"I have a dream" Mancave Speech

Coach RichCoach Rich
in Community Forum 🏠

I was giving a friend a hard time about how he's outnumber 3/1 by girls in house (4yo twin girls) and is kidding himself if he thinks he has control of anything.

He was bored at work, check it out below:



And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.

 

THAT ALL MEN, WHETHER THEY HAVE TWIN SONS OR TWIN DAUGHTERS, CAN ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF A PLACE WHERE A MAN CAN BE A MAN, AND NO WOMEN ARE ALLOWED. 

 

THAT ALL MEN ARE FREE TO PUT THEIR FEET UP, TURN ON A BALLGAME, AND CRACK OPEN A BEER, WITHOUR FEAR OF RETRIBUTION, INSULT, OR HARASSMENT.

 

THAT ALL MEN, WHETHER THEY ARE FANS OF ROCK N' ROLL, HIP-HOP, OR COUNTRY MUSIC, CAN LISTEN AT A VOLUME HE DEEMS APPROPRIATE WITHOUT BEING TOLD TO....TURN THAT SHIT DOWN.

 

I HAVE A DREAM TODAY!!!

 

THAT ALL OF GODS CREATURES, BLACK MEN AND WHITE MEN, JEWS AND GENTILES, PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS, RUNNERS AND CYCLISTS, DOGER FANS AND GIANTS FANS WILL BE ABLE TO SIT TOGETHER, IN THEIR MAN CAVES, AWAY FROM WOMEN, AND SING THE WORDS.... 

 

FREE AT LAST....FREE AT LAST

 

THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, WE ARE FREE AT LAST!

    As as husband and father of 2 daughters I second that.

    I'm outnumbered 2 to 1. I need a mancave AND a pain cave.

    I live in a man cave.  They live the dream here everyday.

    I second that!  Basement=mancave complete with bench press in family room, dog kennel+ dawg, chin up bar in laundry room entrance, two man bedrooms, exbox, tv, computers, loud music on demand.......and the man list goes on.  My second born said to me one day, " I love this house!"  Guess that is what it is all about   One more thing though, how bout a girlcave for me

    It's like a parallel universe! I swear to you, my life takes up 3 square feet in my house. The rest is mancave. They have even complained about the flowers on the wallpaper in the kitchen yesterday.

    That's hilarious. My pain cave consists of about 5 square feet in the corner of the basement. That's it!

  • manconamancona
    I'm also out numbered now 2-1, but the entire basement is still my man cave and pain cave ... they have taken over the rest of the house though. I'm glad the basement is unfinished because they don't like going down there :-)

    Dearest Linda, at least you get flowers on the wallpaper!!  I wouldn't try that and get away with it   And speaking of square footage of girl space....yep about 3 square feet sounds about right.  Remember pics of pain cave in mojo thread, pain cave is in my bedroom with bike about 3 inches from my bed!  Boys comment though when I ride  said bike on trainer in girl cave, they say, "mom, could you keep the sound down because it's like the house is shaking".  What can a girl do

    we finished ours a few years ago. big mistake.

  • charrischarris

    AMEN!  Get it?  Men?  Err, nevermind.

    ANYWAY, I chuckled at this thread because every time I see "pain cave" in the forums, my brain autocorrects to "mancave" since that's what we've always called it.  All of my old bachelor days black leather furniture is in there (including a lava lamp to keep it really real), guitars, etc. - but now the drainer and dreadmill are there too.

     

    Funnily enough, I finally managed to get the manpaincave (ironmanpaincave? IMPC?) finished up last week - just as winter ends and I finally get to get the hell out of there (fine with me!):


     

    I'd post a picture facing the other direction but it's a little messier that way...

    Craig,

    If you ask me, that's WAAAAY too nice to be a man cave. A grown-up-evolved-metrosexual-tasteful cave, but I dunno about man cave. Either that, or living with all these men has brough my standards to a new low I hadn't even realized. I think you need to fix that up and re-shoot the picture with socks, boxers, ditry jocks, towels, and shoes all over. Shoes must be over size 10, preferably in the size 12 range. Then we will re-assess.  

    Razzin' ya. That's a real nice space.

    A lava lamp?????

  • rpc733rpc733

    That's hysterical! My 8 year old son wants a LAVA LAMP for his birthday!! I just don't know if I can go back.

    Outnumbered 3-1 as well. We don't have a basement though so their stuff is just everywhere - all the time, which I don't mind so much. The TV running non-stop though is another matter. Now, if I could only figure out how we go through so darn much toilet paper in a house with only 1 female! Probably better not to know image
  • michaelpd101michaelpd101
    I can totally understand this one. Outnumbered 3-1 in the house and even when we got the two dogs they were both female! I am banished to the unfinished basement for my paincave and there are about 100 stuffed animals that surround me there even. Very nice space Craig but if you keep it like that you are going to get pushed out of there!

    Hahahaha! Yep, don't ask

  • Cary BlancoCary Blanco
    Craig, is that a tobacco burst 335 in the corner?
  • Michele CellaiMichele Cellai
    Craig- I had to LOL at Linda's assessment of your man cave, since it is exactly what I was thinking, but am not eloquent enough to put into words.

    Since it is just Max and I, he gets the side of the room farthest from the door. He makes as much of a mess as he wants and I say nothing because I am not tripping over it. Only when he starts to overflow and the way to the door is compromised do I suggest cleaning. We share the pain cave, so no blame there.

    @Kathy- The whole TP thing is a mystery. I am baffled by it myself and there is only 1 man here!

    To the suggestion that I'm metrosexual, all I have to say to you is "LAVA LAMP".  And by way of explaining it, LSD (the other LSD) is the only way I can handle 5 hours on the trainer.  Just kidding - I'd never do that.  5 hours is way too long on the trainer.

    To defend my honour, here is what it looks like facing the other way:



     

    If you like playing Where's Waldo, see if you can find:

    -Scotch

    -Sake

    -An LP

    -A baby monitor

    -Harry Potter collection

    -One of those pin art things (package deal with the lava lamp)

    -The shirt I should have ironed but didn't because I was riding instead

    -An "Art of Rock" book

    -The telltale garish green of  a Kurt Kinetic

     

    Unfortunately the shoes and associated workout laundry are hidden from view behind the couch.

     

    As proof of my shoe-manliness, I will share the note I found in my office the other day from my loving and mainly patient wife:


     

    @Cary - good eye!  I bet if it wasn't obscured you would have correctly guessed that it's actually a 339 - the little brother to the 335.  Relatively new acquistion - love it!

    newsflash, it's not about mycave or yourcave. make it ourcave and everyone wins. image guess i have to think that way b/c our house is so small, but my mancave is my exercise time, don't have the funds or space to carve out a special place for my toys to live. My kids have toys...
  • DCorsoDCorso

    Amen!  It won't be long before the girls kick me out of the house.

    GONG! Metrosexual status NOT revoked. Ironing board out ranks lava lamp. I need not say more.

      Agreed!

  • mariannemarianne

    This post is funny!  I have four sons, a husband, two male hamsters and a male dog!  I have one daughter.

     

    Basically the way I view it, is that he has three females to dote on him!  not bad.  !    the smart guyz here in Da Haus know that if you treat a female well, we are your biggest fan/cheerleader.  m
