I would imaging that the top 3-4 slots would be occupied by the man's beer gut portable, low-density grain storage facility. Not as reasons, just that it takes up that much space. :-)

Did they find any hot pockets in that microwave? Because if I'm watching a marathon, I've got to have me some junk food.
