'In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick-or-treat" to this post and...well, you know the drill.

What, you mean, now? Heee. Trick or treat!

Here, have a comm rec! holmestice is full of awesome Sherlock Holmes stories from fests past, labelled by continuity, pairing (or "no pairing" - I like comms that label "no pairing" fics), and other stuff!

Also, a random link (I am bad at embedding and don't care to try in a comment, which I can't edit) to my favorite bit of "Pirates of Penzance". The sound's a bit out of sync, but on YouTube you take what you can get. XD

Ah yes, the incredibly quiet break-in, wahahaha XD I love that bit! And I knew there was a film, but I've never seen it, so I didn't know Angela Lansbury was in it (teehee cool) and how good Kevin Kline looks there (omg whaaat) XD

And thanks for the Holmes comm, too! I haven't been very active in that fandom for a long while, so this is probably a good hint to start that again :P

THE FILM IS FABULOUSLY AWESOME. You should see it if you can! It is IMO the best of all Gilbert & Sullivan films except possibly the "Mikado" with Martyn Green and Kenny Baker. :D Angela Lansbury is hilarious, so is Kevin Kline, so is pretty much everyone else (the Chief Constable and the Modern Major-General especially), and Linda Ronstadt singing Mabel is positively incredible.

Also you're welcome! XD

NO SOUND AT ALL, WE NEVER SPEAK A WORD

(yes indeed! XD)

That is indeed a great scene! Have you seen the live version of it? I confess I love it slightly more, but it may just be because it's so awesome to hear the audience reaction.

[justice_turtle]

I have not! We own it, but I never got past "When Fred'rick Was a Little Lad", because not!Angela-Lansbury is simply not as awesome a Ruth. :-(

*makes a note to watch video when I have time to let it load* ;P

Yes, I can see missing Angela Lansbury, but in fairness, Patricia Routledge's performance did come first. *g* Anyway, she's not in "Cat-Like Tread," and the audience goes mad for Kevin Kline, so you should watch it.
