sweet dreams aren't made of these

This is a superior quality Alder bed.  On the item is a finely-designed image of Vucar Ringzeal the dwarf in green glass by Zefon Sulusustuth.  Vucar Ringzeal is cringing.  The artwork relates to the crushing of the dwarf Vucar Ringzeal under a collapsing ceiling in Helmsacks in the midspring of 1051.

I'm thinking this bed would be good for one of the (many) kids of Eshtan Fortresslashed, who replaced Vucar as the fortress miner.  Losing Vucar was a cruel blow, by the way: my seven were the only free dwarves left.  Ten years on, the kids (14 so far) are still not really a net contribution to the economy. 

Got any similarly grisly bedroom decorations?

Ostargakit,  “Burythief”, a dwarf bone bed

Weight: 275T      Basic Value: 1200*

This is a dwarf bone bed.   All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality

It was shortly after the dwarfpocolyps.  The military had won the day, but 40 good dwarfs entered the final tunnel.  The goblins pushed up to the 3rd level of soaring tower before dwarven wave attacks finally broke them.  The time was ripe, there had been no alcohol for months.  The gobo's were just the straw that broke the two humped camels back.  One of the fortress guard broke ranks, took to a melencholy mood, turned to his neighbor and killed him with his bare hands.  He then hauled the poor corpse to a crafts workshop, and behold Ostargakit.  The baron now sleeps on this bed to remind his minions of that time, and of the consequences of rebellion.

And this is how tinned food was invented.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you will look sweet upon the seat
of a bicycle built for two.

Ostargakit, 
What?

Commas apparently break things now, so don't use them.

Doppel has been ecstatic lately. He took joy in playing DF lately. He slept on a rough cave keyboard recently.
He is a member of the Dwarf Fortress Forums.
Doppel likes the color Dark Blue, cats for their aloofness and girls for their silky soft brea beards.
He appreciates art and natural beauty.

They only break things if you used them before the forum went all phoenix on us, and now they murder the rest of the post.

Now that we've elected new forum software, yes we can use commas.

More importantly, I can say that Burythief is a pretty awesome piece.  Any more Halloween-appropriate items?
