Hey, you guys, I’m writing this to you from the past! Right now it is Saturday night, but by the time you read this it will be Monday morning. PRETTY CRAZY, HUH?! What a world of magic and wonder. Anyway, the reason I am writing you this message from ancient herstory is because by the time this is posted I will be on vacation far away, in a land without Tumblr or anything. So, a nightmare, basically. Just kidding. It’s going to be (or I guess, as you are reading this, it is? Time is so complicated!) the best. But, so, while I am away, we are going to try something that we’ve never done before: guest bloggers. Neat! And they are all fellow monsters! Neater! Guest bloggers is something that real websites do on a pretty regular basis, actually, so I’m not sure what our problem is that this is such a “to-do.” Hopefully, if we all work together, we can make it the best week ever and I won’t ever have to come back! I can go live in a coconut under the ocean like Spongegabe Blogpants. (YUCK. I DID NOT JUST WRITE THAT. NEVER BRING THAT UP. THIS DIDN’T HAPPEN.)
Your guest bloggers for the week are as follows:
Monday: ThisIsMyNightmare
Tuesday: Brad O’Farrell
Wednesday: Gabe Liedman
Thursday: Becca
Friday: Wertttrew
Guys, please welcome them, please treat them with respect, please cheer them on, please send extra tips to tips@videogum.com. We’re a team, right? A team of adults? Right. So let’s act like it. Of course, worst case scenario, you all burn the place to the ground and I collect the iNsurance money. Get it? iPods but insurance. (Ugh. Maybe I should take TWO weeks off?) The number for the police is on the fridge. No parties. See you next week!

Sooo…can we still talk about SNL?
You mean Shoutfest ’11. That episode should have came with earplugs.
It’s anything with Russell Brand. I honestly can’t stand the guy and don’t even find him all that amusing. You throw in the shouting and this old lady gets real mad.
Side Note: I know Stefon is getting old…but I seriously still die laughing everytime he’s on.
“BRITISH ACCENTS. TEA AND BISCUITS. LORRY!” – SNL last week
Um… Papes I’m sure you meant english fest ’11 because Russel Brands inability to act in any way or change his voice made it so that EVERY sketch was an english joke.
Now I refuse to watch any of his movies, but out of curiosity does he shout in everything? From what I recall a number of years ago when he hosted the VMAs, it was rather shouty…and shitty.
Don’t worry, I recapped SNL! It will be up later!
YAY!!! This is gonna be a goody.
I hope you talked at length about how GIGANTIC Russell Brand’s head is. Dude looks like one of the Pep Boys from that Halloween episode of The Simpsons when all the advertisements came to life.
It’s interesting that Gabe put up a Weekend at Bernie’s picture today, since I’m still not totally convinced that Russel Brand isn’t a reanimated corpse. Seriously, I look at him and think “I didn’t know Tim Burton was making people now.”
Spongebob lived in a pineapple as we all know….
Some of us, far too well.
And by far too well, I mean I used to rent the show on DVD and watch it whilst wearing these:

