They're not for making glove fingers! Can you use them for making glove fingers? Sure, and I can haul water by walking my goat back and forth to the well with my chamber pot on her back, but I don't.

It's inscribed right there on the stone. Can you not read Babylonian Cuneiform? Are you some sort of Elamite Barbarian?

I come from Sur-Marrati. We only speak Assyrian in these parts. Hence my confusion.

Completely understandable, I apologize for misjudging you

einlander , in My face when she wants to move to Babylon but there are many reasons why we should stay in Nineveh.

Might as well compromise and move to either Sodom or Gomorrah.

You're right. I will compromise. I will sell the wife.

2? What am I some sort of poor Elamite barbarian? I have 7 other wives.

there are many reasons why we should stay in Nineveh.

Name one good thing about Nineveh that doesn't revolve around pleasing Inanna.

Inanna, Inanna, Inanna. That's all you hear all day at Nineveh.

Now Marduk. That's a god.

teft OP ,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

Name one good thing about Nineveh

It is not Babylon.

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Whatever. It's just some trading post for Uruk.

OlinOfTheHillPeople ,

Marduk desires not the barren wasteland of your desiccated viscera.

Better copper than in ur, anyway.

It's not that Ur's copper is bad, it's that they only trade the bad stuff and keep the good stuff for themselves.
