Unfortunately, Strider smelled foul. Or fowl. Or smelled of fowl. Or something like that.

Fortunately, he took a bath.

Unfortunately, after Strider took his first bath in like 30 years, it turned out that Strider was actually Alatar one of the blue wizards

Fortunately, after he took another bath he became Alatar the White.

Unfortunaly, Gandalf was reborn and he (Aragorn) became Alatar the Multicoloured.

Fortunately, for he had nothing better to do, he took a nice long bath ....

Unfortunately, he became Alatar the Radioactive.

Fortunately, he wore lead clothing. (Don't ask me how.)

Unfortunately, it wasnt water proof so the hobbits had to help him.

Fortunately, Hobbits like taking baths. (???)

Unfortunately, Pippin drowned.

Fortunately they just replaced Pippin with Fatty Bolger.

Unfortunately, he drowned to, and soon aragon was surrounded by masses of floating dead hobbits in his bath.

Fortunately, his radioactivity resurrected them and gave them super powers.

Unfortunaly, the Super Hobbits became evil and replaced the Nazgul as Sauron's generals.

Fortunately, they thought evildoing was too adventurous and uncomfortable and decided to have a smoke-ring contest instead.

Unfortunately, these Smoke-Rings became Evil Smoke-Rings of Potential Doom due to the super-hobbits radioactive powers

Fortunately, scince the nazgul were out of jobs they became good, and started super nine super hero team, to fight the evil smoke rings

Unfortunately, the Flat Morg-Yak, Were-Feanor, and Bob the Troll came to help them out, forging an unstoppable army of evil. Muahahahahhahahahahahahahah!

Fortunately, other running-gags from this thread came out to support the nice-Nazgul agaienst evil and thus bringing about a civil war of running gags

Good:
Alien-Eating Dog
Mount Zoom
Johnny the Stinky Balrog
Strider the Alatar

and the rest shall be decided by other people that remmber the other running gags...

Unfortunately, the Witch-King summoned EA, who gave him an enormous army, freaky spells, a smart warrior troll, a guy who looked like a dwarf, and a name for a Nazgul. The might of Angmar defeated the evil Hobbits, and with the freezing wind power, Strider's bathwater blew towards Mordor and forced it to suffer from horrific plague.

Fortunately someone hacked the EA program and deleted Witch-king from it

Unfortunately, that hacker was The Witch-King and a paradox emerged

Fortunately, Eru decided to simply do away with the paradox and watch what happened, since restarting the world had gotten typical and boring.

Unfortunately, gandalf died.

Fortunately, he came back as "Gandalf the Transparent"; an omnipotent entity never before (or during, or after) seen in Middle Earth.

Unfortunately, the only transparent part of him was... of course... his cloak. :rolleyes:

Fortunately that year transparent was the new black.

Unfortunately, like Wilde once said, six months too soon 'the new black' became 'the new Nine' and thus our pauvre Gandalf was ambushed by an confused group of suspicious hobbits with fashion sense...


~ Ka

Fortunately, Gandalf explained everything to them, and their sense of fashion went away.

Unfortunately, Gandalf was still standing the the middle of the Shire with nothing covered up, so he did some jail time.

Fortunately, he only got two hours of jail time in the Shire for public Nudity

Unfortunately, his cell was under the Water.

Fortunately, he was omnipotent, which meant that the hobbits couldn't create a jail cell G the T couldn't escape. (Whether he could create such a cell, now that's another question...)

Unfortunately, he was with a burly cellmate named Bubba.

Fortunately, Bubba helped Gandalf get out of Jail nice and un noticied

Unfortunately, Bubba wanted something in return that Gandalf did not want to let Bubba have.

Fortunately, gandalf was happy to die in his under water cell.

Unfortunately, his two hours were up so they let Gandalf out

Fortunately (for hobbit dominance of Middle-earth) out of work
Sharkey Shirereeves conspired with Gandalf and Bubba to seize control
of the secret nerve center of Middle-earth (Farmer Maggott's kitchen).
