    You are asking the wrong crowd.  He is not aiming to impress us.

    Do the women he brings home like it?  When I was single impressing the ladies was 1st, my friends a distant 4th.

    Ridiculous...his wall, his sign in his home...nobody else's effing business. Try to tell me how to decorate my own house and the only other thing you will see there is the door.
    Perhaps his mother gave it to him and what is more manly than keeping mom happy?
    Perhaps a potential girlfriend gave it to him and he is trying to make her happy?
    Perhaps it makes him happy?
    Perhaps I really don't care either way.

    Still not ok!!
    Sure it is. Again, not your house.
    Wouldn't it have been easier to just say "hey, I have this sign too!"?

    personally, I think man caves are over-rated. I prefer to think I own the whole Castle. Yes, she has her space, but it is still my Castle and I am King.

    My favorite artist. Met him and his wife Wendy several years before he died. Don't know why Blue Dog appealed to my wife and I but it does. Ever see the Blue Dog Hawg?

    @onedbguru and Hibby, my man cave is the whole basement, but I have say of what goes on the main house top.  The man cave to me is a place to get away from the wife and kid, but the kid has invaded mine with is toys.  I just thought the poster was funny and would be interesting to see what people think. I am currently building my home theater in one part of it so all will enjoy it.

    @epcotisbest that BlueDigHog is very cool!  My wife and I both love his art.  My wife is who showed me my first Blue Dog while we were in New Orleans.

    Pretty neat you got to meet him!

    Myself and other real men, would take that sign down off the wall, take it out back, hang it up backwards and spray paint a bulls eye on the back, then use it for archery practice. 
    After that. push it back another 600-700 yards and dial in our scopes with our 7mm.
    After that we would light it, wait for good smoke, and cook bacon while swilling copious amounts of bourbon.
    That shtuff should never hang on a wall, unless it was there to conceal a picture of you, while wearing an apron (which clashes with your shirt an pants, assuming you would be wearing them) standing in front of  a Ford, with a Yeti on it, while holding a glass of wine.
    Even then, when people see it, they will know something has gone horribly wrong in your life for you to feel that needs to be placed on a wall on the home in which you live. 
    It does make sense to put it on a wall on the inside of the home. Fewer people will know about your issues.
    If it were outside, people would avoid that house like the plague, the children would have nobody to play with, and everybody's house in the neighborhood would see their property value go down.
    Trust me on this one. A picture of Elvis, painted on black velvet would be an adequate replacement. I got one for every room.

    Thanks for the laughs guys! 

    My buddies and I meet up at the bar to tip back a few beers and shoot darts. After darts we jumped in a cab back to my friends place. Once back at my buddies I walked into the kitchen and missed the poster when walking by it. So I'm sitting at the kitchen island waiting for my knucklehead friends to get Tropic Thunder pulled up on tv when this chick poster comes out of nowhere! Whoa!!! I say to my buddy, "Are you serious?" and he goes "What?". "What's up with that chick poster on the wall?" He goes "Whatever". I said,  "You didn't buy that did you?" He went on to say that he bought it at Menards. (Like that was going to change anything) I quickly reminded him Menards are for tools and lumber and not chick accessories. My only guess for the poster is that he's trying to make his place look nice. He just bought his first house 4 months ago so he's updated his bachelor style apartment setup. New leather couches, dinner table and chairs, bigger flat screen tv, audio system etc. So maybe he bought it thinking that it would work with his new gear and make the room look nice? I'm not sure because he has a Nascar flag hung on one wall and a Sports Illustrated swim suit calendar on the other. My couple other friends didn't think it was too strange. So I had fun with it. I kept using the words that are used in the poster in sentences throughout the night. I'm thinking he probably didn't know better. For example, my buddies and I went to the gun range to shoot guns last weekend. During the drive over to the range I hear my one buddy say to my other buddy with the poster: Are you "fricken" wearing dress shoes to the gun range?" Sure enough he's wearing some black glossy dress shoes with blue jeans and a Nascar hoodie. Like I mentioned earlier, we all give each other crap and been friends with these guys since 8th grade. All in fun. But I had to make sure that this poster crossed the man card line! =)

    The good news is even if he gets mad at you according to the poster he will forgive quickly.  Of course things will take an awkward turn if he tries to love you deeply.

    When I was single my mantle had obscure beer bottles, handmade steins, art from overseas, etc. I had no blinds in any room nor drapes. I did have a Large "Footprints" hanging picture (it was my Grandmother's) and a medium sized picture of "New Day" (it was my Father's). These "things" didn't bring or shy woman away. Nowadays the bottles have been replaced with family photos and memories...Steins still remain as does some of the artsy stuff. Your friend is fine. Maybe it's you that needs to evaluate his own manliness. Your friend seems to be comfortable in his own skin and probably gets all kinds of squirrel single or not. I see no problem with it and I'm a critical di¢khead of most things.

    I'm not sure you would want to get involved with any woman that thought this is ok for his house. Too much baggage. If they need a constant pep talk, they ain't my kinda gal.

    @pgprescott You might be reading into this too far.  Something that was probably picked up at Kohls, a mall kiosk, etc. 
    Edit: @WeberWho Even better than what I guess listed... Menards :lol: 
    I'd bust his chops too. LoL

    I am kidding of course. I really hope someone doesn't get too pissed at my piling on. I could really care less about the sign. I am intentionally using hyperbole.
