An alternate version of The Descent of Inanna (thanks to evcelt) which caused me to scream with laughter and was quite sorely needed.

It is appropriately titled Inanna Goes Through a Lot Of Effort To Visit Relatives.

You know how people post, "ROFLMAO" but they've actually smiled a little bit. This is NOT one of those times. I did not fall off the chair, but there are people in the house wondering what caused the fit of screaming laughter.

"plus she shows up to the gates of hell wearing ALL OF THE BLING
like a sparkly dress
and some kind of rhinestone thong
and a tape measure made of precious gems I think?
basically every single thing you can have or wear
that is in no way appropriate for a funeral"

This is EXACTLY the bit where I began snorting tea through my nose!

Too hard to pick a favorite part. I started screaming with laughter after "Sumerian Hell SUCKS."

and also I adored

"but luckily for Inanna she kinda saw this coming
and she had one of her servants go around petitioning all the gods
like hey Inanna is about to do something dumb
wanna bail her out when she inevitably fucks up?"

She probably would have had a better experience if she had rented a car so she could leave and clear her head if she needed to. >:-P

^---This, I love!

Definately. A small rental car would have made all the difference!

Hee hee...

And, oh dear gods, have you read his versions of 'The Miller's Tale' and 'The Wizard of Oz'? And MACBETH!

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Not yet. Will explore.

He is a freaking genius. The Norse myths he's done are worth it by themselves.

I bought the_smith_e his "Norse Crisis Flowchart" t-shirt. ;-)

We spent much of this morning with me reading out the Norse myths and T completely incapacitated by it. "What the fuck, Loki?"

I was catching up on this blog while on the bus and literally had to cover my mouth to keep from LOL.

If you haven't read his post on the Mabinogion, do so.

The Mabinogion is a cavalcade of consonants
