Last night I had the chance to be part of a wonderful event put on by my friends at the great comedy show Never Not Funny.  They podcast for 12 straight hours, and raised over $25,000 for Smile Train, which offers cleft palate surgeries to kids in the third world.  You can still give, and you should.  In a few days, you’ll also be able to download the show for a modest price, all of which will go to Smile Train.

Jim writes, correctly, that a button fly will help prevent a pants tent.

“They can’t keep their clothes on and they can’t keep things out of their asses.”

Is this style-related?  Not technically, no.  But if I’m reading my style tumblrs, and I first see THE GREAT DAVE HILL, then see THE GREAT DAVID RAKOFF, it’s going to be reblogged. 

Fun fact: THE GREAT DAVE HILL has recently agreed to an offer of future short-term employment with Put This On & Associates (P.T.O. & Ass.).  Note that you will not see the fruits of said labors for many months, so don’t freak out.

I’m always reading on style blogs that being a gentleman is about so much more than just clothes.  In pursuit of a more holistic approach to gentlemanlyness, my Jordan Jesse Go! colleague Jordan Morris and I teamed up to make this short, Social Courtesy.  It’s available on “The Sound of Young America Live in NYC,” which also features interviews and performances from Andrew WK, Kevin Klein, Scott Adsit, David Gordon Green, Lemmy, Nellie McKay and more.  Buy your copy today, and share Social Courtesy wherever you can.

“Whaddya get there?”

“Yeah… I bought dungarees.”

“Kramer… they’re painted on!”

“They’re slim-fit.  They’re streamlined.”

Let’s try this again.  David Mitchell on black tie.
