Where the hell is my Andrew WK CD? There are three godammned places I would have put it. It is in neither of those places. Did it grow legs and walk away? What CDs do you have that seem to get lost constantly? ---

Yes, it grew legs and walked away. 😛 Now if you could find my Michael W. Smith CD, I’d be ever so happy… ---

**Gord’s Gold** - Gordon Lightfoot **Sabbatum** - Rondellus\*\* **Johnny, Cock Thy Beaver** - bawdy songs of the Renaissance And I’ve lost two cassette tapes: A home copy of Stan Rodgers’ **Between the Breaks** - anoying because this copy also had an unnamed singer doing _The Witch of the Westmoreland_ in a heavy Scottish brogue, and it’s a redition I really enjoy and I have no idea how to replace it! A home copy of **Tarleton’s Jig** - no idea it this was the name of the album or the performing group, but it was all vocal and instrumental music from the English Civil War era. Anyone know where I can find a replacement? \*\*(the medieval version of Black Sabbath - two copies! Can I find either one? NO! &\*$&%@) ---

I never lose CDs, but for some reason I keep losing ‘Best of James Bond Themes’. I have lost and re-purchased it about 4 times now. It must be the invisible ink of CDs ---

I still can’t find my **Fat of the Land** CD by The Prodigy. The jewel case sits empty holding it’s place on the shelf. ---

How about broken jewel cases? May I have a few of your empty ones so I can replace all my broken ones (particularly the ones with the broken spiny thingies in the center that hold the disc in place)? (I buy everything else when I go to Wal\*Mart, ya think I’d remember to buy extra jewel cases. Sheesh!) ---

I have a friend who’s bought the Xanadu soundtrack CD _five times_. Each of the other four it’s been stolen from his car. The car’s never been taken - just the CD (and, three times, other stuff). Each time he’s repurchased it. And he swears that he’s straight… ---

Where the hell is the jewel case for my They Might Be Giants _Best of the Early Years_? I love that jewel case, too, it has a great picture of a snowman burning a pile of cash on it. I have the CD, but dammit, I want my case back! ---

Ben Harper- “Welcome to the Cruel World”. I know where it is; unfortunately that would be an apartment in Paris. My roomie “borrowed” it _several_ years ago, and left it at his parents’ house. And now it’s out of print. Dinosaur Jr. - “Whatever’s Cool With Me”. A kind of greatest hits cd, but someone keeps taking it! Arrgh! I’ve bought **4 copies** of this cd, plus the album version, and the only thing I still have is the album. (Guess it’s a little bulky to slip in your jacket pocket.) Bad Religion - “Stranger than Fiction”. Apparently one of my friends loves this cd, and keeps taking it from me when their copy gets messed up. The only cd that I’m kind of glad walked out of here was a Limp Bizkit cd that someone gave me for my birthday one year. I know it was lifted by my ex-roomie’s little hoodlum friends, and as far as I’m concerned, they can keep it! ---

Well I appear to be missing a few cd’s. Who knows how long they have been gone, they probably have been stolen. Ones I’m missing: The Full Monty soundtrack: I just love all the music on this cd. Big Shiny Tunes 6: This I know was stolen by one of my ex’s. He was a cumpulsive klepto and this was his favourite cd, as well as mine. Lots of good songs on it. Bloodhound Gang, Hooray For Boobies: Yes I had this cd. I loved it, it was funny and enjoyable. Plus it had the Discovery Channel song (yah I forget the name of the song) ---

My new Alison Krause and Union Station CD!!! I’ve been looking for it for 3 weeks now. It was on top of my stereo one day and then just went _POOF_. Not behind the stereo, not under the dresser, not in the car, not under the couch, not in the wrong case. Where the hell did it go?? Urrggh. ---
