'Sup, Dudes!?
I don't have much to say this time around, but Siobhán agreed to be my Watson, so here's what she wrote about our adventures:
It was a dark and stormy night when my friend, Sk8lock Holmes, decided to become a detective. She said it was a good idea, and honestly, so long as she did not make me wear a coat, shirt, sarape, or other top-covering garment, I was happy to humour her. After all, it was an opportunity to wear a bowler hat, and bowler hats are cool!
Unfortunately, our mutual friend, Anna Log, was less amused by our antics. She had just trudged through the dark, stormy night and was unimpressed with Holmes' incredible deductive powers (which I think are actually technically inductive in nature, but I am not certain). This was typical of Miss Log, however, and we were neither insulted nor deterred.
"You guys've gotta stop," Anna complained.
"But it's so fun!" Sk8lock Holmes replied.
"And I need to say something here, too," I ejaculated.
Eventually, we got bored, and the cessation of our detective agency commenced. Then, I was able to return to saying things without describing the utterances as "ejaculation." (Seriously, why was that ever a thing?)
You know what? I actually do have something else to say: I was thinking about what Siobhán was saying last week, how clothes should be worn for "comfort, protection, or decoration." She's definitely onto something there, but I think she forgot that clothes can also be useful. Like, clothes have pockets, and pockets are really handy to have on you, but holding stuff isn't really protection, comfort, or decoration. It's just practical.
Well, maybe being able to hold stuff does make things more comfortable than trying to carry everything in your hands. Plus, it also protects you from looking like a doofus…
Regardless, pockets are good and important. I am Pro-Pocket. If you are Anti-Pocket, then…Idk…Go fuck yourself or something…
Oh, and Siobhán's pasties (only one is visible in the picture) are a reference to a Sherlock Holmes story…Can you guess which one? (Hint: It's a story without any ejaculation. [Seriously, Artie…Why?])
