  • Jason Mewes was spotted on MTV’s “Obsourne Family Christmas Special”, airing all this weekend, singing “The 12 Days of Christmas”. It looks like the segment may have been filmed at the Return of the King premiere. The show will be re-airing all over the place on MTV, so check your listings or just turn the channel, you’re likely to catch it.
  • A pair of DJ’s known as Beaner & Ken are naming a list of the 5 funniest movies of all-time. They have named the top 4 and are letting the people decide the 5th. You can choose between Clerks, Ghostbusters, Blazing Saddles, and Animal House. Let’s help Clerks get to the top of the list! You can vote HERE.
  • The first issue of “Bail”, a new skate culture-related magazine, features Jason Lee on the cover (and a new interview inside). Grab a copy through their official site.
  • And finally today, there’s a small Clerks mention in the December 8th issue of Sports Illustrated:
“Life is a bitch in the trenches, especially when you’re facing a player like three-time Pro Bowl guard Ron Stone of the 49ers. “When Ron starts barking,” San Francisco tackle Derrick Deese says, “that means he’s whupping your ass.” Stone is especially prone to dogging weak defensive linemaen, known among their offensive counterparts as “clerks.” To Stone and his linemates, the word conjures more laughs than Kevin Smith’s cult film of the same name. “A clerk,” says Jeremy Mewberry, the Niners’ Pro Bowl center, “is someone who should be taking the groceries to your car.” Adds Deese, “We also call the ‘limo riders’ — we ought to send a limo to pick them up and make sure they get to the stadium on time.” “

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and you northeasters, get ready to dig out from our SECOND storm of the season already. Stupid snow.
