    I don't hate it...it's just a little stale at this point.

    Quoted from shimoda:

    So it gets dark, it's not damp and musty

    Neither are a lot of caves, and I am offended by you characterizing them that way!

    #20 7 years ago
    Quoted from vid1900:

    Because "Girl Grotto" sounds so much better.

    I wish my "man cave" made the bally playboy grotto sound every time I walked in it.

    Quoted from o-din:

    You have to wonder if someone like that doesn't swing both ways though.

    Don't confuse a Man's Cave with the Bear's den.

    Or do...and live a little.

    Quoted from o-din:

    A basement?

    I think you guys call them "Mines."

    Quoted from foureyedcharlie:

    Mancave reminds me of guys wearing penny loafers and khakis while riding their Harley.

    Would you rather they buy an already faded leather or denim jacket with a spider batch on the back?

    Quoted from sckurk:

    but a name I dis-like more is "she-shed".

    Yeah I didn't hear this till recently. Looks like it's here to stay.

    Quoted from kayluh:

    Girls are younger than 18.

    I think that's 16 in Washington

    Quoted from Blackjacker:

    I know a dude that calls his basement the "Testosteroom."

    This is actually common these days. It's all "bro!" this and "Testosteroom" that.

    Then he probably goes down with his crafts and glues dolls all over his games

    Quoted from sevenrites:

    It insinuates guys are barbaric cave men with primitive skills and poor communication or social qualities in my opinion. I think I've got more class than that.

    I don't know if you do sir...you seem to have a very low opinion of cavemen
