It's your "mancave"...do with it what you want to do! (With sincere apologizes to J. G. Wentworth!!)



BTW: You don't want to see mine...a match and a five-gallon jug of gasoline would be the FASTEST way to clear that mess!!!

Not that bad as you can still move around in there.

Better than mine...I no longer have one. I hope to remedy that within the next year or two, though.

"Mancave" is the most gay sounding word to ever be used to describe a garage. At least Homer Simpson had "car hole" which sounds just as bad, but removes the gayness.

You know, you actually might be making some sense here...

Let's see what happens when we try the two different words in a similar sentence...

SENTENCE #1.)
. . . . . ."You know, we could take that thought of yours, fold it into a little 5-pointed star and then have our 1st lesson of "Rectal Origami" by shoving it up your "mancave."

SENTENCE #2.)
. . . . . ."You know, we could take that thought of yours, fold it into a little 5-pointed star and then have our 1st lesson of "Rectal Origami" by shoving it up your "carhole."

I'm not really impressed, nor convinced, that "mancave" has that certain "zing" (if you will) that would make it sound "gay" - I'm thinking more along the lines that "carhole" is a bit more vivid and expressive in suggesting that the size of a particular hole is more believable in the real world of human orifices than a "cave" - unless, of course, your talking about your mother, wife or GF.

But, to each their own and to whatever triggered the "gay" reference here...

BTW: Did someone at work piss in your lemonade this morning?

At least you guys have garages...On one side of my building I have a lake, on the other side a parking lot where "working on cars is prohibited".
