There could already be a thread about this, but I dunno, its pretty clear to me that Aunt Josephine's hubby Ike wasn't eaten by leaches becuase int he Slippery Slope lemony snicket says that he was the one who chucked the sugar bowl out the window and considering that it said at the end of the book that the sugar bowl was still going down the river he prolly didn't throw it out before he was eaten by leaches cause that would have been way too long ago. Also thre is also prolly somthin about this too but I just thought i'd say it since I'm already on the subject of sugar bowls. It seems pretty clear from the letter lemony hid in the book to his sister that sugar bowls are simply used for hiding small bits of extremely top secret information. Ok there.

Yeah, I always thought Ike was alive, or he escaped the leeches that so-called attacked him, or ate him. I think the sugar bowl is basically used for everything. Or that's the way the V.F.Ders put it.

No, you' ve got it all wrong. Someone else threw the sugarbowl into the water. I quote from TSS pg. 284:
.....and Dr. Isaac Anwhistle, whom everyone called Ike, AND the brave volunteer who threw the sugarbowl out of the kitchen window so it would not be destroyed in the blaze.

i think the sugar bowl is in Lake Lachrymose and that Ike went to get it but he got eaten by the Lachrymose Leachs.

Thank you for clarifying that. I think the brave volunteer was K Snicket. She was in the headquarters, hence Lemony saying "Dear sister, I am coming north to try and find you." K also set up the Verbal Fridge Dialogue, when the two arsonists first showed up. She thought that Jacques was alive. And when the fires began she threw the sugar bowl out the window into the stream. She's now on the way to Hotel Denoument. Do you think that's possible? |

I never said that I actually THOUGHT it was Ike, I just said I thought he was alive.

Quigley *Shudders*, maybe Ike couldn't come back to Aunt Josephine because of V.F.D.

Maybe the entire marraige and Aunt Josephine's phobias are all just a sham. Maybe Count Olaf's disguise name is a clue.

It's not just a disguise name. Captain Sham is a real person whom Olaf disguised as. He may still be alive.
Do I have to type out all the evidence for this theory of mine again?

Captain Julio Sham was the man who wrote to Lemony about the Prospero. His letter is in the autobiography; he seems to be a good VFDer and is therefore not Olaf. This makes me wonder if Olaf's other disguises are the identities of real people.

They aren't. Look at the index. Coach Genghis, Stephano, etc, lead to false names, whereas Captain Sham goes straight to disguises. Julio Sham is definitely real...

Curiously enough, "Detective Dupin", doesn't lead to "false names". It leads to "doubtful evidence" through "web of lies" to "doom, overall feeling of", which is what everything in Snicket's world comes from, and that to which it all returns. Or at least what most everything in that index leads to. I love the index.

It was not Jacques! Jacques wrote a separate letter (the one before it) when under sixty feet of water. Julio Sham's style is completely different. He is formal in a way that suggests he isn't just pretending. Look at the studied way in which he complements Lemony's dramatic criticism.
