When something made of plastic breaks, you can tack the two (or more) pieces of plastic back together with a soldering iron by running it carefully down the split. Use AOL floppies as a free source of plastic 'hot glue' to be melted in said manner to form a stronger bond. Kinda stinky. Do it in a well ventilated space, or over your stove with the fan on.

make great shims for a quick table leaf ... regular wood is just not thick enought for most tables that split and if you don't have a leaf you can make one, thanks to AOL, using standard 3/4 in wood with a few AOL disks taped to the bottom. This was really appreciated last Xmas when we had more dinner guests then we anticipated and need another table leaf in a hurry. Looking around for just the right shim, there they were, a stack of saved AOL disks to the rescue. My family was able to eat at a table that night, such well deserving company, AOL, the primier junk mailers.. thanks.

CHRISTMAS TREE: Paint them green and glue together into a Christmas tree shape, start with them on an angle, 1, then 2, then 3, etc., into the size you want. For the base, stay with straight line, spray paint brown and add as many as needed to complete tree size. Ex., if the last green row was seven, you would need two or three brown across, then four on the bottom base row. Decorate as desired; sparkles, tinsel, garland, small flat ornaments, even lights, if you wish. Hang on the wall or door. Great conversation piece, home or office.
With the recent switch to AOL CD ROM deployment, I collect AOL CDs and make them into candle holders. With a nail through a piece of wood I slide the shiny side up over the nail and then insert a canle onto the nail. I've had quite a few positive commen
gather 52 together & print #'s 1-10 and J, Q, & K per 4 sets of 13, et voila a handy free deck of cards. Oh no, they should by right all be jokers. Single disks could have keyrings attached and used as handy stylish earings, or could perhaps be dispatched to isolated jungle tribes in an effort to generate the ultimate cross-cultural icon....lip discs.
Collect all the AOL disks and CD's you can find. Mail them all in one huge box or envelope to AOL by taping one of their "postage paid by addressee" envelopes on for the mailing address. When AOL calls you to find out why you did this, make sure you're on-line so they get a busy signal (since that's the only thing you ever get from AOL anyway).

well, we could dry them up, can them, and secretly send them to the hungry kids in Somolia, if they die, the cops will look at the label and AOL will be charged. If they live, I'll sell the idea to Science so they can further perfect the art of turning the useless AOL disks into food for the needy.

use them as evidence against AOL in the breach of contract lawsuit
Howz about if we collect them like newspapers in a public bin and them mail them back to the A.O.L. office, one at a time. The sheer volume of disks they'd recieve might occupy the useless behemoth long enough to stop them soliciting for a while.
