PBS "Sherlock Holmes" Updated for the 21st century
Front-Ranger:
Maybe so, since several people, upon seeing us, seemed to be struck dumb. Fortunately my friend came equipped with several good Oscar quotes to fill the void. It was one of those situations where we were having more fun than the onlookers, but isn't that always the case? You get out of it what you put into it. The food and entertainment were also good. A quiz was given which I failed miserably, but of course I was just remaining in character (we all know Bosie was a can short of a six-pack).
I also gave a toast to Sir Arthur in limerick form which was well received. :)
Jeff Wrangler:
I'm glad you had a good time. :)
Will you share the limerick, please? Are there pictures of you in your dandyish outfit?
Front-Ranger:
Ask and ye shall receive!
--- Quote ---A Toast for January 27, 2013Arise, my friends and raise a full glass
To a man who stands out as the best in his class
A Victorian writer and physician of record
To whom we can all agree to accord
For his insights deep and his intellect vast.
There was never an author who could so expose
The power of deduction to entertain and disclose
The foibles and failures of the unfortunate few
As well as the origin of the mud on their shoe
And the telltale clues on their clothes.
Woe to the criminal with Holmes on his tail
With Doyle as creator there was no way to fail
Through novel, story, memoir, and film
We give our allegiance only to him
Beside Sir Arthur, all others grow pale.
The great man who through thick and thin did toil
Who can conjure up the best villains to foil
That’s why we persist though our Doctor neglects us
From Sherlock we simply cannot be absentious
All praise to the Doctor, The Consummate Author
Without whom we’d most certainly be distraughter
We give laud and honor to the one and only Sir Arthur
Sir Arthur? King Arthur!
Arthur Conan Doyle.

Y'all look great!!!
Epic limerick. I'm used to the "There was a young lady from Mau..." type of limericks.
