Does anyone know of any way to attach a shelf to a mirrored wall (in the bathroom, you perverts) without destroying the mirror?

I kind of suspect I'm SOL on this one.

NOTE: REMOVING THE MIRROR IN QUESTION IS NOT AN OPTION. IF YOU CHANGE THE HYPO, YOU CHANGE THE ANSWER, AND YOUR ANSWER WILL BE WRONG. WRONG MEANS INCORRECT. INCORRECT MEANS UNHELPFUL AND ANNOYING, AND YOU LOOK LIKE AN ASSHOLE.

NOTE: WHEN THE HYPO IS INCOMPLETE OR INFORMATION IS INADEQUATE, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE NEEDED. IF YOU DON'T TELL ME ENOUGH ABOUT THE SITUATION, I CAN'T ANSWER.

Is the entire wall mirrored? Are you just looking for one shelf? What will it hold? Are there obstacles to something that is freestanding on the floor?

If there is no other alternative whatsoever, like a freestanding set of shelves you anchor to the floor or ceiling, the answer is .....
POWER TOOLS (click on power tools from main menu). Yes, glass can be drilled. But it requires great patience, because you have to go slowly with a diamond bit, but I, at least find it quite satisfying at the end. But, when you're done, screw away.

BY THE WAY, THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP ON THE COMPUTER NETWORKING. IF I WEREN'T THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY, I'D BE WILLING TO BRING MY DIAMOND BIT DRILL OVER, BUT SINCE I AM SO FAR AWAY, MAYBE YOUR PAINTER HAS ONE.

Multiple stories seem appropriate, but I'll limit to three short ones:

St. Patrick's day, Chicago, visting friends and go out on town. Woke up the next morning in jail. Never fully understood the charges, and have no memory of what actually happened, but luckily got an Irish judge. Friends looked at me strangely for a while, but never filled me in. Ever.

New Years Eve, while in college. OK, maybe News Years Eve shouldn't count. But this was a bit much. Proposed certain activities to woman who then informed me she was sleeping with my father. Not that she was entirely adverse to such activities. Mom and Dad split up a couple years later.

New Years Eve, also in college. Proposed to sister's cute friend. She said yes. Moments later, fell through plate glass. Bled profusely.

I don't drink much any more.

Well, the Hank Step wasn't really necessary, I thought, and given the theme of posts over the last couple days, I figured the condom should be placed on the bar even before hellos were exchanged. No offense.

Okay, if you can hold your hand over her mouth while she's blowing you, then you're even smaller than Slave says you are, and that's really, really small.

That article gave no useful information. How am I supposed to know which restaurant to avoid because they serve cold sandwiches?

Damn. That's not embarrassing, that's humiliating.

Something very similar happened to me, though. It didn't happen around a holiday, however. And it wasn't the girl, but rather her mother who may or may not have been involved with Dad (in retrospect, I think not, but there were rumors, and she was more aware of them than I at the time).

When I was in law school, I spent an hour at my parents' Christmas party making fun of an ex-girlfriend as a great dating embarrassment (I was being mean, I was being petty, and I was being very, very funny), only to find out that one of my father's co-workers wasn't at the party because he was on his honeymoon with the same ex-girlfriend - whom he had left his wife for. I felt bad for what turned out to be creating an even greater deal of difficulty on her part in becoming integrated into her new husband's social group.

The main emotion at the time was anger at Dad - since I only had a guess, and not actual knowledge, up to that point that he was a two bit low life cheating son of a bitch.

Not humiliating at all for me - why would it be? She wasn't interested only in Dad, but would have happily gotten involved with both of us. Her poor husband.

So, anyone here had relations with multiple generations in the same family?

Now THAT was an overrated band. In their handful of records containing maybe 150 odd songs, they still never grabbed you by the balls the way the Pistols did in their 12 song history. And they never even got near the Clash. And as to the genius of being a simple three chord band, if that confers genius status, then why not place AC/DC up there as critics' darlings. They punched out perfect three chord three minute classics years before the Ramones did. I guess the Ramones get a load of cred because Phil Spector liked them. Phil liked a lot of things. He liked shooting blonde cokeheads, and he hasn't made a hit single since the 60s. Just because you were peripherally connected to a once famous now infamous producer does not make you a genius. Prince is considered a genius. He produced Sheila E. Anyone got a copy of Sheila E's greatest hits? I guess Dee Dee deserves a lot of credit for playing a stripped down version of guitar. So does MC5, the Stooges and Neil Young. Neil played the one note solo on Cowgirl in the Sand nearly a decade before the Ramones.

The Ramones will always exist in the shadow of London Calling and Never Mind the Bollocks, which is where they belong. They were good, but not nearly as good as the critics claim. They're a prime example of critics championing something mediocre just because its underground. Its a way for critics to protect their jobs by seeming cutting edge.

The Ramones will always exist in the shadow of London Calling and Never Mind the Bollocks in the sense that neither album would have ever been recorded without the Ramones breaking the ground first.

But then, you probably scorn Elvis and the Beatles, too.
