The WYM/TB8/Adverbs Coincidence Thread

[SnicketFires]

In the movie Bringing Up Baby, one character is trying to capture a leopard with a croquet mallet.

In a book I read someone recalled how her friend wouldn't feel comfortable playing croquet with the rich.
In another, it tells of how some scientist served as the inspiration behind the Glass family in one book and I thought "WYM!"
And Helena Bonham Carter is playing Bellatrix in an HP movie, and of course Helena was a character in adverbs.

I was reading a magazine yesterday, and came across a column featuring a girl who attends Lowell High School in San Fransisco - Daniel Handler's high school, off which Flan's school is based.

I take Calculus now, just like Flan, and we had to cover our books! woohoo!

I recently learned that there's a clarinetist in my school's marching band whose name is Natasha.

When opening my lit book today, the first page which I saw was talking about Flannery O'Connor.

I read a story, "Good Country People" by Flannery O'Connor recently.

Also, I'm not sure if this counts as a coincidence, but I was excited nonetheless: when I was in a small bookshop recently, I saw a copy of the newly-republished The Basic Eight on display (!).

An acquaintance - Andrew, who is incidentally began reading The Basic 8 today - mentioned yesterday that something that someone was carrying looked like an inflatable croquet set.

My spanish teacher said hope springs eternal.
Plus I'm a senior just like Flan now.

In the newspaper the other day, there was a caricature of a politician playing orphan croquet.

On the first day of school in our Drama class this year, there was a Natasha on the attendence list. The teacher called her name, but no one answered. She wasn't on the list the next day though.

We also just finished reading Julius Caesar in my Sophomore English class, just like Flan did.

I keep seeing construction equipment in the town centre with the word "Flannery" on the side.

In a magazine a was looking through, I saw an article for Christmas gifts to give to people, and one of them was a bottle of Pernod Absinthe. (Yay for it being legal in British Columbia!)

One of our vocab words in history was panache. I instantly thought of tb8.

In a Created In Darkness by Troubled Americans, a book of humourous essays, there was one about a character named Stephen Glass.
