I'd be talking about whalin' Halen; how High n Dry as proof that Def Leppard was more than just a one hit wonder to that snot on the schoolbus and how getting baked was so much funner than drinking. thank you Dave for taking me behind the woods of the middle school that day. i have never been the same.

You're, uh, welcome.

Thanks to years of alcohol therapy, I'm mostly certain that I can say not conclusively that it never happened.

Um, aren't both tm's and NFH's suggestions too wide?

I mention both because if the width dimention is a little flexible, there are some cheap and not bad looking options at IKEA (the BILLY line with the CD inserts - I can't seem to swing a link that works to their website.).

Also, I got the impression this was going into a nook of some sort. One caveat with tm's suggestion is that the doors have to open up wider than the unit, so you really need a space twice as wide, at least for while it is open (i.e. the doors swinging out in front of a speaker would be okay, but you can't put it flush against a wall on two sides). Otherwise, I have a friend who has what appears to be that exact model, and it seems nice enough for the price.

Beware the Ikea modular furniture! I innocently bought two CD towers there a few years back thinking, hey, it's Ikea, I can always get more later. Eventually, room ran out and I was able to get another tower to go perfectly with my existing towers. A few weeks ago, I noticed that I'm running out of room again, and head on over to do some cart surfing at Ikea. Ikea (or possibly the manufacturer) decided to discontinue the CD towers, and I have maybe 20 more CDs to buy before I'm out of room and have to figure out what to do with the overfill.

BTW, if you've never cart surfed down the aisles in the Ikea warehouse, try it. Be sure there aren't that many people in the aisle, since steering is an inexact science. You can also to it at Home Depot or Sams Club or Cost Co. or any big warehouse type place with those big platform carts for hauling lots of stuff. Beware, though, since store managers tend to look on cart surfing as a bigger crime than running up and down the aisles but not quite as bad of an offense as turkey bowling.

Well, AIDS scared a lot of people back then, so I insisted over your mother's objections, that I wear a condom. Good thing, I say.

Do you actually listen to all of these CDs? I can't imagine. Why don't you rotate out the ones that you don't listen to anymore?

One of the best beards ever before he trimmed. I can't find any pics where he has the Jesus beard, although I bet he could grow it back in about a week.

I guess you're all square with bilmore on that blow job you owe him, now.

Step 1: Parents do their own parenting, and assume their kids are being similarly parented when at school.

Step 2: Parents are too busy to do their own parenting, and rely on the school to make the tough decisions for them, presumably based on their superior experience in the matter.

Step 3: Parents are unable to do any of their own parenting, and threaten to file lawsuits when the schools attempt to do anything other than read approved books aloud to their children.

Parents of a 6-year-old boy say they plan to consult an attorney after a school principal washed bright blue dye out of their son's mohawk.

I wasn't allowed to make my own decisions about my hair until I was 17. And America prospered.

Well, the point of the towers (for me, anyways) is to store the CDs when I'm not listening to them. I go through maybe three or four times a year to cull the collection, but generally most of the stuff in the towers has a fairly even chance of being pulled out and played.

Really? I'm not doubting you, just surprised. When do you listen to these CDs? I am not home very often, and when I am, I simply don't listen to CD's I bought years ago. Do you throw a lot of parties?

I think it was your imagination. They're so used to getting the benefit of the doubt because they are Duke, that any call that could go either way that doesn't go theirs is a huge travesty and they throw a fit.

Both teams were in serious equivalent foul trouble early.

Personally, I couldn't give a shit if the refs turned out to have bet against Duke. Whatever it takes to keep them from the finals is fine by me.

Being a Duke fan is like being a Braves fan. Its one step below being a Cowboys fan, and that's very very low.

Cowboys fans are assholes.

Braves fans don't give a shit.

Duke fans are just fucking dorks.

There are some guys that you don't like, but you at least somewhat respect. Often, you call that guy a "dick" or an "asshole". However, there are others who aren't cool enough to be either of those insults. We call those guys "dorks". Duke fans are dorks.

Heck, ND fans are dorks too, and I love Notre Dame. But I'm frequently embarrassed by my fellow fans. I'm equally embarrassed by White Sox fans, who aren't dorks but are completely insane, run on the field and attack coaches and umpires...

Edited to add that my dislike for Duke fans doesn't come from jealousy, as they would like to believe. I like Sheshefsky and think he runs a great program. His fans are just dorks. Contrastingly, I also hate the Yankees, but I respect Yankee fans. I have little respect for the organization but plenty for Torre. Yankees fans aren't dorks.

I think Duke, more than any other big school I'm aware of, has a high percentage of its grads as fans. It seems to me like very few non-grads are Duke fans. I hate Duke.

that said, if my son keeps growing, and coach K. comes to visit, I'm pushing for Duke. Year after year they're good.

It sounds like it was temporary dye anyway, if it washed out so easily--if he'd simply bathed, it would've come out in the rinse water anyhow.

They should discipline the dirty little nimrod for not having the sense to use a more permanent product.
