Description
When I was a kid, my siblings and I used to play Sherlock Holmes a lot. I come from a long line of nerds. We used to fight over who got to be Holmes. I usually won.In honor of playtimes long past, I give you Scratch and Sibelius as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, respectively. They seem to be having fun.
Also, yeah, I know it's blurry, I've been trying to fix that for the past hour and a half. I'll try again later.

How dyou play Sherlock Holmes? Me and some friends meet regularly to do Doctor Who roleplaying, where like someone writes an episode and we all waste our time getting distracted and things. Is that similar?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...Yeah, that's actually really similar to what we'd do. XD How off-topic did you get? I remember one time, the game ended with Sherlock (played by me) arresting Professor Snape's sister (played by my sister, who inexplicably named her character Bill) for the murder of John the Baptist (played by my brother, who still doesn't understand why I found it weird at all that John the Baptist was there).

That's just. Epic. XDD We don't quite match up to that level of randomness, I'm afraid. K9, as a rule, tries to sell himself to the opposing force. Sometimes we knock Martha out or leave her in a hole in the space/time continuum, as an expression of friendly, casual racism. Rose chases ice-cream vans... David Tennant sometimes makes an appearance, but conveniently shoots himself if it gets too confusing. My brother was throwing tomatoes at an ants nest, so we took all his luck points and as a result the Doctor died. You can get luck points back by referencing episodes, or reciting the Pandorica speech :')

That sounds AMAZING. I would love to give that a go, if anyone I knew (from real life, anyway) watched Doctor Who. Or even knew what Doctor Who is.

Yeah, I'm in Texas. And you are...*checks profile*...a bajillion miles away.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*nod*, it appears so. What's Texas like? Dyou like it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Texas has kind of a bad reputation over here, but yeah, I'm pretty fond of it. In the summer, it gets so hot that if you stay outside for more than an hour you literally start to cook. And since we're so close to Louisiana, we'll occasionally get a lost alligator wandering in from the swamps.
But my end of Texas is completely covered in pine trees, so it's this lovely shade of green all year around, and since a major highway runs through my hometown, we get to meet all kinds of people from all over the country, and right at the end of summer when it finally starts to cool off we get HUGE BUNCHES OF FIREFLIES, and it's amazing.
How d'you like your end of the world?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, that's cool that you like it 
I live on the edge of London, in the chavvy rough boring part, but soon as you get into the city I love it to bits. I can spend days just wandering around exploring and trying my very hardest not to look like a tourist. Which is difficult, because I wear a constant expression of awed confusion, and I especially like the touristy landmarks. Tra la laaaa~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most people are surprised to hear about the trees. Texas is pretty enormous, so it's got one part in the desert, one part in a forest, one part in the plains, and another on the beach.
Ah, the city! I'm really a city girl at heart. I have always wanted to visit London, eventually. Though, at this point, I've read so many books and seen so many shows that take place there, it's almost taken on a sort of mythical quality. It's like saying I'd like to visit Narnia, nobody over here takes you seriously. Doesn't matter if you can point to it on a map, London is a fictional place for Texans. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess that makes sense. I mean, technically I spose even in Britain we've got mountains dotted around. Except you don't really go up them, because they're COLD and not particularly special. Poor mountains. Ohh, definitely. I'd love to see fireflies.
I think everyone should visit London at some point. XD It is! IT'S NARNIA. With less talking animals. And the resident Queen is shorter and kind of less awesome. But yeahhh. I still spaz out on like 'Heeyyy it's Sherlock's house', and one time I found like a police call point and it looked like a miniature Tardis and I hugged it. I mean I suck, but it's an exciting place. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I will go to London, and I will bring a suitcase full of fireflies with me!
Dude. Sherlock's house. Tiny Tardises. If I wanna see a tiny Tardis in Texas, I have to make one out of paper. Which I have in fact done before.
And you do not suck. Or if you do, then I do just as much. A hug would totally be my reaction. You should have seen me the day I got my sonic screwdriver, I nearly made the whole neighborhood go deaf. And I still use it to open doors and such when I go to the store. Which, come to think of it, is probably why nobody ever wants to go to the store with me. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my god. Please do. Bring sonic too, I'd so totally go to the store with you. The possibilitiiieesss... :'D The kids I babysit have one, and we dress up and run round the house. I'm Rose. The fridge is a Dalek. How I manage to get paid to do that is completely beyond me. XD
How many people that live round you dyou know that are into Doctor Who etc? Are you rare? D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
People around me who know about Doctor Who...Well, my uncle gave me some tapes of the 2nd and 4th Doctors that he had recorded back in the day, and I fell in love a little bit. Since I got into it, I introduced it to my sister, who also loves it. And I also got one of my friends to watch it, but she's only ever seen the 11th so far. And that's everybody I know.
