is on the Speed Channel right now. The auctioneer (with his reading glasses on his head) is Spanky Assiter.
I know him.
Watch him. He's so much fun and so genuinely nice. He recovered from a brain tumor not so long ago.

Sorry, I'm currently reading In Praise of Slowness and I think watching the Speed Channel would be a conflict of interests.
And I don't have cable.

No. No man on God's green earth would have the name of Spanky Assiter.
Did he ever appear in a certain genre of movies?

Given his nickname, I think my question is still legit.

Well, I thought his website had the story of Spanky was one of those childhood nicknames he tried hard to get rid of, but it just stuck harder. That article must be at work.
