For the Gazette, but I wanted some opinions first. I know it's dumb - but is it funny??

*bows* Thank you! I'm flattered that you enjoyed it. =)

Oooh, I just about fell off of my chair, I was giggling so hard! LOL! Excellent work, Abby! "Headlock Bones". . . What a name! ;)

[musard]

*laughs at the mental picture* Glad you enjoyed it. :) And as you know, I truly am a great admirer of our dear Holmes - but there are such delightful opportunities for poking fun at him! :)

I enjoyed it. :)

*laughs* 'Tis simply hilarious! :D

Lol, good job! I admit I am "bewildered and befuddled," too. I'll probably feel perfectly stupid if you decide to reveal how Headlock discovered the cigar case was in the man's pocket. ;)

Here's one typo I caught:

"I see. And where there any strangers in the house?"
(And were there...)

There are a few others, so if you want me to point them out, just ask.

Oh, he saw it there. =) That's the simple explanation. You may have noticed that I neglected to write how Bones knew he was a cigar smoker - actually, I didn't catch that myself until after I posted it, but it worked out all right.

Oooh, thank you! I'd be delighted if you'd point out my mistakes. I didn't even proof-read it before posting, I'm ashamed to say. It was halfway done, and I just sat down and rambled until I reached what I thought was a good point of conclusion. Skimmed over it quickly, decided I actually liked it, and posted it. *blush* I hate proofing, but I guess it's really very necessary! =)

I had the idea that he might have seen it there, but thought that was too obvious! lol I did notice that you failed to mention how Bones knew the man was a cigar smoker. (Did you change that, or is it meant to be part of the comic effect?)

Now if I can find the other little mistakes.... (Mind if I wait until after supper?) :)

You did a great job on the story!