OH WAIT NO there is a girl who lives in my building who apparently knows about it because I overheard her say something to her boyfriend that our elevator (or what do you call them over there? Lifts? I like lift, it doesn't take as long to say) is getting old and has started making a wheezy noise like the Tardis every time it goes up or down. Which is true. On the one hand, I want them to fix it, because that might be dangerous, but on the other hand, I want it to sound that way forever.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, awesome. I still haven't got round to working through all the classic stuff, so hats off to you. I just found it because on BBC3 they show an episode every evening at about the time we have dinner, so every meal we'd all sit and watch it. And then I was ill for a week so I did nothing but watch series 2, 3 and 4. BLEW MY MIND.
Yeah, it's a lift here XD Or elevator, if you've just been watching something American on telly and it rubs off on you. That can happen. :') Ohh, bless it. Paint it all bluuueee. :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is, isnt' it?
Of the classics, I've only seen a little of Two and Four. I'm really a lot more familiar with Nine, Ten, and Eleven. And that sounds like a fun way to watch it! We get new episodes a lot later (the Christmas specials never get here until January, 
People stick bits of paper to our elevator all the time, so I'm seriously considering printing out little "windows" and such to make it more Tardis-y.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
:'D A cake that matches himmm! Ohh, I love how nerdy and awkward he is in interviews and that. It's so cute. I want to nom him.
Still more than me ^^ I've seen a bit of One and I've watched Ten and Eleven to death, but still not familiar with Nine yet. Someone's lent me the box set of series one though so that'll change 
Eheheheee, definitely. XD Put the POLICE BOX bit on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He is so adorable! Especially in interviews where he's with Karen, and they can't stop giggling.
Nine is quite wonderful. I was sad that he was only around for such a short time. But then again, TEN. XD I really love Ten. Oh, hell, I love all of them. If I had to pick my favorite, though, it would have to be Two. Just because of stuff like this: [link]
I think I heard something somewhere about how they were planning on making iPlayer available internationally. Which cannot happen soon enough.
I have a class to run to now, but when I get a moment, I need to tell you about the girl dressed as the Tardis and how a picture of me almost ended up on BBC America's Twitter account. It's quite a story.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahahahaaa, yess! X'D I completely love how close they are, in interviews anyway.
I've heard mixed reviews of Nine, but I reckon that since a load of negative opinions come from hardcore Ten fans, that's only to be expected XD I'll let you know what I think. Who dyou prefer, Eleven or Ten? I never thought I'd get over Ten but aaaaaaaaah. Eleveeennnnnnn.
That clip makes me want to watch every episode ever. Now.
Oooh, are you at university, or whatever the equivalent is over there? What're you studying?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooo, Ten or Eleven... I think I'd have to say Eleven, but it's really hard to compare the two, you know? I love them both to pieces.
I don't trust torrents either. I dislike breaking the law unless it's absolutely unavoidable. Also I'm a bit protective of my computer, I don't want him to get sick and die like my last one.
I am, and I love it! I'm studying history, as it is my goal in life to write a history textbook that is not completely boring to read. I've always loved history, but history teachers over here are usually just football coaches who need something to do in the off-season and don't care about teaching at all, so a good textbook is kind of essential.
Now, my story. I had the good fortune to go to San Diego Comic Con this summer, and part of the convention was the American premiere of The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang. So my friend Dani and I are waiting to get into the room where they're showing it, and we're talking to the people around us in line, when we see a girl dressed as the Tardis. She had a light on top of her head and her phone could make the Noise, it was really good. So we start talking to her, and all was cool. But about every three minutes or so, somebody would want to take a picture of her and her awesome costume. After a while, we all decided to have some fun with it, so whenever somebody would take a picture, we would all jump into the background and...behave childishly. XD Floating around somewhere is a photograph of me being strangled by a large man in a kilt, and somewhere else is one of my friend eating a banana in the messiest possible way...Anyway, this one man comes up and asks for a picture, so we all get ready to be ridiculous again. We get our best silly faces on, we wave our hands in the air, Kilt-Man starts dancing; it was truly a thing of beauty.
