Fortunately, Unfortunately

[Jamie-o]

This is similar to the story game in which each person adds a little bit to the story, but the twist is that each post has to start alternately with "Fortunately" and "Unfortunately".


Example:

If I started:  "There once was a duck named Millard Mallard, who lived in the desert far, far away from the nearest duck pond."

The next person might write: "Fortunately, he was a wealthy duck, so he was able to buy a nice house with a big pool and a gorgeous pool boy."

And the following person might write: "Unfortunately, the pool boy's secret ambition was to be a French chef.  His favorite dish?  Duck a L'orange."

And so forth, alternating back and forth.  Here goes:

Unfortunately, it was his prized Louisville Slugger, personally signed by Bobby "The Basher" Basilisk at the 1229 Fairyworld Series, so he hated to get it all mucked up with Knight blood.
