Turn it into a blob? Nice. Although the rot may cause it to die from infection, so it's risky.

Starting from "...may cause..." that could be one of the closest thing to what a Regular person may say said here in a long time...

A small sort-of update.

I simply decided to lock him up and make the cage a zoo. I find it amusing when my dwarves go there for a break or decide to throw a party.

But what's this?! An elven ambush led by the elven Princess! And they walked straight to my cage traps. What a confidence!

Oh I'm going to love this. But there are too many choices on this one!

( p.s: She's corpulent )

Use the wooden hut method I described. Make everything out of wood, and lock the elves in there, occasionally dropping charcoal in.

Ah, but you have to be practical as well! If the goblin just died like so many others, it wouldn't be all that special would it?

Also, I think having that goblin dancing next to a corpulent elf for all of eternity has been done before. Several times. :|
Thinking helms on people!

I have a solution for the lard-elf:

Charcoal treatment to remove her fat, then lock her in a wooden shed with the goblin.

Context makes the difference.
Taken out of context, it is non-bay 12 normal in that it's discussing the potential risk of something causing a lethal infection, killing you horribly.
Taken in context it's bay 12 normal, in that it's discussing the potential risk of killing off your designated vic...er.. meat-pup...err... bod... um. Boy. Nothing I can think of will make this sound "friendly". oh, wait, no. "Long term non-social test-buddy.", we'll call it.
Also: if it can't die due to starvation or thirst, I suggest walling it in in the middle of your dining hall. It can "see" the dwarfs around it, hear them, watch them carry around vast wealth and piles of meat...
And it can't do anything. Good times.

I'll modify that, shall I:

Charcoal treatment to remove her fat.
Then remove here skin.
Then do the same to the goblin.
Then lock them together in a wooden shed.
Once one of them dies, put the other in solitary.
When a siege comes, put the solitary one in the way.

Drop him into a corridor where there are traps with wooden weapons traps with one in each or regular whip traps for more satisfaction
Get exit&entrance of the corridor linked with freedom
Build doors on those and link them to pressure plates that are placed some squares before the doors
When the goblin goes for the exit, he steps on the plate and closes the door before him and open the other. The goblin rushes through the traps towards the other one and steps on the pressure plate and repeat

You'll have a whole Passion of the Goblin down there

Sounds like a simple repeater with training weapon traps thrown in.
Not actually a bad suggestion, but it feels so bland.
On the other hand, if it's a prisoner now, could you chain the goblin next to the gate as part of your early alarm system?
Would that work, in terms of detection of Goblin Thieves or ambush forces?
The ultimate betrayal, it would be. Short of, you know, growing a beard, donning steal armour and a kitten leather hat, and pulling the "Flood the world with magma" lever while chugging plump helmet whine.
