Fortunately/Unfortunately - Page 84 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rune Son of Bjarne · 03-08-2006, 02:52 PM

Unfortunately, (for Belladonna) She turned in to a non winged dragon and hit the ground as a bowl of petunias. (that means she died and got scatterd all over the place)

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-08-2006, 02:52 PM

Unfortunately, the arrow did strike the Norwegian Blue Parrot.

Meneltarmacil · 03-09-2006, 06:19 PM

Fortunately, the parrot had been evil.

Gil-Galad · 03-09-2006, 06:46 PM

Unfortunately the parrot was just sleeping

Farael · 03-09-2006, 06:47 PM

Oops, just realized I cross-posted with Gil... let's change that and do a double-Fortunately/Unfortunately

Fortunately the parrot was actually the re-incarnation of Saruman who had just recently decided to abandon his evil ways

Unfortunately, many people now think that the sequence of Fortunately/Unfortunately should have included a comment on what Belladona/Dragon/Bowl of Petunia's was thinking before it crashed. It is believed that we would know a lot more about the universe if whe had.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-10-2006, 12:37 AM

Fortunately, they weren't thinking about much, and Saruman made everyone bacon and eggs*!

*By this, I don’t mean that he made them into bacon and eggs. He made bacon and eggs for them.

Glirdan · 03-10-2006, 08:27 AM

Unfortunately, someone took the cookie from the cookie jar.

Telperaca · 03-10-2006, 08:54 AM

Fortunately, there was a spare cookie jar.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-10-2006, 08:58 AM

Unfortunately, the jar was full of Dragons!

Although, no one quite knows why... or how.

Telperaca · 03-10-2006, 09:05 AM

Fortunately, the dragons were under a sleeping spell for enternity.

Eonwe · 03-10-2006, 09:16 AM

Unfortunatley, they all slept-walked. And they firebombed everything in sight.

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-10-2006, 09:31 AM

Fortunately some super intelligent mice had commissioned
Slartibartfast to make a long-lasting study which included
Middle-earth to discover just what Belladona/Dragon/Bowl of Petunia's was thinking before it crashed since they believed that we would know a lot more about the universe if they did.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 03-10-2006, 11:18 AM

Unfortunatley, because Tuor in Gondolin included "Belladona/Dragon/Bowl of Petunia's " in his post, I cannot declare war upon him as I wished to!

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-10-2006, 12:11 PM

Fortunately, a Mountain on wheels crashed through the house and the sleepwalking Dragons were crushed.

Naria · 03-11-2006, 11:32 AM

Unfortunately one of the dragons were able to escape before Mt. Zoom hit the house and breathed fire on all of the wheels, melting them.

Nogrod · 03-11-2006, 11:56 AM

Fortunately they looked much better in a melted state.

Glirdan · 03-11-2006, 12:00 PM

Unfortunately, Minas Tirith and Isengard were jealous of Mount Zoom's cool looking wheels and the chased Mount Zoom around Arda.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-11-2006, 12:11 PM

Fortunately, nothing on wheels can catch Mount Zoom!

Gil-Galad · 03-11-2006, 01:15 PM

Except perhaps Mt. Zoom's clone from the North Pole... Mt. Zoom^2

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-11-2006, 01:52 PM

Fortunately, Mount Zoom^2 was in Aman doing advertisements for sports drinks.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-13-2006, 09:45 AM

Unfortunately Mount Zoom's clone from the
South Pole, Mount Zoom^3, was even
faster.

JennyHallu · 03-13-2006, 09:48 AM

Fortunately, Mount Zoom^3 wasn't really interested in catching Mount Zoom to begin with, just fascinating with penguin chasing.

(And if it's a clone, can it be any faster?)

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-13-2006, 10:07 AM

Unfortunately, upon hearing of all these other pretenders to its throne, Sauron turned Mount Zoom around and sent forth legions of Orcs and Trolls and Dragons which destroyed Mount Zoom^2 and ^3. And he did laugh heartily.

JennyHallu · 03-13-2006, 10:09 AM

Fortunately, the penguins felt better about the whole thing, and held a celebratory parade in Minas Tirith before traveling north of the Shire, where they planned to start a new colony.

Gil-Galad · 03-13-2006, 05:25 PM

Unfortunately, Penguins are natures party-animals and they ended up making a colony in Deep Harad where the Oliphaunt roam.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-14-2006, 12:29 AM

Fortunately, due to a new peace treat, the Dragons and Penguins had become allies and they fought off the Oliphants. The Pen-gon alliance then sets off for the rest of Middle Earth!

Farael · 03-14-2006, 12:36 AM

Unfortunately, after the Oliphaunts were defeated, the Pen-gon alliance set it's aims on the rest of the free peoples of middle earth.... furthermore, some evil creatures tagged along.... and thus, the Pen-Tag-Gon alliance was formed.... or to simplify it, the Pentagon.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-14-2006, 07:06 AM

Fortunately the Pentagon alliance was stymied by the
dolphins before they left Middle-earth out of gratitude
for the gifts to them by the great Numenorean ancestors of the
Gondorians. The exact words of the dolphins being:

Quote:

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-15-2006, 03:42 AM

. . . some guy living Outside the Asylum (Elrond, actually) called for a Council of the Dolphin-hunt.

(I know that's not what happens in the book, but hey! sue me.

)

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-15-2006, 07:21 AM

Fortunately the Watcher formed an alliance
with his fellow water creature dolphins against
Elrond and the Pentagon.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-15-2006, 07:31 AM

. . . Boromir comes rushin' at the Watcher, holding his knife and fork, chanting 'SQUIIIIIIIIIIIIID!'

He ate the Watcher in the Water. *burp* Calamari is très nice.

WAVE KINGS AT BOROMIR THE DISCO SQUID! You are not forgotten.

Telperaca · 03-15-2006, 07:38 AM

Unfortunately, the squid was poisoned and so Boromir was facing a slow death...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-15-2006, 07:46 AM

. . . the two Unfortunately's cancelled each other and returned the thread to its primordial state.

[From the first post: ]Gimli finally found something to eat

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-15-2006, 08:40 AM

Unfortunately (depending on your point of view)
it was a blond movie elf. It turns out elves can
drown in the ocean. That wouldn't be
cannabalism, would it? Or would it?

Of course, rather like the inciddent involving Bilbo's
mother, the question remains did he slip or was
he pushed.

Telperaca · 03-15-2006, 09:13 AM

Fortunately for the elf, he could doggie paddle.

JennyHallu · 03-15-2006, 09:31 AM

Unfortunately, he got lost.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-15-2006, 12:09 PM

Fortunately for the blond elf, some fangirls
prevailed upon Ulmo to help save him.

JennyHallu · 03-15-2006, 12:14 PM

Unfortunately, Ulmo merely saw to it that he didn't have to dog-paddle anymore, and gave him a magic ring that kept him afloat.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-15-2006, 12:21 PM

Fortunately, the magic ring let him catch up to Gimli,
who he unceremoniously tossed into the sea.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-15-2006, 12:43 PM

Unfortunately, Gimli's beard soaked up all the water.
