Fortunately...the term "much, much, much, much worse" was an exaggeration and it was really only "much worse"...which is better than 4 "much"s!

Gil-Galad · 06-21-2005, 09:59 AM

Unfortunately that was also an exageration, it was 50 times worser then much much much much much worse

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-21-2005, 10:12 AM

Fortunately, Gandalf came and made everything better again with his Wizard powers.

Vinyacoriel · 06-21-2005, 11:13 AM

Unfortunately, that does not mean that he got rid of Sauron, Mt. Doom, or the Ring

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-21-2005, 11:28 AM

Fortunately, Gandalf managed to put them all on the right track.

Kath · 06-21-2005, 01:16 PM

Unfortunately the right track led over a very large chasm.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-21-2005, 01:49 PM

Fortunately, it led over a very large chasm. (There was a bridge)

Kath · 06-21-2005, 01:52 PM

Unfortunately the brigde broke.

The Elf-warrior · 06-21-2005, 07:25 PM

Fortunately only the last inch was dangerous.

Gil-Galad · 06-22-2005, 08:25 AM

Unfortunately we are back in Middle Earth terms, so it was much, much bigger(read the past posts for more info)

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-22-2005, 09:57 AM

Fortunately, while the bickering over the dangerous part of it was going on, they had got over it and were on the way to Mount Doom!

Kath · 06-22-2005, 01:37 PM

Unfortunately they had forgotten Frodo's fear of heights and turned to see him still on the bridge, which was now swaying dangerously.

Nimrodel_9 · 06-22-2005, 02:21 PM

Fortunately Gandalf was not afraid of heights and ran back to get him.

Gil-Galad · 06-22-2005, 03:14 PM

Unfortunately he slipped on a bannana peel

The Elf-warrior · 06-22-2005, 08:39 PM

Fortunately Gandalf recovered his balance.

Kath · 06-23-2005, 03:11 AM

Unfortunately he recovered it halfway down the chasm.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-23-2005, 12:05 PM

Fortunately, Gandalfs have been known to fly with winged speed, and thus rose upon his shadowy wings on a random draft of air to get Frodo.

Gil-Galad · 06-23-2005, 12:33 PM

Unfortunately he went the wrong way and kept going farther into the chasm

Vinyacoriel · 06-23-2005, 07:15 PM

Fortunately the winds changed so he could get back to Frodo.

Kath · 06-24-2005, 05:06 AM

Unfortunately Frodo was long gone as Pippin (who we all know has a good head for heights) had returned to fetch him and they had all continued on their journey.

Amanaduial the archer · 06-24-2005, 07:39 AM

Fortunately, chasm-dwelling balrogs and the like aren't really such bad chaps as the media makes them out to be; so, after stopping for a consoling cuppa with one of not-a-bad-chap-after-all balrogs, Gandalph, refreshed, set off after Frodo and co.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-24-2005, 07:48 AM

Unfortunately, Gandalph was an evil impersonator of Gandalf! And he was out to kill them all! *Dramatic music*

Celuien · 06-24-2005, 08:05 AM

Fortunately, an army of non-evil Elvis impersonators was on its way to battle evil-Gandalph.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-24-2005, 08:07 AM

Unfortunately, Gandalph was too powerful for them.

Kath · 06-24-2005, 11:39 AM

Fortunately he was not powerful enough to defeat the evil Elvis impersonators who had secretly followed the non-evil ones and then sang off-key until Gandalph collapsed in a heap.

Gil-Galad · 06-24-2005, 02:07 PM

Unfortuantely Gandalf's good-nature went and helped the Evil Gandalph(Gandalf is deaf

)

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-24-2005, 02:25 PM

Fortunately, Gandalf had some magic 'hear ye again' lotion, which he put on his ears and soon realised that what Gandalph was muttering was pure evil!

Amanaduial the archer · 06-24-2005, 04:25 PM

Unfortunately, now that Gandalf could hear his evil twin speaking such dark mutterings against Frodo, the company and hobbit-kind in general (such thoughts that Gandalf would never have dreamt of, except maybe on a very bad morning when certain hobbitses were late for dwarven meetings...but that's another story), and similarly now that evil-Gandalf had encountered such a sickly-sweet-samaritan version of himself, that both Gandalfs were sent into such an identity crisis that immediate therapy was needed, elvis impersonators or no elvis impersonators.

(...and you are all now free to lynch me for the debateable grammar and appaling length of that sentence. Phew.)

The Elf-warrior · 06-24-2005, 05:47 PM

Fortunately Gandalf remembered his mission and found the Hobbits in an inn.

Gil-Galad · 06-24-2005, 06:01 PM

Unfortunately the hobbits got into a fight with a bunch of mimes from New York

The Elf-warrior · 06-24-2005, 08:54 PM

Fortunately Gandalf broke up the fight.

Amanaduial the archer · 06-25-2005, 04:00 PM

Unfortunately, the time-space-reality warp caused by the arrival of the mimes caused the hobbits to be, once more, rather frozen in time, as J.R.R. Tolkien span in his grave with quite enough energy to light up several small cities.

Kath · 06-25-2005, 05:03 PM

Fortunately this caused the deletion of the mimes and so all was back to normal.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-26-2005, 01:37 AM

Unfortunately, during the deletion of the mimes, Frodo lost an arm somehow.

Kath · 06-26-2005, 07:59 AM

Fortunately (for ME if not for Frodo) this was the arm that had the Ring on it so ME was saved!

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-26-2005, 08:48 AM

Unfortunately, the ring put power into the arm and it started crawling away!

Celuien · 06-26-2005, 08:54 AM

Fortunately, it was crawling directly toward Mount Doom, which was no longer mobile due to damage to its suspension caused by speeding over potholes.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-26-2005, 08:56 AM

Unfortunately, it was crawling directly toward Mount Doom in order to fix it.

Gil-Galad · 06-26-2005, 10:19 AM

Fortunately, the arm beleived that the only way to fix it was to throw the ring into Mt.Doom

The Elf-warrior · 06-27-2005, 03:05 PM

Unfortunately the arm claimed the Ring as it's own.