And then the guy with the camera says "Thanks, I work for BBC America, and they told me to get some pictures of the convention to show Steven, Matt and Karen, since they couldn't be here. We might post this picture online, too, is that okay?"
And that is the story of how I almost had a heart attack.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my God XDD Every part of that story is completely epic. Are the pictures online somewhere? I'd so love to get to the San Diego comic con, but it's a bit trickier from over here ;D Someday though. And I think dressing up is compulsory. Oooh, I'm actually wearing a bowtie today! [/nerd] ._.
That's a pretty awesome life goal too
I think I actually prefer Eleven... Ten's like MY Doctor (everyone has one...) but I dunno. If I go back and watch repeats of Ten, I always feel like something's missing. D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Going to San Diego Comic Con has been kind of the high point of my existence so far. I think all nerds should get to go, at least once. And there might be pictures online, I haven't seen them. I looked on BBC America, and they have a picture of her, but they cut us background-peoples out of it. I don't know if they cut us out for the picture they showed to the cast, though.
Oh, that teacher sounds fun. And eerily reminiscent of an English teacher I had once. When we read Julius Caesar, she told us we weren't being dramatic enough with the big death scenes, and so got up on her desk and acted them out herself.
I know what you mean exactly. Like, it's not that Ten was bad, by any means, it's just that now that we have Eleven, and Matt Smith has made the role his, so quickly, it's weird to watch other doctors, and I have put way too many commas into this sentence.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh, it sounds amazing. We have the MCM expo here, which I spose is like the baby version, and I keep meaning to go to that but always seem to be busy... in fact, it was on this Saturday! There was gonna be a BBC Sherlock dA meet-up as well, but I was away visiting my dad. Tra la laaa. Will just have to do San Diego. XD
I think most English teachers are just insane 
Yes, that's exactly it. I welcome the abundance of commas.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I should warn you, once you go, you will become obsessed with finding a way to go back.
I think it's just a requirement for English teachers that they must be completely insane. I once had a teacher who looked and acted exactly like Hitler, only he was shorter than most of the students (I was about 12 at the time). He made us read Great Expectations. I hated that book. Why must they make us read so many boring things? Books that are entertaining can have literary merit, too.
An overabundance of commas is a sure sign of a diseased mind. This must be what going mad feels like.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Doesn't sound all bad! Actually, I bet if you found enough like-minded people there, you could gather together and live on-site all year. And then it would never end. (Erm... don't think too hard about that... upon any kind of closer inspection, it starts looking like a Crap Plan.
Did he have the Hitler moustache? A friend of mine was winning at Risk, so she painted one on with mascara. It was genuinely scary... ohh, I liked the story of Great Expectations, and we got to watch the film
COMMA MADNESS. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
NEVERENDING CONVENTION. YES. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. I don't care how implausible it is, I want it.
He did in fact have the moustache. And he had this weird little dance he would do when he got irritated, where he would bounce up and down on the balls of his feet while his hands twitched. It was an interesting class.
Book spazzes unite! And yeah, I had no problem with the story of Great Expectations, I'm just not a huge fan of Dickens. He takes 500 words to say something that could have been said in 5. Film versions of his works tend to be alright, though. And I loved Lord of the Flies! I was the only one in my class who actually liked it, for some reason. Same thing happened when we read Hamlet and The Hound of the Baskervilles in Brit Lit. My fellow students had no taste. XD
If I ever start a band, we will be called Comma Madness. We will not be a very good band, because I have no musical talent, but we will at least have an amazing name.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It WOULD be epic. Instead of a regular wardrobe, it'd be a different costume for every day of the week. <3
AHAHAHAA, the only mental picture I have of your English teacher is Hitler... who is now doing the bouncy twitchy dance of annoyance. 'Hitler, Sir! The Japanese have been overthrown by the Americans!' *BOUNCY-TWITCH* '...Sir?'
YES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh God. I never even thought to make that connection. From now on, every time I think of Hitler, I will picture him doing the bouncy-dance. And considering I'm getting a degree in German history, I think I will get to enjoy that image quite a bit. XD That teacher was so easy to mock. His name was Mr.Bates, so of course we all referred to him as Master Bates when he wasn't around. We were 12, that was as classy as we got.
