Fortunately, there was a sushi bar at the foot of the mountain, fulfillling all their raw fish needs.

Tuor in Gondolin · 05-26-2006, 02:23 PM

Unfortunately there was a shortage of raw
fish at the bar because the goblin traders were, for some
unknown reason, afraid to go to the best
source of them---an underground lake deep
under the mountains.

The 1,000 Reader · 05-27-2006, 02:03 PM

Fortunately, a hobbit strike team went in to get the fish.

Boromir88 · 05-27-2006, 03:20 PM

Unfortunately the Hobbit Strike team took their name literally and went ON strike.

Glirdan · 05-27-2006, 09:45 PM

Fortunately, (this really should be unfortunately) this kept half the Shire's popluation busy which gave Arwen the chance to knock out Glorfindel, hide him in a bush and steal his horse.

Valesse · 05-27-2006, 10:24 PM

Unfortunately, as Glorfindel was a much better rider than Arwen, when she retrieved a particular hobbit suffering from a severe case of squawking-and-walking there were many rough, unplanned landings on his part.

The 1,000 Reader · 05-28-2006, 12:44 PM

Fortunately, he didn't die.

Boromir88 · 05-28-2006, 03:20 PM

Unfortunately he suffered from whiplash that was beyond Elrond's healing.

The 1,000 Reader · 05-28-2006, 04:55 PM

Fortunately, there was a way.

Gil-Galad · 05-28-2006, 05:07 PM

Fortuantely it wasn't beyond Johnny the Stinky Balrog's

Unfortunately, Johnny was being chased by all the soap and cleaning companies what wanted to use him for their experiments.

Glirdan · 05-29-2006, 05:37 AM

Fortunately, his stink knocked them out cold.

Boromir88 · 05-29-2006, 07:03 AM

Unfortunately they soon caught on and wore anti-stink repellant bubblewrap suits.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-30-2006, 05:48 AM

And fortunately XenaArwen tossed Johhny in
the Bruinen because he was, like, you know,
really gross, where Johnny was saved by some
guys wearing black clothes and made an
honorary nazgul.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-30-2006, 06:05 AM

Unfortunately, Johnny then went on a killing spree.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-30-2006, 06:29 AM

Fortunately, since Johnny was only an honorary
nazgul, he could only participate in hononary killings,
so Middle-earth people and creatures were safe.

The 1,000 Reader · 05-30-2006, 11:50 PM

Unfortunately, the people of Middle-Earth were worried and sent a hitman, Gandalf. Despite his response of "What? No!" he was sent to kill Johnny regardless.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-31-2006, 05:34 AM

Fortunately for Johnny, Gandalf was more interested
in pesuading a certain bandleader/wizard to let his star
singer (a Rivendell elf who was Gandalf's godson,
a very important, religious relationship for the istari) out of his
contract so he could be in a war movie, so Gandalf
rode his horse to the bandleader's office in Orthanc.

(This also explains the animosity of horselover Saruman
to Gandalf the Grey).

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-10-2006, 10:07 AM

Unfortunately, everybody forgot all that had happend the last 3 months, as they realised that Rune had returned to BD!

Farael · 06-10-2006, 10:08 AM

Fortunately the fellowship passed by and tossed Rune a welcome party!!

Welcome Rune =D

Glirdan · 06-10-2006, 10:10 AM

Unfortunately, Rune got a little tipsy from having one to many drinks.

Nice to have you back my friend!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-15-2006, 04:23 PM

Fortunately, Rune got no near as drunk as Gandalf who ended up challenging the hobbits to a game of Limbo !

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-16-2006, 02:53 AM

Unfortunately, they used Gandalf's staff as the Limbo poll and everyone who tried it got turned into something... unnatural.

Farael · 06-16-2006, 10:42 AM

Fortunately they were mostly turned into either fluffy, cute, cuddly little puppies or sweet, funny and also cuddly little penguins

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-16-2006, 11:23 AM

Unfortunately, cuddly little penguins despise anything else fluffy, cute, cuddly, sweet and funny and started slaughtering the other unnatural beeings.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-16-2006, 11:38 AM

Fortunately, they had no means of killing each other and could only manage head butting at best.

Glirdan · 06-16-2006, 02:41 PM

Unfortunately, that headbutting was rather painful...especially since one of the things they headbutted against was a Balrog.

The 1,000 Reader · 06-16-2006, 04:18 PM

Fortunately, well, sort of, they hurt their heads headbutting the balrog and were set on fire.

Parmawen · 06-18-2006, 09:42 PM

Unfortunately, since the Balrog was made of fire, it took no heed and continued mercilessly headbutting the penguins and puppies, whose fur burned off.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-19-2006, 03:16 AM

Fortunately, Penguins don't have fur, they have feathers.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-19-2006, 04:47 AM

Unfortunately, they have very furry feathers.

The 1,000 Reader · 06-21-2006, 10:31 PM

Fortunately, they jumped into the ocean.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-22-2006, 03:09 AM

Unfortunately, so did the Watcher in the Water!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-22-2006, 04:18 AM

Fortunately, The Watcher in the Water jumped for such a great distance that the impact killed it.

Brinniel · 06-22-2006, 02:26 PM

Unfortunately, there were some very hungry Corsairs sailing the ocean.

Gil-Galad · 06-22-2006, 03:39 PM

Fortunately a bunch of Seagulls beat the penguins and ths the Corsairs hunger was satisfied.

Brinniel · 06-22-2006, 08:04 PM

Unfortunately, since all the penguins' furry feathers had been burned off, they began to grow very cold in that ocean water.

The 1,000 Reader · 06-23-2006, 11:16 PM

Fortunately, they jumped out.

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-24-2006, 08:42 AM

Unfortunately they jumped into the maw of
The Watcher's avenging girlfriend.

Glirdan · 06-24-2006, 08:48 AM

Fortunately, the girlfriend wasn't evil. She was a loving, caring gardener.
