I've always been meaning to ask what the deal is with this chick.  Is she eating her tie or is she bleeding

I thought it was a picture of Grace.

A green wasabi color does pretty good in an office.


also, man rooms are stupid.

Man rooms are not stupid if your fiancee doesn't like 75% of your male friends and 100% of your male friends have problems cleaning up after themselves and not spilling crap everywhere. 

The man room was her idea, not his - just to keep his friends the f*ck away from the rest of the house.

that just sounded really depressing, depressing enough to create a room.  i think this thread will epitomize the relationship.  think about  it

So I talked him into doing 3 walls grey and filling up the entire other wall with this:



It has this special tape on the back that will keep it on the wall, or you can wallpaper it on.  We're going with the tape option.

What also might look cool would be to separate the three pieces from 3 to 6 inches apart.  The gap creats and interesting negative space that functions like a positive space.

I like the concept. If you go that way, take a pic and post it.

We're already having to cut off 5 inches to have it fit the wall width wise, so I think we're going to leave it like a mural.

My general problem is two fold.

1)  I hate the idea of "manliness" in today's world.  You know who was manly?  My grandfather, both of them in fact.  If, when you say the words, "back in my Nazi fighting days" and you're referring to an XBox, you're not "Manly".  In point of fact, I defy anyone of my generation to prove to me that they are more manly than Chris Kimball


And I'm not kidding.  He's an old school farmer, cook, and family man. 
Half the shit that gets passed off as "manly" makes me think my -very- mild mannered grandfather would just roll his eyes and keep about his business.

2)  "Man rooms" breed exclusion.  I understand, your friend's wife hates his friends.  A man room isn't the way to fix that.  Instead it gives the appearance that a part of that house isn't the wife's.  I always hear shit like "well, she's got all these floofy pillows and stuff in the living room and bedroom, I need a place where I can be a man."  Fuuuuuck you, douchey mcdoucherson, grow a spine, talk to your wife and learn to compromise.  You're not being a man by avoiding your problems.

I'm probably a huge douche by your standards. I've got most of my toys in the basement, and my wife doesn't go down there much. It's colder than the rest of the house, and she doesn't care to watch me play video games. We have many differing interests. I don't want to listen to her talk on the phone, or watch Grey's Anatomy with her.
I don't think that's avoiding a "problem". We both get what we want. Plus, neither of us want to spend all of our time together. Maybe you've got that kind of relationship, but I need some time to be alone.

There's nothing wrong with having your own space.  Nesh and I both have our offices.  Hers is full of books and her computer, mine has my computer, my tv and my video games.  But it's still a shared area, it's not like I'm hanging a "no girlz allowed" sign.  There are definitely times when you don't want to be around someone full time.  Especially in a cohabitation situation.  Nesh and I decided when we moved in together that no matter the house, we'd both have a place that was essentially our own.  However, at no time is she unwelcome.   

You're a douche for other reasons.

Also, you still have an xbox live account?

yes, gamertag eo000.

Do you sometimes do things that you think will keep her out of your area? I have.

[Alice]

Oh, there are definitely girls allowed.  Hell, I'll be down there a lot.  She will be too, for movies and such.  But I think it's more for the football days and days they want to watch UFC, she isn't really forced to be around them like they are in their small apartment.  The term man room is used really loosely with them.

I spent all day cleaning our new house's garage. It has probably gone 40 years without anyone brushing away the accrued spider webs and spider eggs from the walls and ceiling. My wife spent the day cleaning the interior of the house.
