These are questions from an interveiw, that string together, and might help us with some things:
On pg 200 of the Unauthorized Autobiography, there is a picture of a man (presumably Mr. Snicket) leaning down and looking at something on the ground. The caption reads "I arrived too late- they'd already removed it." Removed what?
Look at the top picture of that page. Does that picture remind you of a funeral?
How come, in all those pictures at the end of LSUA, that truck appears in so many of them?
To carry a coffin
In the same set of pictures, there are two pictures of two seperate ruins, both with the same caption: "...could not possibly have been at the same time." What could not possibly have been at the same time?
read and find out
Is there any truth to the idea that those captions to those pictures refer to phrases that have been used at some other point in the book?
to be short and sweet, yes
Any ideas to what captions could refer to which phrases? I have absoloutley no idea, but I know someone here must have a few ideas.

I think that the item "they" already removed is Lemony's coffin, which actually contained something important to VFD. There's a thread about the coffin in here somewhere.
I read someplace that those phrases may just be a way to cover up/explain away apparent chronologic inconsistencies in the autobiography. It's hard to make a coherent timeline of the autobio, for there are many events which could not possibly have been at the same time.

That's a good idea.
I think the picture that Snicket told us earlier in the interveiw that one of the pictures is of a funeral. Who's? Lemony's? Beatrice's? Someone else?

I'll have to look at the picture again, but it might be the fake funeral for Lemony, in which a coffin that contained, er, something that wasn't a dead children's author, was buried to make people think that Lemony was dead.

It's hard to make a coherent timeline of the autobio, for there are many events which could not possibly have been at the same time. That is actually the best theory about those phrases that I've heard. And the Emma Montana McElroy thing is interesting. I didn't know that, which explains why I'd never heard of her.

Yeah, I think maybe it was Beatrice's coffin. Exhumations are gross though.
