Hookbill the Goomba · 10-15-2006, 06:52 AM

Fortunately, he was made of slime and so could slip through the bars and under doors and go to freedom!

Rikae · 10-15-2006, 06:59 AM

Fortunately (for everybody else) Alien had no digestive juices (no nervous system, either!) and so they rebuilt Middle Earth inside his stomach and continued as before, except that the sky was red, and wherever anybody said something like "the red dawn" or "a red sun rises" everyone would burst into maniacal laughter.

Gil-Galad · 10-15-2006, 02:38 PM

Unfortunately, nobody realized that this thread has reached 100 posts and will soon be up for deletion as it begins to glow red to quell the rising population of the Downs

sounds like a movie...

Meneltarmacil · 10-15-2006, 02:49 PM

Fortunately, Gil-Galad's announcement of impending doom was cut off by Bob the Troll's club coming down on his head.

Rikae · 10-15-2006, 03:42 PM

Unfortunately, not before Rikae thought the better of ignoring Gil's hints and slunk off, never to return.

High King Fingolfin · 10-15-2006, 05:59 PM

Fortunately, this caused Bob the Troll to commit suicide, ending yet another running gag.

Meneltarmacil · 10-15-2006, 08:13 PM

Unfortunately, Bob the Troll had attempted to commit suicide by bonking himself on the head with his club, and needless to say, this was not a particularly vital area for a dim-witted troll.

doom_hammer · 10-16-2006, 01:15 AM

fortunately, a shotgun spead things up.

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-16-2006, 01:22 AM

Unfortunately, the shotgun was clogged up with glue.

Valesse · 10-16-2006, 09:51 AM

Fortunately there wasn't enough glue to keep the bullet from firing.

Tuor in Gondolin · 10-16-2006, 11:09 AM

Unfortunately the bullet proved to be defective
(one of Saruman's less successful experiments
with "upgrading" Middle-earth technology).

Rikae · 10-16-2006, 11:22 AM

Fortunately, its defect was such that it caused a massive explosion, blowing Bob, the dog, the alien and everything else in a 15 mile radius into confetti.

Meneltarmacil · 10-16-2006, 12:52 PM

Unfortunately, it also blew a huge hole in the time-space continuum.

High King Fingolfin · 10-16-2006, 09:28 PM

Fortunately this was all right, because the other end of the hole was in the Cracks of Doom, and all the running gags got sucked in.

doom_hammer · 10-16-2006, 09:46 PM

Unfortunately the gags still somehow got away

Meneltarmacil · 10-18-2006, 08:52 AM

Fortunately, the Flat Morgo-Yak ate them all.

EDIT: Woohoo! This is my 1500th post!

High King Fingolfin · 10-19-2006, 10:10 PM

Unfortunately, the Flat Morgo-Yak proceeded to take over the world.

Tuor in Gondolin · 10-20-2006, 09:21 AM

Fortunately, the world staged a coup and sent
the Flat Morgo-Yak to live with Gollum under the
Misty Mountains.

ninja91 · 10-20-2006, 10:22 AM

Unfortunately, the two got into a drunken brawl after an hour of reminiscing.

Rikae · 10-20-2006, 10:42 AM

Fortunately, Gollum was as good at fighting two-dimensional foes as invisible ones, and he bit off the flat Morgo-yak's hoof.

High King Fingolfin · 10-21-2006, 07:00 PM

Unfortunately, he began to bleed all over the place.

Tuor in Gondolin · 10-23-2006, 11:13 AM

Fortunately for Gollum, he was thirsty and
had a vera refreshing drink.

Gil-Galad · 10-23-2006, 10:22 PM

Unfortunately, the Morgo-Yak had AIDS and Gollum soon died in a wheelchair

elronds_daughter · 10-24-2006, 04:58 AM

Fortunately, Gollum discovered the cure for AIDS before he died.

Gil-Galad · 10-24-2006, 07:20 AM

Unfortunately, Gollum still died

Meneltarmacil · 10-24-2006, 07:50 AM

Fortunately, this particular storyline was getting too questionable to be left intact and was cancelled, leaving poor Gimli still trying to find something to eat.

Tuor in Gondolin · 10-24-2006, 08:11 AM

Unfortunately, Gimli was bitten by a descendant
of one of Sauron's Beleriand pet bats and
developed a taste for orc blood.

Meneltarmacil · 10-24-2006, 01:28 PM

Fortunately, an Oliphaunt trampled Gimli and squished him before he could hurt anyone.

High King Fingolfin · 10-24-2006, 03:19 PM

Unfortunately, Gimli was now quite dead. (And flat as well.)

elronds_daughter · 10-24-2006, 07:01 PM

Fortunately, Flat Gimli had the Flat Morgo-yak for company.

Gil-Galad · 10-24-2006, 08:38 PM

Unfortunately they were Mortal enemies

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-25-2006, 02:38 AM

Fortunately, they suddenly became immortal for no reason, and so they put all their differences aside.

Gil-Galad · 10-25-2006, 08:25 AM

Unfortunately, they became Immortal enemies seeing how they were no longer mortal enemies.

Meneltarmacil · 10-25-2006, 07:08 PM

Fortunately, they were too preoccupied with destroying each other that they didn't harm Frodo on his way to Mount Doom.

High King Fingolfin · 10-26-2006, 10:32 AM

Unfortunately, they somehow managed to flatten Aragorn as well.

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-26-2006, 10:42 AM

Fortunately, the shock wave created by the flattening of Aragorn sent Frodo right next to Mount Doom!

Meneltarmacil · 10-26-2006, 11:02 AM

Unfortunately, it knocked him into Mount Doom.

Tuor in Gondolin · 10-26-2006, 11:19 AM

Fortunately, it was a two-dimensional Flat World
so three-dimensional Frodo walked right over it.

Meneltarmacil · 10-26-2006, 01:15 PM

Unfortunately, Tolkien's pen ran out of ink and he couldn't write the story anymore.

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-26-2006, 01:22 PM

The official 4000th post on this thread. that makes 2000 fortunate things! Hurrah!

Fortunately, he had a pencil to hand.
