"You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present."

Just Matt waving hands around like a kid and Benedict just standing there.
This is kinda what I see when I imagine a world in which they did cast Matt Smith as John Watson…
This is really strange.

Best friend: Dr. Frankenstein. (I always knew mad scientists and me would get along.) First kiss: Rory Slippery. (Seems legit.) Lover: Martin Crieff. (Yay for awkardness and cuteness!) Flatmate: James. (But… but… no… I can’t do this. My heart!) Ex: Rory Slippery. (That even makes sense.) Stalker: Sherlock Holmes. (…I’m strangely okay with this.) Cockblock: Edmund Talbot. (Can’t really judge.) Enemy: Patrick Watts. (I KNEW IT!!) Killer: Peter Guillam. (But I’m not a spy or anything!)
- BF Peter Guillam
- First kiss Rory Slippery
- Lover Sherlock Holmes
- Flatmate Paul Marshall (I should probably be worried – why has Sherlock not informed me of my bad decision)
- Ex Dr Frankenstein
- Stalker James (ugly, ugly crying)
- Cockblock The Creature (maybe that’s why me and Frankie broke up)
- Enemy Rory Slippery
- Killer Sherlock Holmes (Oh…so THAT’S why he didn’t tell me I had a peado for a flatmate)
Best Friend: Dr. Frankenstein First Kiss: James Lover: Dr. Frankenstein Flatmate: Patrick Watts Ex: Rory Slippery Stalker: Paul Marshall (HAHAHAHAHAHA) Cockblock: Martin Crieff Enemy: Sherlock Holmes (EXTREME SADFACE) Killer: James
OBVIOUSLY my best friend since birth became my lover. My flatmate is a cousin of my ex that I became very close to. My stalker sees me around my university and since I’m Asian can’t tell that I’m 20 years old, not 12. A friend of my flatmate is staying over and frequently cockblocks me when I’m trying to get into shenanigans when my lover comes over. My enemy is my enemy because I’m obviously better at Chemistry than he is. And my first kiss was so jealous of my current lover the he killed me.
Sounds legit. (Source: perfectbenny)

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people.
Unlike most of the party games you’ve played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.
The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.
And it is distributed under a Creative Commons license, meaning it is not only free to play, but remixing, and changing the game are more than just encouraged.
The official hard copy has been sold out for a while now, but a PDF of all the cards, and instructions distributed by the creators for making your own deck can be found here.
You’re welcome, and enjoy!
now. i. want. to. make. a. mass. effect. version.
anyone else in?
OMG I PLAYED THIS GAME ONCE AT SNAKES AND LATTES IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS.
Highly recommended. To all of you.
lmao it really was, wasn’t it
This was mentioned among a friend gathering last week.
This. Is. Glorious.

Announcing: The Great Sherlock Fitness Challenge!
Maybe you want to get in shape for a massive parkour-style Believe in Sherlock flyering run. Maybe you need to harpoon a dead pig, or you want to be prepared to fight off mysterious strangers with swords in your flat. Maybe you just want to lose 10 pounds in case you ever get to meet Benedict Cumberbatch. If any of those are true, this is the contest for you! It’s fairly simple:
- Sign up for Fitocracy, a great website for geeks who want to get in shape. You level up by collecting points through various types of exercise, and by completing exercise “quests” along the way.
- Join the BBC Sherlock group on Fitocracy, and click the “Join Challenge” button in the left sidebar.
- Between now and June 3rd, get the word out as much as possible through Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, carrier pigeons, and more. Once the challenge starts, no one will be able join it, so we need to make sure as many people as possible hear about it before it starts.
- Between June 3rd and July 1st, exercise! And make sure you log it in Fitocracy. You can get points for everything from taking the stairs instead of the elevator to running a marathon.
- Once the challenge ends on July 1st, prizes will be awarded as follows:
- 1st place: $50 gift credit to antieuclid’s Random Emporium, the web’s best source for round geek humor, including Sherlock and Cabin Pressure buttons.
- 2nd place: $20 gift credit.
- 3rd place: $10 gift credit.
- Random drawing: Two $10 gift credits will be given to winners selected at random from everyone who participates, so even if you’re not a gym bunny, you still have a chance to win!
So let’s get in gear to make Sherlockians the fittest group in fandom!
[edited to add:] The always awesome Cara McGee has generously offered to supplement the prizes with some of her incredible fandom teas! So you’ll be able to jog your way to a triumphant future of tea and buttons.
[edited to further add:] We’ve got an official challenge Tumblr going, and we’re encouraging people to tag Challenge-related posts with “SherlockFit” to make it easy to keep in touch and cheer each other on.

"The interesting questions about stories, which have, as they say, excited the interests of readers for millennia, are not about what makes a taste for them “universal,” but what makes the good ones so different from the dull ones, and whether the good ones really make us better people, or just make us people who happen to have heard a good story."
