5. OK, got it now

I looked at the link, but I quickly because confused because I was sure it was some kind of lemon dessert square or something.

6. Have you ever listened to the audio versions, read by Tim Curry?

Perfect, dead-on perfect.

I listen in the car.

3. "Lemony Snicket" writes children's books

They have a series of improbably horrid things happening to the kids. Believe it or not, this series is popular. There is even going to be a movie based on the books.

Look up Lemony Snicket (not the author's real name, of course) on amazon.com, you'll see the titles of several of the books.

4. I love Lemony Snicket.

In one of his last couple of books, little Sunny said "busheney," one of her babytalk works, which was defined to mean "someone who really doesn't care at all about others" (paraphrased).

That cracked me up.

8. I caught that too

I wonder if Mr. Snicket is a member here.

7. Lemony Snicket RULES

Violet rocks, Klaus is the best, and Sunny kicks serious ass. The books are awesome. I only wish I could say the world is quiet here.
