Well, I suppose I'm just too good and innocent for this world, I ordered it and didn't even think about... THAT.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...

This is the most amazing thread I have ever read, and I wish I found it sooner!  (Not finished yet... but I love it and I probably have a few things to add if it wasn't already said already.)

I do have one..

You know you're obsessed when:  You wish you had short curly hair so you could do the hair ruffle

I suppose I am just as naive as you are. I did not order one but I thought them funny and did not think about THAT for one second.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...

When you're at your local Humane Society's adoption event, and see a cat that has been named John, and immediately think, "You need another one named Sherlock." 

When you hear that a certain REAL person, accused of leaking classified information, has fled the country, and you immediately think he should fake his death, or you think of Sherlock, or Moriarty, or Irene.

Same when you hear about a certain British newspaper and their notorious-information-gathering methods.

When you hear songs about Christ rising from the dead and think of The Empty House or The Empty Hearse. (Or vice versa, the episodes remind you of the songs.)

Google, for example, "Last Night," by Karen Peck and New River.

When relationship songs like this one, "When and Where" by Confederate Railroad,

Anytime, anyplace, say the word and I'm on my way

I can tell it's her by the way the phone rings
When she calls I drop everything
Snaps her fingers, and I'm there
Hello, darling, [Sherlock] when and where?


...remind you of Johnlock (all of the "hers" would have to be changed to "him", of course). Same with breakup and lost-loved-one songs.

When a Facebook friend calls Bert and Ernie "the oldest gay couple on television," and you reply, "What about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson?"

Somebody mentioned pets named Sherlock and Watson: my brother and sister-in-law just acquired a terrier mix and named it Watson. They wanted a "famous sidekick" name, (because dogs are faithful friends) and then they decided this guy was both smart and eager to please. (Watson is the quintessential faithful friend.) What's ironic is that the only Sherlock Holmes my brother follows is Elementary.

I think Sherlock and Watson work especially well for names for hounds.

... when you try to throw Sherlock-related quotes into your every day life as frequently as possible, and then get annoyed because no one realizes what they are.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I saw the girlie shirts on the BBC website. Like, if you wore that anywhere other than to a Sherlock fan meeting, what would people be thinking?!


I mean, the shirt is cool and everything, and I'd buy it just for the geek factor if the context just wasn't so ambiguous.

Well... where do girls normally shave? 

And yes, I do think Mark was quite intentional. And is now laughing really hard. 

And even if you don't think of that, it'd still imply that you have a moustache.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I shave my legs so that would be my  first thoughts if I saw the T-shirt. LOL!

I can think of at least 5 places I would wear that t-shirt.

Exactly, that's what I thought of too. That or armpits. But apparently I am very naïve.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...

Well, this may be TMI but...between armpits and legs there's another place women often shave or...wax...  Though I really don't see what the big deal is about the phrase--it's funny when you first hear it but when you think about it more, it doesn't really make sense.  Not to me, anyway.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...

A tad embarrassing!
I think it may be that gay men are known to shave ' down there', too!

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...

Ah there.
You know a woman shaved that way, along with bad hygiene, are probably the only physical turn offs I have. Probably why it didn't occur to me.


Hmmm that may fall into the TMI category too.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...

Now this is what happened to me today at the supermarket. 

I went to the check-out, put my things on the conveyor belt and a shop assistant told me her colleague would be there in a minute. So I stood there and waited and had some ideas about Mary shooting Sherlock and developed some theories and then … suddenly … I realised my things had disappeared from the belt. 
I turned around and saw the cashier at the other checkout smiling while she proceeded my purchase. And she was lovely because I apologised and she said: "You seemed so dreamy and relaxed we did not want to disturb you."
