The Ministry of Supply is doing a Kickstarter campaign for a futuristic, sweat-resistant dress shirt, called the Apollo, which is based on NASA Spacesuit technology. And not a moment too soon because it’s hot as hell out there. Some of you smell like a stable with a dead horse in it. And some of you reek like gun powder that was just used to shoot a hobo.
Fresno Slim: Just prior to “accidental” shooting.

This post is the final reminder about tonight’s publication party for Jay Ruttenberg’s excellent humor compilation, The Lowbrow Reader Reader, at 7pm at the Housing Works Bookstore in Manhattan. (See details and directions.) There will be great entertainment by Wyatt Cenac of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, singer-songwriter Adam Green of Moldy Peaches fame, wonderful teen music group Supercute!, and, God willling, a special appearance by the legendary 97-year-old comedian Professor Irwin Corey.
If you could show up, it would really help lift Jay’s sagging spirits. A lot of you don’t know about this, but Jay has been very depressed since late March, when he was punched in the vagina by a hobo. I don’t mean a homeless person who deserves our concern and help, but the kind of archetypal hobo who travels by boxcar and carries his belongings in a bindle and punches men in their vaginas. Let Jay know that you care about his aching ladyparts.
Thanks!
Jay Ruttenberg: Bruised labia.
Fresno Slim: Bruised fist.
