Now that you're just starting to recover from your spending spree over the holiday season, we know that it's only a matter of time before those bills and coins start making you - and your wallet - feel awfully uncomfortable. So we thought it would be nice of us to come up with creative ways to relieve you of that extra heft...by presenting you with four stupid ways to spend your money. At the very least, shelling out your cold, hard-earned cash for these dumb things are bound to make these cold and grey winter months seem a little bit more interesting. (Those of you not living in northern realms and basking in sunshine should stop reading this and go outside to frolic. Now.)

Have you ever wanted to really leave your mark on someone? Well, for the right amount of money, now you can make a significant impression on a total stranger. On February 2nd, Scott MacDonald will change his name to whatever the highest bidder on his website decides he should be called. You might have to break open a few piggy banks, though, as the current leading bid is for over $37,000. We're just waiting for the right chance to pounce so that Scott will be known as Smiley Central for the rest of his life. Hey, he could do a lot worse.

If you ever wanted to watch your favorite movies while you're driving, at work, or even while walking down the street, you're just asking for a whole lot of trouble to come your way. But now, thanks to the good folks at i-O Display Systems, you can! Simply slip on some funky looking glasses and some headphones - and experience your favorite movies and videos right in front of you....so much that you can just tune out traffic and crosswalk signals, crying babies, upset spouses and even your boss who may be yelling at you to take those ridiculous things off.

Come on, admit it. You just can't get enough of Paris Hilton. She's like a bag of your favorite greasy potato chips...just when you thought you had more than enough, you find yourself inexplicably craving more. And now, for $39.97 per month, you can get access to many of Ms. Hilton's personal effects. It seems that during a recent move, Paris left many of her belongings in a storage facility -- and after forgetting to pay the bills to keep the stuff there, the proprietors proceeded to sell the contents of her storage space. The buyer of the stuff has now set up a website where for less than two Andrew Jacksons, you can get access to all sorts of things the multi-millionaire heiress and gadfly would most likely not want you to see. You just may be feeling so gross afterward that you may need an extra shower.

Finally, you know those times when you've reached inside the depths of your ear with your finger...and in the process of trying to clear out all the gunk that may be in there, you just got completely lost? Clearly you need to shed some light on things. And we have just the solution....an earwax pick that comes with its very own LED light. How exactly you're likely to see inside your own ear with this thing is a mystery to us. But we do know of all the stupid things listed here that you could spend your money on, this one is the cheapest....just $3.99 at a Korean grocery store. Now that just might be a bargain that's too stupid to pass up.
