Today's prompt: weird hobby
________________________________________________
Meet Greg Lestrade, big game hunter
John watched in fascination as Sherlock paced the crime scene, managed to make Donovan speechless with fury and reduced the new guy on the forensic team to tears within the first five minutes.
The sound of footsteps made him turn his head. Greg appeared next to him.
“Do you sometimes think about using a tranquillizer dart when he is like that? You know, those that are used in Africa to bring down wild rhinos. Because I have.”
John’s laugh was interrupted by a string of insults directed at everyone in the room. Lestrade didn’t even blink.
“He is in a special mood today. What happened? Did he get out of the wrong side of the bed?”
“He didn’t get out of it at all because he refused to go to bed yesterday.”
“Any particular reason?”
“He was researching weird hobbies on the internet.”
“Weird hobbies? What’s a weird hobby?”
“Apart from all the people who collect weird stuff, there apparently are people who race ferrets, people who learn how to speak Klingon and people who research monsters. I stopped listening after a while.”
“Do you think weird hobbies make someone into a weird person or weird people simply choose weird hobbies?”
“Why?”
“I think Anderson once told me something about his position in the Klingon fleet. He also collects tea bags.”

AN:
The prompt was 'weird hobby'.
Sorry, Anderson.
@Trekkies: I am not making fun of you (much). I am a sci/fi geek myself. And sometimes a Trekkie.

So, we have Sherlock here, and Star Trek, and your title reminds that Greg is kind of a hunter of dinosaurs in Doctor Who and Anderson loves dinosaurs and... EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED! :D
There's only a sentence I deeply dislike:
“He didn’t get out of it at all because he refused to go to bed yesterday.”
Dammit. Bad news for porn.

*shakes head sadly*
This restrictive attitude to porn-worthy locations both saddens and disturbs me - especially on the part of Ms Encyclopaedia FanFiccia, who must surely have encountered a wide range of alternative venues during her extensive reading thus far.
Anarion... I would take this as a challenge!

Date: 2012-11-13 02:30 pm (UTC)CUPBOARD!!! Sorry, sheer reflex. :D Well, Sherlock can refuse to go to bed as long as he wants, but the problem is he refuses sex with John in favour of the internet!
*shakes head sadly too*
Anyway I strongly second the idea of Anarion taking it as a challenge.
