Skitty -- But I had a cat that loved crickets -- to catch and eat, that is. Crunchy, I guess. I know it sounds gross, but it's true.

Napoleon - Remember what happened to John for graffiti.

Smoggy - I got my husband to watch it twice, but after that I was on my own.

My cat seems to love eating everything that flies or crawles . Every time I hear that crunching sound I feel like I haven't fed him for weeks .

When your family sits down to watch a movie, you say "Can I pick it?" and they all scream "NOOOOO!" because they know what you're going to pick and they're 100% sick of it.

How familiar!
I'm afraid one day after me having chosen Sherlock for watching they will shout all together "Bored! Bored! Bored!"

221B - Sorry to get off topic, but I really love your avatar. I don't know what it takes to get your artwork on redbubble.com, but if you did, I bet it would sell really well. I would buy it on a t-shirt in a minute. Think about it, will you?

veecee, I went to redbubble.com and saw there are lots of them)), the background is also black only the font is not red but white. But I think they can change font's colour to your desire and you'll be a happy possessor of wonderful T-shirt .

I finally got them to watch Pink with me today. I've seen it a half-dozen times but I'd never before caught the part where Sherlock says, "When he's not busy being the British secret service or the CIA on a freelance basis." Love that line now.

Thank you. I have one already, but I want one exactly like your avatar. The red lettering is great -- especially the shade that it is on my monitor.

I know what you mean. I see or hear something new everytime through. And sometimes it's something that someone on the forum pointed out.

My husband watched the pilot with me this weekend, so that was fun.

So, what did they think of Pink?

I see. But I'm afraid I can be of no help in this matter, sorry!

You should sell the design!

They'd already seen it, so they thought it was boring.

They didn't think I was boring, though, they thought I was insane because I kept just chuckling at the tiniest little things.

The first time I watched the unaired pilot I was with my dad and I just kept pointing out all the little things that were different, and he kept saying, "You actually notice this stuff?"

Of course you do because you both see and observe.

221B Baker Street · July 3, 2012 11:12 pm

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when the first thing you do in the morning is checking this forum for new posts .

And the last thing before you go to bed -- which is what I'm doing now.

Davina · July 4, 2012 5:28 am

That's me too folks!

SusiGo · July 4, 2012 5:51 am

Me, too, although I'm going on a trip with my family. But first things first.

hypergreenfrog · July 4, 2012 6:18 am

I can definitely relate to that... spending waaaay too much time checking new posts...

SusiGo · July 4, 2012 5:14 pm

Today I took Sherlock to the Netherlands. We visited a theme park. I went in my grey I am Sherlocked t-shirt and a woman came up to me and asked where I got it. She told me her friend had got her husband's name which was Sherlock and she wanted to get her a t-shirt. It sounded a bit cryptic. Could there be really Dutch people who are called Sherlock? Well, I told her where I got it and she was happy. Actually I'd planned to leave a message in the ladies toilet but they were so neat and clean that I didn't dare to write on the wall. However, I left some "I believe in Sherlock Holmes" messages in black marker on toilet paper. How crazy can you get? .

I didn't think anyone was named Sherlock anymore, even in England. It would be like naming your son Oliver Twist or The Great Gatsby. But I wouldn't be surprised if there is a new batch of Sherlocks and Benedicts in eight or nine months here in the US.

SusiGo · July 4, 2012 8:42 pm

Yes, it sounded a bit strange but then she wasn't an English native speaker either. Maybe she didn't want to say: "I'm a big Sherlock fan, please tell where you got the shirt."

Oh, really, it may happen!
