Does anyone have any creative uses for CD/DVD coasters that result from bad burns, or free AOL/Earthlink/PeopleSoft, etc CDs?

Hi, I'm trying to burn a movie on a CD-R. My computer's harddrive is messed up, so (I think) when certain clusters get used, it starts to freak out. Well, while I burn my movie, my computer freaks out, the percentage drops, and the burn fails. I got 98% of the thing burned and I don't need the...
