Dear Blogger,
The next few blogs are about the Baudelaire orphans, the dreadful and mysterious Count Olaf, the sad Quagmires, and the confusuing intials that read V.F.D. You will be better reading another blog. Or, just in case, smash your computer with a hammer.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket.
