The Crazy World of Vic and Sade: 39-11-xx Easy Slipper and Storage Space Season

39-11-xx Easy Slipper and Storage Space Season

Dialogue only:

Sade: Had about fourteen conversations about Christmas an' the mail man brought three letters about Christmas. Willie, will ya run out in the dining room an' bring what's on top of the buffet?

Rush: Sure.

Sade: (To Vic) Golly, how time flies. Christmases pile up on top of each other like oysters. (Giggles) Well, the easy slipper season's started.

Vic: Has it?

Sade: Bess asks what size easy slipper you take in her letter an' so does Dottie Brainfeeble.

Vic: Every year Bess asks what size easy slipper I take. Why don't she make a note of it on her cuff?

Sade: (Lightly) Oh, well.

Rush: (Coming up) No mail today for me, huh, mom?

Sade: Guess not. (To Vic) Say, an' the storage space season has started.

Vic: Storage space season?

Sade: People wantin' storage space for their Christmas presents.

Vic: Oh. Um.

When Sade speaks of "storage space season" - one of the things she is probably talking about is Mr. Erickson's request to store stuff over at their house, which he did

The date is guesstimated. The title is one I made up for identification purposes only.

I would think that Sade could also be referring to the practice of hiding Christmas presents at friend's houses as referenced in "39-12-15 Sade Needs A Gift – Quick!" We participated in that practice when our sons were young and their present was a bike. The sweet next door neighbor hid the bikes in her garage until Christmas morning! I'm glad she didn't have to borrow them to give Freda Chinbunny a quick present.

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.
