CD-Rs. Just used for coasters????

[CatQuincey]

OK... so not every CD-R burned can be a masterpiece

But what do YOU do with the failures? Just chuck them? Make a great picture display? Does somewhere actually recycle them !!!

Go on ! Be creative !!

Mine go straight in the bin m8....

Have you ever tried to break one by snapping it??????

If not then I suggest you go straight outside and try one.

I have 3 kids in here and they are banned from touching cd's ever since I found out what they do when you try snapping them.......

[KroZ]

I usually also just go outside and break them... thats probably the most use you can get out of them

[wellmashed]

Nahhhh m8....

I'm going on about what they actually do when you snap 'em......

I caught one of the kids trying to break one coz they knew it was scrap........

One got snapped in the house once and there were bits stuck in the wall m8........

If someone was stood in front of it then I would hate to see the cuts.........

Why bother to go to all of that trouble to go outside? Hell, if a CDR ejects as failed I just bust it up in my bare hands, it's a bit like Russian Roulette, only less lethal. And the bits of plastic shrapnel don't hurt that much... 8)
Either that or I throw it out of the window and use it as target practice with my air rifle. They also make sweet frisbees.

i love playing with my hot glue gun.. so i have a wall in my room with bad cd-r's and aol cd's i've gotten over the years.. there is probably about 80 of them on the wall. its kinda neat.. i glue them with the shiny side up.. shinyyyyyyyyy

[mrtristan]

I collect them until they reach about 4 or 5.

Then, I double check and toss.

[devinemi83]

I keep a few for my pet birds, they like them because they are shiny and look like mirrors, same for my snake, iguana loves them, most animals in my house like them. But when I get to many I just look them over quick to make absolutely sure they are trash and then whip them into the trash.


And what happens when you break a disc? I broke one once and it didnt do anything.

[twonabomber]

coasters, mostly. those and all the AOL discs i get. some frisbees, some for target practice. the Sig makes nice holes in 'em...

[tigerwolf]

actually, oh my god I just killed the largest mosquito I believe I've ever seen. I'm about to type what I do with my coasters and this huge thing just flies directly between me and the screen, so I chased it down and killed it then noticed it was a mosquito, glad the little #@$@ didn't bite me.

Okay now that I shared that, like you cared, so to the point.
Well what a friend of mine does is she'll take my coasters, aol discs, and etc and paint on them. She does up some pretty nice stuff. She even painted a different style for each month and then uses them as a peep hole decoration on the door.

though I use them as frisbees normally directly after I realize its a frisbee, though I've tempered that some after the one time my daughter walked in the room as I flung it, caught her in the head, didn't hurt her, but scared the living hell out of her.

though I noticed a peculiar habit of hers that appeared after that. she now
asks what I'm doing and if I answer burning something, she'll ask if its okay to come in.

LOL.
