Maybe if he had a noose on, and was on a mare, and the mare only had two legs, he would be hanged?
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe after they yank the horse out from underneath you and your legs kick it looks like...I don't know. It's a lot of work to do.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I've never heard it as an allusion to suicide before.
A gallows made from two uprights and a cross-beam is a "two-legged mare." A triple gallows like the Tyburn Tree is a "three-legged mare."
I don't recall a nickname for a gallows with a single upright and a braced arm, though.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
It's gotta be the gallows thing, since the suicide was a hanging.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
A friend of ours wrote this which I really liked.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think Yahtzee also posted one after the premiere aired, though I haven't read it.

Oh, and a Starbucks one that I found cute.
I think I've read a few others and if I run across them, I will link.

I don't know if this is the fanart thread too--if this is inappropriate, boot me. But someone reminded me of how much I love Alice X Zhang's art, and I just bought this. She's especially brilliant if you like Sherlock or Doctor Who. She paints officially for both of those.
