Strangest place you've taken your game books

[Branding Opportunity]

I tend to read D&D books on the subway a lot. I get some weird looks, especially when I'm reading the fairly massive new Iron Kingdoms books, open, one resting on each leg so I can cross-reference stuff. I spend a lot of time on the subway.

Someone did once come up to me while I was reading Dungeon to ask me where the local gaming store was. I've been seeing myself as a beacon to the gaming community ever since!

The Ram restaurant in Indy after a RPGA event. Is that weird enough? If not then I would say the time I brought the PHB with me when I went over Niagara Falls in the barrel. It was kind of hard to read with the poor lighting and the jerky movements but I got through the feats section.

young ladies with dubious moral qualities.

*homer dream voice* Hmm... dubious moral qualities...

When I went to Bolivia I had my PHB inside the tallest statue of Jesus Christ on the planet.

I declare IamTheTest the winner of this thread.

I spent two months on a glacier in Antarctica ([size=-1]www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2005/pdf/1334.pdf[/size]) in a tent this past winter. Yes, when the wind was howling and we were snowed in I did pull out my laptop (used for downloaing digital photographs and backing up data-loggers) to look at the e-books I had brought.

We played Top Secret on a cot next to my tank in the Saudi Arabian desert while MLRS rocket batteries were firing in the background. That's gotta be the weirdest place I've had my books and played. Trying to figure out how lethal an AK round is after penetrating a train cabin wall while all that was going on was kind of humorous...

thank you der_kluge. I think doing anything in a war zone other than crapping your pants, praying, or ducking is far better than a PHB in El Cristo de Concordia.

I'm surprised nobody quoted that line from the Newlywed game:

"Well, Bob, that would be up the butt!"

I took some books into a christian book store, I had just bought them and was picking up some veggie tales stuff for my nephews to watch with me. Well while I was standing in line I got REALLY annoyed with the cashier because they were TOTALLY incompetent ( I was waiting like 45mins with only three people in front of me with a few things ) so I took out my brand new book of vile deeds and sat down on the floor to read while waiting. They didn't seem to like me.

I've taken mine into the staff bar at the House of Lords when I used to work there. I've read stuff on public transport plenty of times as its a good time for me to catch up. And of course being British I've taken them into the pub many times!
