unfortunately, Gandalf and Sam tripped over Hookbill the Goomba's comatose body.


(m@p, ma and pa?)

[Kath]

Fortunately this put them close enough to the ground to be able to see the Ring.

M and P - Merry and Pippin.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, a beetle was running away with it.

[wilwarin538]

Fortunately beetles are very easily crushed, which is what happened, by a giant pink CUCUMBER!

[Parmawen]

Unfortunately the pink cucumber had been left out of the refrigerator for far too long and was beginning to rot poisonous...rottage?...all around the ring.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunatley the animator for the Pink Cucumber had a fatal heart attack and the cartoon peril was no more...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, it was too late for poor Sam.

[Celuien]

Fortunately, the Pink Cucumber's poison was easily counteracted by a sip of miruvor and a pat on the back, restoring Sam to perfect health (but also leaving him a little tipsy...).

[Kath]

Unfortunately in the meantime Gandalf had picked up the Ring and become a dark and terrible wizard.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately thats what they told Sam, it is in fact much, much, much, much worse

[Parmawen]

Fortunately...the term "much, much, much, much worse" was an exaggeration and it was really only "much worse"...which is better than 4 "much"s!

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately that was also an exageration, it was 50 times worser then much much much much much worse

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, Gandalf came and made everything better again with his Wizard powers. ;)

[Vinyacoriel]

Unfortunately, that does not mean that he got rid of Sauron, Mt. Doom, or the Ring

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, Gandalf managed to put them all on the right track.

[Kath]

Unfortunately the right track led over a very large chasm.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, it led over a very large chasm. (There was a bridge)

[Kath]

Unfortunately the brigde broke.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately only the last inch was dangerous.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately we are back in Middle Earth terms, so it was much, much bigger(read the past posts for more info)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, while the bickering over the dangerous part of it was going on, they had got over it and were on the way to Mount Doom!

[Kath]

Unfortunately they had forgotten Frodo's fear of heights and turned to see him still on the bridge, which was now swaying dangerously.

[Nimrodel_9]

Fortunately Gandalf was not afraid of heights and ran back to get him.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately he slipped on a bannana peel

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately Gandalf recovered his balance.

[Kath]

Unfortunately he recovered it halfway down the chasm.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fortunately, Gandalfs have been known to fly with winged speed, and thus rose upon his shadowy wings on a random draft of air to get Frodo.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately he went the wrong way and kept going farther into the chasm

[Vinyacoriel]

Fortunately the winds changed so he could get back to Frodo.

[Kath]

Unfortunately Frodo was long gone as Pippin (who we all know has a good head for heights) had returned to fetch him and they had all continued on their journey.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Fortunately, chasm-dwelling balrogs and the like aren't really such bad chaps as the media makes them out to be; so, after stopping for a consoling cuppa with one of not-a-bad-chap-after-all balrogs, Gandalph, refreshed, set off after Frodo and co.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, Gandalph was an evil impersonator of Gandalf! And he was out to kill them all! *Dramatic music*

[Celuien]

Fortunately, an army of non-evil Elvis impersonators was on its way to battle evil-Gandalph.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, Gandalph was too powerful for them.

[Kath]

Fortunately he was not powerful enough to defeat the evil Elvis impersonators who had secretly followed the non-evil ones and then sang off-key until Gandalph collapsed in a heap.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortuantely Gandalf's good-nature went and helped the Evil Gandalph(Gandalf is deaf :p )

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, Gandalf had some magic 'hear ye again' lotion, which he put on his ears and soon realised that what Gandalph was muttering was pure evil! :eek:

[Amanaduial the archer]

Unfortunately, now that Gandalf could hear his evil twin speaking such dark mutterings against Frodo, the company and hobbit-kind in general (such thoughts that Gandalf would never have dreamt of, except maybe on a very bad morning when certain hobbitses were late for dwarven meetings...but that's another story), and similarly now that evil-Gandalf had encountered such a sickly-sweet-samaritan version of himself, that both Gandalfs were sent into such an identity crisis that immediate therapy was needed, elvis impersonators or no elvis impersonators.

(...and you are all now free to lynch me for the debateable grammar and appaling length of that sentence. Phew.)

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately Gandalf remembered his mission and found the Hobbits in an inn.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately the hobbits got into a fight with a bunch of mimes from New York

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately Gandalf broke up the fight.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Unfortunately, the time-space-reality warp caused by the arrival of the mimes caused the hobbits to be, once more, rather frozen in time, as J.R.R. Tolkien span in his grave with quite enough energy to light up several small cities.

[Kath]

Fortunately this caused the deletion of the mimes and so all was back to normal.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, during the deletion of the mimes, Frodo lost an arm somehow.

