DF General Discussion / How dwarves learn the alphabet.
« on: September 04, 2010, 08:05:58 am »
So a recent topic in Dwarf Mode discussion got me thinking, "C is for Cookie" doesn't really cut it for dwarves, so how would a dwarf child learn about letters? So I compiled a list that should help any young dwarf grasp the basics of written communication:
A is for Alcohol, Artifacts, and Adamantine Space Elevators
B is for Booze, Barrels of Unicorn Blood, and Broken Limbs
C is for Caverns, Caravans, and Catslposions
D is for Drowning, Dismemberment, and Dead Diplomats
E is for Elephants, Elf-slaughtering, and Engraving
F is for Flooding, Forgotten Beasts, and Fun
G is for Goblins, Gears, and Grand Master Pump Operators
H is for Hippies, Hammers, and Haulers
I is for Industry, Infections, and Insanity
J is for Jealousy, Joy, and Job Cancellation
K is for Kobolds, Kilns, and Killing Sprees
L is for Levers, Labor, and Legendary
M is for Magma, Mining, and Microcline
N is for Nobles, Naming Items, and Nerve Damage
O is for Obsidian, Offerings, and Ore
P is for Procrastination, Parties, and Prepared Acorn Fly Brain
Q is for Quern, Quality, and Quarrels
R is for Running Away, Rest, and Rotting Corpses
S is for Sieges ,Strange Moods, and Stark Raving Mad
T is for Traps, Towers, and Tantrum Spirals
U is for Underground, Urist, and Unfortunate Accidents
V if for Vengeance, Vomit, and Vermin
W is for War Polar Bears, Wafers, and Waterfalls
X is for other civilizations. Dwarves don't need it.
Y is for Yellow Diamonds, Yetis, and Yelling for Body Parts
Z is for Zoos, Zinc, and ZZZZZZZZ
It's actually a pretty fun exercise.
Some of the letters really make you think.
