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!!

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!

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

I make votive candle holders with them; they reflect the light beautifully.
by scubabob on January 16th, 2007
I recycle them by giving them to diving pals for surface signaling devices. They actually work pretty good.

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

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.
by LynfromNM on January 16th, 2007
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!

I put the CDs in the microwave and watch them sparkle!

I'm lucky enough that I haven't gotten any in at least ten months.
by SalientAlien on February 2nd, 2007
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.

Somebody told me this a long ago; computers come with 2 viruses already from factory, Windows and AOL...
Those CDs, trash them, they're no good.
by Anonymous too on January 16th, 2007
I throw them away. It really amazes me how many they send out.
by puppylover on March 17th, 2007
Get rid of it quickly very quckly!!! They will rip you off. Don't believe them nothing they have is FREE!
by Anonymous on March 17th, 2007
Use them for lethal frisbees, and try to nail a fast flying African swallow if I happen to see one.
I never have hit one, worse luck. But it is fun trying! :)
by freeakish1 on March 13th, 2007
i put them on the end of my dremel and let them alone on high speed until they went boom
by R U Sirius on March 8th, 2007
I'd like to give it to the Ab'rs kid who lights his CDs on fire but probably not a good idea.
Good luck with however you handle it.

i use them to fill the trash can!

throw em all away. One of my Grandma's friends had a BAD experience with one of them...figures.
by Knopper67 on February 23rd, 2007
I throw half of the Cd's out my window onto the road. The other half I violently crack in half until my fingers start bleeding. That's how much i hate AOL.
It should be COL, Canada On-line. Wait no, that doesn't sound good. Stupid American Crap that Doesn't let Canada Sign up for their Stupid Mail Service!!! ARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

I used to make big shiny cd collages with them when I was younger, those were neat. I also tacked them up on the wall. The coolest thing I did (and dangerous, it's probably not the smartest thing to do) with them though was put 'em in the microwave!!! Put them in shiny side up and zap em for 3 seconds, it makes this really cool blue light and then it leaves like lightning bolt shaped cracks on the surface of the cd after you take it out. Very cool, but irresponsible, be careful and don't teach your kids to do it!
by FadingxSmiles on January 17th, 2007
I used to hang them from my ceiling--I love shiny things--but I finally ran out of room and had to start throwing them away.
This person made a very nice lamp out of them. :-)

Toss them in the trash or ocassionally use them as a Frisbee and see how far they will go.
by lianaface on June 17th, 2008
Hahahaha! Throw that shit out!
by guitarman18 on April 16th, 2007
I throw them up in the air and try to shoot them with my pistol or shotgun. I dont even put those three letters together on my computer. I try not to use words that have those three letters in consecutive order. Perhaps you have read into this that I do not like that company. Well, you have read it right.
by Thundercleese on February 25th, 2007
When I first got married we had a large assortment of them with different designs. We used them for coasters.
We also used them to decorate the Christmas tree at work.
by Little Miss Dangerous on February 19th, 2007
My daughter made an ornament in preschool. She put a paper snowflake with her picture in the middle and left the shiny side to reflect the lights on the tree. It was pretty.

Toss em in the garbage
by tjatherton on January 16th, 2007
They make good coasters for the coffee table.
by PrivateGomerSpooner on November 15th, 2009
I make coasters from them or use them as frisbees or just cut them up. Already have an internet provider.

I haven't gotten any in like 2 years.
by mwmerrow on April 20th, 2009
too many answers to scan through / pardon me if i repeat / i like the first ones i got. / i never did use the discs / but they came in neat metal containers with snap on (stay together) lids (good for pins, and small items like paper clips, and such) / i wish i would get more of those !!!!(my girlfriend took all but 1 of my metal ones for her beads hobby) / then they changed to almost as good heavy duty cardboard boxes, that have a magnet strip on the side you close / now i do not get them any more at all

Put them in the front window of your car/truck/van etc...they reflect back any speed guns that might be pointing at you lol
by Thayne on September 17th, 2008
I actually used to glue them together into different shapes, then get little clock kits (very cheap, and they fit perfectly in the center hole of a cd!) and make clocks out of them! I used to give them away to friends, family, and fellow geeks, and even sold a few! With some super glue and a little creativity, you can make some great time pieces!
Here's a very rough image I quickly made in paint to illustrate the idea. Notice I used multiple CDs, with the one in the middle having the time piece installed, rather than making a very small clock out of one cd. Enjoy!

Send them through the shredder.
by StylishNihilist on April 16th, 2008
At my old house i covered my bedroom walls and ceiling in them (shiny side showing)
I was lucky enough to have a massive room too so i ended up using hundereds of them, the local supermarket had them in one of those "please take our trial CD" vendor displays so wasnt too difficult getting them.
I ended up with a pretty unique looking room :)
I recently moved from my house to an apartment. I get internet here, and set up a router. However Steam wont connect to the internet. Help.

Are there any directories of question-and-answer sites (ChaCha, Yahoo Answers, Mahalo Answers, etc.) on the Internet?

Some people argue that Internet content filters are a violation of freedom. Some people say it's protection, others a hinderance. W.A.Y?
