Fortunately/Unfortunately - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boromir88 · 03-31-2005, 06:19 PM

There's an old time game called fortunately/unfortunately that I remember playing back in the day. I decided to let's do one LOTR style. Ok, here's how it goes, someone starts off with a statement, then another makes a fortunate, or unfortunate remark, off that statement. These can be as funny or as serious as one wants....

_________________________________

For Example:

unfortunately, Aragorn fell off a cliff.

Fortunately, he landed in the water and not on the sharp rocks.

unfortunately, he can't swim

and it just goes on...They can get as whacky or serious as one wants.

_________________________________

So I'll start off....

Fortunately, Gimli finally found something to eat

malkatoj · 03-31-2005, 06:50 PM

Unfortunately, it was the fish that Gollum was speficically waiting for it to fatten up so he could eat it, and Gollum tried to strangle Gimli.

Ainaserkewen · 03-31-2005, 07:28 PM

Fortunately, Gimli is stronger then the fish-weakened Gollum.

AbercrombieOfRohan · 03-31-2005, 07:50 PM

Unfortunately, Gimli was unaware that Gollum grew up next to a nuclear power plant and when attacked actually swelled to the size of the Good-year blimp...

Elennar Starfire · 03-31-2005, 09:08 PM

Fortunately, blimps are easy to deflate if one knows the proper place to stick them with one of Legolas' arrows.

The Only Real Estel · 03-31-2005, 09:10 PM

Unfortunately, Gimli had a horrible fight with Legolas last night, and Legolas and his arrows were pouting in a corner.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-21-2005, 11:00 AM

Fortunately, Mt. Zoom was what the Orcs had renamed Mount Doom to after they attached wheels to it.

Meneltarmacil · 08-21-2005, 12:34 PM

Unfortunately, everything suddenly got caught in THE TIME WARP OF DOOOOOOOM!!!

WaynetheGoblin · 08-21-2005, 06:34 PM

Fourtunatly it was so small nothing could fit in it.

The Elf-warrior · 08-21-2005, 08:51 PM

Unfortunately the Balrog was still at large.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-22-2005, 03:02 AM

Fortunately, the Balrog was distracted by chasing Mount Doom (or Zoom)

The Elf-warrior · 09-13-2005, 06:17 PM

Fortunately Gandalf arrived in Middle-Earth safe and sound.

The Perky Ent · 09-13-2005, 06:18 PM

Unfortunatly, he landed on a distant island in the middle of the sea, and was never seen again! ....again!

Glirdan · 09-13-2005, 06:22 PM

Fourtunately, Manwë knew about the island and sent Gwahir to get Gandalf.

Meneltarmacil · 09-13-2005, 07:52 PM

Unfortunately, Gwaihir was getting pretty hungry, so he ate Gandalf.

Glirdan · 09-13-2005, 08:26 PM

Fourtunately, he didn't like the taste of Gandalf and he spit him out into Mordor.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-18-2005, 11:48 PM

Fourtunately, the main posters of this thread started the thread up again.

Unfortunately, all of the Middle Earth characters decided that they did not want to be toyed with in this cruel manner.

Yes, I went through a long period of not posting on this thread. Though, I don't quite know the reason why. But, don't try to usurp me! I'm the founder here!

Fortunately, Boromir88 gave them all 50 bucks and they came back.

Celuien · 09-19-2005, 06:43 AM

Unfortunately, the money was counterfeit and the characters were now very, very angry.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-19-2005, 09:11 AM

Fortunately, they soon found that the Orcs were so blinded by greed that they would accept these counterfeit monies. So now the Dwarves bought back Moria and everyone else paid the Orcs to go away for a million years.

Glirdan · 09-19-2005, 06:50 PM

Unfourtunately, everyone knows that Orcs are a bunch of lieing, kinivng idiots and that they wouldn't go away. So instead, they told them that if they jumped into Mount Doom, they'd find the money. So they did.

Hookbill the Goomba · 12-13-2005, 12:51 AM

Unfortunately, the fell engine sounds of Mount Zoom boomed over the land and the smoke blinded them all!

