The Mancave

For the past nine years, I’ve been filling my “man cave” with “man cave stuff”. I went upstairs last night to start packing and, after two hours of moving stuff around, came back downstairs worn out.

To the right are games, and toys, and junk.

To the left are more toys, computers, and more junk.

The back wall holds “overflow” DVDs that I didn’t have room for downstairs. The entire middle section consists of horror movies. To the left are things the kids either wouldn’t or shouldn’t watch. To the right are box sets, computer/videogame-related DVDs, and Nintendo games. Most of my other video game cartridges have been stored for quote some time now.

A gaggle of Yodas watches over the room.

PC games, Star Wars-related games, and more old computer games.

More Star Wars toys overseeing the room.

Through the closet lies more attic storage.

Old computers.

Boxes of stuff, and boxes with no stuff.

God help me.

  • And in one corner… Mr. Moonpie!

    I always wondered what a “group” of Yoda’s was considered now I know!

  • Sue Buhr

    Maybe if I show these pics to Anakin he will get the idea of picking all his star wars stuff up and organize it on shelves. Or he will get the idea that he doesn’t have enuf stuff and want to go get more. hmmmmmm……

    @Jeff: I think “Yoda” is like “Lego” in that the word cannot officially be pluralized, but we do it anyhow. ;)

    @Koos: YES!! I love my Internet peeps!!

    Love the Starflight box, Rob.

  • Mr. Moonpie should be the last thing out of the old mancave, and the first item to enter the new one. (That’s a tradition I observe whenever moving with a certain strange stuffed animal in my possession, anyway.)

    You know, at one point I had actually considered getting rid of Mr. Moonpie, but after three people have mentioned him (two here, one on Facebook) … HE STAYS FOREVER.

    (And thus, the problem …)

  • You are good sir, indeed, screwed.

  • Rob

    But in a good way, right?

    Right?

    Get rid of Mr. Moonpie? ( he asks with incredulity) Madness! The upcoming move has placed too much stress upon your nerves! Ever since that book came out Mr. Moonpie has become an international celebrity.

    Hey, lookit all them Commodores stacked up!

    I have most of those Star Wars computer games, the same VHS tapes and the awesome soundtrack CDs for all the 3 films. I also save every box like you in case I need to ship something!
