Why using the spellcheck feature simply isn't enough.

Dear Sherlock fanfiction author I will not name:

I understand how John Watson could get lost in the Afghan dessert (heck, a good orange-saffron Halwa can distract me for hours), but I'm almost certain he wouldn't be able to save the life of a soldier whose leg had been shredded by a land mime. Land mimes are just too deadly. Silent, but deadly.

bwa!!!!!!!

I'm now envisioning a Special Ops force composed entirely of mimes....

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I was wondering about that, too. The main obstacle is that black turtleneck/pants and white facepaint aren't good for camouflage anywhere, really.

Maybe if they were trying to hide in an F.W. Murnau film....

Um. Wow.

Perhaps a land mine that malfunctioned?

ETA: HA! So much for my reading comprehension...

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yes. :D

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Probably stuck in that invisible box.

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

Or endlessly going down stairs.

Forever walking into a wind *just strong enough* to keep them in place.

That's one way to think outside the box, I suppose.

Oh, those are beautiful mistakes. And you win an internet for "Silent, but deadly"!

Land mimes are deadly and silent
They're also unspeakably violent
They speak Japanese
They do whatever they please...


...no, wait, that's ninjas, nevermind.

I'm going with Freudian typo on that one.

Oy.

Ahahahaha oh god.

I just can't pass up a chance to link to this:

OY.

Sea-mimes, on the other hand... *insert your own Jacques Cousteau joke here*

[entangled-now.livejournal.com]

Land mimes are just too deadly. Silent, but deadly.

*laughing forever*

[irisbleufic.livejournal.com]

Bwahah! Oh my. I'm sure I haven't read that one yet, but when I find it, I'll laugh twice as hard now.
