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

[sfmpco]

I haven't really gotten into the blue ray thing because I haven't got a blue ray player, but I am looking into one of these....

I do have steelbook edition of STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS.  That's the only steelbook I have, and I doubt I'll get too many of those, but when the seller dropped his price, I jumped on it like a cat on catnip.

When you still find this funny:

 

[joanneta1]

Oh, wow! A respectably married gentleman should not be seen flirting with mysterious, good-looking strangers right outside the Wellington Barracks, unless he is playing a role, again!  

[J.P.]

Which one do you mean? :P

[joanneta1]

Dear J.P., a big hug for you! Last time I checked, Sherlock took things so far as proposing to Janine, fully intending to ditch her later, so there is only one left, on the left-hand side of the bench.

[J.P.]

Ooops... 

[Carol the Dabbler]

Why? If you have the complete short stories and the complete novels from Chancellor Press or the Annotated Edition, the only new thing in these would be the forewords, which is recycled material from things both scriptwriter's have said in the Casebook and in the Chronicles. Would it not be better to save your money for the eventual DVDs of new material?

 

My other two "collections" are the Baring-Gould annotated (in two hefty volumes) and an incomplete ragtag assortment of individual novels and collections.  For whatever reason, when I'm wanting to just read a story, I really don't enjoy the B-G, which used to leave me with the ragtag assortment.  It's just really nice to have a decent-quality, lightweight (good for reading in bed) set of matching volumes.

 

By the way, dear Carol, Sherlockedcamper and sfmpco, the Memoirs and The Valley of Fear are missing from that collection!

 

Oops!  I do have The Memoirs, but need to add Valley of Fear to my "hope they print it" list.

[J.P.]

... when you watch Lars Mikkelsen in "The Team" as a good guy and don't believe him a bit.

[sfmpco]

...when you purchase of copy of HLV - the one that was sent around for Emmy consideration just because it says that on the cover!!

[SherlockedCAMPer]

When you see dictionary.com's word of the day, magniloquent, and the first thing you think of is Sherlock.

[J.P.]

When you always read Word Assasination instead of Word Associacion.

Well, maybe I just need new glasses.

When you dream you're waiting in line for -- something -- and Benedict Cumberbatch strolls by and starts chatting with you. Just you.

You mean Martin Freeman never visits your local supermarket?

 

[Arcadia]

I'll let you know after I wake up. ;)

[Julia Mae again]

But haven't we all seen mystery programs where someone's iron-clad alibi turns out to be false?  And in reply to this alibi scenario that I never addressed in that other thread,

 

If I was sitting in a movie holding hands with Fred for two hours and someone swears they saw Fred shoot some store clerk across town during that time, I know it's impossible for Fred to have done the shooting.

 

... yes, that proves to your satisfaction that Fred is innocent.  Your testimony may even hold up in a court of law.  But if there's an otherwise-strong case against Fred, I wouldn't blame a cop or district attorney for suspecting that you're lying.  And even if you're telling the truth as you know it, it's possible that you nodded off for a little while in the theater, during which time Fred snuck out and shot the clerk.

 

SRSLY, you decided to answer me years after I left the forum?

[Carol the Dabbler]

SRSLY, you decided to answer me years after I left the forum?

 

Well, it got your attention, didn't it?  ;)  Actually, I wasn't so much answering you as using your post as an example of common sense vs. my theoretical scenario.

 

Glad it worked, though -- welcome back, Julia Mae! 

 

[sfmpco]

Well, got the Sherlock Emmy consideration DVD of HLV today - It was submitted for 15 different categories and won 7 of them.

When you see the newest Hairspray Commercial as very Sherlock-y (the plane, the LOGO!)

 

When you frequent this thread much too often.

Wow. No kidding!

 

When you frequent this thread much too often.

 

Er ...  how often is too often?

 Yep, very Sherlocky.

 

I just keep a tab open all day...

Jenny, you're worse than me ;)  I at least close down the tab on occasion during the day...however there are times I'm on my phone on here while also on here with my laptop...so maybe that makes me worse...hmmm

 

Yeah, I'm just slightly obsessed (as I have S1 soundtrack on my bed needing to be brought over to my parents' to be properly wrapped for my birthday coming up before I put it on my computer).

[J.P.]

The funny thing - I know the brand for ages, and even have some products at home. But somehow the plane which reminded me of the final scene of 3.3 made me also realize that the logo has ,,, well, a certain resemblance.

 

The next thing I was thinking of was a mock-up of an ad - but somehow I cannot find proper wording.

3-Weather-Taft will keep your Curly Mop in a perfect shape no matter how high the building... hmm...  not really.

[sfmpco]

Well, there is the jet in 3.3 but there's also the jumbo jet in 2.1...

[joanneta1]

 ... when you order The Imitation Game right alongside your second copy of the complete Jeremy Brett series, and you already own the Imitation Game courtesy of the Weinstein Company!

Honestly, Botonand Arcadia might understand: in IELTS (two new classes, mornings and evenings, and a GRE ) you use "Are you paying attention", with any tag question at the end, and figuratively hug it to your inmost thoughts or pat yourself in the back, because your tone of voice needs to command their attention, but you can hear Benedict speaking, clearly enunciating every syllable! In class he  has become invaluable, I am just like Golum, he is MY precious for the duration, may God bless him!

Your son has an idea for a reality show that would be called 9 minutes of extreme waiting. 1 of the episodes would show Sherlock sitting in a chair bored stiff trying not to shoot any wall or take anyone out in any way he's capable of. He would be fidgety while in that chair.
