The Mona Lisa of Guyā€™s room decorating is if you can get some of those life size standies of hot chicks that Coors gives to liquor stores. Most stores only keep them for a couple months then get rid of them, so ask if you can have it, but ask early cause dibs go early. ---

Pinball. Real, live, big-mother pinball - with all the lights and bells. No substitutes. Extra points given for authentic solenoids-and-motors models, but the digital crap is acceptable. Also, (heathen show hiss age) an old-fashioned trunk-style Coke machine - the lift the lid, slide a bottle through the slots, insert coin, lift bottle through the gate. ---

Old bowling pinsā€¦from a junk shop, EBay, or just get a couple from the bowling alley. EVERY rec space has to have at least one old bowling pin in it. Bonus culture points for obtaining pins from rare bowling games such as Duckpins, Candlepins, Fivepins, etc. ---

Howā€™s about a Nunzilla? Or just about anything from Archie Mcphee? Donā€™t forget enough storage space for your PS2 games. Do you have your own VCR in the room? MY lair has, among other things, a HUGE 4ā€™ x 6ā€™ world map, dating from the 1940s, a crystal skull, a skeleton themed sand timer (must be seen to be believed!), some hand weights next to the computer, and several generations of game consoles. Iā€™ve got some Furbies, as well, but you probably DONā€™T want those in your room. ---

A beer tap for the wet bar, and one of those hula-dancing dolls. Bear-skin rug. Christmas lights. Black light posters & black light. ---

How about if I just describe my husbandā€™s basement room, and you go from there? As mentioned before, thereā€™s a urinal in the bathroom. Heā€™s added Christmas lights around it, for a year-round festive touch. Mounted on the wall in the bathroom is a condom machine (theoretically, this is just for show, but I inventory the contents occasionally just to make sureā€¦) Mounted OVER the urinal is a radio transmitter for an RC airplane. I have no idea why. In the main room, thereā€™s the big screen TV (satellite cable or whatever itā€™s called) with entertainment center, 2 couches and end tables, light-up beer signs, mini-fridge, stereo system hat makes the whole house shake, computer desk & computer, Nordic Track machine, ugly rug, WWII posters and memorabilia (a sign that says LIVE MINES, for example, although I think that one oughta go over the toilet, along with the gas mask heā€™s got over the computer), a gigantic light-up globe on a stand, a buncha bookshelves, wall-mounted bottle opener, industrial size garbage can, and a cigar humidor. He will be adding either a pool table or a skittles table, and heā€™s getting the dartboard for Christmas. ---

**chique** Do you have one on the farm? Iā€™m still trying to talk Mrs. NurseCarmen into the long drive, I could tell her Iā€™m doing research for my basement! **LifeOnWry** Your husband is clearly some sort of Man-God. I wish I had posted before I completed the plumbing. :smack: _urinal!_ A gas mask will certainly be adorning my bathroom wall. Or maybe even on the [butler](http://www.sportsmansguide.com/showad.html?promo_code=WX2&item_id=64201). Where the hell did he find a condom machine!?!? **Lynn Bodini** How could I space _Archee_? I assure you Iā€™ll be perusing that site again. Thanks for kick-starting my brain on that one. **Joe K** Bowling pins, I agree. Cheap (free!) and can hold up to target practice with large caliber weaponry. I must get me a box-a-pins. **MikeG** I am not worthy. Nor wealthy šŸ˜ƒ **Wartime Consigliori** I suck at darts. My wife sucks at darts. my 2YO sucks at darts. plastic tips for safety. I must agree, plastic/electric is a bit of a cop out. ---

Condom machine, if you can believe it, was a gift from his two elderly aunts, who cadged it off a guy who was closing his bar. But, you can buy 'em on eBay too. Maybe Iā€™ll get him a butler, too. I saw one in the Paragon catalogue. ---

A gun rack of some kind is a necessity. You donā€™t have to put firearms in itā€¦ golf clubs, paintball guns, swordsā€¦ whatever. Just a gun rack. Donā€™t forget a hideously huge souvenier ceramic beer stein. Toolbox, can of WD-40 and some duct tape. ---

**Beatles** bass drum head on my wall, flanked by posters of the fab four. Whereā€™d you get the velvet **Elvis**? I live in Georgia, and up until a few years ago, you could find 'em being sold alongside the highway, but I havenā€™t seen 'em in quite some time. Q ---

Youā€™ll need one of those sand-weighted blowup punching figures for when your team loses, the kind that always right themselves to 82 degrees.
