Ashtray // Vinyl

All it really ever takes is an old/bad Alan Parsons twelve-inch record (or a seven-inch), preferably I Am Robot. A cookie sheet and a cereal bowl. Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees, but depending on how your week's going it might be 200 degrees already. Center the vinyl on top of the bowl tipped over on the cookie sheet for five minutes. It seems to suffice. And, Behold, an ashtray made of vinyl. It's a way to separate old tastes from those anew when the first snow comes crashing down. While it's warm for five seconds and droopy, bend it with the cups of your hands. Epoxy the bottom hole in it, so everything stays in. Or, any variation of stiff glue. Have at it.
