Krista and I have thought of the cast for this beautiful series
- Genderswap: Carice van Houten is Sherlock Holmes
- Something else than genderswap: Everyone’s favourite dog Samson is John Watson
- Sort-of genderswap: Armand will be our Lestrade
- Najib Amhali shall be Gregson, because he’s awesome.
- Sesame Street’s Hakim will be our James Moriarty
- His best mate, Sebastian Moran, is Aart Staartjes (super-BAMF)
- We’ve cast Valerio Zeno as Igor Adler
- Meneer de Burgemeester (Samson&Gert) is Mycroft Holmes
- Rapper Willie Wartaal will be Mrs. Hudson (because he looks so very cuddly)
- And Theo Maassen is every minor character ever, because Krista needs her Theo Maassen
With episodes:
- Een studie in kaas (A study in cheese)
- De blinde boer (The blind farmer)
- Het grote ganzenbordspel (The great ganzenbordspel)
- Een schandaal in Purmerend (A scandal in Purmerend)
- De koe van de Baskervilles (The cow of the Baskervilles)
- De Euromast val (The Euromast Fall)
Completely and utterly serious.
Why Purmerend?
I want this.

Ok, folks, it was very, VERY hard, but in the end I GOT IT! I know how Sherlock survived the fall!
Brace yourself, because this is a mind-blowing, SCIENTIFIC explanation.
We have to start by considering two indisputable laws of physics:
1) Murphy’s Law / Finagle’s corollary:
‘If something can go wrong, it will’ therefore ‘If you throw a slice of buttered toast into the air it will always fall with the buttered side down.’2) Cat’s conservation law:
‘A Cat will always land on its foots.’SO, what would happen if we stick a slice of toast with butter to a cat’s back and we throw it to the air? The cat, by law, will land on its feet, but the toast (by law too) will land on the butter’s side. Against this problem of physics laws, the nature chooses the best way of taking a solution: the cat may just not fall.
The cat with the toast, once it’s free in the air, will float at its cat-toast equilibrium point, where butter repulsion forces and cat forces are in balance. This point can be adjusted by removing some butter from the toast, adding it, or cutting some hairs (or legs) from the cat. In theory, this will cause the cat to remain stationary, however, in reality, due to varied nature of gravity and the non-uniform profile of Earth, the cat will simply spin around its center of gravity at ever-increasing speed.
So, all Sherlock had to do was to make and wear a harness specifically designed (and he IS a genius: how long could it have taken him to develop such a simple device?) to keep a cat on his front and a buttered toast (with the butter on top, of course) on his back: et voilà!
Then, at about 1 m from the ground, he had only to unfasten the harness and gracefully fall on the pavement, placing himself in the most convenient position.
I greatly encourage all London sherlockians to watch the sky in search of the spinning cat: as it should be still attached to the buttered toast, it should be also still flying around…
THIS will be CONCLUSIVE proof.

Ladies and Gentlemen, science at work.
Reichenbach: conclusively solved.
That moment when the wildlife expert said:

“The two main differences between a lizard and a snake are that the lizard has external ears and eyelids and the snake doesn’t”
and I just wondered if the expert ever played ‘Spot The Differences’…
Not to mention a lizard…
Yeah, but the moment you are faced with a snake shaped creature the lack of legs is no indication you are actually dealing with a snake. Not that it matters much, but should you want to know if it the snake shaped creature is a snake you have to look at its ears and eyes.
or just walk away and leave it in peace. :P
“Hello, probably-lethal-and-legless-animal-that-looks-like-a-whole-lot-like-a-snake! Lemme just come close to you so I can check your ears and eyes to see if you really are a snake and not just a legless lizard! Please don’t attack me while I do!”
I think I will go for option B and just get away from there. :P
Whaaaaaaaat? :P

That’s what I thought! But it turns out it is not that important…

I felt something of a secret agent when I opened the yellow envelop that I had received all the way from America and read the wonderful card (that will go on ‘The Wall of Tumblr Cards’) that came with it.
“Use it wisely!”
the last sentence read, but instead of meaning some unnoticeable poison or a gadget-filled watch, it was referring to seven whole packages to Kool Aid. Let me repeat: Koooool Aaaaaid! Oh yeah, and the sentence ended with a huge smiley and I doubt a secret organization would use cute smilies, unless it were some kind of code…
So no secret undercover mission for me, I’m afraid, but instead a lot of dyeing yarn! :D Thanks again, Justteaformethanks. I’m sure I will be able to make something awesome out of this and I will try to ‘use it wisely’ (since I’ve learned a lot from first time)!
I will report back to you when the mission is completed.Agent Snan out.
AHAHAHAHA
Yay! I’m glad it made it to you so quickly. *HUGS*
I’m now going to picture you plotting out your yarn dyeing mission with maps, charts, and crayons. It pleases me :)
*snort*
WHAT?!
THE OH-SO-SECRET MISSION ISN’T SECRET ANY MORE! THE SHEEP HAS DROWNED! I REPEAT: THE SHEEP HAS DROWNED! (That’s code for: ‘crap, we’re discovered. run.’)
*hides crayons behind back, slides maps and charts behind the desk*

CHILDHOOD RIGHT THERE.
When I was on holiday in Australia as a kid this show used to...

We’re surprised, too, Merlin.
and this, ladies and … ladies … is why I freaking love my work place.
This happened yesterday. above the toilet. the cleaners left it there over...
