[Cialug] Remove Thermal Paste?

[Josh More]

You rub it on a carpet, then sell your house.

Alternatively, you can use a disposable rag or a carpet remnant.

If you're insane, after you do that, you can sand it with progressively
finer grades of sandpaper, then polish it with silver polish to a mirror
finish, then wash it clean and dry it.  It apparently makes your CPU run
something like 0.05% faster.  ;)
