Having a problem with dropping a column in sql server 2000.

First off, I add a column:

ALTER TABLE myTable ADD thisCol VARCHAR(250) DEFAULT 'stong like bull' NULL

then, I try to get rid of it:

ALTER TABLE myTable DROP COLUMN thisCol

but it does of death when it realises that the column has a default value
object that relies on that column.

How can I get it to drop the default (which is given a random name by sql
server along the lines of 'DF__form_meta__colum__36B12243') and thus drop
the column?
