Post the Second

I had some trouble deciding what to call my story of the life of Lemony Snicket. I first thought I would call it "The Life and Adventures of Lemony Snicket," but then I realized that Mr. Snicket had already included a list of names for his theoretical biography. He included it in "The Unauthorized Autobiography," and is copied below:
