Fortunately, Johnny the Stinky Balrog was hit by a giant meteor falling out of the sky and died instantly.

Unfortunately, he was resurrected seconds later.

fortunately, he made a law that said there could be no winged balrog, citing the fact that "it just wouldn't be right." any balrog caught with wing was subjected to being arrested and sent to the lockholes, where the wings were amputated. this healed devisions in tolkien fans the world over.

Unfortunately, the lockholes were filled with Hobbits at the time.

Fortunately, the Hobbits were set free by a mysterious fellow in a blue hat and jacket with yellow boots. Authorities have yet to find out who or what this person was.

Unfortunately, they never found out as the mysterious fellow and the hobbits were burnt into a tiny black crisp by Smaug.

fortunately, that's only how it seemed. that mysterious man in yellow boots killed the dragon before any burning to a crisp could be accompished. then he had a drink.

Unfrotunately, he was caught and everyone realised it was just Tom. So they tied him up and shucked HIM into the lockholes. :p

Fortunately, he killed Johnny the Stinky Balrog.

Unfortunately before Johnny the stinky Balrog killed Tom, Tom put a curse on him. Declaring Johnny will forever have Tom Bombadillo's song stuck in his head.

Fortunately, this caused Johnny the Stinky Balrog to go a bit insane. He wandered the countryside singing his song and doing a strange shuffling dance. eventually, a lynch mob led by a bold knihgt erent found him and took care of the problem.

Unfortunately Mandos had to lock up the ghosts of Legolas and Figwit.

Fortunately, this was a good a thing.

Unfortunately, the number of fan emails that Legolas and Figwit received completely overloaded the server at the Halls of Mandos and caused Valinor to go up in flames.

Fortunately Valinor sank to extinguish the flames and then rose back up again

I couldn't resist this one
 

Unfortunately, Valinor spontaneously combusted.

Fortunatly, so did Perky (because he has been very sick and tired lately) and no one had to worry about being cold

Unfortunately, as with most pesky germs, they can't help but pass themselves along and entered into Middle Earth on a mission of empathy...

~ Ka

Fortunately, the germs were destroyed by Orc germs.

Unfortunately . . .
 

. . . the origin of Orc germs were questioned. Were they beast germs, or Elf germs corrupted by Morgoth?

Fortunatley, after being threatened by Gandalf with the threat of fire, they fessed up. They were, in fact, Elf germs corrupted to the service of Morgoth. After teh defeat of Morgoth, they became a self-serving race, wandering the land and multiplying at a terrific rate.

Unfortunately, the orc-germs multiplied at a teriffic rate also. It mutated and caused everyone to come down with orc-pox.

Fortunately, Nilp returned just in time to save us all.

Welcome back Nilp!! And Perky as well!!

Unfortunately they have yet to save the Quiz Room

(sorry about that, but it hurt so much to see it neglectet. I am sure you will get this thread back on track)

My goodness them ork-germs kept this thread down for two days!!!

fortuantely, gandalf spoke a word of Command, and the orc-germs relinquished their hold on teh quiz forum!

Unfortunately they spread to every other forum on the downs.

Fortunately, the Mighty Wight stepped in and stopped it.

Unfortunately, by the Mighty Wight's interference as Gandalf would say "even the very wise can not see all ends." and by interfering in the affairs the orc virus which would have wiped out and killed off a lot of the threads, didn't. Soon it caused the forum to overload from the overpopulating threads and everyone's computer blew up.

The Rats are stealing the pipe!
 

Fortunately, the Mighty Wight is very powerful and could put everything to rights. Or lefts.

Unfortunately, he was too lazy to do anything.

Fortunately, The Mighty Wizards of Pentdranoop arrived and started to fix things!

Unfortunately Gimli wanted to have a little snack and he was feeling hungry for The Mighty Wizards of Pentdranoop that particular day.

Fortunately, a tree fell down and landed on his head before he could eat them.

Unfortunately it was a very small tree and the only effect it had was that Gimli from that moment forth, was known as Gimli Bonsai-Helmet.

Fortunately, a bigger tree fell down on top of Legolas who was standing beside him. Bye bye Captain Obvious. ;) :D :p

Unfortunately that Legolas fan girl, (Her name is Mary-Sue.) landed back in Middle-Earth at the very moment the tree fell on Legolas.

Fortunately, she landed in Mount Doom and was consumed by the flames of the mountain.

Unfortunately Gimli ate The Mighty Wizards of Pentdranoop.

Fortunately, Gimli Bonsai-Helmet rememberd to chew them a proper amount of times; resulting in that Gimli Bonsai-Helmet never had to eat again.

Unfortunately . . .
 

. . . Gimli-Bonsai-Helmet had a bad case of indigestion, and the resulting pancreatic emesis melted a hole in Ilúrambar (the Walls of the World, I think). Morgoth re-entered the world!!!

(Sorry, Rune, ability to be online is still too chancy, can't fully re-commit to the Quiz Room yet. Wait 'til November, and we'll be back, precious.)
