51. I only quickly scanned the bottom shelf..
Kelly's Irish is beer, strong stuff. The Sam Adams Honey Wheat is also beer, but it's weak fruity sweet swill.

I like big old- fashioned ratty, resonant non-electronic drums myself, but to each his or her own.



I tease the teens I know (most of whose parents were in Indie bands) and like all the Rock Band accoutrements, that they should simply get some real instruments, and start playing them!

And no pool table.

And the walls are too clear of signs, posters, sports gear, etc.

52. Where's the neon beer sign?
It's a good start, but my grandfather's Man Cave sets the standard for my harsh judging. Converted basement with a full bar (6 stools), he was the envy of the volunteer fire department, a must-do stop after putting out the fire, rescuing the kitten, or whatever else it was that they said they were doing.

70. We have a conflict of terms here.
I believe pokerfan wants a Gentleman's Retreat: Eames chairs, minimalism metal desk and book cases, the latest high tech electronics, the finest single malts and vintage wines, black leather couch, accomplishments tastefully framed on the wall, oriental rugs on the polished hard wood floor. You know, a room where women can enter and not go "gaaaaaack" then beat a fast retreat.

Man Cave brings to mind the insight "Men can be bears with furniture." A Man Cave should bring the owner back to his primal roots: Dark, dank, stone or stone like, crude pictures and drawings on the walls, bones from a long forgotten feast scattered on the floor, the trophies from The Great Home Depot and Auto Parts Hunt, huge jugs of the sacred libation BERE ready when his buds, Noneck, Ahole, Guss, shamble over to bellow vindictive and curses at the judges of the Rite of Futbal as it plays out on the Magic Box.
