Fortunately, Sauron took out his wrath on the Witch-king.

Unfortunately, the WiKi took out his wrath on the Shire, by destroying its entire supply of Longbottom Leaf!

Fortunately, before that the Witch-King killed Sauron with his own knife in Saving Private Ryan fashion. The Shire was still drugless and the people were starving, but Manwe was happy.

Unfortunately, Manwe's favourite Socialist Bear, Hugalot, ran way. Making Manwe unhappy

Fortunately, Johnny the Stinky Balrog came by to cheer him up.

Unfortunately, Manwë considered Johnny's presence anathema, and they waged a titanic battle.

Fortunately, Johnny won of course

Unfortunately, Johnny died a day later due to the snuffles

Fortunately, everyone thats been on this thread for a while remembers that Johnny is invinceble and can never die, only go away then appear back again.

Unfortunately, Johnny ate Frodo.

Fortunately, the alien-eating dog ate Johnny first.

Unfortunately the alien-eating dog got indigestion

Fortunately, this also gave Johnny indigestion. Thus, the overall result is that the alien-eating dog threw up Johnny, and Johnny threw up Frodo. :eek:

Unfortunately, Johnny stole the Ring.

Fortunately, Gandalf stabbed him and gave the ring back to Frodo.

Unfortunately, since Gandalf killed to obtain the ring, he turned into a Gollumlike creature.

Fortunately, he was still cloaked.

Unfortunately the "Gandalf cloaking" jokes were banned already and the earlier point was not considered valid, leaving Gandalf openly a Gollum-like creature.

Fortunately, there was still hope that the numerous repeated jokes could stop and keep this thread from being more milked than Final Fantasy 7. Granted, FF7 was in itself a milking, but the jokes were nearly on it's level. At the very least they hadn't ruined their potential utterly like Halo.

Unfortunately, Eru banned all video games

Fortunately, Legolas convinced him to allow video games again, so hordes of fans could still break the canon in Lord of The Rings: The Third Age. (Nice game, but you can feel the Professor turning over in his grave over the mithril weapons.)

Unfortunately, the professor was so annoyed that he got up and burned all copies of the game.

Fortunately someone had made a backup copy, that the Proffesor didn't know about. So more were made and everyone was happy and they even added three new Mithril weapons!! :eek: :p

Unfortunately, these new mithril weapons destroyed the games themselves and nobody tought to make backups of backups.

Fortunately, a new game that was exactly like the old one came out.

Unfortunately, an EMP attack destroyed a third of the world's computers.

Fortunately, this stopped all Third Age games, causing people to move on to the Rise of the Witch-King and the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Unfortunately, this meant that all the people from middle Earth needed the Internet and they soon discovered The Downs and were outraged by the Fortunately / Unfortunately thread. Gandalf was more outraged about the Crazy Captions thread where people had somehow found out about his... *cough* ... habits.

Fortunately it was christmas and all saw the light.

Unfortunately Morgoth was Santa (ironic anagram - Satan) in disguise and ruined the soon to come Christmas.

Fortunately, Gandalf used his... *cough* ... 'habit' to stop Morgoth.

Unfortunately, Morgoth had seen worse things and was unaffected.

Fortunately, Sauron hadn't seen anything worse and was affected, killing him instantly, and preventing the War of the Ring from ever happening.

Unfortunately, it didn't prevent the War of the Ringtones.

Fortunately, the "Final Fantasy 3 opera song" ringtone, wielded by the Flat Morgoyak, won the war, incorporated every loose end, fitted Gandalf with a cloaking device and allowed Christmas to continue as scheduled.

Unfortunately, Bob the Troll came and smashed the cell phone.

Fortunately, Gandalf with his 'magic' fixed the phone and the War of the Ringtones continued as planned...

Unfortunately, it was planned in space, where no one can hear you use your ringtones...

Fortunately, everyone was wearing spacesuits.

Unfortunately they all forgot their oxygen tanks
