ERBoH Bio
Egads! Sherlock Holmes here. The world's greatest detective. I've solved some of the world's toughest cases all over the globe. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created me in a world-famous series of novels and short stories. My logical reasoning and observation skills are unsurpassed and, no matter what you hear, I really only wear that floppy-eared hat some of the time. Emotions must be left out of a good investigation, not that I have to worry about that, I'm mostly ambivalent towards women (aside from one enchanting Irene Adler) and have a mediocre relationship with my brother Mycroft. Might I offer you some violin music? I find it helps my thinking... or perhaps you'd like to try some cocaine? No? Quite alright, more for me, more for me... For more information, feel free to consult my personal biographer, friend and trusted sidekick, Dr. Watson.

ERB #26, Verse 1:
(Sherlock Holmes in bold)

(Dr. Watson in Italic)

Sherlock Holmes: I once met a rich fellow who smelled of guano and pain

Dr. Watson: Holmes, explain

Sherlock Holmes: I deduce this deuce stain is Bruce Wayne

Dr. Watson: The billionaire? 

Sherlock Holmes: Yes, his wealth would allow this adversary of ours

To afford the toys he needs

Dr. Watson: Since he has no superpowers!

'''Sherlock Holmes: You want a battle, bat? Bring it then!'''

Dr. Watson: I heard he has a British butler

'''Sherlock Holmes: Good! Then he'll be used to getting served by Englishmen!'''

You're a wack vigilante black pantied spud with no skill

My sidekick's a doctor

Dr. Watson: Because his flows are so ill!

ERB #26, Verse 2:
Sherlock Holmes:

*Thinking*

This mustn't register on an emotional level...

'First, exploit childhood tragedy... then gesture with pipe...'

'Watson finishes punchline... next, acknowledge compliment...'

Conclude with killer catchphrase...

*Finished thinking*

I believe your parent's homicide is why you mask your face

You're shamed and traumatized and haunted by the vast disgrace

Of watching like a passive waste as momma died and daddy was dispatched with haste!

Dr. Watson: Holmes, you've cracked the case! 

Sherlock Holmes: You're a batshit crazy basket case!

Dr. Watson: Bloody good rhymes! 

Sherlock Holmes: I've got tonnes

Dissing these dynamic douchebags was elementary, my dear Watson

Dr. Watson: OHHHHHHH!!!

Unofficial ERB Lyrics:
I'll mashy spike plate your immortal soul

Send your robot ass through a portal hole!
