What to do in a B-squared situation (bored and broke)

So what is one to do when in a B-squared (bored and broke) situation? Sure, if you are in a bigger town you can scour the street malls for performers or simply sit on a park bench and watch the people. But what if you are from a small town? Or a suburb? Hmmm...what to do? Well I have compiled a list of things to keep your eyes interest and your money!
1.)Try a fly-on-a-leash (internet instructions available)
2.)Dress up in your finest and take glamour shots with your own camera
3.)Take turns cutting and dying eachother's hair...it'll grow back
4.)Creative prank calls...priceless
5.)Frisby at the park...or parking lot! (stay away from expensive cars)
6.)Backyard camping
7.)Cupboard pot-luck (invite friends and free the cupboard of rarely used foods)
8.)See who can create the best (or worst) creations with food you already have
9.)Roast nuts, marshmallows, etc. over candels with toothpicks
10.)A pampering day (shave, paint nails, rinse and actually repeat, homemade masks...)
11.)Learn the basics of a new language
12.)Take a stab at art with any available tools (even poetry)
13.)Learn oragami
14.)Shoot nature (with a camera only!!!)
15.)Cook some me3als in advance so you can eat right away the next few days
16.)Make a blog or a video for youtube
17.)Organize old pictures (you'll find some treasures)
18.)Re-arrange furniture and create a whole new living environment
19.)Learn how to live green...and take the first steps
20.)Go to a nearby town's largest store dressed like a crazy and act schizo until you get enough hilarious reactions to laugh about the rest of the day
21.)Look through old movies and watch a classic
22.)Think up your own game...then play it
23.)Boost your brain with puzzles and brain teasers
24.)Meditate, sleep, take a bath with some wine...just have some down time!
25.)Hike, bike, etc. (nature never closes)
