November 04, 2007 Mister Ron's Basement #898
Sun, Nov 04 2007 Mister Ron's Basement #898 Our Monday book serialization is George Ade's 1903 collection, 'In Babel -- Stories of Chicago.' The stories in this book range from the hysterically funny to the pathetically sad. Altogether, they paint a fascinating portrait of turn-of-the-last-century Chicago. In today's tale, a nasty man comes up with a clever way of insulting his relations in 'Mr. Payson's Satirical Christmas.'

November 04, 2007 Mister Ron's Basement #897
Sun, Nov 04 2007 Mister Ron's Basement #897 SUNDAY SALAD offers up TWO Stanley Huntley stories today, both from 1881 -- in the first tale, 'The Modern Anectode Relator' a man with a memory problem doesn't ever get around to the point of a story (and neither does his listener). The second tale -- perhaps a deservingly forgotten Spoopendyke story that was never reprinted -- gives us a glance at Mr. Spoopendyke's nastiest side during a gin hangover, in 'After A Matinee.'

Thu, Nov 01 2007 Mister Ron's Basement #895 Today's tale by John Kendrick Bangs does not feature a ghost, but nevertheless, still offers a truly out-of-the-ordinary experience that, when you visualize it, will stick in your mind for many years to come.
