For all my golf course doodlers, scribblers and semi-architects:

A few weeks ago Krista D Ball posted about a new anthology she had a short story in called Home for the Howlidays. And then /u/fanny_bertram noted that there were exactly 6 kindle books with that exact title and said that maybe someone braver than her should read all six of them. And I decided not let my dreams be just dreams and be that braver person. So here is a review of all 6 books by the title Home for the Howlidays*. One thing to note before the reviews start is that all most all of these except the short story collection are sequels and I did not read any of the earlier books in the series. The reviews aren't in any particular order.
This is the third book in the Holiday Monster Series, but I didn't feel I needed to have read the previous books. This is also a children's book about 91 pages long so it went quickly. In the book Sam Hollister and his step-sister go home and find that everyone in the house has been turned into a monster. The butler is frankenstein, his dad a vampire, step-mom a mummy, step-brother a werewolf, grandma is a ghost and the cook a zombie. Oddly enough his family fortune was made off of a board game in which the players are running from these exact monsters. The only monsters missing are the skeleton and the witch. Now then a side note, this board game is very important to the story shows up multiple times, the family mansion is designed to replicate the board, the pieces of the board exist as giant statues around the house, their clothes are themed after the game. Like this family went all in on the money maker. And it sounds like the worst board game in existence. You roll your dice, place your character in a room, say "this room is safe" the another character says "this room is not safe" you both show a card and if your card is not higher than the challenging players card you have to go back to the start. Not back a room, not loose a turn, start the game over. It is mentioned multiple times that the game is pretty much impossible to finish and yet the family has somehow made millions off of it. Sam figures out that the sheer energy of some many people playing this decades old absolutely miserable game brought the evil wizard to life and now he and his step sister must defeat the wizard or become the last two monsters from the game.

I thought of this question since the next Presidents Cup will be played in S.Korea on a Nicklaus designed course.
Edit:
Have a huge list of available NES Games. $3 shipping for 1 game, $1 for each additional game, free shipping on 5 games or more... If you want pictures just ask. Some games may have knicks in the labels or small scuffs / sticker / marker but nothing major.

... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
