cimorene: closeup of Jeremy Brett as Holmes raising his eyebrows from behind a cup of steaming tea (holmes)
[personal profile] cimorene
A sampler of unintentional humor encountered while reading.

  • there's his segway back to the point

  • the peak of brightly colored socks at the ankle

  • he cried like a baby in a supply closet at the thought

  • peal off his trench coat

  • put through the ringer

  • to his heart's contempt

  • never put much stalk in

  • opportunity to sew chaos

  • It's just plain bazar

  • At the brick of down one windy day

  • one of the hoards of scavenging masses

  • Hermione poured over a list

  • you played the part of the scorned boyfriend with the mellow-dramatics that only you could pull off

  • launched into another hysterical peel of giggles

  • [he] had not budget, stubborn and loyal as he was

  • you're brothers and probably have the same pallet when it comes to tea

  • his face was red with anger and his hair had gone esque

I myself have sewn chaos...it makes a lovely quilt but it keeps flying around the room no matter what you do.

If my brother liked tea, I'd be happy to split the cost of a pallet of the good stuff! :D

"Peal off his trenchcoat" - ah, must be a crinkly waterproofed one! The sound of a raincoat coming off is unmistakable even from down the hall.

The segway back to the point could come in handy when you've been trapped in conversation with one of those rambling derailers who drag you six miles away from the original topic! (Now I'm so tempted to go find a Segway gif for use in those situations...) :D

That's kind of brilliant.

The author probably meant "askew", but it reads like they're saying his hair had gone "in the style of ____" and is inviting the reader to supply their own model for ____, and I love that.

Wait, or maybe that his hair had gone hair-esque, like Cullen's hair in Dragon Age.

The one that still makes me smile is from highschool, some thirty-odd years distant now, when Ron (a delightful lad whose enthusiasm for life was boundless) held forth on a problem of teenaged boys he called nocturnal ambitions.