I wanted to beat Miss Havisham into glue and make arts and crafts with her. Unfortunately, I have not yet perfected the art of reaching into books and pulling characters out. But as soon as I do, Miss Havisham will regret ever opening her mouth.
We read some really good books (1984 and The Crucible spring to mind), but for every good one, there were four bad ones. I don't know how much you have to deal with American literature, but if anybody ever tries to make you read The Great Gatsby, kick them in the shins as hard as you can.
Comma Madness is gonna fly to the top of the charts. Wait, what kind of music do we do? Death metal? A capella? ...A capella death metal?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD I take pride in the knowledge that I have forever altered your image of Hitler. Ohh, poor man. :') If you have a name like that and you look like midget-Hitler, DON'T teach twelve year olds...
XD Bless her. She kinda burnt to death though, so. Tra la laaa. Yes, soon as you've mastered extracting characters from their rather two-dimensional page-worlds, do let me know. I would like to slap Zaphod Beeblebrox, tell Winston Smith it's alright and give him a hug, and befriend Sherlock Holmes. You should be careful with that talent, though... the One Ring could escape into the real world... or... Bella Swan- no. No, it doesn't bear thinking about. Do be careful.
Ohh, I keep meaning to read the Great Gatsby! XD It's one of my friend's favourite books. When I get round to it, I shall do so with an open mind.
Damn right. We shall do a capella death rap metal. But kinda dancey.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bella Swan in the real world. Ugh. Just the thought makes me shiver. At least she can be killed, what if Edward were real? Sneakin about in your room while you sleep, taking your car apart so that you can't escape...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who wanted to slap Zaphod in both of his faces. I would like to marry Arthur, I think. OH, SPEAKING OF THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY let me tell you about the Towel Day miracle. It was Towel Day, and so in honor of Douglas Adams I was gonna carry a towel around with me all day. My mother thought I was being an idiot, but she always thinks I'm being an idiot so that was nothing out of the ordinary. I kept trying to tell her how useful it could be to have a towel on hand, but she was just like, "Nothing is going to happen that requires a towel." And within an hour, my brother fell on something outside and busted his knee all up and Dear Mother was yelling "We need something to stop the bleeding!", and I yelled AHA AHA LOOK WHAT I GOT, MUTHAFUCKAH! And thus was the day saved by a towel.
The Great Gatsby is one of those books that I appreciate, but don't really like. I mean, I like what it has to say, and I'm glad I read it, but I'm never ever reading it again.
We should do the midget-Hitler dance while we sing. That will be our band's thing. We bouncy-dance.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True, Edward would be harder to... dispose of. But Bella. Oh my GOD. I genuinely believe that everything she's scripted to say in the films is carefully written so that any mentally disabled members of the audience can keep up with the plot. 'Edward... no, Edward... it's not safe! You're... a vampire! Jacob... I care about you. It isn't okay. Edward, don't, there might be fighting... there are werewolves!' D:
PLEASE SOMEONE, PLEASE HIT HER WITH A BRICK?
*ahem* Excuse me.
Oh yeah, good point, doubley punch for Zaphod. Though I would not turn down a Pangalactic Gargle Blaster, were it offered to me. XD AHHH!! I participated in Towel Day, but I never actually left my house, so that's highly uninteresting. However, you've proven the hypothesis superbly there! Was your brother okay? 
I understand totally. Like books when you read it to find out what happens in the plot, but as a reading experience it's just not enjoyable.
XD Definitely. Maybe we should dedicate songs to your teacher, Hitler and Commas In General.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bella makes me want to drown things. And it makes me sad, because most of the background characters actually interest me. I love lots of the characters in Twilight, it's just that none of them are named Edward, Bella, or Jacob, and unfortunately those are the only three that Stephenie Meyer is interested in. I read them way back before they were popular, and I thought they were kinda meh, but then suddenly they were everywhere and all these people loved them so much, and I just wanted to scream "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE, THIS SERIES IS MEDIOCRE AT BEST"
I had to go to the store with my towel, and people looked at me strangely. Of course, this was before I got my sonic screwdriver, so they had no idea what was to come. I am well known in my town as the weird one. And my brother was fine, he falls down a lot, so he's used to it. XD It was about two years ago, so he would have been...ten? Tennish? He thought my towel-dance was quite funny. My mom didn't so much, she was sort of "Give me that towel and stop swearing in front of your brother."
