I have been reading an Arsene Lupin omnibus, and in it there is a story where a character uses Josephine's code, with words like 'necessery' and 'ennemy' spelling out the name ETNA.

Was it the same story?

Did DH get the idea from there?

Was his name "Stephano" or "Stefano"?

I'd assume it was a verbal introduction so he wouldn't know how it was spelled.

Latest in the 'ASOUE on Pointless' series: there was a round on Jim Carrey films. One of them was 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of _ Events', which got 41 points. (Neither team guessed it, though.)

My mother’s initials are actually J.S! We made quite a few jokes around the time that we watched the TPP episodes of the Netflix series about how she harbored a secret past as a volunteer.

In fact, my mom is also JS, and I only realized that now that you spoke.

I'm playing an Android game where I can adopt an orphan named Klaus.

bahaha I remember the tumblr post a while back. the kid was smoking weed or something and told his mum he'd been kidnapped by count olaf

[R.]

Lol is that what actually happened or was he making excuses for a real abduction? Because that’s the wrong ankle he has there...
