Countdown from 100,000

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.587 times we would not give up the fight so easily.  (maybe we're a slightly OCD version of insane)

[Van Buren Supernova]

98.586 giant teddy bears to distract his inner BC.

 

(NOW imagine 98,5k mistletoes, 98,5k giant teddy bears, and us in the room trying to get Sherlock.)

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.585 times Mycroft secretly helps with our plot to get back at his little brother for something or other that Sherlock did.

[Inge l-w]

98,584 times the cake-loving minor official would not be agile enough to help you trap his little brother! Legwork out of the question.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.583 times Mycroft doesn't do the actual legwork, he just makes the appropriate calls so that it can happen.

[Inge l-w]

98,582 times Sherlock has had to elude Mycroft's machinations, eluding a mistletoe and three rabid fans would be child's play!

[Van Buren Supernova]

98.581 snowflakes in the forum.

 

(We may be rabid, but not without brains.

Some sample strategies to hold him for 9 seconds (rabid but not greedy, 3 seconds each guys :

- Put a ready to play Cluedo set-up.

- Paste crime in progress, please disturb somewhere in the house

- Arrange a chess board that has one subtle-non obvious but deadly checkmate move

- Hide cigarettes

- Tell him London cabs are on strike and there are astronomy-themed parades on the street outside

- Challenging him to a brainteaser game by calling him an idiot.)

If all else fail, maybe correcting my grammar would make him stay.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.580 times we try all of the above suggestions plus ask him about his latest experiments.

[Van Buren Supernova]

98.579 times John dreaded Christmas in Sherlock's house until he attended one.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.578 times he realized the dread was accurate after attending that particular Christmas.

[Arcadia]

 (maybe we're a slightly OCD version of insane)

Maybe?!?!!???!

 

98577 copies of my will have been distributed. I'm ready.

[Van Buren Supernova]

98.576 times I wonder why Arcadia needs will.

 

(Are you worried about his Japanese ba..ba..euh..baritsu?

But he is a gentleman, he wouldn't hurt us :P)

[Arcadia]

98575 times Moftiss have tried to convince us Sherlock is a dangerous man, so I'm taking out risk insurance too. :p

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.574 times Mycroft suggest all recommended insurance type coverage for our attempt of Mistletoe & Sherlock with the price that will need to be paid per person while offering to hold a copy of our wills & various policies just in case.

[Van Buren Supernova]

98.573 times I start to believe 9 seconds is probably not worth all these troubles and aim for 24 hours goal instead.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.572 times we take as long as we can get with this Sherlock thing wishing for 24 hours while realizing we'll be lucky to get 9 seconds.

[Ruthyone]

98,571 times wondering how many sleeps to the Sherlock Special........

98.567 Christmases that must pass before Mrs. Holmes will allow Wiggins in her house again.

[Van Buren Supernova]

98.566 times yet he insists to her that he will inherit Sherlock's money and job.

98.565 times that's the other reason why Mrs. Holmes won't let Wiggins back into her house.
