Where was my brain?

In a dumpster somewhere, I guess.

Casually mentioned in this intriguing post on another topic:

 begin quote  [... snip ...] it's established that Holmes/Watson, while not explicitly stated in canon, is in fandom nearly as old as the original stories [... snip ... and was] passed down in popularity to the current era of fans. (The same was passed on to the House, M.D. fandom, as House was modeled off of Holmes. House/Wilson fans are as prevalent as Holmes/Watson fans.)
 quote ends 

ZOMG! I am thick as a concrete block wall! Of course Watson : Wilson :: Holmes : House. Even with the drugs!

The actual topic under consideration in the post, which I highly recommend, is "The sure fire way to create division, wank and tsurris in fandom? SEX! of any sort."
