I don't have the affliction (yet) but between the new cabinet and the 9 crates of records, my studio apartment is already feeling a bit on the cramped side ;-)

have a cat? cats love sitting on the top of crate of records. it looks/feels just like that scratching pad you so desperately want them to use. they also love the height of having a couple of them stacked on top of each other. at least, mine do. i just so happened to have a bit of wood left over from a project that is 95% the width of the crates that i place on top. now, it is the perfect cat ledge, but now the stylus is the only sharp pointy thing that comes in contact with them.

Taking something that doesn't belong to you and selling it is theft and sale of stolen property no matter how much you dislike the theoretical person you invented for this comment.

possession is 9/10 of the law. good luck getting any cop to actually take a report on a situation like this. not really sure why you're trying this hard on a story that has clearly been stated as made up back story. talking about trying to kill a vibe with missing the tone of the room

> what do you call a DJ without a girlfriend? homeless.
I just love jokes that are a hard truth from a world I don't know well. A favorite along these lines: "What does a stripper do with her asshole before she goes to work? Drops him off at band practice."
some girl probably got tired of taking care of the guy, kicked him out, and in lieu of being paid back for all of the food, utilities, gas, etc she had shelled out for him over the course of the relationship and then on top of not coming to collect the damn crates after 3 months, would not qualify as theft by anybody's definition. the fact the transaction was for $1 just makes it worse. this whole back story is 100% made up and is just supposition on our parts, but it is 100% believable. it also just adds to the legend of one's own collection. "oh that one, yeah, let me tell how i got that one..."
if you've ever lived with someone with a vinyl addiction, you know exactly how much space crates of records can take up. you also know how heavy they are. if you've never known anyone with this affliction, count your blessings.
