    Hi everyone!
    I just thought that it would be fun to start a thread in which people came up with creative (perhaps even useful) things to do with those pesky coasters.

    NOTE for newbies: (Coasters are DVD+-Rs that have an error while burning and will not play).

    Of course there is the classic use for which coasters got their name, but I am curious to see if anyone else out there has thought of any good uses other than setting your drinks on them.

    I'll start us off with one: Glue on some razorblades to create a "Whirling Disc of Doom!"


    Enjoy!

  2. Hmm...you could take one of those cheap cd-r's (with the silver tops and bottoms) and break them over someone's head that you dont like. The millions of little shards of plastic and silver strips will get in their hair and wont come out for days

    But you need the cheapo kinds that shatter instead of cracking...try it! It's fun!

    (By the way...I'm very serious. I've done it before, its fun!)

    Full-figured women that nature wasn't kind to can pad their bras with 30 or 40 coasters on a side. Then they could look like Anna Nicole Smith

    2. see how many you can stack on top before they fall
    3. hula hoop for barbie
    4. throw them at weddings instead of rice
    5. give them away to schools and write it off on your taxes
    6. sell them on ebay as "mystery cds"
    7. go to best buy and replace all britney spears cds with coasters, when people find out, the sales will skyrocket
    8. cover your walls with them like that AOL commercial
    9. home-made remote control car wheels
    10. market them as "makeup mirrors" for women on the go.

  10. I'm so disappointed! I clicked on this topic hoping to find 1001 uses for coasters. If someone has good uses, don't forget to include the clear plastic discs that come with the bundle of dvds, protecting top and bottom, I have several of those. The only use I've come up with is dust collectors on a table in the living room.

    Save them in nice cases and lable them with the names of movies that you don't have. Display them where all of your "freinds" or relatives can see them. When somebody wants to borrow one, tell them that it is against the law, make a big issue over it too. but finally give in under the condition that if anything should happen to your only copy er backup they will have to replace it with a new DVD from the store.
    Works for me! Anyone want to watch one of my bootlegs?

  16. Have you seen what a Desert Eagle .50 can do to a coaster?!


    Coasters make great shims.

  17. 1. Use one to roll & cut pizza and/or home-made pasta

    2. For a survival/signal mirror

    3. Mark them as classified or "top secret" disks and leave them out in the open at work

    4. Reuse them as Naked Geek media

  19. Use them as reflectors.

    Sell them as replacement sideview mirrors. (Objects in disc are closer than they appear)

    Serve hamburgers or sandwiches on them at parties.

    Spin them real fast, squirt different colors of paint on them, and sell them as disc art.

    Label them and leave them in your unlocked car the next time you go shopping. Watch and enjoy.

    yeah, save yourself the trouble of making the coaster yourself on Naked geeks, and just buy a spindle of coasters premade

  21. I seem to recall seeing a costume made from Generic Cds being worn in one of the carnaval parades from Brazil this year on Globo TV.

    Somebody should resurrect the old uses for AOL CDs for this list.

    The hole's too small (and no, that's not said from experience. I mean, I love DVDs, but not that much ). Drill out a bunch and have a contest with your friends to see who can walk around the room with the most stacked on his member without dropping any. You can cheat by holding up a naked pic of Britney when it's your turn and flash a pic of Rosie O'Donnell when it's their turn A bonus for anyone who can hold a 100-cake box's worth.

    Sorry, Capmaster, but BRITNEY=FLACCID...ROSEANNE=ERECT.

    I wasn't talking about wearing 'em MYSELF. I was talking about that chick from that '80s new wave band MISSING PERSONS, who wore CDs on her tits & genital area.

    I think that was MY FIRST WANK!!!!!
