Are you wearing pants Vhanja? Cause if you don't wear pants it makes it even better.

Vhanja · October 18, 2015 12:46 pm

Pants are the US version for trousers, yes? I do, but they are torn. And got a worn-out band t-shirt. So it' sall good.

Oh Vhanja, that's perfect! If I wasn't so exhausted I'd do it myself...

Yes, I am too tired for Sherlock. I am nodding off to sleep all the time, and that's not fair to Sherlock!!

Excellent plan, Vhanja! I do hope you've enjoyed your day (well, obviously you have -how could one not with such a plan?)

...when you read an introduction to a book about Oscar Wilde and reads that his lover's father's name was John Sholto Douglas.

Wonder if that's where ACD got the name from?
Is it ACD, or was that Gatiss original?

In any case, if it was inspired by this person, I think it's a rather bad touch.
John Sholto Douglas was the reason why Oscar Wilde went through hell (John Sholto Douglas disapproved -to put it mildly- of his son's acquaitance and relationship with Wilde; so four days after his play The Importance of Being Earnest's debut he sent him a visiting card which read " to Oscar Wilde, posing Sodomite").
That would make a terrible inspiration, if you ask me...

I know...I'm a Wilde fanatic!

Lilythiell · October 23, 2015 8:41 pm

Quite right too!

...when you hear "Dancing With Myself" ... and crack up, reduced to tears.

When you're watching a 'Border Security' TV show, and a man is stopped with a handgun lighter, and you immediately think of ASiP

When your kids bring you a hot drink with an eyeball on the side, and it's surprisingly okay!

nakahara · October 30, 2015 7:37 am

Such a lovely eyeball drink! You are a lucky person to have such a sweet kids....

This Is The Phantom Lady · October 30, 2015 9:24 am

I have those chocolate eyeballs too! I couldn't walk away from them at the store, lol. They are surely surpisingly okay with a cup of tea!

I also couldn't walk away from a decorative skull in the store the other day... I already have a skull, but well... this one was a bit more anatomically correct!

When the word 'poppet' is used on Doctor Who and your brain jumps straight to Sherlock reading the telegrams

Lilythiell · October 30, 2015 7:28 pm

Ha! Good one.

Mine's a bit...not.
...when you find yourself apologising for "a bit not good" behaviour...
And afterwards saying to a different person "I am not having emotions ever again"

... when your brother mentions Spectre at the family birthday party, and your first reaction is to yell happily: "Yeah, Andrew Scott from Sherlock is in that one!", leaving everyone in the room except my geek nephew confused.

Lilythiell · October 30, 2015 7:50 pm

XD :D

Also..."there should always be a spectre at the feast" is the first thought that popped into my head ^^
