Thank you AOL

[Jerboy]

Many many retailers, such as Sears, Target have a bin full of AOL CD's. Thanks. Those are actually pretty good as a disposable coasters and epoxy mixing pad

hmm... never though of using them for such purposes.

What? You don't microwave them? You don't sharpen the edges and throw them at the cubicle walls? I did that once... it was fun until my manager saw it stick in the wall and gave me a verbal warning.

LMAO amnesiac 2.0
Jerboy is correct though, AOL does provide plenty of "free" DVD cases, but I really don't have any use for their CD-Roms.

CD reeks like an ass when you microwave them and it isn't as fun as microwaving K7S5A crap board.


I don't work in cubicles. Maybe I'll try the chalkboard when the teacher isn't around. I wouldn't use an AOL CD though. Cheapo flaking prone CD-R is more fun because confetti's go everywhere.

sharpened CD's don't stick in chalkboards, smart guy. You have to throw them at something like poster board or simple dry-wall

time to get creative with those cds..

I made a CD launcher once. It spun them upupwards of 80,000 RPM, then the spring loaded spindle would snap forward at about 400lb of force, then one side rail would collapse in. It would launch 'em out of sight. It made a hella clay pigeon machine, except when the CD's were edgewise, you couldn't see 'em. Painting them helped but was a pain. I only had one CD come apart in the launcher, and that was because it had a crack in it. Scared the bejesus out of me. They don't mess around at 80k+ RPM.

Monel:

Post the plans, please.

BTW, these things are nonabsorbent and make lousy drink coasters. They are misnamed.

i've been collecting aol cd's, somewhere i saw a guy had made a lamp by gluing them together and running a rope light through them, but i forgot to bookmark it, anyone seen this or know where to find it?
