Every man’s dream is a room where he can get away from his wife and just lie back and hang out with a few friends. Since I don’t have a wife, it’s more like I’m getting away from my mom who’s telling me to take the trash out or get my homework done.
So I need a room that is parent proof–a teen nerd’s dream–that cleans itself–just what the man cave doctor ordered.
The first aspect of my fantasy room would be soundproof walls. This would cut out the factor of nosy parents, which would make for a more relaxed environment. Instead of listening to nagging parents, I can recline in a La-Z-Boy with the sound of the hit TV show American Idol showing on my newly-installed 72-inch flat screen.
For me, an almost essential item is a decently-sized poker table in the middle of the room. The table would serve for playing cards, but not the usual games you would think of playing on a poker table. What I have in mind is playing the ever-popular Yu-Gi-Oh card game; I’ll also need some calculators so I can keep up with my life points.
Since the parents aren’t allowed in the room, it’s almost a must to have some kind of supply of food, so the snack shack is a necessary item on the menu. The shack will have an unlimited amount of all the essential munchies that a teenager would ever want. Filled with an infinite amount of Allsup’s famous beef and bean burritos served with bowls of their ranch and taco sauces. To satisfy my sweet tooth, the shack would include a refrigerator full of cheesecakes and banana pudding.
To save room in the fridge for sweets, I’ll upgrade from canned sodas to fountain drinks. I’ll have installed an A&W Root Beer fountain by itself right next to the poker table so as to limit the amount of movement on my part.
Comfort is the key when it comes to my fantasy room, so in front of the 72-inch flat screen sits top-of-the line leather couches. On either side of the couches sit two La-Z-Boy’s which come in handy to just kick back and relax.
All together the main idea of this room is to limit the effort and work that I have to do. Now all I have to do is find something that does my homework for me and a maid.
