Private Investigator Training and Work

Basil is a close second . . .

But as for sexy, come come . . .

Let's not forget "The Seven Percent Solution" with Nicol Williamson as Holmes, Robert Duvall as Watson, Alan Arkin as Sigmund Freud and in an uncredited cameo appearamce, Cloris Leachman as the dog.

I like the theory that Mycroft and Moriarty are really the same person. It wasn't Moriarty at Reichenbach falls, it was Hercules Grytpype-Thynne, who was saved from death by a clever inflatable bladder of his own invention.

We also had this guy as Holmes:

Please, let's not loose track of what's truly important in this thread.

Scylla's Evil ArchFeminist supervillain costume. Didya find anything yet?

Hmmm. Haven't had the chance to check it out yet. Maybe tonight.

I've been fiddling around with the laser eyes that Argent sent me, but I can't make them work. I wear them, and they appear for a second, and then vanish.

Argent, HELP!!!

IIRC, at least one of those sets of eyes works like a simple weapon ... go into mouselook, and if a small set of crosshairs appears where you're looking, well, position them where you want the beams to go and press your left mouse button.
.

EyeLASHES Dammit!!

Would it mean remotley monitoring chat n stuff? which wud be against the TOS

Ohhhh!

That would be very cool! And potentially useful! I'll try it . . .


Hmm. Yes, but eyelashes registered as a deadly weapon.

Argent's eye lasers are great; they give a whole new meaning to "if looks could kill".

How about this as a model for a PI, Scylla? http://www.femme-noir.com/webcomics.html

I want an evil supervillainess costume too!

But I can't resist talking about Holmes. Anyone who's a fan of the WRITTEN Holmes...you know, he first appeared as a character in books, before they invented those "movie" things...should definitely read the "Mary Russell" novels by Laurie King.

In these wonderful additions to the Holmes saga, the heroine is Mary Russell, a tart, Jewish, feminist woman who meets Holmes when he is in his fifties and semiretired. She becomes his apprentice, being nearly as skilled in deduction as Holmes himself, and eventually his partner and wife.

Holmes, Watson, and Mycroft are all drawn quite faithfully to Conan Doyle's originals, and Russell is a perfect match for the brilliant and quirky Holmes.

The first book in the series is "The Beekeeper's Apprentice". Get it, read it!

You don't know Amara; she'll be advertising her new 'combat ready, laser firing lashes' in the next couple days, watch....... (and they'll be teh hawt, too....)

combat ready, laser firing lashes...the ultimate in camouflage

Oohhhh. Not bad!!!!

I checked out the Milla's place . . . and decided that my avi has developed an allergy to spandex. But the film noire thing is a definite possibility . . .

Hmmm. A female feminist Holmes? Sounds pretty irresistible. Thanks Lindal, I'll look these up!

Cue "Modesty Blaise" in 3... 2... 1...

Makes her sound like Emma Peel with highlights.

(I'm noticing more and more threads lately end with someone imagining Scylla in something outre.)

OMG, such an obvious model! Why didn't I think of this?


Um . . . really????

Scylla is the forum's new Ann Launay!

(I miss Ann, though)

I might have too. I'm a beekeeper in RL after all.

I don't have an apprentice, though. I didn't even know beekeepers could have apprentices; I feel kinda cheated.

In the story, Holmes keeps bees as a sideline. He is out one day, painting bees' abdomens as a means of following them to find a new population for his hive. Russell meets him by nearly falling over him as she wanders the fields, with her nose in a book.

And by the way, even though we got sidetracked...

Sling wins the thread. That's the greatest idea EVAH!

Your newly discovered aversion to latex?

I was thinking of going with leather . . .

You had a nice pic of yourself wielding a katana, and wearing something I rather liked . . . that might be the kind of thing I have in mind.


lol. I have a new heroine!
