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 The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html The Brick Pomeroy Catalog of Stories is at: http://ronevry.com/brickpomeroy.html |

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.
