Fortunately, with help from his old war buddies, the good professor stopped this prophecy.

Tuor in Gondolin · 04-18-2006, 08:54 AM

Unfortunately, J. K. Rowling turned out to be
a pseudonym for C. S. Lewis and it was revealed
by his adopted sons that all the Harry Potter books
had been written by him with instructions to his
heirs not to have them published, out of respect
for Tollers, until 20 years after they had both died.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-18-2006, 11:24 AM

Fortunately, that was all complete nonsense.

The 1,000 Reader · 04-18-2006, 10:19 PM

Unfortunately, that nonsense was too confusing so Middle-Earth exploded once again with great effects in the shape of a weta.

Tuor of Gondolin · 04-19-2006, 12:25 PM

Fortunately, Middle-earth came together again,
but with Morgoth's and the Feanoreans roles
reversed! Would the brave (but hasty) Morgoth
and his loyal ally Sauron be able to protect Beleriand
from the evil Feanoreans ensconced in Thangorodrim?

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-19-2006, 12:28 PM

Unfortunately, they couldn't.

Eonwe · 04-19-2006, 01:47 PM

Fortunately, DragonForce could!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 04-19-2006, 01:56 PM

Unfortunately, at some point a swindler named Elrond turned up and swindled them all

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-19-2006, 02:02 PM

Fortunately, he gave all the money to charity!

Gil-Galad · 04-19-2006, 03:59 PM

Unfortunately that charity was title "Bad guys annoymus and Quilting Club"

Tuor of Gondolin · 04-20-2006, 05:41 AM

Fortunately, "Bad guys annoymus and Quilting Club" was
a front for the "Gondorian Retirement Home for medical staff
who do run on a bit about esoteric lore."

Glirdan · 05-13-2006, 08:40 AM

Unfortunately, that was also a front for Sauron's new TV show, "Evil Eye for the Evil Guy": a new homemakeover show.

Parmawen · 05-15-2006, 03:43 PM

Fortunately TLC cancelled "Evil Eye for the Evil Guy" so they could show rerun episodes of "Middle-Earth's Next Top Elf" and Sauron was left without a job.

The 1,000 Reader · 05-15-2006, 06:13 PM

Unfortunately, he got a show on Fox, thus resulting in poor television.

Eonwe · 05-15-2006, 06:45 PM

Foruntelym Forutunately/Unfortunately rocketed to the top of the charts, were it belonged!

And Tulkas was in there somewhere at the party too!

Glirdan · 05-15-2006, 07:46 PM

Unfortunately, Tulkas got so drunk that he ended up falling off a cliff.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-15-2006, 11:32 PM

Fortunately, he fell off Cliff Richard. No one knows why he was climbing on top of him anyway.

05-16-2006, 05:18 AM

Unfortunately, Cliff Richard was standing over a fiery abyss, and when Tulkas fell off Cliff, he fell into said abyss.

Eonwe · 05-16-2006, 03:15 PM

Didn't matter. He's Tulkas.

The 1,000 Reader · 05-16-2006, 09:10 PM

Unfortunately, being an aniur doesn't make you invincible, so Tulkas was horribly burned, though through determination and will power he climbed out alive.

Eonwe · 05-16-2006, 09:14 PM

Fortunately, his heroic efforts inspired everyone to do their best in keeping this thread revived!

And as a side benefit, Melkor desided to be good, after seeing Tulkas' heroic deads.

The 1,000 Reader · 05-16-2006, 09:17 PM

Unfortunately, Morgoth messed up terribly and caused the first world war of Middle-Earth.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-16-2006, 11:37 PM

Fortunately, the war was between two ants.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-17-2006, 05:50 AM

Unfortunately the ants were survivors of the
classic '50s movie THEM! and they caused
so much havoc Tulkas was sent to remove them
before his plastic surgery was completed at VGH
(Valinor General Hospital).

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-17-2006, 05:53 AM

Fortunately, no one noticed any difference in Tulkas. The plastic surgeon was a dotard who operated on the wrong person, he merely gave Tulkas wider eyebrows.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-17-2006, 06:01 AM

Unfortunately for the giant ants, Tulkas's
new eyebrows proved effective in
squishing the ants between them.

Meneltarmacil · 05-22-2006, 03:26 PM

Fortunately, this saved Middle-Earth.

Nogrod · 05-22-2006, 03:49 PM

Unfortunately it didn't save its inhabitants...

Glirdan · 05-22-2006, 08:14 PM

Fortunately, the inhabitants were whisked away to Numenor...again...

The 1,000 Reader · 05-22-2006, 10:24 PM

Unfortunately, Numenor was deep underwater, and nobody had gills.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-23-2006, 05:57 AM

Fortunately, just as the inhabitants couldn't
hold their breaths any longer Tulkas came
along and relifted the island up using his
massive eyebrows.

Meneltarmacil · 05-23-2006, 12:50 PM

Unfortunately, Tulkas's head exploded.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-23-2006, 12:58 PM

Fortunately Tulkas's eyebrow mites, with the
help of Ned and the nanites (see MST 3000)
http://popculture.incompetech.com/robots/nanites.html
were able to protect and restore Tulkas.

The 1,000 Reader · 05-23-2006, 06:44 PM

Unfortunately, at that time, Numenor had already fallen back into the ocean.

Meneltarmacil · 05-23-2006, 07:39 PM

Fortunately, its inhabitants had evacuated by that time.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-24-2006, 09:08 AM

And unfortunately for those seeking the
annihilation of the remnants of Numenoreans,
some of the hobbrim (see the learned thread
"Of the Origins of Hobbits", by Celuien) helped
the inhabitants to the shores of southern Gondor
(a disputed land

).

Gil-Galad · 05-24-2006, 05:04 PM

Fortunately the Hobbrim did not know where South Gondor was (disputed land)

and thus they ended up in a nice peaceful place that was nowhere near South Gondor (Disputed Land)

Boromir88 · 05-24-2006, 07:47 PM

Unfortunately the Hobbrim got tired of peace and they broke out in riots and moshpits.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-25-2006, 01:26 AM

Fortunately, lunchtime came around and they all forgot their differences.

Tuor in Gondolin · 05-26-2006, 08:24 AM

Unfortunately for some reason the hobbrim were
addicted to eating raw fish, which they couldn't
find in at their buffet lunch, so they decided to
look under some tall mountains they saw in the far
distance for nice fresh fishies.
