Unfortunately, they drove back in the way just in time to get fried.

Boromir88 · 03-02-2007, 04:28 PM

Fortunately that was only a decoy Minas Tirith...the real Minas Tirith was on in Edoras by this time.

Meneltarmacil · 03-02-2007, 06:41 PM

Unfortunately, it got into a head-on collision with Mount Zoom.

Gil-Galad · 03-02-2007, 07:34 PM

Fortunately it was in the middle of the Brown Lands

Meneltarmacil · 03-02-2007, 07:39 PM

Unfortunately, that was precisely what caused the death of all the Entwives.

Gil-Galad · 03-02-2007, 07:43 PM

Fortunately, the mystery was now solved so nobody has to talk about where the entwives went anymore, good job menel!

The 1,000 Reader · 03-02-2007, 08:26 PM

Unfortunately, the ents were enraged so much that they waged war on all races.

And won.

The Might · 03-03-2007, 10:03 AM

Fortunately, Middle-earth was much cleaner with the Ents as bosses over everything

Meneltarmacil · 03-03-2007, 10:15 AM

Unfortunately, the evil logging industry showed up.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-03-2007, 12:28 PM

Fortunately, the logging industry went into liquidation... literally.

Meneltarmacil · 03-03-2007, 03:38 PM

Unfortunately, Bob the Troll drank the liquified logging industry and learned how to use a chainsaw... which, being a troll, he decided to use cheap horror movie-style on everyone.

Gil-Galad · 03-03-2007, 05:49 PM

Fortunately, nobody watches horror-movies in Middle Earth so Bob the Troll was quickly forgotten

Meneltarmacil · 03-03-2007, 07:46 PM

Unfortunately, he started chainsawing (new word!) Lothlorien and its inhabitants.

Boromir88 · 03-04-2007, 09:36 AM

Fortunately the chainsaw could not cut through the Mallorn trees.

Gil-Galad · 03-04-2007, 11:50 AM

Unfortunately a Super-Duper Chainsaw could and it did... oh yes it did...

The Might · 03-04-2007, 12:08 PM

Fortunately Galadriel magically summoned a wall of mithril through which the new chainsaw couldn't cut

Meneltarmacil · 03-04-2007, 12:26 PM

Unfortunately, Bob had a mithril chainsaw.

Boromir88 · 03-04-2007, 12:48 PM

Fortunately the Mithril saw's giant power sucked up a lot of fuel and soon all of Middle-earth was completely fuel-less.

The 1,000 Reader · 03-04-2007, 03:56 PM

Unfortunately, that meant that the technology that we have today would never find roots in Middle-Earth.

Meneltarmacil · 03-04-2007, 05:00 PM

Fortunately, that explained why Middle-Earth didn't really undergo much of an industrial revolution over the course of Tolkien's writings.

Elmo · 03-04-2007, 05:00 PM

Unfortunately since Middle Earth is meant to be our past that means the internet doesn't exist and that means the Barrowdowns site doesn't exist, and that means this thread doesn't exist, and that means I'm typing into nothing, and that means I'm insane!!!!!!!!!

Rikae · 03-04-2007, 06:34 PM

Fortunately, the rest of us are either insane too, or figments of HWAIM's imagination.

Meneltarmacil · 03-04-2007, 06:49 PM

Unfortunately, it turned out that we were in fact insane and all woke up from our shared delusion in a mental hospital somewhere.

Rikae · 03-05-2007, 10:45 AM

Fortunately, we painted a door on the wall and walked through it into Middle Earth.

Meneltarmacil · 03-05-2007, 10:52 AM

Unfortunately, Mount Zoom ran us over once we had stepped through.

Elmo · 03-05-2007, 10:55 AM

Fortunately we were ran over beside a patch of athelas so we were alright

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-05-2007, 11:01 AM

Unfortunately, some were allergic to Athelas.

Boromir88 · 03-05-2007, 11:37 AM

Fortunately the 'some' were only 2, and no one felt it was a big deal, so they kept going.

Mithalwen · 03-05-2007, 11:44 AM

Unfortunately, *whispers* Middle Earth is only make-believe - absolutely wonderful make-believe, but not a real place, which left us ..nowhere...

Elmo · 03-05-2007, 11:46 AM

Fortunately, we all had some pipeweed, so that made nowhere somewhere

The Might · 03-05-2007, 04:54 PM

Unfortunately the effect of the pipeweed soon wore off, and we realised we still were nowhere...

Meneltarmacil · 03-05-2007, 04:57 PM

Fortunately, we were all teleported to Somewhere.

The 1,000 Reader · 03-05-2007, 07:48 PM

Unfortunately, that place was Eru's courtroom.

"I deem you all guilty for partaking in the lame and pathetic action of self-insertion!" Then everybody was thrown in the void and starved to death and froze.

Meanwhile, Gimil had finally found something to eat, but now he needed something to drink.

Meneltarmacil · 03-05-2007, 08:25 PM

Unfortunately, he found something to drink, but it was poisoned.

Boromir88 · 03-05-2007, 11:56 PM

Fortunately it was Iocane powder and Gimli had built up a resistance to Iocane.

(Bonus for anyone who knows what I am referencing)

Mithalwen · 03-06-2007, 05:17 AM

The Princess Bride... What's my prize?

Boromir88 · 03-06-2007, 08:44 AM

A congradulations of course,

. Good job.

Gil-Galad · 03-06-2007, 09:24 AM

Unfortunately, the DRAGON came in the night!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Might · 03-06-2007, 09:51 AM

Fortunately, he didn't attack anyone.

Elmo · 03-06-2007, 10:22 AM

Unfortunately, this is because everyone ran away from him, he torched plenty of buildings in Minas Tirith