[Kath]

Fortunately (for ME if not for Frodo) this was the arm that had the Ring on it so ME was saved!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, the ring put power into the arm and it started crawling away! :eek:

[Celuien]

Fortunately, it was crawling directly toward Mount Doom, which was no longer mobile due to damage to its suspension caused by speeding over potholes.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, it was crawling directly toward Mount Doom in order to fix it.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, the arm beleived that the only way to fix it was to throw the ring into Mt.Doom

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately the arm claimed the Ring as it's own.

[Nimrodel_9]

Fortunately the Ring did not claim the arm and began to roll away.

[Kath]

Unfortunately the Ring rolled down Mount Doom into a forest that had just appeared.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, it was Fangorn and an Ent picked it up.

[Kath]

Unfortunately, due to the Ring's xylophobia (fear of forests) it became so scared that it sprouted little legs and ran away as fast as possible.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately it had no eyes so it ran right into Mt.Doom, and no one did anything cause thats what they wre trying to do was throw the ring into Mount Doom

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, at that moment, the Orcs fixed Mount Doom's engine and it rolled off towards the sunset, leaving the ring near to some Orcs!

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately the Orcs were terrible mechanics so Mt.Doom started swerving out-of-control, ran over all the orcs and stopped right in front of the ring

[Nimrodel_9]

Unfortunately for the Ring, it still did not have eyes and began rolling toward Mount Doom again.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, this was good for the rest of Middle Earth.

[Kath]

Unfortunately the rest of Middle-Earth did not realise this so they destroyed Mount Doom!

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately the Ring rolled into the lava below where Mt. Doom was and thus was the Ring destroyed.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, it was not the real One Ring to Rule Them All, but something that had been pulled out of a Cracker Jack box. So that didn't help.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately thats how Sauron gained his ring, so Power was still destroyed and life continued on...till Frodo found out he had Diabetes and Sam begins his Oliphaunt/Balrog hunt...a BalPhaunt...or an Olirog...the name is still working out

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, one of the Oliphrogs stepped on Sam.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately the Oliphrog was not very heavy because it was filled with burning hydrogen.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately the Oliphrog becan to have a little mishap... :D

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, it was hosed down before it could catch fire and explode.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, A dragon came!

[Kath]

Fortunately it was as confused as everyone else about its sudden and unexplained appearance and quickly flew away again.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, dragons inevitably get really angry and attempt to burn everything in sight to a crisp when they are confused.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately the Dragon was a baby dragon, so only singed the hair

[Kath]

Unfortunately mummy dragon had come looking for baby dragon and she burnt everything to a crisp.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, Frodo, the Hobbits and Gandalf were safe in a little cave.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, it was full of giant hungry vampire bats.

[Larien Telemnar]

Fortunately, there was an earthquake that jarred the bats loose and shook them into the chasm that open below, consuming all of the bats and saving our heros.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortuantely the chasm let loose more Oliphrogs

[Larien Telemnar]

Fortunately, another tremor shut the chasm before they Oliphrogs could get out.

[Kath]

Unfortunately Frodo was halfway into the chasm when it closed and so he was now trapped with his torso in the cave and his legs in the chasm!

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, he activated his personal teleportation device.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately he ended up stuck in traffic...

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the traffic was only made up of ants.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, the ant were being eaten by the giant Spiders from mars!

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately this affected Frodo in know absolute way so he tried to use is Personal Transporter Device again...

[Larien Telemnar]

Unfortunately the battery was dead.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, he hitched a ride on a passing bus.

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately the bus had five pickpockets on it.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Legolas shot them.

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately a police constable arrested Legolas and brought him to a police station.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the police were all Movie Uruk-Hai and were thus nothing but arrow fodder.

[Kath]

Unfortunately Legolas' magical never-ending arrow holder had been stolen by the pickpockets and so he could not defeat the uruk-hai.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately the pickpockets weren't killed.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately they becmae mad with anger and marched down the aisle to cut Legolas hair off

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Gandalf turned them into spotted toads.

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately Ungoliant emerged from the East-Gate of Moria and headed south.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately the Bus was north and was heading North

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, it was headed right into a dragon's lair.

[the guy who be short]

Fortunately, "dragon's lair" is just cockney slang for a bus stop.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, a giant squid got on the bus and thought Frodo looked tasty.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately it had to spit Frodo back out because his parents told him not to eat hobbits off the ground

[Larien Telemnar]

Unfortunately, he spit Frodo out the window.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately he landed on a trampoline.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, it bounced him into a bottomless pit of doom.

[Larien Telemnar]

Fortunately, there was a net over the pit, so Frodo was saved.

[Celuien]

Unfortunately, the net was a spider's web.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Frodo had the Phial of Galadriel.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately you had to insert 25 cents

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, Frodo had several quarters.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately he dropped all of them into the spiders mouth

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, the spider got the 'quarters' stuck in its throat and died.

[Kath]

Unfortunately the FAN's (First Aid Nymph's) arrived and performed the Heimlich Manoeuvre thus causing the quarters to ping out of the spiders throat, break the net, hit Frodo on the head and everything falls down.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, the bottomless pit of doom was inhabited by friendly pterodactyls that gave Frodo a ride back up.

