And Something Good Happened, and Kat Saw That It Was Good, and She Did Bless It, Yea Verily
Phew.
Well, that is a relief.
It is my opinion, for the record, that pretty girls should have to answer their emails promptly, as otherwise unecessary pain is caused.
I felt like the guy in the T-Mobile commercial about dropped calls for a second there. "Baby? I am the only man in your life, right?"
But you know what? IT IS ALL OK. Why? BECAUSE SHERLOCK HOLMES IN THE 22ND CENTURY HAS MADE MY LIFE COMPLETE.
Watch and be amaaaazed.
Inspector G. Lestrade (whose first name I had always assumed was Gandalf) is now a woman, Holmes looks Aryan enough to be a member of Hitler Youth, and Watson is (WTF) a robot. And Moriarty has tragic sideburns. And looks like a monkey. And Jabez Wilson runs a fish and chips and virtual reality shop. And and and. OMG. It makes me so happy.
Like I said, it completes my life.
Best dialogue ever:
HitlerYouth!Holmes: I'll have fish and chips. In. . .Peking.
EvilCook: That's Beijing, dumbass.
Holmes: Oh, really? For how long?
I FIND THIS JOKE VERY FUNNY. DO NOT MOCK MY HISTORY NERDINESS OR I SHALL PWN YOU WITH MY KNOWLEDGE OF NINETEENTH CENTURY GAY SEXUAL PRACTICES.
Fear me.
Grrrr.
In case you can't tell, I am supremely bored.

I have such lazy and useless friends that I must devirginize my own blog posts.
Where ARE my minions?
A) Since when are "Brave New World" and "1984" geek novels? And
B) I remember watching 22nd Century Holmes on Saturday mornings when I was really bored sometimes!!
A) Since The Guardian decided they were, I guess. And
B) SH22 has eaten my soul. It's diabolical that way.
I was just about to mention, that at what point between now and the 22nd century did London lose The Guardian and most of its British-accented population? And at what point in 1999 did people stop trying to improve computers?
Hey, you can convert your blog to the new kind now.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
what's the new kind?
Yeah, should have done that forever ago. . .I believe my laziness has been mentioned.
I'm curious as to why no one finds Holmes and Robot Watson's 19th century clothes odd.
My word verification is sxypy.
BEST. WORD. VERIFICATION. EVAR.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As some can attest, mine started with a bang (Mentos + Coke = BANG!)
Ditto what Mr. Dragon said :).
I win at having no life on New Year's Eve. I was watching Sherlock Holmes TV episodes. Wait, it gets better. Sherlock Holmes TV episodes - in Russian.
Why do you want to watch
Digimon? Well, you don't, really. But check the credit of this particular episode at about 1:40 into it :).
HAHAHA NO WAY. Oh God, that's too good. Is it the same one?
HAHA! Every time I think I have Mr. R figured out. . .
Geez.
And the plot thickens. . .
*pats Ben* Nice to see you're as snarky as ever. No, really, I mean it, wouldn't have you any other way.
Ladies and gentlemen, androgynes of all ages, I present to you, pr0n with Byron, Shelley, and Lake Geneva. Because Shelley was sleeping with everyone but Mary.
I think by divine intervention, my internet cut out just as I clicked that link. It's back up, but I'm not gonna go there again.
Okay, so Mr. R spells his name "Stephen." He is credited in Digimon as "Steve."
However, there are two IMDb profiles: one for "Steve" (of Digimon fame) and one of "Stephen" (of Reefer Madness 2 fame). Are they the same person? Are they our Mr. R? And who's idea was it to make Reefer Madness 2?
