Further evidence that what dwarves call "socks", we humans call "Kuribo's Shoe".

I sort of stopped watching tv when they took the Toonami block off CN.

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

TV would be better with more mountain trolls wielding giant socks.  Perhaps bashing someone with a toga next.


Hey I found a rail, and a silk thread...  Let's tie this one around that one.

It'd never make it on air.  There's FAR too much "throwing kittens into magma" and "I've got a captured goblin, what's a creative way to kill it?" to ever make it on any broadcast medium.  I'm amazed that it's even on the internet.  Hell, I'm surprised that all of our hard drives haven't committed ethical suicide.

Hey, if South Park is still airing...

That sounds too much like a crappy sitcom. Dwarf Fortress would be closer to "Invader Zim" or "Ren and Stimpy".

edit: "Invader Zim" + "Ed, Edd, and Eddy"

I imagine it more along the lines of Superjail!

Two notes:

Number one, yes to the Superjail thought.

Number two, I intend to develop a squad of dwarven sockfighters.

Socks.  Lots and lots of socks.  It's the greatest Dwarven vice of all, outstripping alcohol by several orders of magnitude: the desire to own and haul as many feet-warming tubes of cloth as possible.
It's the tent of Hilarious Flying Shenanigans!  Everyone's favorite circus.

Speaking of miscellaneous weapons, would it be possible to modify body parts to be considered "weapons". The thought of some dwarf naming his fist "Elfpummel" amuses me.
