...After rereading the quotes and ignoring the context, I have to agree: Things out of context are funny.
Now let's get back to flinging dwarves at goblins.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

I started a thread about this a while back. The easiest way to implement it would seem to be a "designate as catapult amunition" button similar to dumping or melting. Barrels are currently unbreakable, but if they shattered on impact then venom and forgotten beast ichor would suddenly have an actual use.
This would also mesh excellently with the planned ability to designate items and tiles to be lit on fire.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

also works with the blood barrels if you mod the blood to have contact syndromes or if you then magma the booze

Bay12 doesn't have moral event horizons, it has goals.

Urist Mcoperator fires Yak cow with the catapult loaded with Yak cow head. Yak cow head hits the yak cow in the head bruising the muscle, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing the brain.

Raining burning cats onto an approaching siege would be pretty awesome.

I'm amazed noone mentioned the obvious.

The spinning Axelord strikes the Dragon in the lower body, bruising the liver. tearing apart the spleen and tearing apart the left kidney!
The Axelord has lodged firmly in the wound!
The dragon breathes fire!
The Dragon is relieved that he is immune to fire!

And if you miss, he'll just dodge the earth.

*Ahem*

 Would be nice if the damage formula for catapults worked based on weight and stuff. Lots of funkiness that could happen. For an even more amusing feature, stacks of items could split apart upon firing. A stack of bones would cover a hallway in wonderful macabre junk. Arrows could be a deadly alternative.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Um... arrow firing catapults? Aren't those just inaccurate ballistae?

Note to self: Catapults firing ballistae.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.

Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.
