Fortunately...Unfortunately...

Recommended Posts

In the spirit of Boerseun's "Change-a-word" thread, I'd like to introduce another game of sorts. It's a game I used to play as a kid and it is perfectly suited for a forum collaboration.

 

Basically, a story is set in motion and usually it involves some sort of travesty. The beginning storyteller sets the scenario and ends with "fortunately...". The next person starts with "unfortunately" and it alternates from there.

 

Example: "A man lands on a deserted island and finds a cave to call home. He's cold and tired, but fortunately he has matches". The next person might say, "unfortunately, the matches were wet". The next person could say, "fortunately, he had a lighter as well". etc.

 

Someone set up the story for our poor unwitting character and the ball will be rolling. I'm hoping we can bring in a lot of science or sci-fi ideas. :)

Fortunately, Keith had crates of tequila saved over from Y2K (how they managed to last that long is a mystery...well, it was a mystery until he found them in late February, lying in the "fallout shelter" (cellar)). He even had a whole crate full of beans that were preserved in acetic acid.

Unfortunately, when he went to get a bottle, the stash had disappeared.He cleverly looked around to see if the perpetrator had left any incriminating evidence.And there it was...a red lipstick print left on the door.Oh, he knew that print only too well, it was his arch nemesis, Pamela.The most evil of all tequila snatching thieves.She would infact, rob you blind, all the while her lips were pressed against yours.Unfortunately,he did not no where to begin the search for her

Fortunately after riding his motorcycle to every department store in town he realizes the notorious tequila thief is fascinated by motorcycles as he catches Pamela trying to hot wire his bike as he is coming out of the last department store in town.

 

(we're going to have to coordinate this a little better:hihi:)

Meanwhile back at the urban ranch, what was Keith to do? he simply must have a shot, or his day would be as well.Luckily for him the trash hadnt been picked up yet.He dove like a madman into the dumpster and retrieved all 4 bags from the week.After emptying the remains of the bottles he was only able to get a half shots worth. So off he went to start his hot fully loaded, chromed out 96 sportster.

Pamela of course, had a 1946 Indian fully restored, and headed off back to her posh, renovated warehouse fully stocked with every amenity, including 1800 cases of Petrone. Keith while on the otherhand, trying to get some semblance of sanity, and only a half a shot under his belt, sat down and began to read.

Fortunately as Keith read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" he heard a small pop. He looked up to see that a little green alien about 18" tall had appeared. Instantly he wondered just what had been in those tequila bottles he had drained to get his half shot. The small green alien leaned close and whispered. "I know know where Pamela is holed up with your tequila!"

But Pamela, having fined tuned her mind reading capabilities , able to cleave thru both space and time, and yea, even thru the most closed of extraterrestrial thought patterns, was able to confound them both with her new location. And of course, there was that one particular rendevous, with that fine cat from Nabiru, that gave her much insight not only into their psyche, but developed a passion for that rocking moonshine elixir that was to totally transcend for.

Fortunately for Keith, Zod his little green alien buddy, had a electrogravitic tracking device that was totally unaffected by all mind powers. Zod attached the device to Keith's motorcycle which Keith was able to repair using advice from his copy of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Keith put his little buddy in his back pack the race was on to find the tequila thief before she could drink all of Keith's prized tequila collection....

That Pamela, the matermind of all thievery, was yet one step ahead of keith and his dastardly plan to steal back the prized petrone.She initiated the invisible force field surrounding her Indian, and not only did it protect her from view, but could successfully scramble any and all types of signals transmitted thru all magnetic fields.however there was one glitch, if Keith, being empowered physically by means of uranium, he could indeed actually find her with his paramagnetic abilities.

 

 

 

btw-this story is absolutely cracking me up:D

and now a word from our sponsor "biodome, dont leave home without it "

 

Unfortunately, a Texas-size asteroid hit Pamela's garage and erased all traces of biological life in the upper biosphere. Fortunately, the deep hot biosphere survived, but it will take another three billion years before the upper biosphere is re-seeded and sufficiently re-evolved so that this story can continue.

 

we now return you to your scheduled programming "the adventures of tequila swilling Keith and his arch nemesis and quite beautiful Pamela"
