Best Sumerian Actress?

Please. Ninbanda all the way. Let's not forget that Ninbanda was the brightest star to hit Ur since Nanna, racking up countless awards and nominations, including 4 Gilgys in less than two decades, to become the most honored actress in the Fertile Crescent. And when the roles dried up, she headed north and conquered the stages of Kish. Sadly, it was here in Kish where Ninbanda suddenly took ill and died from ergot poisoning, but many suspected her ambitious understudy, Elaine Stritch, of spiking her barley ale.

I think MattDamania is generally underrated, and it's unfortunate her career has slumped of late. I think she still has some sweet honey left on her. Now it seems she is only known for one thing, and I'm not referring to her classic action series Ur-Bournanna. Why does MattDamania not get more respect, and why do people think she's resting comfortably on her considerable laurels of past success and the Damania ziggurat?

I understand MattDamania was upset she was overlooked in the acting Osk-urs. Why do you think she was overlooked?

by Anonymousreply 126August 25, 2014 12:17 AM

Leprous whores of Druaga's dread underworld harem, know you nothing of the great Shagshag's repertoire? Marduk spare us these uncivilized, unworthy fibers to twine His war net. Cease using your stylus to relieve your piles and leave the clay to potters at least.

r125, it was rumored that her estate included a graduated series of three male members carved of lapis lazuli. It is also rumored that the great Ninbanda now has them for her own dance of the curtains. It seems that Ninbanda held some very interesting blackmail that she chose not to reveal while Shagshag lived but the holder of the estate was more than happy to seal the deal post mortem. I was also told that the holder of the estate was surprised that Ninbanda knew exactly of the treasures in the first place. Each of the three has a famous name!!!

Or so I've been told.

That incense really works!

I also glimpsed that something called NSFW can be applied, possibly, to the goddess' fine form.

Yes R135. She was being bled to release some unclean spirits and suddenly Astarte halted her heart, the priests had to put her into an induced com ur. Her daughter Meliss Ur is at the Ziggurat with Jo-Ahun.

If Jo-ahun does descend below, will her womb fruit continue the selling of poorly made ornaments down by the river? None of those items looked genuine. Lapis lazuli? Anzu knows the truth!

The fruit of her womb Meliss- Ur is going to inherit scores of shekels, Astarte be praised she will no longer have to sell her questionable lapis and gold.

By the lapis of Shagshag, womb fruit Melliz-ur sells the polished dung of water buffaloes as Jo-ahun sold her own bowel movements. It has been foretold that this will end in tears of Marduk!

Hamonryebi! I just saw that many of Puabi's "special, private" clay tablets were hacked through her unshuttered window opening and they are making their way through the streets of Eridu. Apparently she had her scribe apply his stylus freely for personal communications with her beau Babum.

One wonders why she didn't delete these copies - unless her loins quiver at the cuneiform of her own pudenda. I wouldn't doubt it.

Puabi is just another of the Real Whores of Eridu. Just like the whore Erishti-Aya's...like throwing a mud brick through temple gates.

Jo-ahun has taken tight hold of the stone base of the ziggurat, and will not leave these earthly rocks to pass to her next life.

by Anonymousreply 146September 3, 2014 6:21 PM

Jo-ahun may indeed be ready to enter the arms of darkness, but her spawn, Meh Lizard, clings to her rotting sinews. She fears the living oblivion that will come to her with the passing. All the shekels of Kish will not buy her anything but the indifference due such a dog woman.

r144 - MY EYES!!

I just saw Puabi's private mud tablets - A man named F'u Chan has them on display in the atrium marketplace. Apparently, when the tablet clay was still soft, Puabi sat directly on it until an exact copy of her under region had been created.

How many times can it be said:

if you don't want people to see your skirt, don't sit on a wet clay tablet!!!

Jo-Ahun has been moved to a private tent. Some say this means she may awaken with the dawn, some say the Afterworld beckons her.

Only Erishkigal knows for sure at this point...

by Anonymousreply 149September 4, 2014 3:58 AM

It is whispered that Melliz-ur will sell the ashes of Jo-Ahun in the market place on the shore of the QuVe Sea. One also mumbled that vessels shall be made of this new stuff called "glass". People would not spend a sheckel for a bowl of her ashes in the traditional goat dung pot, but in this "glass", who knows. People have gone to this market place to buy the droppings of Mre Oz-Mun and now the ashes of Jo-Ahun. Marduk, save us.

When Puabi famously evoked an ex-temple concubine of Anu-noknok suffering from a curse of writhing worms in a "Lioness on a Hot Clay Overhang," it turned out she actually was suffering from writhing worms.

Does this undermine her accolades or underscore her verisimilitude? I mean, why should a leper get an award for playing a character where her toe falls off?

And I hear she's part Nubian, anyway. Worm Country.

As noted in the other tablet, Matt Damania is reprising her role as Bo-ur-ne. I am glad that we will no longer be exposed to ladyboy loving Jeremy Renn-ur.

The scribe also noted that Matt Damania is playing the role of Gilgamesh in an unusual case of a female playing a male lead. It is a quite a twist of the reed and a maj-ur risk the produc-urs are taking. However, Matt Damania is a versatile, risk-taking, subtle actress. She will be outstanding.
