I dump mine too, unless I have made a small beer as a really big starter.  Then I carb and drink it ;)

I'm a dumper from way back.  ;)

It's oxidized beer and won't be worth keeping anyway.

Good to know.  I have never tried drinking it I was just wondering if it woulds be any good.  Looks like the consensus is no.  I will just dump it. 
Also, I would like to use crystal 120 or extra dark crystal, but I do not have any and I am planning on brewing this tomorrow.  Unfortunately crystal 40 is the darkest I have so that is what I plan on using.  My options are crystal 40, crystal 20, or order some crystal 120 (since my closest brew store is a 2+ hour drive each way) and brew next weekend, which I am not fond of.

The only thing I would add is to dump the brown sugar.  the first few times I brewed Imperial stouts I used brown sugar and there was always a lingering taste of molasses that bothered me.  Use demerara IF you really feel the need to add sugar.
