- Auctions Askew, the only website in the world where you can own authentic, one of a kind (or close to it) props used in all of View Askew’s films. Own a piece of View Askew history and display it proudly, making your friends and family insanely jealous. This stuff is always so cool we wish we could just buy it all right up. But we can’t. That’s where you come in. All you do is put in a bid, and hope that others don’t bid higher than you do. The stuff goes to the highest bidder at the end of each bidding period. Most of this stuff won’t ever be back (since there’s only one of it, usually), so make sure you bid enough to nab it. Or live in regret!
This week, there’s quite a range of items. Screen used Mooby meal items, which we saw in person on the Clerks II set and can attest are quite nifty and impressive to show off. And the official Mooby’s flag seen in the film (our favorite this week). The cow tipper poster would look hilarious in your rec room at home, ready for framing! And, of course, that VERY rare and cool Brodie sign, which we’re betting will be the big ticket item of the bunch. For beautiful, full color large photos, descriptions, and to make a bid, visit Auctions Askew. Watch it though, one of these weeks we’re just not going to be able to resist bidding on something for ourselves. It’s great to see these icons making their way into the hands of the fans, though, so enjoy.
We hear that Auctions Askew will return once a week with new items for the next TWO MONTHS! Good news if you’re waiting for that something special. Over the next two months, we’ll offer up props dating from “Chasing Amy” all the way to the present. Don’t miss your chance to own a part of View Askew. Visit Auctions Askew and register to bid today. Good luck to all!

- San Diego Con Panel Update! We’ve just received word from the Spike TV people that Thursday’s panel, ‘Scream’ Like a Girl, is now confirmed for 4:45 p.m. to 5:45. They’re moving to a bigger room as they’re expecting quite a crowd for this one. As always, when you get to the Con in a couple weeks, double check the time and place of where you want to go, as there are sometimes last-minute moves. Man, do we need to get to San Diego’s Con one of these years.
- We’re told that Clerks II Mooby box is indeed popping up at a few other Best Buy locations in the country — So look around, as $12.99 for that collector’s item is a steal — A great item for Kevin and crew to sign, and also something (as far as we know, at least) that remains a Best Buy exclusive, so you can’t get it anywhere else. Worth picking up even for those of you already with the disc. The website also has limited copies. My meal is upstairs in the shrink wrap, of course — Gotta keep it collectible!
- And hey, while you’re online shopping, don’t forget to check out the latest Stash items, including that Monroeville Jersey that we’re hearing is selling as fast as they can be made, so BUY SOON - Don’t wait. Also, visit the sponsor that makes SModcast possible, ThinkGeek, a website which go much great stuff you’ll want one of everything — They’ve had items on our Christmas lists for years. Thanks, ThinkGeek!
- The cast of “My Name Is Earl” participated on last night’s edition of “Celebrity Family Feud” — They did things a bit different for the show, though, actually staying IN CHARACTER unlike other celebs who have been, well, themselves. It of course made for some hilarious moments (particularly the introductions). Earl and friends faced some of Camden County’s most memorable, led by the great Tim Stack. Unfortunately, we didn’t see Lee and Ethan get a ton of lines or camera time, but that’s game shows for ya. Miss it? Watch it now for FREE on Hulu!

- AV Club features the great “Dogma” in their list of “16 Protested Movies”. Their intriguing list features a write-up and a clip from each of the listed. Here’s what they say about Kev’s 4th:
“Writer-director Kevin Smith is a practicing Catholic who, like a lot of religious filmmakers, tends to work out issues of faith on film. But some of the faithful, spurred on by the Catholic League, weren’t amused by Kevin Smith’s 1999 film Dogma, a profanity-rich satire of contemporary religion that went through two release dates and two distributors before debuting in a hailstorm of protests, including one group of New Jersey picketers joined by an incognito Smith himself. The film was released to considerable success, and the Catholic Church somehow survived.” - Bodyboarder Rex Moribe mentions Kevin in a couple answers for a “25 Questions” spot in the new Bodyboarder Magazine. Check out questions #18 and #23. Scan’s above!
- Buddy Christ’s showing up once again on the web this week — He appears on a television at Cracked.com for a blog post on “20 Jobs Too Awesome To Exist”. Check out item #7 there.
- And last, but certainly NOT least — We can now confirm that our personal favorite View Askew item of all time, the Monroeville Zombies Hockey Jersey, has officially arrived! Those of you who have preordered will be first in line and get your shipments soon. If you live in the area of Laser Blazer in Los Angeles, Ron confirms that they’ve got them in stock in ALL SIZES inside the store in Secret Stash West. We imagine the Red Bank Stash also has these fine items in stock as well. If you buy one View Askew item this year (or even 5 or 10), make it this brilliant item, soon to be seen onscreen in “Zack & Miri Make a Porno”, even sooner on this webmaster’s back! Order online now or visit Stash West & East. Enjoy the weekend! See ya back here soon, and even sooner if breaking news occurs.

