I just want to say that at this moment I am so in love with J and Shruti my heart is about burst. Seriously, if bigamy and gay marriage were legal, I would go to your respective houses, drop on one knee and propose. I love you like absinthe, whoa and musicals combined.

(on-topic)
Daniel Handler should totally supervise the composition of a ASoUE musical.

The question was originally addressed to you, too, but you weren't being on much and all.

[Alice Wilde]

You did it better. I haven't the foggiest of what to do with an ASoUE musical. It's too big a concept, bigger than all of space and time. I hear that they are trying to do a Harry Potter muscial and, for like five seconds, my brain stopped. You just can't combine two things that are that good. It would be like making a cocaine donut.

On-topic:

Lemony Snicket would be a durian.

Daniel Handler would be a caper.

Explanation?

Shruti/J/Alice/whoever can answer this well, if you were Dr. Seuss, how would you summarize A Series of Unfortunate Events?
I think someone might be able to do a really swell job with that, so whoever wants it can take it.

Since we don't have a lot of time, I answered it.
Misfortune abound, no felines adorned
A monster quite like the bald-headed red horn
Disguised, incognito, all secrets well-hidden
Children saved only by fruit that’s forbidden
Fires not doused by the Lorax’s hose
Flimsy false mustaches under the nose.
All this, not a Who-ville, not even a Bliss
Just three distressed children with lives gone amiss.

What do you mean "no felines adorned"? I think the first two lines are weak, but the rest is really quite good. Maybe fix them up a little? To make more sense?

Which one of Violets inventions has proved most useful in your life and why?

If you were going to brainwash someone to do your bidding, which code words would you use?

Pandora, If you had the privilege of attending Daniel Handler's birthday party what would you say to him?

A: What kind of cake is that?

If Count Olaf had a theme song what would it be?

The first thing that popped into my head was that the song “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch” would probably compliment Olaf nicely though for some reason I get the feeling Olaf is a closet Gloria Estefan fan.

Songbird, out of the many ridiculous in things that are in the series, which one is your favorite and why?

My favorite thing from the series was the pinstripe suit being considered "In". Now, I don't personally own a suit, but I do have a snazzy pair of pinstripe pants, and a very attractive pinstripe fedora. This is my favorite because of all the strange fashion trends that Esme decides to follow, this one can be accomplished by anyone. As much as people like following the crowd, it's not always the best thing to do, especially if it involves wearing a bikini made of lettuce leaves. Pinstripe suits, on the other hand, can be worn any time without the constant threat of someone wanting to make a salad out of your fashion statement.


I hope this one sounds better

[Libitina]

Okay, here's a better version of the Dr. Seuss thing, written with Shruti:

You won't ever find any Felines in Hats;
No Grinches or Sneetches or cold Butter Spats.
(Just a girl of the same name who's kind of a jerk
and ominous waiters who linger and lurk.)
Disguised, incognito, all secrets well-hidden--
Children saved only by fruit that’s forbidden.
Fires not doused by the Lorax’s hose;
Flimsy false mustaches under the nose.
Of the Places You'll Go, this one lacks the most bliss;
It's just three distressed children with lives gone amiss.

This is my favorite because of all the strange fashion trends that Esme decides to follow, this one can be accomplished by anyone. especially if it involves wearing a bikini made of lettuce leaves. This actually helped me get through high school because it emphasized the idea that following trends just because somebody thinks it's fashionable or cool, isn't always the smartest thing to do. Esme is the perfect example of what not to do. Being trendy doesn't make you more likely to get friends, or any closer to being successful in life. It only makes you slightly less of an individual if all you do is follow the crowd.

Hey, sorry if I'm being presumptuous, but there were bits and pieces of all the versions of your submission that I really like, and so I was trying to see how they'd fit together, and I came up with this:

My favorite thing from the series was the whole idea of things being “in” or “out.” This actually helped me get through high school because it emphasized the idea that following trends just because somebody thinks it's fashionable or cool isn't always the smartest thing to do. Esme is the perfect example of what not to do. Being trendy doesn't make you more likely to get friends, or any closer to being successful in life. It only makes you slightly less of an individual if all you do is follow the crowd.

However, I do really admire the pinstripe suit (although I only own a snazzy pair of pinstripe pants and a very attractive pinstripe fedora), especially because out of all the strange fashion trends that Esme decides to follow, this one can be accomplished by anyone (and without the constant threat of someone wanting to make a salad out of your fashion statement).


I'm not positive if that's exactly what your were trying to say, but it seemed a shame to take out some of the stuff you had said in previous versions.

I remembered his birthday....


And there's 13 birthdays today, and it's Snicket's birthday..codincidence...
