  • Time for some silliness! So I was reminded of a game I used to like to play when I was younger, called Fortunately/Unfortunately. I think I'll play a few rounds and let you all take over. You start by having the main character start an activity:

    Jimmy walked over to his grandmother's house to take her some eggs and bacon for breakfast.

    Then you take turns alternately ruining his life and fixing it!

    FORTUNATELY he was a faster runner than the hungry dog that smelled the bacon.

    UNFORTUNATELY he wasn't faster than the car that hit him as he ran across the street.

    FORTUNATELY he flipped head over heels on impact and landed on his feet.

    UNFORTUNATELY he landed in a mudpuddle containing a water snake.

    FORTUNATELY he escaped by tossing the snake a hardboiled egg.

    UNFORTUNATELY he ran right into the middle of a bank robbery.

    FORTUNATELY he collided with the male bank robber and knocked the gun out of his hand

    UNFORTUNATELY the gun slid into the hand of the female accomplice, Becky Beater 

    FORTUNATELY Jimmy had been in the same 5th grade class with her.

    UNFORTUNATELY he had called her "Booger Eater" after she tried to hug him, a name that "stuck" to her for years.

    FORTUNATELY her love for him had not dimmed despite the passing of the years

    UNFORTUNATELY her love for Cold Hard Cash had blossomed into a long-term monogamous relationship.

    So what happens next? Is our hero going to be gunned down in the bank? Or, even worse, forced to kiss the "Booger Eater", or give her some of Grandma's succulent bacon and fluffy, tasty scrambled eggs? You tell me! ha.

  • hey thanks for the comment. i've never heard of fortunately/unfortunately, but it sounds fun! take care ~
  • FORTUNATELY, Becky was caught of guard when Jimmy ran and grabbed her up in a giant bear hug (he thinks fast) and so he had time to stuff her mouth with scrambles eggs and knock the gun away.
  • UNFORTUNATELY the male bank robber had recovered by this time and grabbed the gun.
  • fortunatly jimmy had less eggs to carry so he could run faster

  • Unfortunately the male bank robber, having been an avid rabbit hunter, was used to shooting down moving targets.

    Fortunately he tripped on a piece of greasy bacon from the aforementioned breakfast.

  • Unfortunately the bag of money fell out of his hands and slipped to the floor, attracting poor white trash and greedy wampum weasels.

    Fortunately Jimmy was sprinting merrily and outran the weasels and trash.

    Unfortunately Becky was sprinting right behind him

  • You'd rather eat chocolate chip cookies than frozen yogurt...ARE YOU MAD?!?!?!

    And actually it wasn't so much the unlimited free frozen yogurt that I took advantage of, but the 24 room service that delivered toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and chocolate milk to my door at 3 in the morning...man I miss that cruise.

  • Fortunately the eggs she had eaten weighed her down so she couldnt run as fast as normal.

    Unfortunately...jimmy has very short legs (b/c he is only 5'8.5") and can't outrun a girl to save his life.
