Happy hour Where your dogs at? Crabulous Game on
Friday night: $190. Saturday night: $390. Metromixing your weekend: Priceless!

The economic stimulus package of 2008 is making its way to a mailbox near you, and we're going to show you how to blow that cash before you can say, "It's about damn time." So what to do with all this money? Your well-intentioned but nagging inner good idea bear is going to say, "Save it, put it in the bank, pay off a little more of your credit card, blah blah blah." Well, as the resident bad idea bears, Metromix says, "Spend it—the more frivolously the better!"

If you're wondering how to blow $600 in one weekend (and if you're lucky enough to receive such a large package), don't worry, there are plenty of ways to splurge, and they're guaranteed to leave you with empty pockets and a smile on your face.