I need something new to read. I just finished rereading Harry Potter, and I'm halfway through The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, but once I'm done with that I won't have anything left.
"This song goes out to any midget-Hitlers in the audience! ONE TWO THREE FOUR~!" *dance*
Oh lordy, the guy next door is singing Lady Gaga songs at the top of his lungs. Guess I'll be listening to that for the next few hours.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh, I know! I really like a whole load of the other characters, but they don't really get explored. I mean, occasionally, they'll dip into one of the Cullen's past or tell a tribal werewolf story, to flesh it out a bit, but THAT'S NOT QUITE GOOD ENOUGH. I read them wayyy after everyone else, to see what the fuss was about, and just... meh... still haven't got round to the last book.
If you went with a towel AND a sonic screwdriver? You'd BLOW THEIR MINDS
XD There'll be one midget-Hitler at the back, shuffling awkwardly and trying not to cry of happiness. :')
I actually like Lady Gaga.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH MY GOD do you know what happens in the last book? The last one is so bad it's hilarious, you have to read it. Stephenie Meyer basically just went mad with power, the whole thing is a mess. I spent the entire book with an expression of pure "WTF?!"
I should do that. Go in with a towel, the sonic screwdriver, and my Firefly hat. Of course, I'd have to finish making my hat first, but still.
From now on, I shall refer to them as the "Girl Who Did Some Stuff" books. That is brilliant. And they are pretty good. Very Swedish. The titular Girl is my favorite character, she's basically if Sherlock as portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch were a small woman who dressed like a punk.
I love Lady Gaga, I just like her music best when it's performed by her. Not that Man Next Door doesn't have a nice voice, I just don't necessarily want his bad romance as much. XD What kind of music do I like...hold on, let me open Itunes and have a look...David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi, Scissor Sisters...a lot of soundtrack stuff, I've got music from Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, The Princess Bride...and some guilty pleasures include songs from Glee and stuff by 90's boy bands. You?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oohh, if I ever run out of books to read I'll take you up on that and give it a go. 'For the lols'. XD
I don't know what a firefly hat is. Are you about to hit me?
And, do you know, you just convinced me to read them, right there. I swear I've got such bad Sherlock withdrawal, and they only gave us three hits XD at this point I am willing to try anything that looks similar. I am... a cocaine addict snorting sherbet.
XD I actually WORSHIP David Bowie, so that's wonderful. I could talk about him forever, so please stop me. Soundtrack music's amazing, it's just written to evoke emotion, which I think is why I love it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do it. DOITDOITDOIT It's so funny.
Now I want to draw a ninja duck. XD Firefly is one of my favorite tv shows, but it unfortunately only lasted for 13 episodes before being cancelled. It's a science-fiction show, and in one episode one of the most grizzled and manly characters wears an orange fuzzy hat because his mother knitted it for him. And I'm trying to teach myself to knit so that I can make one. Because I am a nerd.
I am in such withdrawal. From Sherlock and Doctor Who. Because freakin' Stephen Moffat likes to keep us all in suspense. Damn him. And he said in an interview that the next three episodes of Sherlock would involve "Adler, Hound, and Reichenbach." Which sent me into a near panic. But yes, they are definitely worth a read.
David Bowie is amazing. I only started listening to him because Labyrinth was one of my favorite films as a child, and now I can't stop. Heavy metal is awesome too. I think that, musically, the 80s are my favorite decade. I don't really have a specific genre that I listen to, I like a little bit of everything, you know? I don't actually own very many complete albums, I just kind of take a few songs here and there from various places.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't even get me STARTED on Doctor Who withdrawal *scrabbles at the desk like panicked retard*. I've taken to wearing bowties. Because I, too, am a nerd. Oh my god. No wayy! Where was this interview? I'd love to see the 21st century take on Adler. <3 Wonderful.
Aww, I never saw Labyrinth as a kid! I fell in love with Bowie after, to cut a long story short, I was stuck on my own in a car overnight (FREEZING) with nothing but the Sound & Vision 4 CD set to keep me company. I resolved to work through the whole thing and by morning it had BLOWN MY MIND
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, 13 episodes and a film. Which is actually very good, ties up some loose ends from the show. And yeah, I feel like I should see Lost, just because it was such a big thing, but it's SOOOO LOOOONNNNGGGG.
