The Man-Cave Post

So............ Im moving.
Yep.... moving in with the lady.
Into a nice little place Downtown Portland.
A place close to work... a place with a decent view...
A place that has all the amenities one needs when laying low from the "ongoing investigation?"

Like those clever eye-hole paintings!
Which are shockingly helpful to know when the coast is finally clear!

.... anyways.....

You see aside from the obvious hiding.....
I am most excited that our new place has an extra large (and unaccounted for) room!

And that's what I wanted to talk with you all about today....
Cause I'm making me a Man Cave!!!

Woo-freekin-hoo!!

Now..... before I get ahead of myself......
The truth is... I am actually only "entering into discussions" with my lady on what exactly to do with this room?

Obviously my vote = Man Cave!
But she's unconvinced......
What???

So I thought in order to trick... er ... persuade her...
I figured I could do some research....
And show her just how wonderful man caves can really be!

Here we go.

First thing I found was..... there are countless various kinds of man caves..... perfect for every home!

And they range from the very nice ones.....

To the "Bank Bailout Money Nice" ones!

But its like I told my girl....
There are always more "affordable options"

I also learned that caves can come in all sorts of "interesting" and fun different themes.....

Like Golf-themed caves...

And Hockey-themed...

And even caves with themes of the more.........well.....

"Under appreciated" sports?

"Man am I learning now"... I exclaimed!
But I needed to learn more......
So after a delicious sandwich I read on....

And found out that caves are often designed specifically to fit each different type of person...
Huh? Who knew?

Like rednecks....
Man you would be surprised how many man caves they have built for them!

Built with all the paranoia and Copenhagen one might expect.....

And then nerds and their man-caves.....
They almost all fantasize about having this Star Wars themed cave built for them..... one day.
(and someone... anyone.... to share it with?)

There are just so many kinds I was finding....
I even stumbled on man caves built specifically...
for the MENTALLY ILL!!!
Which I lovingly call "cozy caves!"
Why?

Cause of all the fluffy padding!!

And then finally...... I found this ......
Guys who built their own "Man Caves".....
Literally.....

Right where the kids swing set used to be!!!!!
And to that I say......

Brilliant!

Anything was better than my current cave...

Cause that cave is just not very spacious!

Well..... I'm not sure if any of this will help but I at least I feel more prepared to have our....
"What to do with the spare room " discussion now.......

Either way I will let you all know what happens...
In truth Im a little worried about it...
Cause there was a mention of making it a "Lady Cave!!!"

A Lady Cave!!!!
I cant even imagine what that would look like?

Anyways I better do some research on that too.....

But I think I will leave "The Secrets Of The Lady Cave Post"...
for later this week!

And no...... !!!

It wont be nearly as dirty as it sounds... sickos!!!!

Well maybe not?

Anyways...... Till then....
Blog ya'll later!

The Groundhog Day Picture Post

Well.... Happy Groundhog Day everybody!!

Its yet again time for the only holiday......
Where we forcefully rustle a rodent out of its home!
And then wait to see if it..... "sees its shadow".....

If it does see its shadow... we get 6 more weeks of winter.
And if it DOESN'T..... spring comes early. Woohoo!!!!

Now I don't know bout you, but personally here in Portland, I am always ready for an early spring!

That's why I've been recently Googling ...
"Ways to blind a groundhog!!"
You know.... for the future!

Anyways..... I decided to wake up early today....

You see I wanted to watch the news live....

And see for myself what happens with that groundhog.

Will it see its shadow?
Will it not?
Oh ya.... I will keep you updated!!

But first..... I have to ask.
Did you get ready for Groundhog Day like I did?
Cause a holiday like this.... requires celebrating!!

Like with cake?

Or with maybe "fun" Groundhog clothing?

Plus...... you know what else is great....
And a favorite at my house....

Groundhog Helper
(Huge in Arkansas!)
Though I must say..... they will tell you it surprisingly tastes absolutely nothing like Hamburger Squirrel.
Who Knew?

Whatever.....

I thought that while I was sitting here..... waiting to see if this dirthog sees its stupid shadow or not...
I could maybe share a few other "shadow" related photos....
You know to kill the time.....

Lets get started shall we?

First off we have the
"Unfortunate Tanning Near A Clothes Line Shadow"
And man is he gonna regret that sunburn!

And then... heres kinda just
"The Sad Reverse Of That?"

And then for all you crazy cat ladies out there.....
Here's this...Which is actually pretty great...
But also... maybe explains why Fluffy always "marked her territory?"

What else.....
Well according to the web searches I did....
Most of the funny shadow pictures I found were sadly "Genitals Related"
And you know what...... COME ON PEOPLE!!!!
We wont show you people doing that here.....
