You know your "Sherlock" obsession is bad when...

[Arcadia]

Always ready to help... :p

 

 

You know you're obsessed when you drive over Holmes Creek and wish you had your camera with you so you could take a picture of it and post it here.

[T.o.b.y]

...when you take pictures of grave stones with the name "Holmes" on them.

When you ride beside road shoulder and have silly grin in your face because it's written SH.

[greencat1999]

When you see an otter or a hedgehog (or even better, both,) and cannot help thinking of two particular actors...

[Arcadia]

When you ride beside road shoulder and have silly grin in your face because it's written SH.

??? -- Ignorant American needs explanation, please! :d  SH is for...?

[Carol the Dabbler]

Maybe "SHoulder"?     (Just a guess from another ignorant American.)

[Van Buren Supernova]

Oh, all the time I thought it stands for Shoulder, as it is always written at the road shoulder, but I don't have any fact to back me up.

 

You mean.. you mean.. it is possible that it really stands for Sherlock Holmes????

[Arcadia]

Anything's possible! :p

… when you read all 98 pages here about Sherlock obsession, but still can add something.

… when you wonder what Sherlock would deduce about you when he would meet you. I guess I do that too often, trying to figure something out. But it's difficult to imagine what exact details he would observe while he is looking at me. Then I wonder if I would like to hear what he would say. I don't know, but at least I think it would be interesting.

… when you can find a connection with Sherlock for abbreviations that mean something totally different in the context you are currently reading. For example I had to read a questionnaire many times that included the abbreviation TBB. The first thing I thought about was The Blind Banker. Every time. Although I knew better after looking it up after I first read it and didn't know what it means in that context.

That works as well with license plates of cars. I have often seen SH or MH or similar ones.

… when you watch Interview with the Vampire and understand Lestrade instead of Lestat.

When you read the name Jennifer Wilson in a news article and immediately think of ASIP.

[Cumbercowley]

When you will watch literally anything that has Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in

[sfmpco]

When you have your friend in Scotland pick up for you 5 copies of the lastest Radio Times with Sherlock on the cover... but only one copy of the TV & Satelite mag.  There's only so far you can go.

[sfmpco]

When you think about purchasing a Russell Hobbs glass kettle simply because Sherlock has one...

[Van Buren Supernova]

Saw a house with a green ladder.

I think they have to arrest the brother.

[J.P.]

[J.P.]

I think even my new tablet is obsessed. Its voice recognition recognizes words like Sherlock and Mycroft

[sfmpco]

My phone keeps autocorrecting Sherlock to SHERLOCK.  I don't know why.  It's annoying.

[Arcadia]

When you learn Harrison Ford is also obsessed with Sherlock and it makes you so happy.....

[Van Buren Supernova]

I don't really like Harrison Ford, but anyone who is obsessed with Sherlock is immediately qualified as friend... XD

[sfmpco]

When you order three Sherlock-themed decorative pillow covers from China ($5 each with free shipping - if you want a link to the seller, let me know), and when they arrive it's like Christmas!

[J.P.]

... when you see a truck on the highway with the writing: "We ship by air, sea and road" (or something like that) and start to grin stupidly.

   I'm missing something here!

[J.P.]

The shipping, Ducky. The shipping. :D

 

You see how much I am obsessed?

[joanneta1]

Latest s h I p p i n g is otterlock, anything weird about that? And could everyone please refer to our esteemed moderator by name or amphibian equivalent? "Ducky" is rather common, in my opinion. Our moderators work d@#!@#*"@ hard at keeping this forum running smoothly, a bit of common courtesy goes a long way, nicht wahr?

[Carol the Dabbler]

Hey, "Ducky" is just ducky in my opinion!  And so is "amphibian princess" -- though I've never understood how I got to be a frog!

 

But y'all can still call me Carol if you like (even though my proper title would be "Your Esteemed Moderatorship").
