It's kinds funny, to.When I was but a lad of 10 years old (about 14 years ago), my Mother took me o a used book sale at a local school I had once attended (we had since moved and I had to change schools). There, amidst numerous books, lay one that caught my eye, a tome entitled Monster Manual. Flipping through the pages, I saw numerous depictions of monsters and creatures taken from my imagination... and my nightmares. I ran to my mother and asked her to buy it for me, and she did, since she never thought any harm could come from reading (my Mom was great in that respect).Later, as I pored over the book, I noticed odd "stat blocks" and references to a game called Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. My curiosity piqued even moreso, I soon ventured to the closest hobby shop (a Hungates in a nearby mall) and used my meager allowance to purches a Dungeons & Dragons Boxed Set (black box w/ red dragon on cover).Now, here's the really funny part of the story -- the school that was having the used book sale, where I got the AD&D MM, was a Catholic school!!!</blockquote>
