When are they going to start paying me?

I'm sure many of you, who have successfully escaped the clutches of AOL, get these little CDs from time to time: Fifty hours free! One-hundred hours free! Five-hundred hours free! Well, my latest just went into the crapper. Yep, you guessed it . . .

What's next? "We'll pay you $30/mo. just to try AOL!"

Ooooooo, exclusive! How do I get one?!?!? Oh wait, I just got 5.

I think we ought to band together to come up with a good use for thes things - like constucting homes for the homeless with them.

I guess they left the other 80 for busy signals and dropped calls.

Unfortunately, the damn CDs aren't re-writeable, so they're just landfill (that's Texan for recyclable).

A guy at my work collected a zillion old crappy CD's and glued them over every square each of his beater with the shiny side out. Actually looked sort of cool. For a POS.

Perhaps we could donate all these worthless CDs to Charlie. He could use them for Frisbees for Mr. Pockets!

To be honest, I am sick and tired of those AOL CDs. I must really get at least 1 every month. I guess they really want me back. I gotta be one of their golden members though. My record was 90 hrs on 1 month bill. I guess about 10 years ago, I was pretty new to surfing.

This is funny! In Germany you get this CD's too in every magazine. Wonder how much garbage they produce all over the world.