ElentariGreenleaf · 12-13-2005, 11:04 AM

Fortunately, the smoke cured the plague and all other illnesses in Middle Earth.

Farael · 12-13-2005, 12:06 PM

Unfortunately it did not help much those who had athsma.... but rather it made their life impossible!

Captain Grishnahk · 12-13-2005, 12:14 PM

Fortunatly, they were over populating Middle Earth anyway... and their deaths were not grieved.

Glirdan · 12-13-2005, 09:33 PM

Unfortunately, the Elves who died overcrowded the Halls of Mandos and he soon had to move out of his cool bachelor pad.

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-08-2006, 03:02 PM

Unfortunately, some strange creatures from the future came by and attached hover devices to the Mountain and it began to fly off into the sky, scorching birds as it went.

Farael · 01-08-2006, 03:25 PM

Fortunately, Gondor had been developing an anti-air missile to help with the Nazghul fell beasts and they shot down Mt. Doom, then they wielded it into place making sure it will not get wheels, hover-craft, legs, tracks or be carried around by any kind of living or undead creature

Good lord NO!

Unfortunatley, the Lord Denethor passed a law that the ring, Mt. Doom or Sauron could never be mentioned again. ever.

Farael · 01-08-2006, 04:37 PM

Fortunately, this allowed Gimli to start eating what he had found originally and which started all this mess

Meneltarmacil · 01-08-2006, 04:58 PM

Unfortunately, he was inexplicably transformed into a large cockroach.

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-09-2006, 09:19 AM

Fortunately, in case you forgot, the most ugly creature in the universe still had the Ring.

JennyHallu · 02-09-2006, 09:21 AM

Unfortunately I'm beautiful now, and have claimed the world, and me and Son of Gollum decided to hold a All Hail the Master--(oops, pardon me) MISTRESS of the Universe Party.

Wait. The beautiful bit is fortunate. It's just the Mistress of the Universe bit that has people worried.

Tuor of Gondolin · 02-09-2006, 11:33 AM

Fortunately (for those desiring Middle-earth domination)
only characters derived from the legendarium can
aspire to Middle-earth dominion (although other
areas such as Hogwarts or Narnia are open to control)
so Son of Gollum, also known as Smeagol Jr./Gollum the Lesser,
convinced the ugliest creature in the universe to give him
Ring Five (or is it Six

) which had just
a dash of the power of the original ring, but enough
for him to open a giant fish factory in Osgiliath
(financial backing provided by Elessar and
their silent partner Shelob, hey, a giant spider's got
to eat).

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-09-2006, 11:38 AM

It's back!

Unfortunately, the self-proclaimed master (sorry, mistress) of the universe was squished by a mysterious volcano with wheels. She were buried in the lava that was left by the Zooming Mountain.

JennyHallu · 02-09-2006, 11:39 AM

Unfortunately, convinced suddenly of my own non-existence, I (what's left of me)disappear in a puff of orange smoke to pursue my dreams of world-domination elsewhere.

Canada...anyone have dibs on Canada?

THE Ka · 02-09-2006, 07:02 PM

Fortunately, Eru who had been taking a coffee break on the veranda was suddenly struck with a memory that Arda had been brought about somehow, by himself, and soon returned to place Middle Earth, in what it always has been, Arda. The one ring was included into this reboot by means of a sneaky virus, which just happened to be an unfashionable creature called Gollum. Who soon took upon a rat-race with a orc, a few oliphants, and Frodo ( with or without Sam).

~ Aesthete

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-15-2006, 03:04 AM

. . . Tom was so punny Eru destroyed everything just to get rid of him.

Tuor of Gondolin · 02-15-2006, 01:11 PM

Fortunately Tom was so puny Eru didn't have
to destroy everything to get rid of him.

Oh yeah, and delenta est Chief Warg!

JennyHallu · 02-15-2006, 01:19 PM

Unfortunately, the Barrow-Downs definitely got squished.
