Fine, you don't want me to sleep. He can't stop touching himself. Wonder why?

And there's the brown spot he has next to the pupil of the right eye. Mmmm. Delish.

PS: This is definitely my favourite thread on these forums. I'm moving in here :D

Welcome, Lestrade. This thread is really fun and one of the craziest in the forum.

Lestrade · September 7, 2012 8:03 am

Thanks, SusiGo. You guys are amazing finding and sharing all those lovely Benedict pics.

SusiGo · September 7, 2012 8:13 am

My pleasure. So here's another one for you:

After this thread has been asleep for two days, here's some new stuff. The scene is from PE 3:

Mattlocked · September 9, 2012 8:40 am

Ah, time for new pics!
I think I really have to go on with P.E. - if only the weather here was bad!!

Here's a link to a Youtube video of the song I mentioned a while back (Crayola Doesn't Make a Color for Your Eyes):

It's really cute -- and appropriate.

In case you are not familiar with Crayola -- they make crayons and other such arts and crafts things.

And here's a sample of the lyrics:

"At first I thought of Green Blue, but then I saw Blue Green.
And then sometimes in bright light, they look Aquamarine.
I think at night they're darker. I looked again for you.
Saw Grey and Black and went out walkin' after Midnight Blue
But the hues of the deepest skies would be a compromise
Crayola doesn't make a color for your eyes.
There is no way that I could possibly describe you.
Crayola doesn't make a color to draw my love."

Good n-eye-ght!

SusiGo · September 10, 2012 4:33 pm

OMG, I nearly fainted. I think it's perfect (just the way I imagine Leo, just dreaming).

Mattlocked · September 10, 2012 4:35 pm

As Leo okay, as Ben too much Brisk in the hair.

SusiGo · September 10, 2012 4:36 pm

Hm, but it would be 1920s style, wouldn't it? Just saying. I know you don't like the slicked back look.

Susi, have you regained consciousness yet? That is a great photo, was it back and white when you found it or did you convert it? Looks quite 'authentic'. And the slicked back hair (yum) is quite authentic for the period. But let's face it, we would be happy with any hair style as long as he was on tv. Any news on the English translations yet?

SusiGo · September 10, 2012 5:34 pm

Just getting myself together again . It was black and white when I found it, that makes it so convincing. No news on a translation so far, but maybe I'll be hearing something after Frankfurt Book Fair in October. It's the biggest marketplace for literary rights and licences in the world. I go there every year to meet my editors.

hepzibah · September 10, 2012 5:44 pm

When I worked in a bookshop I used to help out at the Byron Bay Writers Festival (bit smaller than Frankfurt, but still...) and I always had such a great time and got to meet some brilliant Aussie authors including Tom Keneally who wrote Schindler's List. It was always my dream to go to the Frankfurt Book Fair. Oh well, when I win the Lottery! Make sure you let your editors and publisher know that you have a ready-made market here. Just don't mention the craziness, okay.
