"This page isn't ripped at all, but all it has on it is a long list of dates. It looks like something was going on every twelve weeks or so." (Hostile Hospital -
Just wondering what the significance of this passage is. What are we supposed to infer, the rest of the Quagmire commonplace book scraps vaguely make sense.

The two most widespread theories are that it relates either to VFD meetings or to fires (though if so, someone must be organising fires very systematically). I think it has also been proposed that it relates to the completion of Lemony's volumes (given the TUA theory, that this is going on while the unfortunate events are still happening), but it's rather hard to get a timetable that would make this work.

I'm impressed that you noticed this; of all the tiny details that slip by in the series, this is one of the most obscure. I agree that it most likely correlates to dates of V.F.D. meetings, and might have been an early attempt to set up the Hotel Denouement meeting subplot which runs from TSS-TPP; though more than anything it looks like a dropped plot point.

I totally forgot about this! I like the idea that it relates to the actual books themselves the most, that's such a fun , meta detail.
