HOW TO SHARPEN PENCILS: The People's Bailout →
howtosharpenpencils:
This is a long post but it’s about something pretty interesting so I hope you’ll indulge … Like many folks, Occupy Wall Street has been some doing good work in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, helping people on the ground. Now OWS is launching the ROLLING JUBILEE, a program that has been in…
This is fucking incredible.

eHaberdasher Suits
One of my favorite discount sites has a handful of his in-house brand suits back in stock, and I recommend them as a reasonable off-the-rack suit purchase.
The suits feature unfinished sleeves(for easier adjustment to your arm length), functional boutonnière with keeper loop(for the flower stem), traditional styling, and most important - a fully canvassed jacket.
Look for the...

Dear Mel,
I’ve just received the costume sketches. I’ll tell you...”

Mr.Porter Spring Sale(Part 1)
Today the seasonal sales kicked off at Mr.Porter, and quite a bit of their stock is getting depleted rapidly. There’s so much at this store I like, I’ve had to break this rundown into several components. First up is the stuff most likely to sell out(apart from the things that have already sold out, like the cheapest suits and blazers) - accessories! Remember, there are plenty more things on sale,...

It’s true. Now you may buy my most recent stand-up special on DVD and watch it all damn day.
This is the full set that was recorded that fateful night in October, 2011. The broadcast version was only 42 minutes long, but this sumbitch runs one hour and fifteen minutes. Uh, that seems like a…
Here’s the XBL/Zune link to buy Tompkins’ new show:...

I didn’t play this game when it released(I’m not that old, come on), but the first time I played was with the original booklet. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am that it is getting a deluxe edition release. It’s almost as fantastic as the news that the set will have miniatures that don’t require painting!
…plus, you can get faction lapel pins. I...
Whisky! (Also Whiskey)
I can’t remember how I found this book(probably due to all the whiskey that came shortly after), but it is one of the best things I’ve found this year.
Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2012 - you may not share his taste preferences, but at the least it will guide you toward better whiskey. The iOS/Android editions are worth the extra expense, since the bible is searchable and you can...
