50th Birthday Present
I gotta get my father a 50th birthday present...don't really talk to him much so I have no idea what to get. Some of you are around this age so I was hoping to get some ideas. Thanks.

I would definitely have to second that emotion.

Anything that allows you to spend time with him.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Spending time isn't going to work...we live far away and we don't want to really see eachother.
Material things are good.
Thank you."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

Is he into wine, whiskey, or something like that? An expensivish bottle makes a good gift.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

How about a photo of a stripper?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Seriously? You must know some of his interests. Try to get him something that works into that. Maybe a nice book on a subject he's interested in, or a couple of tickets to a football game if he's into that. Also depends on how much you're looking at spending, I suppose."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

Wow! I'm older than your father
I dunno. When you reach fifty there's nothing you really really want materialistically (that a word?) anymore. And if I'm right in that you guys aren't really close I have no clue...
Edit: The coolest thing I got for my 50th birthday was an original newspaper (not a reprint) from that day. Well, actually from a day later since I was born on a Sunday. Of all the things I got that was the best. Made me feel sad actually, I noticed that nothing ever changes in the world. The news stays the same, only the names change...Last edited by Hueij; November 2, 2005, 16:04.Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
