I installed one of the Accelero S1 passive coolers on my 8800GT a year or more ago. I noticed today that 3 or 4 of the small heatsinks have fallen off. IIRC there was just some thin paper/plastic that I pulled off to expose the adhesive for the heatsink. What can I use to re-install these things? Anything household ???

Thermal adhesive and epoxy. They work almost like super glue. Using those will probably void the warranty of the video card as you will need to put back the original HS alone with the thermal pads, they HS will never fall again.
