[Archive] Chaos Dwarfs' Favourite Fruit

TimothyLeighton:

Gardening the other day. My wife pondered out loud what fertiliser to put on the gooseberries as ‘they prefer fire derived fertilisers’ (i.e. ash). And all I could think was 'Fire derived fertilisers? I bet Chaos Dwarfs love a nice gooseberry pie up in Zharr Naggrund.'

I feel like my brain’s been poisoned.

Abecedar:

The durian would be a favorite. The worst smelling fruit ever.

TimothyLeighton:

Lying awake in the middle of the night wondering what Chaos Dwarfs would eat. There’s hardly any sun in Zharr Naggrund so growing plants would be really tricky. So assuming they eat loads of meat does that mean they all die in middle age from heart attackes or bowel cancer? Or is it fair to assume a race of magic worshipping dwarf hybrids don’t have the same biology as humans?

But then dwarfs live for ages. But do non chaos dwarfs not eat any fruit and veg?

The conclusion I came to was that Chaos Dwarfs and Dwarfs in general have absolutely terrible bowel movements. They don’t eat much roughage and so are bunged up for days on end contributing their general grumpiness.

If you factor in the ‘turning to stone’ thing then in all possibility Chaos Dwarf bowel movements are like passing kidney stones.

Has anyone else wasted quite so much time and brain power on something so utterly pointless?

I would have to say that I spent more time wondering why it went from gooseberries to ashes to chaos dwarf back to gooseberries to smelly fruit to if dwarfs eat vegs and fruit to horrible bowel movements.

Considering what I do for a job. No I haven't thought about it that deeply.
