Three years ago, Samuel, his cousin, his brother-in-law and a host of friends started building a cabin on some family land in Oklahoma. They named it "The Ponderosa."
By Samuel's admission, it's more like a shack. It has no power, no plumbing, a leak in the roof and it's already been set on fire once.
Struggling to find the allure? Samuel admits it's not for everyone. He's never shown the place to his wife.
Every time he and his friends go to the cabin, they have to chase hornets, snakes and other varmints out of the building. Once a cow died in the creek behind the cabin and it stank for weeks.
"You want to talk man caves, this place is a total cave," said Samuel.
I, too, have a man cave where I live. Lots of leather chairs and books about wars across time.
I live alone in a one bedroom apartment. The plumbing works, there's a grocery store 2 blocks from here, 13 bars within 3 blocks, and I get free internet from one of the businesses next door. Oh, and I can get pizza delivered.

I need no cave.
i'm on the same page as him, only the bars are slightly further away and i have to pay for my internet.
but the pizza place a couple of blocks away makes calzones almost as big as my torso for less than $15, and i can get garlic butter sauce instead of marinara. that's win, right there.

I can also get Chinese delivered, but the only place in town that delivers gave me food poisoning.
