Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games

It's 2012 and at long last, the eyes of the world are on London. The public are on tenterhooks with excitement and traffic is being brought to a standstill. But despite the massive costs, political repercussions and unbearable pressure of anticipation, the next series of Sherlock is still a REALLY long way away.

So how are we to keep the public entertained while we wait? What we need is a big sparkly pointless sporting event, but I don't think the 2012 Olympics are going to cut it. Never fear, however. I've got a plan and it involves a predictable quantity of silliness.

Get ready for the 2012 SHER-LYMPICS!



The London 2012 SherLympics!

A sure-fire success, don't you think? Admittedly, I haven't yet come up with a counterpart for the Orbit tower thingy, but I'm sure a gigantic sculpture of the pert Cumberbatch rear end would look lovely towering over Regent's Park...

Not our decathlon! /dies

Well, that would at least provide some sort of answer to Chicago's giant statue of Marilyn Monroe.

Ha! All of these are perfect choices for Sherlypics - well done!

Can we please have your Sherlympic logo instead of the ghastly jagged Olypmic logo some idiot paid a small fortune for ? Yours is much prettier and actually suggests something to do with London.

Heeee - cross country posing is wonderful ;)

Love it!

Haven't quite decided which would be my favourite but brollyball, freestyle robbery and not our decathlon are fairly promising. :) I'd be too involved in wrestling with technology to watch it objectively...

~~BRB laughing too hard to comment~~

Oh God, "recreational scolding..." "mental gymnastics," the "three day sulking event."

To quote John, OH GOD, YES.

Oh that was you! I might have known! I saw this on tumblr a few hours ago but tumblr I find is very difficult to keep track of. Who posted what when and how to reply... all impossible for the tumblr-challenged likes of me.

I LOVE this. This is GENIUS. I cannot decide what is my favourite but possibly it's the extremely naughty and counter-Reichenangstian 'rooftop diving'. Also Sherlock's hair. Brollyball is a close second. Indoor shooting! And omg cross-country posing...!

This really rocks. Great idea, love the logo and I just can't decide which one is my favourite :)
I think these would make nice icons, would that be ok for you (of course with credit) or not? No problem if it isn't.

I will happily make icons from any of the little pics if you (or anyone else) want one, but I'd prefer it if you don't do it yourself. Let me know if you want a particular pic.

Hee hee hee! Love the style, haven't seen you draw like this before, very interesting. :) The logo is fantastic, too!

And Being All Mysterious With Your Cheekbones and Turning Up Your Coat Collar So You Look Cool might be an extra event?

If you're doing icons, I would especially like the modern pent-up sexual tension, the freestyle robbery, and the cross-country posing...

[info]redscharlach

February 22 2012, 23:54:33 UTC 3 months ago

Okay, here are a few Sherlympics icons for you!

Oh my Godtiss, these are great.

((Unrelated, but I'm still wondering when Doctor Who series 6, part 2 icons will be made.))

I second the wish for Who 6.2 icons! I can't offer you a firstborn child, but will some shameless flattery do? ; )

Ahahahahhahahaha, oh, excellent. I think my favourites are the three-day sulking event, the cross-country posing and "not our decathlon!".

Thank you for the laughs!!!

These made me laugh until my head hurt. I adore the one for recreational scolding. And the Sherlock-hat Olympic logo is just inspired. You are a devilishly clever genius!

Oh yes, you also get extra props for using a Peter Gabriel lyric as the post title. ; )

LMAO, late to the party (as always), but I just found this and I'm still not able to stop laughing! :D
