Kath · 07-10-2005, 09:32 AM

Fortunately as they were still only 2 inches tall they couldn't really do much damage.

Meneltarmacil · 07-10-2005, 11:25 AM

Unfortunately, Bilbo was now in Mirkwood surrounded by giant spiders... and had forgotten to get Sting back from Frodo.

Orominuialwen · 07-10-2005, 11:32 AM

Fortunately, it was all a terrible dream induced by too much ale the night before and he woke up.

the guy who be short · 07-10-2005, 11:40 AM

Unfortunately, he had slept funny and now had a rather painful back. Middle-Earth was still not developed enough for chiropa... back-fixing-people.

Kath · 07-10-2005, 11:42 AM

Fortunately he fell down a hill and his back got popped back into place, thus getting rid of any need for hobbits to invent chiropractors.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-10-2005, 12:33 PM

Unfortunately, he found that he was in Hobbiton and being attacked by the Sack-vill Bagginses.

Celuien · 07-10-2005, 02:14 PM

Fortunately, he still had the Ring, so he slipped it on and disappeared.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-10-2005, 02:41 PM

Unfortunately, the sun was out so they could still see his shadow.

Kath · 07-10-2005, 03:17 PM

Fortunately they were distracted by a cart carrying a large crate of spoons.

the guy who be short · 07-10-2005, 03:35 PM

Unfortunately the spoons were made of tin, so they were uninterested and turned back to attacking Bilbo. Additionally, they now had spoons to attack him with!

Kath · 07-10-2005, 03:38 PM

Fortunately that mind bending guy suddenly appeared and bent all the spoons so they could no longer fight.

Amanaduial the archer · 07-10-2005, 04:46 PM

Unfortunately, the mind-bending-spoon guy developed such a following in Middle Earth after that, that Tolkien suddenly found himself quite stuck for extras in his books....

Alcarillo · 07-10-2005, 04:51 PM

Fortunately, the spoon-bending guy was just a fad and everybody soon became bored of bent spoons.

The Elf-warrior · 07-11-2005, 07:30 PM

Unfortunately Uri Geller (The spoon-bending guy.) was working for the villainous Blue Wizards.

Gil-Galad · 07-11-2005, 09:07 PM

Fortunately The Tick came by and took all the spoons for his battle-Cry (SPOOOON!)

Kath · 07-12-2005, 07:05 AM

Unfortunately the Blue Wizards had the opposing and deadly battle-cry of 'SPOOOOOOOOOOONGUAAAAAAARRRRD'!

The Elf-warrior · 07-13-2005, 04:41 PM

Fortunately Gandalf was around to oppose the Tick and the Blue Wizards.

Gurthang · 07-13-2005, 05:07 PM

Unfortunately, blue is a prettier color than white, so the Tick and the Blue Wizards had the upper hand.

Holbytlass · 07-13-2005, 05:16 PM

Fortunately, the Blue wizards got Lyme disease from the Tick.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-13-2005, 11:44 PM

Unfortunately, some Balrogs who were bored came to stir up trouble.

Kath · 07-14-2005, 02:46 AM

Fortunately there was a sudden inrush of BDers to find out whether Balrog's really had wings or not and so they were crushed in the melee.

Gurthang · 07-14-2005, 11:22 AM

Unfortunately, the Balrogs were destroyed so quickly that none of the BDers saw if they had wings or not.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-14-2005, 11:25 AM

Fortunately, Tom Bombadill showed up to make sure the Downers werent too disheartened by the loss of one ever sought after answer, and so they chased him over the Barrow Downs for a while.

Boromir88 · 07-14-2005, 01:38 PM

Unfortunately, Tom Bombadil's constant singing drove BDers to start questioning their sanity...

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-14-2005, 01:40 PM

Fortunately, this was nothing new.

Celuien · 07-15-2005, 06:39 AM

Unfortunately, TB's singing really did drive the Downers to insanity this time and they were all locked in padded cells, along with Bilbo.

Orominuialwen · 07-15-2005, 06:51 AM

Fortunately, they were all allowed internet access, and so could still come here, despite their insanity. (Or perhaps because of it!

)

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-15-2005, 06:54 AM

Unfortunately, as this was going on, the Nazgul caught up with Frodo and were chasing him down the road.

wilwarin538 · 07-15-2005, 09:04 AM

Fortunately right after Frodo passed the light turned red.

The Elf-warrior · 07-15-2005, 07:50 PM

Unfortunately the Nazgul believe red lights are only for free folk.

Meneltarmacil · 07-15-2005, 08:55 PM

Fortunately, they were run over by a large truck.

The Elf-warrior · 07-15-2005, 09:09 PM

Unfortunately the truckdriver was working for the Blue Wizards.

Meneltarmacil · 07-15-2005, 09:55 PM

Fortunately, he was not very smart and drove right into a hillside.

THE Ka · 07-15-2005, 11:07 PM

Unfortunately, the hill was quiet hungry and shocked at the rudeness of this truck and swallowed it whole without a single thought of what it might be... Then it belched and excused itself.

~ Creative, alas Ka

The Elf-warrior · 07-16-2005, 09:54 AM

Fortunately that truck was loaded with Orcs, Olga-Hai and evil Men who are now all dead.

Meneltarmacil · 07-16-2005, 03:06 PM

Unfortunately, the Blue Wizards turned Frodo into a spotted toad.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-16-2005, 03:11 PM

Fortunately, a crazy and confused orange wizard came by and returned Frodo to normal and turned the blue wizards into daffodils.

Meneltarmacil · 07-16-2005, 04:12 PM

Unfortunately, the orange wizard was evil and took the Ring.

Kath · 07-16-2005, 04:16 PM

Fortunately he was so crazy and confused that he turned the Ring into speck of dust and lost it.

The Elf-warrior · 07-16-2005, 05:03 PM

Unfortunately the Ring didn't stay a speck of dust and Alatar picked it up and immediately killed Pallando.
