He likes Quagmire Brutes (giggity giggity) for their horrifying features.

Sort of in line with the OP I like when you get

"Argued with a spouse recently; lost a spouse to tragedy recently; reveled in battle recently; enjoyed a slaughter recently"

I would like it more if it was: "Argued with a spouse recently; reveled in battle recently; enjoyed a slaughter recently; lost a spouse to tragedy recently"

Heh, I thought it was innocent--everything sucks but "satisfied at work" too, I always think those lines are vaguely tragic, since dwarves seem kinda driven by their arts and crafts--it's a bit like, "well my wife and child are dead of thirst, I'm next, sleeping on the ground, there are rats around and goblins above.  At least I can make soap, precious precious soap"

It's also funny how they can "Enjoy a nice engraving", even when it depicts the deaths of their family.

*Sigh*
"My wife is dead..."
"My children are dead..."
"At least the walls are engraved beautifully."
"I never thought one could depict their bloody, tragic deaths so beautifully."
"I have never been happier in my entire life."

Don't they actually get BAD thoughts if they watch a questionable engraving? I remember stories of an engraver who had a grudge with someone and plastered this dwarfs bedroom with engravings of his hated vermin, resulting in bad thoughts. (Hilarious!)

They do if the vermin are in their preferences list as hated.
But for whatever reason the depiction of their entire extended family being brutally raped and murdered does not, because the game doesn't check for that or whatever.

Friend of mine had a Forgotten Beast show up in his fort shaped like "A towering noseless ass."  Better yet, it warned to "beware its poisonous gas."

I had a fortress called Whippedlove, with the group name called Construct of Flesh, and they were citizens of the Bust of Orbs. All randomly generated of course, it was serendipity.

I too have seen this happen.

"On the wall is a picture of Domok Rinsedblades the dwarf and oysters. Domok Rinsedblades is surrounded by the oysters."

Domok Rinsedblades absolutely detests oysters.

And no-one was his friend.

I was running a two-hermit fortress (the original got a debilitating leg injury) and both hated worms. All they made was statues of worms. They didn't seem to mind them being set up at the end of each hallway, though. I like to think the ones in their offices kept them working quicker.

As to the main topic: I get a chuckle almost every time I look at a dwarf's status screen. Simultaneous complaints about long duty and relief from duty are always great.

Every time I see one of those I send the squad into a danger room.