The GREATEST Auctions Askew Items. EVER.
- Kevin posts to his usual haunts today of a Myspace tragedy that you might have read about in the news and shares his thoughts. You can read the blog entry titled “Parental Guiadance Suggested” for more on that note. So, that’s the sad news, but here’s the big news — Auctions Askew has joined forces with Profiles In History, the largest online movie pop auction company. Starting this Friday, December 14th, at 2:00 PM EST, you will have the chance to put in bids on what has to be the most amazing list of View Askew prop history we have EVER seen. Ever. This is truly an amazing array, folks. We’re talking that famous tanktop that Rosario wore in Clerks II. Yeah, that one. Or how about Eliza Dushku’s catsuit from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back? Ben & Matt’s “Dogma” duds? That’s just for starters. In addition to the amazing clothing choices, the props are among the best and most memorable that we’ve ever seen.
From Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, there’s the “ET” bike. The Blutman & Chronic marquee (man, would that look AWESOME in my gameroom). The Potzers Inc sign from Holden’s new office building. A bloodied up Mooby poster from the Dogma boardroom scene. We’re talking major WOW factor here, folks. These aren’t items that were off to the side of the screen. This stuff was seen, plain as day, used all OVER the place in the flicks. You will truly own a one-of-a-kind, jealously-inducing prop from some of the funniest films ever made. This is a big chance, and it’s likely the best lot of merch we’ll ever see from View Askew at one time. It’s the holidays, folks — If you’ve been saving up for something or plan on a windfall from grandma come the end of the month, it’s time to get those bidding fingers ready.
See the full list of goodies at the official Profiles Auction page at View Askew. You’ll see a long list, complete with photos and descriptions, of everything being offered. Direct bidding links for each item are located there as well. You’ll need to register through ebay’s live auctions site to bid, but it’s free, so get going. Don’t miss out on this one. We won’t. Must…bid….on….everything!
Good luck to you all — And if any of our wonderful readers are lucky enough to score something, drop us a line and let us know of your new prize possession. Happy bidding.

- Kevin and Scott cut a new promo that’s airing in regular rotation on Opie & Anthony’s XM 202 (the “Virus” channel) about SModcast airing every Saturday night at 8PM as part of the Saturday Night Virus block of programming. If anyone’s got an audio capture for us, send it on. We’d like to share it, then archive it.
- The voice of Jason Mewes returns in another episode of Superdeluxe’s “The Whiskers and Mr. Fancy” series titled “Mr. Stone”. The web-crafted serial features live-action cats blended with static backdrops. Mewes plays “Whiskers”.
- Turns out that those two tees we recently mentioned had already quietly arrived over at the online Stash! Pick up the Clerks II Jay and Bob and Goodbye Horses “tuck” shirts now, and have yourself some nifty holiday gifts, for you or your pals.
- A fairly amusing Photoshop job of Jay and Bob as Jedis appears at this contest over at the Worth1000 website. We believe you need to register with the website to view other entries, so we’ve just put the fan-crafted photo here.

New Stash Swag & Fantastic Specials!
- New swag’s shown up at our online superstore, Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. Now’s the time to get those early holiday orders in and beat the rush. Now shipping in late November and up for pre-order are the sure to be popular View Askew Christmas cards. These cards are rare, and never before available for anyone but friends, family, and staffers. $19.95 per set.
Two new Clerks II shirts also quietly showed up this week, including Jay’s famous moment and an unforgettable image from that great dance sequence. Shirts are black and run $18.00 and up.
The choices are more staggering than ever at the online store, with prices suited for budgets large and small. Heck, you can get an authentic Mooby’s cup for just $1.99. Signed copies of the new book. Signed DVDs for movies Askew and non-Askew. Tons of exclusive variant action figures. If you haven’t been to the store in a while, surf on over.
While you’re there, make note of the fantastic closeout specials on the front page, including one of the best bargains we have ever seen — These ceramic bookends adorn both our offices at home and are among the pride of our collections. A total steal at $29.99, marked down over 75%!
Finally, we know that you’re as anxious as we are to get your mitts (or a look) at the Clerks II inaction figures. At presstime, we still can’t confirm any release or pre-order dates, but we’re hopeful that if Kevin and Ming have a moment, they may share some new info with us (or maybe some more pics). We’d sure love to see them making their way under fan’s trees this holiday season. We’ll keep you posted, as we cruise into the busiest swag sale time ‘o the year.

What’s Up With Stash West, Zack & Miri, & More…
- Stash West returns to California in mere days, as part of the great Laser Blazer DVD store in LA. Certainly sounds like a match made in heaven to us — Now, a one-stop shop for your comics, Askew goodies, and the latest DVD releases. Wow. Kevin says:
We’re re-opening Nov. 19th at our new location!Anyone who’s read “My Boring-Ass Life” knows that I’m a big, fat DVD junkie, and that my pusher is Ron, who runs Laser Blazer - the best DVD store in Los Angeles (if not the world). As you might’ve read in the last big blog entry, rather than see us close up shop on the West Coast, someone offered the Secret Stash West a new home. That someone was Ron. That home is inside Laser Blazer.
So for the last two weeks or so, Ron’s been pulling out all the stops, demolishing a large section of his store to make room for the Stash…
We’re betting they’ll plan something very special for fans kind enough to attend the grand opening — Watch this site for details on what’s to come, in just a bit over 2 short weeks. It’ll be the perfect chance to pick up some Christmas gifts for you and yours. Congrats to Stash West on the new location!


More on Kevin’s week over at the Myspace blog. This week, he reveals he’ll once again (alas) miss the chance to direct an episode of the awesome “Battlestar Galactica” due to the “Zack and Miri Make A Porno” shooting schedule. The Pittsburgh production office is now officially open, so let the production talk begin! No confirmed casting yet, though we can bet the floodgates are going to open any day now — Not just with the two leads, but some nice supporting roles as well. The guys manage to do very well with the faces in the flicks, we’re expecting some pleasant surprises.