At least you'll get new Who before I will. Stupid BBC America...well, unless I get it off the Internet, which is totally illegal and wrong and I would never ever ever do such a thing *wink*. I still need to get a bowtie. I also want a trenchcoat of the Captain Jack variety. I love his coat. And YESSS YESS ADLER I WANT TO SEEEEEE. XD I'm afraid I don't remember where the interview was, it was a while ago. If they actually kill Sherlock in the end, I will cry manly tears of sadness. Every time I read Sherlock's letter to John at the end of The Final Problem I go to pieces, so imagine what I'd do if I actually saw it on my screen.
Labyrinth gave me nightmares, but I kept watching it anyway. And why on earth were you spending the night in a freezing car?! There is a story there, I know it! Give me some context, woman. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A film too! Even better! By the time I've seen all 13 I'll probably be very grateful for that.
Ehehehee. I watch so much online; it's a miracle my computer's virus free :') OH MY GOD, the coat. Yesss. I'd love a Ten coat, but seeing as the real thing was specially made out of the fabric from an old sofa (or so the legend goes), it'd be a bit tricky to come by.
I hope Adler's kickass. She will be. She has to be. And if they kill Sherlock I'll be HEARTBROKEN and join you sobbing into a cushion somewhere. But I'm still midway through the various written works, so 
I was babysitting this spoilt brat kid a few weeks back and she insisted we watch Labyrinth (didn't put up much of a fight there, I must say)... which was fine, only I had to send her to bed halfway through so she had a Tantrum and it was HELL and she wouldn't stop SCREAMING. And then she ran upstairs and punched her baby sister, so the baby was screaming, and THE SCREAMMINNGG, and I got upstairs and I yelled 'IF YOU DON'T GET INTO BED AND STAY QUIET THIS INSTANT, I'LL CALL THE GOBLIN KING'.
And she went deadly. fucking. silent. So did the baby! But I think that was luck.
And when I got downstairs I did a triumphant little dance.
Ohh, the car... we were camping and we'd forgotten my bed. And the air pump. And the stove. And the mallet... almost everything, actually. I called the car because I thought it might be warmer (logic fail) and someone accidentally locked me in and then, I suppose, they fell asleep on the car keys.

That's actually part of how my last computer died. 
Adler better be amazing. I think she will be. I trust the writers. And if they were smart enough to cast Hubert Cumberdale or whatever his name is as Sherlock, I think they'll find a great Irene Adler. And don't worry, he doesn't stay dead. He pretends to be dead for a few years, shows back up at Baker Street (where John faints at the sight of him), and eventually retires to the countryside to keep bees. Because you know how much he loves bees.
That child sounds terrible. I hate babysitting spoiled brats. I once had to watch one of those picky-eater-kids, the ones who will only eat one food and only when it is prepared just so and it must be on this special plate and why cant you just do it like daddy does it, NO IT DOESN'T TASTE THE SAME I HATE YOU I WANT YOU TO LLEEEEEAAAAVE, and then when you finally get it done to their satisfaction they eat two bites of it and then run off. If I'd tried that when I was a kid, my mother would have snatched all the hair off my head. Brats.
Now, see, this is what happens when you go camping. Trying to spend any amount of time in the Great Outdoors only leads to heartbreak and mysterious rashes. This is why I stay firmly within the confines of civilization (except when there's fireflies out, I fuckin' LOVE those things).

That's kinda awesome. What did you do with it after? I have a creepy love for animal skeletons; I swear if I found a dead mouse I'd want to somehow get the skeleton out and have a poke around. They're just fascinating.
I love how we all totally trust Moffat, despite the psychological torture he puts us through. X'D My brother called him Hubert Cumberdale as well the other day!! And I couldn't stop laughing, cos that's the guy from Salad Fingers who gets stuck in the oven, or something-like-that. XD That or he bleeds to death bashing his head open on the door frame. Ugghhsekjbn;kajdb I think Salad Fingers scarred me for life; my brother likes to impersonate him when I'm feeling on edge just cos he's... evil like that.
SHERLOCK IS JESUS! And John is... pahaha, fainting.
Oh, and covered in bees. We've so been here before. XD
Ugh, that sounds like a rather horrible child... millions of sympathies. I just babysit because it's easy work for me; for a bunch of reasons it's impossible to get a more permanent job D: it's not so bad though; the kids I mainly look after are the ones with the sonic screwdriver who I run round the house with.
A good policy