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately Ungoliant scored her first above-ground kill in centuries, a horse and a rider.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, this didn't affect the current situation.

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately the pterodactyl carrying Frodo freaked out everyone so Frodo had to land far from home.

[Kath]

Fortunately this was a good thing as everyone back home was mad at Frodo for having sold Bag End to the Sackville-Bagginses.

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately Ungoliant was continuing her reign of terror in Rohan.

[the guy who be short]

Fortunately, nobody cared about Ungoliant because the main storyline was focusing on Frodo. :p

[Kath]

Unfortunately this was deemed rather insulting to The Elf-Warrior who went on a murderous rampage against TGWBS.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately Gil-Galad didn't do anything as he watched Ungoliant devour TGWBS

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately The Elf-warrior was devoured by Ungoliant too.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately Gil-Galad and Kath didn't do anything...and is that a smirk on Kath's face?

[Kath]

Unfortunately that was a smirk on Kath's face as Ungoliant choked on the Elf-Warrior as so was removed from all future storylines.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately thus was the gravest threat to Middle-Earth since Sauron removed. Huzzah! Oh, and by the way, I can continue posting on this thread. ;)

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, Morgoth somehow escaped from the Void.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately he was also devoured along with TGWBS and Elf_Warrior

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately Frodo caught a cold walking back home.

[Meneltarmacil]

Fortunately, a 15-foot tall talking duck inexplicably cured it.

[The Elf-warrior]

Unfortunately it was sheer coincidence because the duck was a quack.

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately the Duck made Frodo get Aflack insurance

[the guy who be short]

Unfortunately, the duck got ensnared in a time warp, went forward to the 21st Century, and got eaten in a chinese restaurant with delightful plum sauce.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately Frodo got safely home.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, his home was on fire.

[Kath]

Fortunately the S-B's were inside so this was actually a good thing.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the alien-eating dog from Post #552 (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=393608&postcount=552) mysteriously appeared again and bit Frodo's foot.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Fortunately, the yelps of pain that Frodo subsequently emitted due to the AED's sudden change of loyalties brought troops of sleepy hobbits out of their houses - and seeing his house on fire they set about putting out the fire.

[Gil-Galad]

Unfortunately The hobbits didn' have any water so they threw themselves ontop of the fire

[Alcarillo]

Fortunately, casualties were lower than expected.

[the guy who be short]

Unfortunately, Tolkien started spinning in his grave at the absurdities related to Middle-Earth presented in this thread. This caused him to rise from the dead, seeking terrible vengeance against the Frodo in this thread who had so deviated from the path Tolkien wrote for him...

FEAR THE ZOMKIEN

[Gil-Galad]

Fortunately, Gil-Galad did what TGWBS did to other downers, and disregarded his post by saying that the fire was finnally out but now a giant snake is threatening the hobbits


"Do unto other what you would have done unto you"

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the giant snake ate Frodo.

[Kath]

Fortunately the snake had swallowed Frodo whole and as he was wearing Sting he was able to cut the snake open from the inside and get out.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, as soon as he escaped, the alien-eating dog started attacking him.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, the Dog spontaneously combusted.

[Orominuialwen]

Unfortunately, this angered the snake, who was still alive, although a bit worse for the wear.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately Frodo remembered his home in Crickhollow and hitched a ride on a pony-cart driven by Merry.

[the guy who be short]

Unfortunately, the cart turned into a small curry halfway to Crickhollow.

[Amanaduial the archer]

*sigh* From one type of heat to another...

Fortunately, although Frodo himself was not a particular fan of curry (he was himself of a rather mild constitution), one of the nearby home-owners was a particularly avid curry-eater, and offered him his own cart and pony in return for this peculiar, piquant prize.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the Cows of Doom showed up.

[the guy who be short]

Fortunately, Frodo now had two ponies to combat the Cows of Doom. After a short battle, all the Cows were dead and the Ponies had grown to level 28 and learnt the new "Scratch Attack."

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, the ponies refused to obey Frodo any longer and attacked him.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Fortunately, Gimli showed up and killed the Pony and then ate it.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, pony meat is highly poisonous to Dwarves.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately that is only an urban legend.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, it is one of the few urban legends that are actually true.

[the guy who be short]

fortunately, Gimli got the antivenom in time and hopped off cheerily, singing a song above The Glittering Caves.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Unfortunately, he fell into one of them.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately he wasn't killed.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, he landed right on top of a large sleeping dragon, who was really angry about being woken up and attempted to burn Gimli to a crisp.

[The Elf-warrior]

Fortunately Gimli had his axe handy and killed the dragon.

[Meneltarmacil]

Unfortunately, his axe (which was an Acme Axe that he had gotten from Wile E. Coyote) broke before he could hit the dragon with it.
