Something I always like to do versus Caro Kann players (who aim for a solid middle game setup, is frighten them with this:
Plan:
1. Castle on kingside
2. Push f-pawn for open rook file on king
3. Push g-pawn if you cant push f-pawn
4. Push h-pawn if you cant push g pawn to push f pawn.
5. Get open lines
6. Mate the black king.
Pro's:
1. You get a strange, wild position, especially in the dreadful Caro Kann.
2. Caro Kann players panic
Con's:
1. Black should be able to defend if played correctly.
2. You might insult your opponent if he likes solid play (but then again, thats why you pick such a line, hue hue hue hue)

Most fun in blitz.
This is a foolish line. Also after 6.Qxd3 Qa5+-a6 is a well-known motif for black to bore you to death in a midgame or to deny you of easy castling.
