Caption Competition Week 104
Alright, I promised a new pic tonight, so here we go.
The meaning of this moment totally leaves me in the dark. Enlighten me, ladies! What's going on here?

Re: Caption Competition Week 104
(Nice offerings this week, Solar. You aren't bad at choosing at all.)
News anchor the next morning: Two men are reported missing after being kidnapped by the Cabbie from Hell. What is even more mysterious, however, was that they did not see or hear it coming despite being in a quiet side street.
Clueing for looks.

John: "Sherlock, our cab!"
Sherlock: "Yeah.... hm... let's walk; look at all those stars and the moonlight, they will lead us home...."

Wow, the cabbie from hell and stars and moonlight... that's what I call romantic.

Yes, mysterious...... I really wonder, why.

John: "Ah, look, Sherlock, Venus crossing Virgo! How exciting! 
"
Sherlock, thinking: 'Apparently I do need to learn much more about all this!'

Re: Caption Competition Week 104
JOHN: Do you see her, there under the moon? It´s Mary Poppins. Travelling with the western wind, high about the world, alone...
SHERLOCK: Alone, you say? Well, not anymore.
JOHN: Wow, what is this? Is this Mycroft?
SHERLOCK: Yes, my brother, testing his new umbel-copter. And there! Already chatting with Miss Poppins... insufferable man!
JOHN: I wonder what they are speaking about?
SHERLOCK: He´s fishing for advice how to properly care for unruly children. Especially one big child.
JOHN: Oh, that´s why he patronises you so much! He will be as smug as a rooster tomorrow...
SHERLOCK: Maybe not - do you feel? It´s an eastern wind! I´ll hope it will blow him to Scotland as it did the last time he was bothering Miss Poppins!
JOHN: Serves him right, yes!

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Caption Competition Week 104
John thinking: * Wishing upon a star while Sherlock is around is no good. He always deduces what I'm wishing for and so it never gets true. *
Sherlock thinking: * omg John. So going to make your wish come true tonight... if you only knew! *
John: Um, Sherlock... why are you smiling like that??
Sherlock: Get into that cab. Now.

Re: Caption Competition Week 104
Sherlock, angry:
* what is it with this solar system? I'm unbuttoning my coat with my sexy leather gloves, and he is staring at the stars instead!! *

Re: Caption Competition Week 104
'What is it with this Solar System'...? Well, well, well... mentioning me in your caption won't get you anywhere!

John: So Sherlock, exactly how much did it cost you to hire a plane to skywrite "John Watson is bisexual"?

Re: Caption Competition Week 104
John: Do you think you can deduce where that plane is going, Sherlock?"
Sherlock: I don't have to, I can see that it's Mycroft's private jet flying him towards the Cake Capital of the World.

Re: Caption Competition Week 104
I love the skywriting idea, tonnaree! 
How about:
John: "Surrender Dorothy" Sherlock? really?
Sherlock: It says "Donovan", John. It's about time we track her down,
best way to get Anderson distracted and out of our way...

Re: Caption Competition Week 104
Okay everyone, thanks for all your wonderful ideas, you've really made me laugh.
It's always difficult to pick a winner, and this week I'm afraid I'm joining tonnaree at the shallow end of the pool. So here's the winner:
John: So Sherlock, exactly how much did it cost you to hire a plane to skywrite "John Watson is bisexual"?
tonnaree, I'm sure you'll come up with an inspiring new pic...!
