Anything Must Go

In case you somehow missed the sudden increase in illuminated yard Santas, red tide, and men wearing sausage hats, it's December! For most of you that probably means a time for festivities, whether it's Christmas, Chanukah, or some other bizarre religious kook extravaganza. Here at Something Awful we like to mark the end of each year by cleaning out all of the props and equipment that we no longer need for generating comedy. By year's end our offices are overflowing with all manner of industrial comedy machinery, animal parts sent to us as threats, and blackmail photographs of Lowtax eating pie in the bathtub. Luckily for our readers we intend to do the noble thing and pass the savings on to you! That's right ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for our annual fire sale, and boy have we got some fantastic bargains for you.

To start things off our bargain hunters have taken a trip into the cluttered workspace of the man, the legend, the Rich Kyanka. They have poached up some deals so amazing that you would have to be an anti-savings savant to pass them up.