Oh how I miss them! Slippers just don’t last forever!
DAMN!
You are welcomed with open arms, guest bloggers.
Open arms? Is that how it goes? I thought it was open legs. Man, that explains why no one ever calls me back.
I always get way more drunk for far less money when there is a guest bartender at a bar. I hope this is going to turn out somewhat similar.
Gabe is dead. Long live Gabe.
I think we should all switch places…dibs on “Guest Steve Winwood”!
I’ll be “Guest Frank Lloyd Wrong” because that dude has been killing it lately and I’d like to ride his coat tails a bit.
I’ll take Son of Gabe. I want to know what it’s like to be young again.
Son of Gabe is 55 years old.
Well I guess I’ll take “Guest This is my Nightmare”
Shouldn’t be too hard. I just have to talk about Ryan Gosling Peen every other comment.
As long as Dusky Panther’s gonna be Son of Gabe, I’m gonna be Dusky Panther because I just pooped.
I would ask to be “Guest Huckabeast” but I fear that I would suffer by comparison. I guess I’ll just be me.
His name was Gabe.
Or….His name was Hard Gabe.
His name was Gabe.
I up-vote you for your appreciation of Flight Club references.
It’s my favorite movie. I actually just saw it again this weekend, and it reminded me of how much I really do like it. It gives me hope that there can be other good Chuck Palahniuk book adaptations (looking at you “Choke,” you were such a bad film).
It is quite the movie but I must admit my sci-fi mind prefers movie adaptations of Philip K. Dick books. Specifically Minority Report and A Scanner Darkly. But his adaptations have had some stinkers too. Next.
So, you want to take a break. Is that what you’re saying? OF ALL DAYS?!
Dear guest bloggers,
And happy Valentine’s Day!
Love,
Superglue and the rest of the gang
Superglue will you be my valentine?
Yay! First post of the day and I already have a valentine in my homemade mail box that I hung off the side of my blog-desk! Thanks Burgy!!!
(Also, the answer is a-NO DOY)
Did I just call you Burgy? Good god. Valentine, revoked. I meant Slothy. Because I love you as much as I love Sloths, NO DOYYYYY.
I was going to break up this valentines relationship of the grounds that you share feelings of amicability for another man but I cannot hate someone who post such a beautiful portrayal of me. It captures my carefree attitude but also captures how I’m all business… Thank You.
“Oh, yeah, I try not to talk about it too much, but I’ve totally met one of the Videogum guest bloggers in real life.”–Baby Friday #humblebrag
Who is this “Gabe” fella. We want Nightmare!!!
So does this mean that werttrew won’t have to remind us about Friday chat in the comments?
Does this mean we can behave really badly and get away with it?
I DON’T LISTEN TO SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS! LA LA LA, NOT LISTENING!!
This is French class and you can’t speak French.
Désolé, je n’écoute pas!
I hope the guest bloggers just sit down with us and talk about their time in ‘nam. That was the best 4th grade substitute ever.
Once, we had a substitute in 7th Grade Biology. As we were going into class, the students coming out kept saying, quietly, “Ask her about Elvis.”
So one of us raised our hand as she was taking role and ask, “Do you like Elvis.” We spent the rest of the hour getting a detailed lecture on the tortures that the Sinner Elvis Presley was enduring in the bowels of Hell and that we would endure too if we did not accept Jesus in our lives.
It was the best day in that class that any of us ever had.
My favorite sub was the old Japanese man who would bring us donut holes and once picked up a misbehaving 4th grader and put him in the trash can.
My favorite 4th grade substitute was the dad of one of the guys in Cake (“HAHA WHAT A STUPID NAME FOR A BAND” – us in 4th grade) and he spent the day playing his ukulele and demo tapes for us (“Oh wow, this band is really good” – us in 7th grade when we heard those songs on the radio). Don’t mock your substitutes, kids.
My favourite substitute teacher was the one who was as tired of that bleach blonde kid as the rest of us and turned him into a ferret. Man, he was awesome.
6:30am Pacific Time is a reasonable time be awake because one of your friends is guest blogging on a Pop Culture blog filled with monsters right? Right. Good morning everybody!
I literally cannot think of a better reason to be up that early.
I’ve been awake since 8:14 Eastern Time! I even put on pants (work at a pants-optional law firm).
NnnnnnNNNNNnnnNNNNN!
With great power comes great responsibilifarts.
No guest blogger should have all that links to cat videos.
This is the bestest thing ever!
I am probably more excited about this than is normal and reasonable.
I know man. I know. So sad I have to work today!
On Friday I’ll be having a Thursday Night TV Open Thread and a Monsters’ Ball. I’ve also got a very special Never Say Never review I’ll be posting (I am writing this from jail).
Special for this week’s MB: I’ve asked EACH editor to supply me with an Editor’s Choice, so that’s up to five ECs on Friday! Best week ever for getting your EGOT card filled!
So this would be a good week to go for a double up too, right? Ummm… Everybody quick – think of your favorite thing from your childhood! A cherished toy, a favorite movie, a trip to Disney World, whatever. THAT THING IS UTTER GARBAGE AND YOU ARE THE WORST FOR LIKING IT.
Awaiting moderation my ass:
SUPER EXCLUSIVE BEST FRIENDS EXCLUSIVE CLUB Y’ALL BUTTHURT RYAN GOSLING+NIGHTMARE 4EVA!!
(Nailed it.)
Each editor gets an editor’s choice? This is my chance!!!
Ryan Gosling’s penis.
Matthew Morrison’s penis

You other two, I don’t think I know who you are? But I’ll come up with something special just for you! Maybe!
The guest blogger on Tuesday was the creator of Keyboard Cat.
No way Taco I’ve got you beat!
Nightmare,
I have got Ryan Goslings phone number on a piece of paper twirling around my fingers, He rode it himself. The paper says, “To my Biggest Fan and possibly more, Ryan Gosling.” If you wish to see the phone number and spend the rest of your life with Ryan Gosling then you know what to do. Its in your hands Nightmare. Your future is in your hands!!
SUPER EXCLUSIVE BEST FRIENDS EXCLUSIVE CLUB Y’ALL BUTTHURT RYAN GOSLING+NIGHTMARE 4EVAZZZZ!
(Yes. Nailed it.)
So this is basically like Egypt, right?
You are invited to join us as we establish democracy. B there or B Square!

I’m going to start a Tumblr called F**kyeahvideogum. It’s going to just be re-blogs of actual Videogum articles.
Favorite blogs be colliding! Tuesday: Zeldagum
I’m confused. Didn’t you JUST have three weeks off over Christmas??
Gabe has become LazyGum
GABATION
I said this on twitter then deleted it because of lack of nerve, but honestly a Gabe-cation from what? Your job is internet, lol. Watching funny cat videos? Making fun of rich people? WHO’S A RICH PERSON NOW, MR. HOLIDAY?!
But seriously, if you get vacations from working at home trolling the internet for youtubes and animated gifs and other goofs, SIGN ME UP. All I’m saying is that Gabe is super rich and entitled and we’re all just feeding his EgoGum.
(Vacations that are probably because they fired poor Lindsey who’s freelancing and writing for Yahoo! or something? Is that a thing? In 2011?)
Just downvote me already.
I forgot to mention he spends a lot of his “working time” tweeting as his dog. CASE CLOSED.
This may have been an over reaction. Also I know it’s Lindsay. That must be annoying, huh? People on the internet spelling your name wrong? Oh well. I’m gonna go have a breakdown in real life.
