I've been reading a good deal of Sherlock Holmes recently, (which may be why my language tends toward the 19th Century British as of late), and I have to admit, that's some good stuff. I mean, it's nothing to go nuts over, but if you want to sit and relax and read a good story, Doyle's short narratives are just the ticket. I've also taken to noticing a number of similarities between myself and Mr. Holmes, a few of which I shall relate to you here.
-Holmes lives on 221b Baker St. in London: I live on Maple St. in Four Oaks. What do baker's often use to sweeten their creations? Maple syrup.
-Holmes' best friend is Dr. Watson. My favorite family practitioner is Dr. Stanley Watson at Horizon Family Medical.
-The famous deerstalker cap of Holmes was not ascribed to him by Doyle, but by the illustrator of the stories, Sidney Paget. I, too, have had hats falsely ascribed to me by illustrators.
-Sherlock Holmes is famous for his cold logic. I am capable for using logic, even when it's cold outside.
Sseltniop is pointless spelled backwards.
