First off, I hate the name "Man Cave" because it is such a misnomer. Girls also like things that are typically found in these rooms... home bar, pool table, small in-home theater system, collectible crap.
I mean, yeah, my decor would be a bit more diverse than "sports teams" since I only like the Penguins... and it would also be a giant gaming room so lots of shelves for books and miniatures. But the giant screen with the comfy chairs in a mini theater, yeah, I totally want that.
Hopefully, I will get this wish, even if I have to share it with Ben (so, okay, Penguins and Sharks stuff, maybe Kings as well). At the very least, I want a pool table. It's a thing with my family, everyone has a fucking pool table. I should have had one, but we couldn't afford to ship it and had no where to put it, so I gave it to my sister. Meh, I would like a better table anyway. And a dart board. And a mini bowling alley. Yeah, I dream big.
I just think it would be awesome to have not just for us but for any future children. There really isn't much to do here for kids that I have seen and I will die before I let any child of mine turn into a backwoods hillbilly like the ones I see here. The highlight of a county fair is NOT going to be sitting in a small tractor on display or going ape shit over a monster truck. They will NOT be afraid to "go into the city" outside of a sports game. And their idea of a fun afternoon with their friends or dates will sure as hell not be wandering aimlessly around a trailer park.
Yeah, I am going to do my best to raise totally urban children in the country... this should be fun. But that man cave will do wonders I think.
