“I’m a bit of a single-stick expert, as you know. I took most of them on my guard. It was the second man that was too much for me.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The adventure of the illustrious client
Single-stick fighting DOES exist!
‘Speak softly and carry a big stick,’ has new meaning for me now.

Happy 153rd Birthday Arthur! May your day be filled full of fairies, haggis, and books… and not that pesky detective you kind of hated but everyone loves you for.
We owe you so much.
Happy Birthday old boy!

324Watson’s first opinion of Holmes in A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Step 1) move in. Step 2) study flatmate voraciously at all hours. Step 3) compile lists about him.
Conan Doyle, You Troll.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, enjoyed practical jokes. He is said to have once sent a telegram to twelve of his friends, all people of great significance and power. The telegram said: ‘Flee at once, the secret is discovered’. Within 24 hours all twelve had left the country.

Even months after the airing of BBC’s unresolved take on The Final Problem a shadow remains over the Sherlockian community.
The 121st anniversary of that fateful plunge into The Reichenbach Falls (or leap off of St. Bart’s) is approaching. May 4, 1891 is widely recognized as the date Professor Moriarty met his demise and Sherlock Holmes vanished, leaving his trusty comrade behind. Source
Follow This blog for angst-ridden posts and support from your fellow Sherlockians. As we head into the week leading up to the ‘death’ of the world’s only consulting detective feel free to share you Reichenbach story, art or fics that we may all prepare for The Final Problem.
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!
(Forgive my nerdom.)

Central London overfloweth with gorgeous, intelligent women with a thirst for murder. The Baker Street Babes: The Web’s Only All Female Sherlock Holmes Podcast.The Baker Street Babes are an all-female group of Sherlock Holmes fans who talk about everything from canon to Cumberbatch, Charles Augustus Milverton to Jude Law, and dancing men to Jeremy Brett. We love Sherlock Holmes and we love having well informed, but also quite fun discussions about it. We’re all young and we’re all females, but we’re all die hard Sherlockians/Holmesian. It’s a demographic within the Sherlock Holmes fandom that is new and growing and doesn’t yet have a voice. We hope to become that voice and we want to prove that we’re not just going to coo over Robert Downey Jr and Benedict Cumberbatch, as lovely as they are, but that we know the canon and want to have discussions about it as well.
Eat your heart out Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
