I found a use for AOL discs
Author
Where I live we have a Circuit City and CompUSA and stuff. So, my friends and I went to each of these stores and took about 25 AOL discs each. What is cool is that the cd cases are DVD cases! So, I use them for all my CD-R''s that I buy on the spindles. I just flip over the cover and can label the case.
Pointless I know, but you can finally use them!

My cousin turns them in to guitar pics, apparently they work quite well. My favorite is the frisby. Its a real weapon.

My brother seems to have an unlimited supply of those damn things that he hurls across the room at me when he feels like inflicting pain. I of course retaliate by throwing any of the few hundered coins I have sitting around my desk...

I have a friend that created himself a wall of CD using the silver surface of the AOL CD. It''s actually pretty nice but I wouldn''t do it.

Let''s not forget the tradition use for these damn things: Drink costers.
If everythings possible then it becomes impossible to have the impossible so not everything can be possible right? Or if everythings possible then the impossible no longer exists. Is that possible?

Recipe:
2 AOL CD''s
1 kitchen towel (fuzz-free if possible) Paper can work too, as can light cardboard. The point is to keep melted plastic from gluing to your iron.
1 iron, preheated.
1 ironing board.
1 table edge or other good 90 degree edge
Lay the kitchen towel on the ironing board, flat. Place one AOL CD on the towel, fold the towel over it. Try not to wrinkle.
Take the iron and start moving it across the CD until it gets hot and slightly pliable.
Move the towel containing the CD to the edge while it''s hot, and bend the CD at the middle to a 90 degree angle. Don''t force it, if it doesn''t go willingly heat it some more, though try not to melt the thing utterly. Not like you don''t have another 3 dozen of them to try again until you perfect the technique tho. *shrug*
Use as bookends or CD case ends. For larger books, glue 2 of these CD''s to each other to form a T.
Also, parrots love AOL CD''s to play with.

Where the heck do you guys get all those free CDs? Maybe they just don''t ship as many to Canada...
