By little I mean, honestly little stuff.  Not stuff you consider little because you're an experienced player.  I mean LITTLE.  For me its the swarm of fireflies flitting around a section of the multi-zlevel wall I'm building.

Watching my army march of after disposing of a few minor creatures and going straight to bed.

Tonight one of my miners (who I think is now dead because he didn't run from magma fast enough) spilled rum in my well reservoir. I was hoping that the rum pool would engulf the entire reservoir as liquids exposed to water become limitless. Sadly, it did not. The prospect of a well of rum-water made me laugh though.

Now if these dwarves would just stop dumping their booze EVERYWHERE!!!

How do they spill rum and what color on the floor is it?

I like how my expedition leader is an asexual legendary miner and weaponsmith with a soft spot for puppies and trolls for their terrifying features.

I also love how my metalsmith keeps making statues of all my military dwarfs being struck down. I know it's hilarious that Urist McHelmetless was killed by a wooden bolt, but do you really need to wast all the platinum making statues of him and all the others dieing in horrible ways?

I don't know what they do to spill rum. This is the first embark I have EVER seen this happen. They just spill their booze all over the place. It actually looks like blood/magma when it's stained on the walls and ground. It was rather confusing and because they kept spilling it on my bridge, I didn't realize there was an overflow of lava until it was too late. Right now I'm still trying to drain enough that I can recover my main entrance.

realising my metal smiths are turning out masterwork furniture. and today, digging out lovely blue metal

Having my favourite dwarf win the lever roulette and not die.

Alright, seiges, blue metal, that type of stuff doesn't count.  In a way, I don't think booze filled underground cisterns are either.  I suppose a bunch of soldiers playing frisbee with a pelvis after a quick sortie and going back to bed would be a small pleasure, but its a little on the large side.

Here's another example of something small.  It involves cats, and while it didn't make me like them anymore then I did before [I still had them killed] it was somewhat amusing.  I saw all the cats and kittens in the fortress in a 3x3 block flickering back and forth and spilling across the surface.  At first I thought it was a massive cat fight or something until I used k and inspected the center of the cat pile.  They were all frisking about chasing a monarch butterfly.

Bats that randomly appear whenever I build a tower with fortifications.

[Wastedlabor]

Released tame vermin flying around the towers.

Floored rooms (with Ironhand's graphic set).

Water draining through floor grates.

Stray war dogs getting a name in battle.

Getting a lasher female migrant with an attitude, giving her the "Dungeon Priestess" profession and watching her go berserk on hopeless goblins.

Why priestess?  Mistress sounds more fitting.

Usually when little pet animals sent FB or ambushers back to the hell they spawned from or when one of my machinery work as intended.

I had just promoted a Captain of the Guard during a tantrum spiral, and guess what? Yes he did. It was interesting because he killed the mayor and the manager, and then went on to kill a few workers before finally calming down. I made a story that he became drunk with power and decided to kill off the current management and install his own mayor, and then went on to kill workmen that he thought were unproductive, or that he just didn't like. Military Sociopath, setting up a puppet dictatorship.

My little thing is finding such great stories in the action.
