The announcement was greeted with cheers and a standing ovation. With few exceptions, the Babes and other new fandom has been embraced by the Sherlockian community.Jacquelynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303609550494743573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-55339282318074929602015-01-09T21:45:00.905-06:002015-01-09T21:45:00.905-06:00Well, it's Friday night and Kristina made it i...Well, it's Friday night and Kristina made it into the Big-time Sherlockian Institution.

I mean, this a group of *Sherlock Holmes* fans we’re talking about. <br /><br />Most of us are familiar with Groucho Marx’s famous quip about not wanting to belong to any club that would have him as a member. Apparently the BSI only wants members who in no way resemble the man they claim to honor. Y’know, that man who spoke about the “very soothing atmosphere” of the Diogenes Club, which was founded by and for “the most unsociable and unclubbable men in town.” (GREE) Which makes that third “requirement” particularly ridiculous. Two, five, and seven are pretty dumb, too, and I’m not even sure what six means. <br /><br />The *only* characteristic that should be required for membership in *any* Sherlock Holmes society is devotion to the Master and the Canon. THAT’S IT! Demanding anything else is just a way for the people in charge to throw their weight around by injecting their personal preferences into the choice of members. <br /><br />Truly, “BSI” stands for more than “Baker Street Irregulars.” <br /><br />Andarta WoodlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
