Has eye-reen' become the common British pronunciation of Irene? In Conan Doyle's era, it was eye-ree'-ne.
Patron: That girl is a witch. Mal: Yeah, but she's our witch.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's not how I did it.
My italics weren't accidental!

Tep, you should have been in the hotel with SA and I when we were going at the whole... thing.
There were thoughts. And discussions.
I, too, would like a girlfriend who looks like Lara Pulver.
Lots. I'm not sure Paul would approve, sadly. Nor am I sure I would share.

Well, it's not like you've been obsessed with the character of Irene Adler for the last 20+ years.

Oh, and reading Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality has me VERY THINKY about such matters, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Well if you're not sharing, no wonder Paul doesn't approve. I'm just saying.

I actually haven't been, really. Adler in ACD is a slight character, a cipher onto whom various interpretations have mapped their own thoughts and desires, some of which make me go 0.o.
Mary's more interesting.

For reasons that would align with the thinky thoughts Tep and I should be sharing regarding the spectrum of sexuality, I'm not sure he'd want to.

All I can do right now is wave my hands and try to get my mind around Irene's repeated dinner invitations ("Just to be clear, since I'm bad with social nuance," I asked Tim, "Dinner is a metaphor, right?") and Sherlock's eventual declaration that he's not hungry, and yet -- my brain is reeling.
