My wife has transit rights, to reach the lower basement and the beer fridge.

Quite right too, how else do you get your glass refilled?

I'd refill mine from a man cooler sat on a man table next to my man chair.

Our whole house is a damn man cave. Its full of men and I am a lone female trying to carve a space of nice pretty things amongst a sea of beer cans and dirty socks. :'(

We suffer from "metastatic man cave disease" here. It started with a den full of Eric's junk, then his junk multiplied and metastasized to take over the garage, and now it is creeping into an extra bedroom!!!

Is it in the early stages of hoarding? Can it be cured???

No cure is needed, all the stuff in the man cave is there for a reason, and has a purpose.

Right fellas?

In the garage all the stuff appears to be there for the creation of "black widow spider habitat restoration". Black widow spiders really enjoy nesting in old computers.

You've not seen "metastatic man cave disease" until you've seen this house. I just drape flowery tablecloths over the worst of it and hope no one notices.

Maybe Eric is working on an anti-spider computer habitation device and requires the old computers for testing.

If such is the case, and it tests successfully, and Eric patents the device and then makes billions of dollars off of it, you will be the first person I invite to visit us on the private island I will buy with all of Eric's lovely new money!!!

I think ES that I can relate to that a little bit. When My Grandsons visit its like that Jeremy charcater in the Zits cartoon.
They seem to destroy the guest room in minutes. I guess their Idea of a man cave is clothes and bedsheets thrown asunder and soda cans and chips bags dispersed willy nilly. Drives me crazy.

I haven't been upstairs since Christmas morning... and on the few occasions my daughter and my sister have returned from there... they've had a... hunted expression in their eyes... I'm thinking of never going up there again... :)

My man cave is a two bed semi detached house, but then i am a bachelor.

Surprising how stuff just tends to pile up - not litter, that goes in the bin - stuff like cardboard boxes, old instruction manuals, trinkets waiting to find a home. Then every few months i have to attack it with a shovel, another box of the useful stuff goes in the attic, and the binmen wonder why my regular one recycling bag has suddenly grown to seven.

This probably goes some way to explaining why i'm still a bachelor. :)

Wow, your very own no-mans land. Is there a sign at the top of the stairs reading "There be dragons here!" ?

What? Not the usual "Abandon All Hope. All Who Enter."

I can refill it myself, or wait till hell freezes over (so I've been told).

Which makes me think of nomenclature (pardon the thread drift). The "beer fridge" holds a lot more than beer, but everybody I know in North America knows exactly what I mean when I use that term. Same with the "man cave", my wife has a lot of books and DVDs on the shelves, even the two grown and moved on kids left some books behind. But still it is the "man cave".

Similarly we have a "living room" and a "family room". The family lives in both, from time to time. Reminds me of the old Firesign Theatre sketch, where the butler tells a visitor that they can wait in the sitting room or sit in the waiting room.

One that may be unique to us is the name we give to the attached garage when it becomes the overflow cool food storage area around Christmas time. We call it "the walk in fridge".

Currently a large part of our living room floor is taken over by a collection of cardboard boxes connected by tunnels that my husband created for the cats. Its been that way since Christmas.

I think it will stay that way for a while yet.

My "sewing room" is a folding table I bring out. I used to have space for it in the living room, but now it is taken up by the new cat play area.

LOL....I can relate to that.

Its a beautiful sunny day and my oldest boy has decided to clean up the "man-basement" before he brings his new girlfriend over to visit.

I can hear him swearing and cursing as realises just how disgusting him and his step-brothers are. lol.
