Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Amish.


I have "Jurassic Park" on my playlist.
"You Don't Love Me Any More" is good, too.

Amish Paradise.

Beyond that he's only mildly amusing, I wouldn't really want to listen to him for pleasure.

I only like Amish Paradise because I'm Mennonite,  really. Well, and because Gangsta Paradise is a sweet song.

Heheh, yes. My favorite has to be Amish Paradise but 'Why does this always happen to me' is good too. And the beginning of the fat one is hilarious.

Maybe I'm just too young to know what the heck he's doing a parody of in all the other ones.

Amish Paradise is a good one. Don't forget "Yoda" for comedic value.

I have his first CD (don't ask how). It's from 1984 (!) and has all manner of songs I never heard in my life (born in 87) as well as a couple classics (King of Pain, Eye of the Tiger, etc.)

"A long long time ago in a galaxy far away" is fairly easy to get, no to mention hillarious.

Especially if you know the Don Maclean version, not just the Madonna travesty.

Yes.
I know of him, but I haven't met him.
Yes.
Don't have one, I don't really care much for his stuff anymore.
