42-10-27 Christmas Suggestions for the Boss #1

STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY AND BERNARDINE FLYNN

Vic and Sade read through Vic's pile of Christmas gift suggestions for the boss that he collected at work.

________________________

I don't know why but this strikes me as a strange episode. It lacks the bite of a normal episode and ends without a punch.

Trivia:

+ Sade ran into Rishigan Fishigan downtown.

+ We find out that Vic's secretary, Miss Hammersweet, has the first name of 'Olive.'

+ Irving, an office boy, is mentioned for the first time. He's a "funny guy" who works at Plant 14.

+ Lolita di Rienzi is also mentioned for the first time. All we know is that she uses purple ink in her pen and works at Plant 14.

+ Here is a composite list of gift ideas:
Candy
Cupie doll
Curry comb
Diamond ring
Dictionary
Fingernail file
Flowers
Fountain pen and pencil set
Garters
Gentleman's heavy leather hair brush
Golf clubs
Hair net
Horse blanket
Housecoat

Un champeau de pluey(?)
Un pantier de palms decare(?)

The kids loiterin' 'round the switchboard

Hi-de-hi-Ho-de-ho! My name is Jimbo. Shortly after finding Vic and Sade in 2010, I realized that finding the information I wanted about the show was pretty much non-existent. That's when I set out to solve that situation and do it myself.

Little did I know that in a parallel universe, Barbara Schwarz and The Friends of Vic and Sade were doing/had done the same exact thing I was doing - except very little of the info they had collected was on the internet.

Thanks to member Louie Johnson, the two materials were married and I went about adding everything they had to what I already had done. (Louie went way beyond the point of being generous in terms of sharing material)! Others have donated V&S material and I thank you.

Along the way, I was wise enough to get oceans of contributions from as many fans as possible, but especially from Lydia Crowe, (who is in the process of painstakingly taking the audio episodes and turning them into scripts -- plus she's adding commentary to go along with mine), Sarah Cole (whose Vic and Sade insight remains unparalleled) and Keith Heltsley (he frequently podcasts the show and makes his own comments). Dave (from Wisconsin) has shared his insight and expertise with us in a series of articles and his love for the show shines through them all.

The book by John Hetherington, Vic and Sade on the Radio: A Cultural History of Paul Rhymer's Daytime Series 1932-1944, is full of new material and it has opened up a whole new avenue and spectrum of previously unknown information for the Vic and Sade fan. Mr. Hetherington has provided me with lots of information and has patiently answered at least a zillion questions and for this I am very grateful.

The Vic and Sadecast (a podcast about the surviving episodes) is in full tilt. Jimbo, Dave Duckert, PQ Ribber and Shambles Constant handle that chore. There are other guests along the way - yell at Jimbo if you would like to be a part of this project.

And to those many others who have contributed with interviews, or have written pieces, provided original art or have provided info -- thanks to all; without you, this would not be the wonderful site it is.
