I am a really big fan of the 1001 threads, so I thought I would create this one. I don't know if its ever been done, but I am curious to see what you can come up with.
So lets get started.

1. Coat him in honey and let a dire bear eat him.
2. Punch him to death
3. Put it in a sack with a dog, snake and a monkey and throw in a lake.

Okay, now you go.

Delayed Blast Fireball! It which the spells components are made to look like chocolate truffles! :D
Use it as a piece offering and make a quiet exit during the (max 5) rounds it digests in the goblin then BOOOOOOOM!

Mess like that, they'll be needing blotters to clean the little guy up! :P

well, there's always the obvious slash, bludgeon, and pincushion, but those are boring.

Let it feed your dragon friend.
Give it one copper, and give the goblin next to it one gold!
Teleport it three miles above solid ground.

That reminds me of the first game of D&D I played (2nd edition), the DM's buddy had a half-minotaur character. When fighting our second or third battle, the minotaur picked up one of the goblins and used him as a weapon to batter the other goblins (no, I don't know what the dieroll for the goblin was). After a couple of rounds, he rolled a natural 1 and our rather sadistic DM was using the critical failure rule. He rolled a d6 to determine the result:

He broke the goblin.

so I guess that's 49

50. Spend two months and a few thousand gold researching Hornung's baneful deflector. Line up ten goblins like bowling pins. Get a halfling master thrower to help you test probability. I reccommend he have two weapon fighting, rapid shot, and flurry of blows, along with a big sack full of shuriken.

(How could you do that to a lovable little kobold?)

48. leave him in a room with a bucket of water every night, and set him on fire, just a bit. After four nights, switch to a bucket of lamp oil.

THAT is simply evil... my turn!

167. Introduce him to a Golden Dragon.
168. Introduce him to ANY dragon, for that matter.
169. Try to convince him that if he cut off the head of a powerful creature and replaced it with his own, he'd gain it's power. Even if he killed it via fluke, he's still screwed.
170. Talk him into streaking through a Dwarven town (bribe him) and then point and laugh.
171. (even better!) Pay him to sneak into a village of random humans, pay him beforehand. When he's in the middle of town, yell "GOBLIN!" and wait.
172. Get him into a drinking contest with an orc.
173. Give a bunch of them knives and forks and put them into a room together, then lock the door and come back on a month. See which one's left.
174. Take the one that's left and chain him to a boulder, push the boulder down a hill and tell him to keep up. He'll fail. He's a goblin.

I'll be back with more later...
