(what did Holmes tell the police that got John Horner out?) “I found the blue carbuncle and also I let the actual thief go but it’s fine because I’m Holmes”

Listen I promise he’s not the thief but I can’t tell you how I know that also what are you saying that’s totally not an expensive blue gem in my pocket

Toss Walnuts; submissions open

Tossing Walnuts is now taking submissions for #the-giant-chat-of-sumatra tag! The last several months have been a roller-coaster of change in the admin’s personal house, and one of the pitiful side effects is that regular attendance in part or in full on our Wednesday night watch-a-longs is very difficult. This means that I miss so many more nuggets of hilarity! So, I’m opening submissions. 

Do you attend Sunday’s watch-a-long and want to share? Did I make it one night and miss something someone said? Was I MIA? Do you just want to toss walnuts too?  Now is your chance to take control and help a walnut out:

Toss Walnuts!
