What do you think would be a cool way to spend $50 dollars? You know, for that weekend that you have nothing planned, or even a summer month? This thread is for that exact purpose, so you have some ideas on what you might do with some of that cash you have lying around, or that money your grandparents gave you. Here's a few things I thought up:
 A CD Player, you could get a CD player, plus and album or two of your choice, and if you don't already have some, some headphones, or if you're not a headphones type of person, some speakers. This would be a nice idea for a lazy Sunday, especially if you already have a few CDs:
Coby CD Player - $11
Cheap, decent quality headphones - $20 or less.
And one or two albums from some groups you like - $25 or less, depending on the CD's age.
 
A DreamCast, or another old console you're interested in. Most likely under $60 as long as you're not going for a Virtual Boy or anything rare like that.
 
As my sarcastic answer, a pair of venetian sunglasses and a shitty rap album so you can seem really menacing while you're driving down the street. 
 
So what do you think would be a good way to spend $50?
 
 Forgot to mention, answers revolving around sex and or drugs will be frowned upon and or flagged.

Get a turntable if you're a music elitist. Or what about lossless mp3?

@EliasT: I am actually coming into $50 today that I loaned my brother in law on the weekend so I came into this thread with big hopes.

But seriously this is bullshit. I think I would get more satisfaction from $50 by flushing down the toilet or burning it. Remembering that in all likelihood I would put paper cuts on my sphincter or burn my fingers.

Reel to reel tapes are better but anyways I still prefer CDs to LP/EPs.

What the fuck is wrong with a CD player? You can still use it to listen to music, a CD costs just as much as an album on iTunes.

That's just plain silly, nobody makes cassettes any more. CDs are still coming out from various artists at a rapid pace, CDs aren't dead like cassettes.

Serious needless swearing problem.  
 
Any-fucking-way if I had a spare $50 lying around I'd probably grab a shirt and large Mc chicken meal.

Nothing... that's exactly how I listen to music. With my jacket tied around my waist, walking towards the post office to send some mail to my friend out of the city, always saying stuff like "You Da Bomb!", dancing to the Macarana, listening to my PORTABLE CD PLAYER!

@EliasT: Being modern is for modernists and as every Back to the Future movie shows (save for maybe the second one), living entirely in the past is where it's at. That's why, while we're at it, I'd also say that the purchase of a Betamax player and accompanying tapes would also be a superb way to entertain yourself for $50.

How about this then? A budget MP3 Player and some songs from your site of choice (if you hate yourself, you can just download them for free). Huh, I never knew an MP3 player would be that cheap, the deals you can find on eBay can be pretty suprising, this is coming from a person that has used eBay for 4 years.

@TurboMan: I don't know if the thread feels the same way about you, though. She's typically a quiet, shy lass who has trouble sorting out her feelings even if she's otherwise well-spoken. You might want to try professing your love to and hooking up with another thread, because I think this one is just going to spurn your advances while she sits in a cave and rewatches her favorite laserdiscs again, just like I (totally just didn't) imagine her doing.
 

 I heard somewhere that this was her favorite one.

Is this your secret way of telling us you want one of us to suggest you spend your $50 on comedy club tickets so you can listen to better acts than ours? Because if so, then I'll endorse that.

Jokes!?!  Who is telling jokes, SON!  That was a serious query.  You shouldn't be hanging with corpses unless you're a mortician.  A 14 year old mortician.

Sure is audiophiles who don't realize all music has the same quality after you pass 192 kbps.
