Okay, I remember hearing this over the radio a long time ago in a teenager's bedroom far far away.
Basically the rules are; to come up with a person and then create his life using fortunately and unfortunate circumstances. One person types out something fortunate happening to our hero, the next person types out something unfortunate happening that cancels out the fortunate part, then next person types out something (different) a fortunate that cancels out the unfortunate and so on.
This is one where ya have to pay attention to the (last) post to see if the next (your) post will be a fortunate or unfortunate one.
Example.
John was going to catch a plane, fortunately he was going to make it on time.
Unfortunately the plane broke down
Fortunately the mechanics were able to repair it
Unfortunately they were inexperienced
Fortunately their supervisor wasn't.
Unfortunately he had the day off
Fortunately the plane was able to take off
Unfortunately it blew up in mid-air
Fortunately John was sitting in the back of the plane and was blown clear
Unfortunately he didnt' have a paracute
Fortunately he landed in a big soft haystack
Unfortunately the farmer left his pitchfork in there.
And so on...
We could do a martial art theme which would keep in relation to this forum and give us all something we can relate to... We'll make it a couple... Say their names are... Chuck and Cynthia :wink1:
Starting with the theme of: Chuck and Cynthia decided to study Martial Arts together!
Fortunately they found dozens of different MA schools to choose from.
