TEN WAYS TO USE THOSE EXTRA COPIES WE BUY OF CLAY'S CDs 
[since we all want Clay to be #1, I know many of us will buy multiple copies when any of his CDs come out...but you can only listen to one at a time...so here are some other ways to use those extras we will buy of his CDs]
10.  Frisbee!
9.  They make great coasters
8. I hear that you can use the back of CDs as travel mirrors.
7. They could make great Christmas tree ornaments
6. We could find Simon's address and send it to him and tell him that Clay is our American Idol.
5. Buy one for every CD player in your house, your car, your friends house, your friends car...etc, etc, etc
4. Just buy it for the beautiful eye candy on the outside...put one in every room of the house!
3. When Halloween rolls around, put them in kids "trick or treat" bags--but you might want to make sure not to do this if they are wearing a 205 jersey.
2. Use them as BirthClay and Christmas gifts or for fans who couldn't go out and buy the CD in time (if the people you give them to aren't Clay fans, maybe this can clayvert them.)
1. Add a box, some pictures of Clay, and a few other accessories...if you put all these things together just right, you will find that the CDs can become wheels to your very own CLAY TRAIN!!!

YOU MIGHT BE A CLAY FAN IF...
10. You spend $3 on a magazine simply because it has one picture of Clay in it.
9. You refer to Tuesdays and Wednesdays as Tuesclays and Wednesclays out of habit.
8. When you stop denying you have a crush on him...in fact you openly admit it to anyone.
7. When you feel like Ruben fans are as different from you as someone with a different religion.
6. When the number of pictures of Clay in your room outnumber the number of pictures of your best friend
5. When you own 50+ CDs but only listen to Clay's
4. When you refer to Clay as "poor sweet baby" when Simon is mean to him.
3. When your best friend has to ask you to get of the "clay train" and come back to earth sometime during every conversation.
2. When you can remember every song he sang on the show, what week it was, what the judges said, and what he wore.
1.When you check the Clay fan sites more than you check your email!!!
