Fortunately...Unfortunately...

[freeztar]

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.

The year was 2012.It was a bright sunny morning on the east side of Chicago, when Keith rose to find he was out of tequila.Now Keith, being a happy go lucky kinda guy, found that a morning shot was all it took to ensure a most properous day.Unfortunately, the liquor store was closed.

[freeztar]

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 all the bottles of tequila, a high grade brand, were sealed with corks and Keith had no cork puller!



and um, pam had them

[pamela]

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

[Moontanman]

Fortunately he had his genetic geostationary search device and was able to zero in on the infamous Pamela by the genetic traces left by her lipstick!

[pamela]

but you know that forensic loving thief, removed the outer epidermis of her lips before applying Loreal 46 shade desire.No dna to be found and as luck would have it, every belks in town, sold that shade .Unfortunately, the trail had grown cold

[freeztar]

Fortunately, it was discovered that Belk's only showed purchases for that particular shade of lipstick 8 times during the last month. Investigators are searching the video tapes.

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)

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.
