Hi. Welcome to my tumblr. I am an unrepentant anglophile & Sherlock Holmes fan since age 10. My tumblr will probably be a generalized mess. I am the author of Sherlock Holmes pastiches published by MX Publishing.
my favorite part about elementary is when sherlock starts to get out of control and joan just throws her hands up and just yells, “that’s it, go to the car!” or gives him money to the vending machine. and then you expect him to just brush it off and keep yelling, but then the scene cuts to him sulking by the car moodily or munching on a bag of cookies in the hallway dejectedly.

A hiker, clearly shaken, enters a remote English village pub, his clothes all torn and he's full of scratches.
"You won't believe this," he says to the bartender. "I was attacked by a leopard!"
"Really?"
"Yes! A leopard! In England!" The hiker sits down and orders the strongest liquor they've got. "I tried to run, but it was if course much faster than me."
The hiker gets his glass, empties it, and asks for another. "It sent me to the ground with a mighty push from its paws, but weirdly enough it then just gave me a really sad look and left."
"Ah, you met Father Andrews," the bartender says, matter-of-factly.
"What do you mean?" asks the tourist, confused.
"Father Andrews was our priest. A truly kind-hearted man, loved by all. His only goal in life was to serve his congregation as well as he could. So when he one day found a lamp with a genie, his very first wish was to be a loving shepherd to the community."
"That's nice "
"Absolutely, if only he hadn't been so prone to spoonerisms."
somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

Lestrade shrugged. “We are investigating several cases of probable murder. I don’t really care if we get help from someone who claims to be in touch with the Archangel Gabriel, so long as the information is good.”
