Mister Ron's Basement #1773

Tue, Sept 21, 2010 Mister Ron’s Basement # 1773 This week we have found some fun pieces concerning that great American sport, Fishing! Today’s tale originally appeared in The Weekly Museum Magazine way back in 1792. Reading it was tricky, because like so much printed lterature of that day, the letter ‘f’ and the letter ‘s’ look alike. Nevertheless, we offer up a handy tale of the uses of a big red proboscis in catching trout — it is called ‘A Red Nose.’ Time: approx five and a half minutes The Mister Ron’s Basement Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html *There is a nifty interview with Mister Ron in issue #59 iProng Magazine (now known as Beatweek Magazine) which can be downloaded at a new URL as a free pdf file here.  *John Kelly of The Washington Post has written a lively piece about the Basement. You can read it here. * Help Keep Mister Ron's Basement alive!
