My Dad gave a fairly elegant defense of D&D to one of my relatives when he saw me reading the Monster Manual. I remember being pretty impressed (I was 12 at the time). Ice fishing sometimes require reading materials.

If my Dad had burned ANY of my books that would have probably also burned any relationship. I can only guess at the sense of betrayal, and that's one of those run away and join the circus type events or go to a far way college / join the military life choices.




What does that "ice fishing" statement mean?


It means ice fishing is tedious, and some distraction is required.


and I was way too young for the hot buttered-rums


I'll assume you live someplace warm. Ice fishing is where you drill a hole in a frozen water body and try to catch fish with a rod through the hole.
