Unfortunately, Carrie blamed Floyd for the collapse because if he hadn't been following so closely he wouldn't have caught her gas on fire and the cave wouldn't have collapsed. He tried to mention that he would have been killed if he hadn't done that because the cat would have eaten him, but she had stopped listening by that point and stormed off to look for another entrance.

[Mike Cato]

Fortunately she happened upon a young Milo Washington, aka Amemeba, who just happened to know the route.

[Mike Cato]

Unfortunately he was right in the middle of a long-winded discussion of state-of-the-art Cenozoic caving techniques with Wayne Harrison.

[cob]

Fortunately, Wayne was unable to follow some of Milos more tortured logic, and was desperately seeking a way out of the discussion so when Carrie came along he had his out,...

[cob]

Unfortunately Milo managed to rope Carrie into a discussion of why "Women are the downfall of caving".


(sorry milo, could not resist)

Unfortunately Milo managed to rope Carrie into a discussion of why "Women are the downfall of caving".

Fortunately, it was getting late and Milo had drunk so much fermented pineapple juice that his ramblings became more incoherent and amusing at the same time. Being a good sport, he did promise a fossil to each of the listeners for engaging in the conversation.

[Wayne Harrison]

Unfortunately, another caver came along and declared that all this was moot because Inuvik was going to secede from Canada.

Unfortunately, another caver came along and declared that all this was moot because Inuvik was going to secede from Canada.

Fortunately, there were now enough cavers milling around to spontaneously generate some new cave for them to explore. Incidentally, this constitutes what is most likely the oldest datum used in the formulation of the <a href="http://www.psc-cavers.org/gangsta-mappers/milling.htm">Milling Around Theory of Speleogenesis</a>.

Unfortunately, most of this new cave was vertical, and static rope hadn't been invented yet.

[cob]

Fortunately, Floyd knew Carries secret name and said 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair.'

With that, Carrie, who "had magnificent long hair, fine as spun gold, and when she heard the voice of Floyd, she unfastened her braided tresses, wound them round one of the columns, and then the hair fell twenty ells down, and Floyd rappeled down by it.

[icave]

Unfortunately, at the narrowest point of the decent a 26 1/2 pound rock fell, wedging itself between Floyd's leg and the wall during his rappel.

[cavemanjonny]

Fortunately, Carrie was still above and was jerked off the edge of the pit by Floyd's abrupt stop. She smashed into Floyd, knocking him loose and sending them to the bottom of the pit where they both landed on a large hodag, breaking their fall.

Unfortunately, there has since then been irreparable enmity between hodag and caver.

simply because they taste so bad as barbecue...

but FORTUNATELY, there was still plenty of grog to wash it down with.
