Fortunately, Bombadil was just Merry's nickname, annd then the real Tom Bombadil came to sort everyone out.

Unfortunately, the real Tom Bombadil's
nickname was Merry, so everyone got
even more confused. :eek:

Fortunately, THE DRAGON CAME and ate Tom Bombadil, resolving the confusion.

Unfortantely Tom Bombadil sang his way out (as you do) and magaged to turn the dragon into a very harmless chicken, which everyone (except Tom Bombadil, who is supposedly vegetarian) ate.

Fortunately, the fact Merry/Bombadil ate the chicken and Tom Bombadil/Merry did not resolved the issue again.

Unfotunately, a hole in the space-time continuum appeared and trapped everyone in the Void!

Fortunately, the Void was in the attic of the
Green Dragon so everyone went downstairs
and had PINTS!! of beer while Merry/Bombadil
and Bombadil/Merry led them as they
danced and sang on a table.

Unfortunately, it was non-alcolholic beer.

Fortunately, there was lots of alcoholic wine.

Unfortunately, the wine didn't taste very good at all.

Fortunately, this caused Barliman to invent
the wine spritzer. (Well, it beats watching
Merry try to match Hillary Clinton boilermaker
for boilermaker). :D

Unfortunately, they realised that they actually were on a desert island, and had to burn it all when a nearby ship passed.

Fortunately, the island turned out to be Tol Eressëa,
candidate for a second round match in Arda Cup Soccer 2008.

Unfortunately, the Angband team was the one who ended up there.

Fortunately, Tol Eressea was just a new-fangled nickname for Davy Jones' Locker which happened to suddenly enter Tolkien's legendarium.

Unfortunately, Davy Jones' Locker turned out
to be a locker in the training room of Team
Valimar training for Arda Cup Soccer 2008.

Fortunately, nobody cared.

Unfortunately, nobody caring was the sign that Dagor Dagorath is upon us.

Unfortunately, though it may be upon us, it wasn't upon them.

Unfortunately, Morgoth decided to hit Eönwë with Grond. :p

Fortunately, Eönwë wasn't there to get it...

Unfortunately, instead of writing, Morgoth decided destroying the Shire is a more profitable pastime.

(Think of the Hobbits!)

Fortunately, the hobbits know he was coming so they asked the Valar if they'd help in getting Morgoth out of the Shire.

Unfortunately, the Valar, too, decided that destroying the Shire is fun.

Fortunately, in came the Illuvatar! And the Shire was saved from all destruction.

Unfortunately, as soon as Illuvatar left, all the Valar (except Ulmo, of course) attacked the shire again.

Fortunately, all inhabitants of the Shire fled to the Barrow-Downs, Old Forest, and Tom Bobadil's house... Tom Bombadil's house turned into a hotel essencially.

Unfortunately, Tom Bombadil went deaf, so when the EVIL Valar came, he couldn't help them as they sang for him to come.

Fortunately, Eru made Gaffer Gamgee one of the Valar in the top position!

Unfortunately, he got corrupted (By wanting to make a new species of Potatoes, which Eru didn't allow him to- even theough they were the size of small cats and repelled all bugs!) and the only faithful Vala left was Ulmo, and he was in hiding.

Fortunately, Gaffer Gamgee died of potato poisoning and Ulmo discovered the cure for gangrene.

Unfortunately, Samwise didn't like that, so he went on a rampage while in Valinor, so many beings were hurt and killed...

Fortunately for Valinor, Samwise mistook the hill of Túna for a fish, so he tried to eat it and died before he did much damage.

Unfortunately, for Valinor Galadriel came! And she saved Sam and The Gaffer but decided to trash Valinor and turned into a queen, beautiful and powerful, so she ruled Middle-earth...

Unfortunately, she was as beautiful as Luthien, so she died.

Fortunately, Celeborn came to the rescue and Valinor was saved!

Unfortunately, Cirdan hadn't made the ship and on the way back, it sank.

Fortunately, nobody important was on the ship, so it didn't matter.

Unfortunately, the ship did carry someone who was going to be important, so a few years later Middle-Earth was covered by a swarm of giant, man-eating locusts from Khand, the sncestors of whom the important-person-to-be (otherwise known as Bob) would have killed.

Fortunately, said savior of Middle-earth was raised out of the sea by Ulmo and was saved.
