Comment on Ramagon 2: the toy in action by Max

I still have my Ramagons, I was an enjoyable toy. The one thing I wanted to build was the “Space City” on the back of the box. But I didn’t have enough.

There is another toy a lot like Ramagons.

It’s close to the old Ramagons, but it lacks the sci-fi feel of Ramagons.

I too would like to see a return of this toy.

Thanks, guys. And what I love about my friends is that neither of you pointed out how badly I butchered the Eliot quote from memory.

Wow you just took me back. My mom worked for Ramagon back in the day. She was management, of some sort, at the injection moulding plant where they made and packaged them. I had so many of the things that we would build space ships, race cars, suits of armor, all big enough to get in.
The big flaw of Ramagon was the type of plastic that was used to make them. Something that could easily be over come today.
I have pics, some of the storage boxes, and a big cloth Ramagon bag full of the balls, but few of the connection rods.
It would be very cool to see this on the market again.

Comment on Virginia Glee Club: the musical comedy years by “Must be able to carry a tune” (Jarrett House North)

“Must be able to carry a tune” (Jarrett House North) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:13:04 +0000

Save for one or two phrases, this could be a description of the Glee Club I sang in, or the one that is under the direction of Frank Albinder today. But then in the middle, there’s that reminder that the Glee Club, like the University, was a creature of its times: “negro songs.” At least this incarnation of the Glee Club wasn’t performing them in blackface.
