Why are people thudding in this thread? Brainy is the new sexy?

I was in shock that this almost forgotten anagram was solved so quickly by the cleverest detective's clever kitty.

Oh - I got it.
Am I right in assuming that the prop in question is VERY German?

Mattlocked · November 6, 2012 6:09 pm

VERY German? How should WE know then??

Yes, tobe, it is that.

Gee, I don't know. It's either VERY German, or it's not german at all.

I just hope we haven't solved this anagram before. I should make an anagrams solved thread. More work for this clever kitty, though....but what's work, when you're having fun?

Come on guys, give it a try! I don't want to solve it now. Just think of someone German you, in case of being German, are not ashamed being associated with... (no Lederhosen, Sauerkraut, Dieter Bohlen and the like )
(I hope, Kitty, giving that hint was ok for you?)

sherlockskitty · November 7, 2012 7:57 am

that's ok tobe any clue is fine. Here are other clues, and I'll recap here too--

TOUGH
FEET
SOB

Clues--Series 2, three words, Seen in Sherlock's bedroom. Think of someone German you, in case of being German, are not ashamed being associated with... (no Lederhosen, Sauerkraut, Dieter Bohlen and the like) It's also a canon thing. You can also look on sherlockology.com for their props.

yes, mattlocked, but what is it? Please list it for our Sherlockians who may not be familiar with this object (of my affection)

Mattlocked · November 7, 2012 5:32 pm

Was difficult for me, too, as it is "Goethe-Büste" in German.

BUST OF GOETHE

sherlockskitty · November 7, 2012 5:38 pm

That's correct. you got it very well. thank you for playing, and for telling us the german words for it. I do like learning foreign words.

You may post another anagram for us.

tobeornot221b · November 7, 2012 5:52 pm

Btw, Kitty, how do you pronounce "Goethe"? At school, our English teacher said you don't say "Geu-te" like we do, but "Go-eee-theee". Is that right?

Mattlocked · November 7, 2012 6:07 pm

Next one:

Sherlock can muff Robb

No hints.

Mattlocked · November 8, 2012 9:20 pm

Bump!

sherlockskitty · November 9, 2012 2:57 am

you have to tell us how many words are in the answer. That's one rule we must stand firm on. Please? with a cherry on top?

Mattlocked · November 9, 2012 9:21 am

It's not so easy.... 4 words, strictly speaking.

tobeornot221b · November 11, 2012 11:46 am

Sitting here at my desk, feet up on the table, knitting, Scrabble tiles at hand, Hotel California on the radio. I need a direction I can think into! Please give us a hint. For example: Is the word Sherlock meant to be left as a whole word or allowed to be cut into letter pieces?

Mattlocked · November 11, 2012 4:31 pm

Hahaaaa! THAT was a trick, wasn't it!?
Okay, Sherlock is meant as one word; keep it as it is....
More hints are really difficult, as it is no thing you can touch or quote... But it is near, so near....

tobeornot221b · November 11, 2012 5:00 pm

Strictly speaking, there are six words in your four-word anagram!

Mattlocked · November 11, 2012 6:28 pm

Strictly speaking, your solution is wrong.
