Mantuary Of The Month: October 2008

Posted on November 12th, 2008 by The Founding Father

BUY MANTUARY GEAR!

Thanks to everyone who sent in submissions to our first Mantuary Of The Month contest. It was great to get such a good response and tough to pick a winner, but since there can be only one, October’s MOTM goes to Adam from Pennsylvania.

mantuary of the month october 2008

What we liked about Adam’s Mantuary was the leather couch (probably left over from his days as a bachelor), dim lighting, electric guitar, and Man’s best friend. Pure and simple, it captures the solitude and peace of mind that embodies the true spirit of a Mantuary, in direct contrast to the bastardization of the concept currently being promoted by the HGTV network under the guise of mancaves.

Congratulations once again to Adam, winner of October’s Mantuary Of The Month and some cool Mantuary gear. Keep sending in those entries. We’ll pick another winner next month and every month thereafter, so until then…

Be A Man.

    Is mine eligible for next month’s contest, or are winners picked from new submissions received every month?

    I like this one. I now regret neglecting to include my dog Winnie in my pic.

    Muskrat- Submissions not picked are automatically re-entered for consideration the following month.

    Yeah, throwing the dog in there was almost cheating- its almost a guarenteed victory. The fishing poles, snowboard, gaming system, guitar, and golf clubs didn’t hurt either. But hey, there’s always next month- and maybe we’ll be giving away Mantuary Pint Glasses by then.

    Thanks for the history of the term “man cave.” Does “Mantuary” originate with you?

    Rick-
    Welcome to The Mantuary. “The Mantuary” was originated by me- many many years ago.

    There’s a lot of topics covered here so the easiest way to get a grip on what were all about is to read the origins of The Mantuary:

    and why its that much better than a mancave:

    So spread the good word of The Mantuary, comment at will and dont forget to…
