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

[Carol the Dabbler]

Oh -- right!  :D  I knew I'd seen that somewhere in Conan Doyle's stories.

Now I'm starting The Musgrave Ritual and I'm marking the book like crazy!  Lifted bits all over the beginning of that one including for ASIP, TGG and even TSOT.  Things practically jump off the page at you if you know your SHERLOCK really well.

 

Since I am so early into reading the stories, I may start cataloging these bits.

Dear sfmpco, be careful it doesn't drive you crazy! The whole show is littered with golden breadcrumbs from ACD and a lot of his contemporary Strand contributors. Welcome to the game of discovering them!

You know your Sherlock obsession is bad when you brave the horrors that is using the monile version of this site just to let the people here that you're still alive

Dear Bendyboodle, I also have an iPhone, took a look at Tapatalk rules and conditions and walked away. You can still access the forum from Safari and a good wi-fi connection.

... you look at your kitchen and think Sherlock would feel at home right away. 

[Carol the Dabbler]

Sounds like my kitchen.  :o

[J.P.]

Oh, maybe I should leave it like this - and call it Baker Street Shabby Chick.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

My house just about fits the main part if Sherlock's flat. The exception is my bedroom as it fits the main part of the flat for chaos not the pristine of Sherlock's room.

[T.o.b.y]

... when you think of Mycroft every time you use an exercise machine.

 

(By the way, that is the most human trait in him that I have noticed - how sensitive he is about his weight. And he's not even fat. It's kind of fun to see a male character be like that for a change.)

[Carol the Dabbler]

I have the impression that Mycroft is fairly vain in general, not just about his weight.  Would be interesting to see how he dresses when he's neither working nor working out.

 

[Arcadia]

Pretty much the same way he dressed at Christmas, I'm guessing. :p Sherlock's just as bad....

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Only Sherlock will wear a hoodie and sweat pants for a case where as Mycroft wouldn't do that sort of legwork.

Yeah, his idea of "slumming" seems to involve wearing an officer's uniform.  :P  (As in the Serbian scene for "The Empty Hearse.")

And only because England needed Sherlock who was not in the country at the time.

I'm afraid it's getting worse...

You are sure your obsession is running away with you when you browse through your account in Amazon.de looking for Rumpole material and incongruously the Benedict Cumberbatch biography crops up among all the Mortimer-Mc Kern stuff and you put it on your wish list. Why not in your basket? Well, the best answer was probably given by the Honourable Gwendolen Fairfax in 1895: "I wish you were fully forty-two, and more than usually plain for your age." A biography at thirty-odd is quite a feat by any standards! To the best of my knowledge, only Alexander the Great achieved something similar, certainly not Caesar.

I bought the Lynette Porter one(?). The first...

I did start reading it but won't bother now...

What's the point when it's pre wife and child?

[SherlockedCAMPer]

I know a guy at who 33 had his autobiography written, but he had been through a lot up to that point so it made at least some sense (and I've read it multiple times in the last 4 years, both editions).

 

 

So now to the Sherlock obsession bit that I happened upon.  Watching the 1999 version of Thomas Crown Affair and noticed the beloved "Sinner Man" playing for a bit as Pierce Brosnan was walking into the art museum.

[J.P.]

...when you consider the word "bored" threatening.

 

Because being bored makes you do more ridiculous things:

 

 

 

like trying to integrate the ugly Navarre wallpaper into my room without too much effort and hurt to my eyes.

 

The prospect of at least a year of waiting makes me worry - about my vacant brain and what else it might cough up.

[besleybean]

Cool.

[sfmpco]

I like it!  Very artistic!

[J.P.]

Thanks! Sadly it looks much better on a photo then in RL. You need a 3D effect if you want to make a mirror illusion.

What about a PJs with Puh the Bear and bear paw slippers? Thinking about photoshopping this... Yeah, the obsession is really bad...

Yes, please do.  I would love to see how that turns out.
