Do you have a ‘man cave’?
Asked at Wayne & Larry’s Sports Bar, 933 Iowa on September 15, 2009
“No, I do not because I do not own my house, I rent.”
“No, I do not, but we build ‘man caves’ — that’s all we do.”
“No, not enough room in my house for one.”
“Yes, I do. It has my TV, my bed … my refrigerator full of beer.”

man cave? What a wretched, horrid, vile term.
I much prefer lair, sanctum, or in a pinch: mastabatorium.
H_Lecter 3 years, 8 months ago
So, R_I, you have stalactites in your cave?

Is there an ACORN office in town where I could get advice on setting up a sporting house in my man cave?

BIg Surprise to everyone, "Yes I do". Gootsie come over and I will show you, through the window, (No women allowed).

Multi and Gootsie~ Naughty girls! ;-)
My husband and son do have a man cave and I am happy to send them to it. Hubby finished a nice big room, which had previously housed a lot of junk, crapola, dust, animal hair, etc., in the basement, so it's actually a huge improvement and will be a good selling point when we finally put this place on the market.
In this room, he has a crazy-expensive treadmill, other work-out items, a giant suede-covered beanbag chair with matching beanbag "footstool," the requisite ginormous TV, stereo and gaming equipment (wii and the like), a couple other comfy chairs, cool custom lighting, and a special-order flooring surface that is some kind of hard foam stuff. Good for exercise but also very attractive.
The walls have framed superhero posters, medals & such from athletic events (recent--he at least didn't dig out the high school stuff! ha), and, I'm not sure what else. I stay away.
Everyone who's been led down there for the grand tour following the completion of the room this summer has "ooooh"ed and "ahhhhhh"ed and declared that they want to put one in their house. Especially the women. Because if you let him choose his own floor covering, wall colors, ceiling materials, lights, and furnishings in one dedicated room, you can kindly but firmly tell him to run along when you're picking out these things for the rest of the house. ;-)

Is it another term for a Den where I keep my "Etchings"?
Boosh 3 years, 8 months ago
oops
consumer1 3 years, 8 months ago
Multi you are correct. My whole house is a man cave. My basement just happens to be the room designated for my workout equipment. Done in orange and black with Harley posters, a bar set up. More testosterone than a sperm bank. I also store me MC there during the winter months. It is great to be a man. No metro sexual for me thanks.

Good one auti. then there is the HGTV, which stands for "how gay" tv.
jonas_opines 3 years, 8 months ago
No, no. I just have a Bat Cave.
Wish me luck folks, getting my back operated on today.
jonas_opines 3 years, 8 months ago
/again
consumer1 3 years, 8 months ago
Good luck Jonas, Without you, the bat cave will just be a cave.
sgtwolverine 3 years, 8 months ago
I like how they put man cave in quotes, as if to say, "We'd never use this term, but we hear it's popular in some parts of the world."
Jonas, you should ask your surgeon if he has a "man cave."
Boosh 3 years, 8 months ago
LMAO, autie, I'm nice and call it the estrogen channel. Just glad I have a TV, computer, stereo in my "den" I just need a wc and a fridge and she who must be obeyed will have to work at prying me out.
RoeDapple 3 years, 8 months ago
Good luck jonas...
I'll show you my scar if you show me yours (scar)...
Not a ManCave! 2 table saws, planer, shaper, mitre saw, band saw, 13 routers, 2 drill press, multi bore machine, dust collector. Tools, tools, tools! More Craftsman tools than Sears! My kids ask what I need all that stuff for. I say so they get to sort it out when I'm gone.
Paybacks!
Gootsie 3 years, 8 months ago
Good luck Jonas - check back soon!
I have what I call a "Saturday Room" which is where I have all my woman/mother stuff and I go there on Saturdays to just goof around. Hubby unit doesn't care to be in there, although I do need some pictures hung.
What would I call it to be consistent with "man cave"?
Leslie Swearingen 3 years, 8 months ago
Praise the Lord, I am a single woman so I don't have to put up with any of this. I have been blessed. Good luck, Jonas.
consumer1 3 years, 8 months ago
Gootsie, how about "A Saturday Room"? I had another name that was pretty harsh. But, since I know you and I know how sweet you are I would never say it. It certainly was the opposit of Man cave.
Boosh 3 years, 8 months ago
Good luck jonas
snap_pop_no_crackle 3 years, 8 months ago
Good luck, jonas.

1000 pts to Roe for mentioning he has a multi boring machine on the same thread that multi mentions she is the proud possessor of a man cave.
Drew_Carey 3 years, 8 months ago
5000 pts for jonas because he's going to need them.

I have a MCC - Men's Crisis Center. Qualifies for stimulus money - the Man Cave funding request was rejected.
Godspeed Jonas.

Multi, have to agree with you, time to upgrade to the 21st century.
And to TheJokerObama - Easy there Brokeback - your team affiliation is clear.
At ease sailor!
