The Mouseling is a girl and due in September. Mouse\_Spouse and I have at least 13 years (I hope) to design and decorate a den where Spouse can scare the crap out of potential suitors. (If I’m still in the rodent wrangling business, I’ll be plenty scary. _Dad works on firewalls. Mom breeds and kills rats and mice_.) Thoughts we’ve had: Spouse’s broadsword mounted on the wall. High enough to be seen, low enough to be used. 😃 A big, dark wooden desk with a big leather chair – I think my beloved has an inner Super-Villain. We need books with scary titles. Maybe along the lines of Disembowelment Made Simple and Fun or How to Flay Anything. Any suggestions? Please, we need your help! ---

You can’t go wrong with the classics: _The Art of War_ by Sun Tzu and Machiavelli’s _The Prince_. Both very good for supervillains. Find something by Aleister Crowley and a bunch of H.P. Lovecraft, and he’ll either scare the boys away, or they’ll want to be his minions. ---

My sister’s SO has what they call “the man room” in their apartment. He’s a hunter, and a fairly good one at that, so the signature pieces in the room are the two deer heads on the walls. I seem to remember them being roughly the size of Buicks, but that might have been a side effect of the stupid glass eyes following you around the room. Both the heads have big racks, which my sister likes to hang things from, like twinkle lights. But that’s not very manly, so it only happens at Christmas. They really are creepy as hell. They’re hung on either side of the computer desk, so when you’re sitting at the computer, you look up and the deer is watching you. You enter the room, and the deer is watching you. The only way this could be more intimidating is if it was the head of a creature that could eat you – say a boar or a bear. Or a moose, because those things are huge. ---

I don’t have a daughter. But I do have a den. On my den’s wall is a picture of the Stanley Cup-winning 1967 Toronto Maple Leafs, autographed by one of the players on that team. I also have a portrait shot of one of the players on that team holding the Stanley Cup. Autographed to me, naturally. With these pictures on the wall behind me, I’d challenge any of my (hypothetical) daughter’s suitors to tell me that the Maple Leafs suck. You can substitute a team and sport of your choosing, but this approach might be something your husband would enjoy looking into. > [@](#): > > A big, dark wooden desk with a big leather chair… Put a cigar humidor on the desk. Even if the humidor contains nothing (or better–it contains one big cigar that your husband can pull out, not offer to the young man, and wave around without lighting), it can be intimidating. ---
