Mister Ron's Basement #1605

Sat, Feb 27 2010 Mister Ron's Basement #1605 Our Saturday Night Special story is truly special today! From The New York Weekly Magazine of July, 1796, we have discovered a piece by a writer who calls himself Tyranculus, concerning what was then becoming a vanishing custom, and putting the final kibosh on it. The piece is called 'On the Three Cornered Hat.' Time: approx five and a half minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html  John Kelly of The Washington Post has written a lively piece about the Basement.
