Turns out that ActiveRecord::Base objects already have a method called save_without_callbacks via an alias_method_chain on save/create/update/etc that's put there for adding callbacks to persistence methods (https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/v2.3.11/activerecord/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb#L223-225). Thanks to Bryce Kerley (@BonzoESC) for the answer.
