And David Burke as Watson (Not Edward Hardwicke.)

That’s why I’m not really a geek, I’m just a geek groupy.

Then it may be a consolation to know that Jeremy Brett was the internal voice I heard (having never heard Greg Laden’s voice anyway). And as my name (by marriage anyway) is Watson, I will make a (no doubt incorrect) deduction about the root beer: What else would one drink while engaging in the practice of unix system administration?

Very disturbing.

I suspect quite a few people will get a laugh out of it.

Well done.

Actually, if you open the windows on the north side of your house, you can probably hear Amanda laughing about the root beer right about now.
