Mostly I've been thinking about your boobs ever since you described them.

When did I do that?  Maybe you're thinking of someone else.

I do love a challenge.

Oh, come now, "truly impressive" could mean one thousand different things to one thousand different people.  I'd hardly call that a description.

And AlohaDawg, you must surely be personally acquainted with bosom of at least one pregnant lady.  Those aren't my breasts you're picturing, not really.

Truly impressive makes me think of a  ziggurat.

Truly impressive makes me think of a  ziggurat.

Which is stupid.

The Ancient Sumerians are all dead.

Thus proving ziggurats are hazardous to your health.

Picturing one's reality really makes for a limp fantasy.

How do we always end up talking about the Ancient Sumerians when you're around, Bobby?

[CortJstr]

Now I've just a picture in my head of impressive ziggurat breasts. Boobs should not have steps, people!

Because only the ancient Near East would have curses like this for business contracts:

Before your very eyes  may dogs and swine drag the teats of your young women and the c*ckes of your young men to and fro in the squares of Assur; may the earth not receive your corpses but may your burial place be in the belly of a dog or pig.

-- Parpola, Simo and Watanabe, Kazuko. Neo-Assyrian Treaties and Loyalty Oaths. Helsinki University Press, State Archives of Assyria Vol. 2. 1998.

So many, in fact, that there's a grammatical structure for it.

By the way, just sayin' that that curse would be rad alt text for Achewood.

The Sumerians come up a lot at my house, but that's only because of my house rule that all phone messages must be scrit in cuneiform.
