When dwarf noble or a priest visits a brothel and has an adverse reaction due to their traits, they may make begin making speeches in meeting areas, causing some listeners to become more "currently more inhibited" if they feel ashamed, threatened, or chastised by the speech.

Work orders should require that folders and filing cabinets  be made and placed in the manager’s office before they can be created.  Active work orders should have a chance of being canceled with a message that says “A folder in the manager’s office has collapsed!”.

The manager or his assistant messengers must post copies of each work order to locations around the fort. 
Dwarves finishing a task may or may not visit a work order bulletin board to accept another job.

(actually I like this idea)

Dwarves can go to locations where the work orders are posted and alter them to get themselves out of work or remove the work orders entirely to mess with the manager.

This leads to the development of multi-sheet chitties, where every job requires a triplicate of triplications, and leads up to "I can't let you have my blue N62 top-copy, because I have to have either yellow HG17 or a countersigned green F40a, otherwise I'll be given a red 204j... And if I get a red 204j, 'cos of you, you'll know about it from the purple QQ22-7 that your doctor's gonna have to give your nearest[1] relative!"


[1] In the purely geometric sense, naturally. This is simply just another DF pathfinding solution of finding the most adjacent suitably-aligned dwarf for the task of bringing food and drink to the person in bed rest. Officially.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Daryl the love pony must become a permanent figure in dwarven myth

After Daryl's death, his skin is made into an artifact costume that compels it's wearers (it requires two of them) to forgo food, drink, and sleep in order to "entertain the kiddies", ultimately resulting in their deaths (and lots of miasma).

Daryl the love pony is now the only historic figure in dwarf fortress as no other figure could be as famous or important as that pony.

Dwarven taverns feature pony shows as entertainment. Elves may also be involved.

“Pony shows” involve seeing who can shove a flail up the elf’s ass the furthest.

35% chance that pony shows will also involve dogs in some capacity. Dwarves will inexplicably treat said "dog and pony shows" as objects of derision.

Any creature without a name should be referred to as a forgotten beast and announced as one whenever it arrives on the map or is born

If any named creature is off the map (or otherwise not within line-of-sight of at least one of your citizens) for at least one in-game month, it’s name will be forgotten and it will transform into a forgotten beast.
