I cut little slits in their centers, stick a coin in there, and make a top.

Yeah, they do make great target practice. Hang em from a tree and POP! Never thought of using them for coasters though, that's a good idea.

I don't get them anymore, they musta got wind to the fact that I was using them for target practice all the time!

For some reason I get a lot of junk mail, and AOL is there on a pretty regular basis.

What I do is put aside all the envelopes with pre-paid postage stamps on them (mostly credit card companies). Then I fill them up with my other junk mail and send them off.

The best part, is that they pay for each envelop that is used... in other words they are paying to get my junk. ;) Gotta love that!

Nope!

I throw in a box of rocks, a frisbee and a fifth of brandy.

Just re-address the pre-paid envelopes and use them to send letters to friend and family.

Shoot em with my .22 rifle. The center hole is a very good target, but if u miss it the whole CD will explode!

Ha Ha, I love it!!

Hey never thought of that, I've a 20 gauge. I'll have to give it a try, but I'm all out.

I recycle them by giving them to diving pals for surface signaling devices. They actually work pretty good.

I break them up and throw them away. I break them up because, I'd hate to contribute to the delinquency of anyone who thinks signing up with AOL is a good idea.

Was helping daughter make a solar system mobile. Took a styrofoam ball with a smaller diameter than the CD and made a cool Saturn.

They make lovely coasters - I have enough to host a large group for the Superbowl without risking any table rings.

One of my best friends is developing a cool launcher, it's kind of complicated, but it uses an 18volt cordless drill w/ a rubber wheel that spins and propels the disks down a "barrel"(it's a rifle-style design.) It has a top-loading speed-feeder shoot so you can destroy a lot of disks(and anything in their path)in a big hurry! Yeah I know he's a wing-nut!

Thats even better than a potato gun! machine gun them! Great!

Capt. Jack Sparrow GALCIY Nov, 01 2007 at 10:30 PM

I have yet to see it in action!
It seemed like such a cool concept, and you wouldn't believe the time and effort he put into just the carving of the solid wood custom gun stock that from the trigger back looks like a good old hunting rife.

Wow... 1998 nostalgia anyone? Do people really get these anymore? Reminds me of when the Internet was "cool". Now it just is. No, I don't get AOL disks anymore.
