There it was, in The News Tribune out of Tacoma, not far from where I live, the article about the 2,300-square-foot man cave created by 57-year-old Gordon Robinson. The cave houses $150,000-worth of memorabilia and cars in what he calls “Guytopia”. The cave, located in Lakewood, Wash., includes Robinson’s 1941 Willys Pro-Street hot rod, 1965 Pontiac GTO and 1966 Chevrolet El Camino. Despite what you may think, Robinson’s $100,000 man cave has helped the fellow preserve his 27-year marriage. Wife Debbie has her own private TV lounge, kitchen and craft room elsewhere in the home.

You can read more about the cave at the online edition of The News Tribune. I thought I’d take advantage of this recurring topic to show a few other examples of caves and the right gear for the job.

Snoop doggy den

For real and for true, this is the rapper Snoop Dog’s man cave, complete with a leather couch to comfort the afflicted. You can find plenty of man caves of the rich and nefarious at the Do It Yourself Network.

Back to the cave, Robin

You’d never guess that this unique bat cave is in Australia. Odee.com reports that this den of ubiquity is populated with a CEDIA award-winning hi-fi system, a pneumatic sliding door and a ten-foot curved screen for catching up on the latest episodes of the caped crusader.

Table for two

Inside the man cave, all furniture is functional. Looking for the top designs in ping-pong tables for your lair? Try the Stiga STS 275 Table Tennis Table, with performance grade net and posts, rolling wheels, and steel support aprons at a steal for $623.91. Check it out at the Man Cave Store.

Have yourself a ball

Every man cave needs a skeeball set, and ICE  has created the perfect home version of Iceball, now reduced by $500 to the asking price of $4, 431.80. The balls themselves resemble globes of ice.  Oh, yeah!

Grunt, grumble, chortle and guffaw. Pass the Buffalo wings, dude!
