i remember the very first post i read of yours- people were talking about their clothes feeling big, and you said, "a family of 8 moved out of my britches last week". i laughed out loud! we love ya, doyle. sometimes when you and barb get into it i just sit here and grin.
so, a mere "man" cave would suffice? I would think it would need to be a pubah cave!!!
For those not up on the lingo, accepted definition of man cave- basement or other room converted over to suit testosterone driven beings. Requirements include manly colors, beat up but comfy furniture that is beer resistant, gigantic HD TV with all lifetime channels, oxygen channels, and Home and Garden channels locked out, wet bar with fully loaded kegerator, lack of air freshner but constant ode de sweaty tube sock, seat always up on toilet in half bath, which also contains can of industrial strength air freshner, but absolutely NO potpouri!!!!
May also contain pool table, dart board, nascar stuff, etc. Women generally are banned from the area due to their estrogen influence on the whole aura of the room.
Kats actualy a pretty good definition of a man cave from a woman...but you forgot a couple of important details. First it must be a "BIG SCREEN" tv. Second all body noises are allowed or aloud (did you see my play on words there?) and encouraged. Next it is also a sanctuary and much needed bunker and hideaway from the evils of raging hormones (estrogen and the like) Next it is a place where a man can be king of his own domain even if it is a pseudo reality short lived. And finally it is a place where only those testosterone laden individuals get to be in complete control of the remote control. No remote amateurs allowed! Where watching 3 shows at once is allowed and encouraged, especially during commercials. Where the wrong button is never pushed on the remote in the middle of an important scene (such as hitting the channel button when actually "she" was trying to turn up the volume in the climatic scene of a movie you had been watching for the last hour and a half).
I simply cannot believe my lack of foresight when I built my current 4500 Square foot home that I didn''t plan ahead for a man cave! A mistake I will not make twice. Can I get an amen from all the men out there????
Amen x2 and amen again! Mistakes are always for the 'other guy'! Others are just learning experiences! Doing the car show activity this weekend with dau and son-iin-law. Se ya'll later....keith
Keith, yes..those are most needed items for the man cave. And you didn't build one in your home???!!!! Keith!!!! hang your head in shame!!! Surely there is basement space that could be converted to this absolute home requirement. I would think a 4500 sq foot home would require such an amenity!!!! Where were your priorities??? :)))) Barb (now removing tongue from cheek)
Kats, I have a very lovely out door mancave. Outdoor workshop too. In this wonderful oasis, you can do this and ah yes, the fall temps have started to decend upon us! All daily highs are going to be under 3 digits!! T'will be wonderful for the next aprox. 9 months! (July and August kinda suck). Getting the next item for my man (outdoor) kitchen. Kegerator!! (coming soon to this place!)
ahhhh...very good!!! So you live where you can have an outdoor man cave...I am envious!! Of the weather that is, not the man cave :). But the man cave sounds very nice too!! do you have an outdoor big screen TV too? Have to have some reason to consume the beer from that upcoming kegerator!!
Kats, mostly covered! Las Vegas is wonderful most any time of the year. A mister and a fan can even make August and September tolerable! Would even allow some ladies to join in on some occasions. Gotta be careful here GP may wanta whomp me for allowing females in the 'cave'
