OK, calm down, everybody. Obama fans, don’t get too carried away. He still has to win New Hampshire, et. al. before the Democratic Party manages to derail him somehow. Huckabee fans, restrain thyselves from too much snake handling or whatever it is you do to celebrate. Because, mark our words, Mr. 9/11 is still very much in the race, and he’s still shameless enough to produce what could be the funniest/scariest campaign ad since LBJ’s* infamous “Daisy Girl” spot from 1964.
*note: L.B.J. was a president.
Super Deluxers. We resolve never to use that term again. But we digress.
About a month ago, we wanted to ask a bunch of our artists what they were swearing off and pledging to do in 2008. But that never happened. Seems a certain intern forgot to hit send on a certain email before she jetted off to a certain Central American country for the winter (b.t.w. don’t come back, Amber; you shant have a pot to piss in here). So, instead, we decided to put that question to the good people that sit on the other sides of our cubicles every day. Whoever they are.
Henderson (Video Tape Eater) - “I told my wife that I’d quit hitting her. In the face. I’d also like to get my hands on one of those $5 Pizza Mia® Pizza Hut pizzas for a few hours. That would be sweet.”
The extra arm that we grew to pat ourselves on the back has come in pretty handy now that we’re done fluffing up the home page et. al. with our favorite videos of the year and what not. Yes, our new appendage–unbeknownst to us–just loves messing around on the YouTube. Particularly, digging up videos of people smoking salvia.
Salvia? Yes, salvia divinorum. It’s a form of sage that’s completely legal in the majority of these United States, although, chances are, a federal ban against it is coming soon. Not helping its case any is the massive crop of salvia smoking videos that have mushroomed up online recently. There are thousands of them. And they all pretty much consist of the same thing: people losing their proverbial shit. It’s as entertaining to watch as it undoubtedly is terrifying to experience. Lucky for us, we do not have to partake in this 100% licit activity to enjoy it. Salvia smokers far and wide have already gone through the trouble of documenting their freaky-deaky trips into the mystic online.
So, without further ado, we give you the 13 best salvia videos of 2007:

This time of year can pretty rough on people. What with all the stresses of Christmas shopping and family get-togethers and blog posts and alcoholism and everything. Long story short, I had a bad day yesterday and unfortunately it was all caught on film.
Before you watch this, please understand that I have since made amends with my new co-worker, Chet, and that I’m fairly certain he will return to work on Monday.
(Don’t forget the “Don’t fucking call H.R.” remix.)
Dear blog reader,
Hope you’re having a happy holiday season so far. You are? Good. Because all that’s about to change. When? The very second you set your unsuspecting eyes and ears on this disturbing rendition of “Jingle Bells Rock” brought to you by Mr. “White Wedding.” Or perhaps after this video takes off, he’ll be better known by his new moniker: Mr. “My Cocaine And Vicodin Addiction Saves Me A Lot Of Money On My Plastic Surgery Anaesthesia Bills.”
Asalamalakem,

New York is such a wonderful city to visit this time of year. The weather is perfect. The women are still all beautiful and summerfied. And the plane ride up is un-fucking-bearable.
Last night, we went to Ground Zero. Ground Zero of alternative comedy in New York City, that is. BOOOOM!!! OK, that’s not cool. There’s a lot of other places in Manhattan that probably would contest that they are the nexus of alt-comedy. But we weren’t at those places, were we? We were at Rififi’s in the East Village enjoying the crap out of Bobby Tisdale and Eugene Mirman’s weekly comedy show, Invite Them Up. If you love these guys’ Super Deluxe videos, chances are, Invite Them Up is where some of the original ideas for them were conceived and/or fleshed out. Or not. It’s a pretty “whatever the fuck goes” kind of night. Like when the multi-multi-talented Reggie Watts (seen here with fellow hair models) wrapped the evening up in a pretty bow with a beatbox-loop pedal-mindfuck improv performance that defies further categorization.
Here’s Super Deluxe stooge, Senatorturer, Bobby Tisdale and Invite Them Up co-producer and gracious hostess, Holly Schlesinger.
Of course, both Eugene and Bobby performed, as well as Adam Lowitt, Seth Herzog, Larry Murphy, and Chelsea Peretti. We got a ton of amazing footage of the performances that’s going up on the site and on the podcast soon. We also have to add that big, evil gentrification is threatening to shutdown Rififi, and consequently give Invite Them Up the boot. So, there’s going to be a special podcast about that.
And that’s not to mention all of the random folks that just happened to show up last night, like Zach Galifianakis (who was sporting those big headphones that everybody seems to be wearing these days).
Anywho, if you’ve made it this far down in our ramblings and you’re in Manhattan tonight, come and join us at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater. The all-lady comedy revue that is the Variety Shac (Chelsea Peretti, Andrea Rosen, et. al.) is performing. And we’re going to be front and center and paying lots of attention.
Senatorturer here. I don’t normally blog, but I felt like touching base with everyone.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to give in and finally start an account on Myspace. I don’t like to brag or anything, but I’ve been getting a lot of friend requests from single women. It’s amazing how many girls have web-cams and edgy photos nowadays.
Recently, one girl in particular has gotten my attention. She seems different than the rest. Her name is Sharon, and she’s from Japan. A blonde from Japan! How exotic! I know what you are thinking. Long term relationships are ALWAYS a bad idea. But Sharon just feels right.
Her friends seem great too! I could totally see myself hangin’ with “I FROM DAT BANG CITY TEXAS MY NI**A.”
The only red flag that I’ve come across was on her “About Me.” She mentions having a boyfriend. I’m probably just overreacting. Her status is listed as single.
Dear El Douche A,
Listen here, you piece of garbage. Every day, I come to work at Williams Street and tolerate your constant abuse. Well, guess what? I’m not going to fucking take it anymore! Don’t expect me to fill your cubicle up with furniture again. That was just a taste of what’s to come.
Watch your back, you sonovabitch!

An ode to Atlanta’s public transportation.
A MARTA train, seen here cruising at a comfortable 25 miles an hour, ensuring that I am late for work every fucking day.
A MARTA employee on break, standing proud of his accomplishments while all east/westbound trains “single-track.”
Here, we see a happy group of commuters on Segways. A common sight on the train when you are on an “Out of Service” train with paid actors.
Next stop: Buckhead!
Maybe it’s time for me to get out my fucking checkbook and buy a car.
This douche play-acts like he’s all right with me and on my Republican team, but me, I think he’s full uh shit. All for show, it is. “All show and no-go Gallo” is what we call him at our rallies. Kinda like this guy.
But, you do gotta hand it to the prick, he can work it like a pimp.
