Don’t have any of those.
Would an $8K turntable and 4,000 LPs do?
I was thinking, moving in the Swedish Bikini Team, but there’s only five of ‘em.
A large garage well stocked with tools and no storage for the “other half.”
Cute article, but none of that applies to me.
That is the wife's job. Once she has the frige and pantry stocked, then we can GRILL!
I know it’s satire, but there is always an underside of truth, to which I say, this man will never reproduce, which is good, ‘cause then he’s out of the gene pool, ‘cause he is fantastically shallow and does not deserve to have a family of his own.
A grand piano, a pool table, some Yuengling in the fridge, and my dog.
I’ll be set.
Diarrhea will keep most at home.
First a wife, who loves me and makes our house into a warm and happy home is the most important thing to keep me happy.
“A well stocked refrigerator and pantry should be on the list as well.”
The only thing on the list I want/need is the grill. I got into grilling in the late 1950’s and used the fire place in our college apartment to grill steaks and other goodies.
I’m about as bad as Arlo in the comics re grilling. Even in our mild but wet California winters, the grill gets fired up several times a week unless we have one of those one week long storms. I use the grills so much that they wear out after 3-4 years. Both sons are great grillers, and the youngest one was a chef for years and gets invited to many grill outs by friends and us, his family members for his great food.
Our tv is a 23+ year old RCA. With Comcast, the picture is great and fact both Comcast guys said the picture was better than most HDs they connected to Comcast. I/we can’t understand the need for the home theatres and expensive large screens tvs. Even with Comcast, their On Demand and what seems like a zillion choices, we have nights last night where there was nothing on until after 10 pm that we wanted to watch. The DVR takes care of the late shows. There is no justification in our minds for a home theatre with the limited choices on tv. Last night our top choice was a hokey Jackie Chan movie before it went off and we went to bed.
TV/electronic games have never appealed to us. Card games like bridge, chess and just talking are our enjoyment outlets.
I have a small office for my computer, reference books and solitude if I need it.
Quickly after marriage, I realized that my wife was in control of the house, let me have my small office, my Lazy Boy in the family room with a couple of magazine/book racks near by and a small table, and the north end of the laundry room for organizing, cleaning and storing my fly fishing gear, and I am happy. In our 2750 square foot home, I use about 220 square feet. Outside storage is basically mine for fishing and kayaking stuff that can’t come inside.
The kitchen is my wife’s, and the only area I really claim/share is for our self grinding/auto coffee pot. When she fixes/preps meals, I stay out and vice versa. She leaves the charcoaling/grilling to me. She is a nice control freak, and has given up on trying to controll me at the grill. I let her run the timing on a couple of meals at the grill and the results were not great. I use our younger son’s reply when she pushes me about the timimg of whatever is on the grill. His reply is the whatever will be done when it is done, I don’t know the time.

Men wants lawns and lawn gadgets, mowers, weedeaters, clippers, etc., so that they will NEVER have to go on a vacation. With those things, they always have the excuse that they “have to cut the grass”.
It would take an indoor shooting range to keep me at home.
Never leave home?
I can’t hunt, fish or camp at home.
I can’t shoot or build a fire in my living room.
I only stay there now because that’s where the wife lives...if I had my druthers, I’d be outside all the time!
In fact, my buddies and I went camping twice this winter...once in December, once in January. Nothing gets rid of cabin fever like sitting around a huge, roaring fire when it’s 17 degrees out!
Beer Delivery....Check!
Where are the power tools? Where is the garage/workshop?
Girly men who would faint at a splinter wrote this list.
