Mister Ron's Basement #687

Two pieces by 'Brick' Pomeroy wrap up the week -- first, the insanely nonsensical Preface to his 1868 book, 'Nonsense; or Hits and Criticisms of the Follies of the Day,' followed by a sharply satirical account of a female-disguised Pomeroy infiltrating 'A New England Sewing Circle,' from that same book.

Time: approx seventeen minutes

Mister Ron's Basement #686

The Velocipede was the cantankerous forerunner of the modern bicycle. In an 1871 account, Brick Pomeroy goes 'Riding A Velocipede,' with agonizing results.

Time: approx seven and a half minutes
