Slash/I Didn't Mean To Turn You On Jeremy Brett

SLASH "I had seen little of Holmes...Holmes,who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained at our lodgings in Baker Street...alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition.
One night... my way led me through Baker Street..I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again... I slept at Baker Street that night ..." 'A Scandal in Bohemia'

@StoneSkinGilgamesh Oh, I couldn't agree more...on both counts! lol!

[StoneSkinGilgamesh]

Forgive me, I meant ignorance, not idiocy.

[StoneSkinGilgamesh]

@ImHolmesick I agree one hundred percent on there being more going on around us than we can see...To say otherwise is sheer idiocy. Even a scientific-minded friend of mine said that while he didn't think one's spirit itself actually gets trapped here, the energy and/or emotional imprint in a certain house/area emitted from people at the time of their death, if intense enough, can influence how the energy in the house/area behaves. That is actually the clearest I've ever heard anyone explain it.

@StoneSkinGilgamesh Sir Arthur was very deeply involved in Spiritualism and heavily financed the movement. I have to agree that" there are more things in Heaven and Earth(Horatio), than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Too many things can't be explained away so easily.

@StoneSkinGilgamesh Good luck with converting to DVD! I hope your children and future grandchildren appreciate all you have endured with the blue buggers.

[StoneSkinGilgamesh]

@ImHolmesick As to the Smurfs: I say I'll throw them out, but then I got to thinking: my future grandchildren may want to watch them. Plus, I'll admit I still find the buggers cute sometimes (I had to find a way to make DVDs though, or else the gremlins would have destroyed the cassettes with how often they like to play the things. The girl tried shoving it in the player herself once...the wrong way of course. She thought I was a techno-genius for getting it to work when she couldn't XD)

@ImHolmesick Doyle was interested in the paranormal? Wow, I knew I liked him for another reason than his literature...I admit from time to time, I think about how much space there is in the universe for us to be the only living, intelligent beings in it. Thing is, when I see people looking for proof of their existence, I tell them the surest sign there IS intelligent life out there is the fact they haven't tried contacting us, considering we're blowing ourselves up daily like the monkeys we are.

@StoneSkinGilgamesh Poor little smurfs! lol! It's not their fault they are so loveable. You never know, they might be of some value some day. I can see you watching " The Antiques Roadshow" and seeing a smurf go for hundreds of dollars and saying " And I threw them all away!" lol! Nah, impossible!

[ImHolmesick]

@StoneSkinGilgamesh At the Doyle home, the words " Sherlock Holmes" were forbidden to be spoken, ever! That's how much antipathy he had toward the character that became synonomous with his name. He only brought him back,three years later, due to the outcry of the public and the fact that an American publishing company offered him huge sums of money(at the time) to write more stories. Doyle needed the cash to finance his interest in the paranormal...mediumship and the like.

[ImHolmesick]

@StoneSkinGilgamesh You are absolutely right... and then compound that by the fact that Doyle despised Sherlock Holmes, and it's no wonder he said what he did. Sir Arthur wrote Holmes stories purely for financial gain. He wanted to be known by his other more scholarly works..which ironically no one remembers. When he had Holmes plunge to his death in the Final Problem he wrote in his Journal for that day only one line..."Killed Holmes". He thought he was rid of him forever.
