Finished my puppy/kitty dispensing pit.  It wasn't deep enough.  I now have piles of cute animals crawling about on their bellies and retching everywhere.  I genuinely feel like a terrible person.

Firebreathing worm forgotten beast. I missed the part that said it had wings, and it flew over my walls and set everything on fire.

Locking Urist McMoody in his room, only to discover a few months later "Urist McChild cancels sleep, interrupted by dwarf." shortly after Urist McMoody went breserk.  It turns out that I had accidently mined out a wall to the next bedroom.  I lost 3 dwarves before my military showed up. 

FUN.

After reading the first sentence, I halfway expected you had accidentally locked him in a room with a sleeping child.
Borderline nightmare fuel there.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Reading through this thread and discovering stone pots can be used to hold booze *thwap*

On the upside, my suicidal rushes for logs on my current fort can stop :P

BY ARMOK'S FLAMING TESTICLES, JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

A dwarf is nothing but an alcohol fuelled beard with the IQ of a parsnip, and that's insulting to the parsnips.

Oddly enough, I have got fortress mode to run. All of my dwarfs are towering feathered bristleworms with wings. They have barrels made of turkey tallow and chests made out of human hair.

Also, the wagon appears to have been hauled by turkeys.

Yup, duplicate raws. The gift that keeps on giving (you insane amounts of insanity)!

It's like HP Lovecraft took some particularly good (or bad) drugs...

This one time a Forgotten Beast made of Flames got to the stockpile where I keep my alcohol. I have over 10,000 drinks in storage. My game crashed! The face palm came when I found out that Forgotten Beasts made of fire were actually pretty easy to kill and I could have just sent my military after it instead of fumbling with my unreliable cave-in trap.

Booze is more precious than dwarves. Always save the booze first.

==OldGenesis mod== by Deon & TomiTapio. Five wood classes, four leather classes. Nine enemy civs. So much fine-tuning.

I have had it in my mind to build a nasty trap in front - or below - of my fortress entrance: a large hall containing a forbidden stockpile of alcohol connected to a magma chute that is sealed by a floodgate. I guess you already picture what I mean.

Goblins/humans/silly elves arrive and BOOM goes the ground under their feet.

But... The booze... Why would you waste the booze? Although, I suppose it's worth it if it kills elves in the process.

Booze can be made. Elves can be unmade with booze. It's the perfect cycle.

Booze doesn't explode.

It boils. The red gas is booze vapor.

He likes gold, native gold, trees that are made of gold, and tungsten. He likes cats for their haunting meows. He needs dwarf fortress to get through the working day. When possible, prefers to consume Potatoes, cheese, cow milk. Absolutely detests elves. And spiders.

True, but the common term for boiling booze is exploding, it looks like it, and it's often just as lethal.   Hell I think it can even throw creatures around, though I wasn't as certain about that bit.  It just can't modify terrain.

I consider folks calling them booze explosions to be technically wrong, but it gets the mental image across.   It actually seems pretty darn close to one of those movie style firebombs really, assuming you are using normal boiling points.

Hmmm. Does the 'explosion' go upward through grates?

Channel out a hall, lay grates, assign a lever or pressure plates to fill the booze stockpile below with magma. Dwarven landmines!
