They Might Be Vic and Sade Fans

Sundance Award Winning Filmmaker Jason Willis is a big Vic and Sade fan. You might remember his references to Sishigan, Michigan and Gus Fuss (and perhaps others) in Catnip: An Egress to Oblivion.

He's the director of the They Might Be Giants' Video, "Shape Shifter":



Take notice of the "guy" whose head turns into a beer can - then have a really close up view of the can, here. There are a few Vic and Sade goodies there.

Thanks to Jason for helping keep Vic and Sade alive!

More on Brokaw Hospital

According to "Shambles Constant", a fellow who lives in Bloomington, Browkaw Hospital is right across the street from the house Paul Rhymer grew up in on Virginia Avenue.  I wonder why the hospital is rarely spoken of in the show?  The hospital has been there since the late 1800's.

(Note to "Shambles" - I just NOW saw your comment about the hospital that you made in November..)

Browkaw Hospital

Hey everyone, I'm still alive.

My scanner still isn't working but I hope to try again very soon.  Meanwhile, I do have a couple of things for you:

In the episode, 32-07-28 Vic Is Asked To Be A Mannequin, there is reference to a Brokaw Hospital.  It never occurred to me, until today, to look that up but when I did, I was totally surprised at what I found.  Check it out.

Also, there will be a special two part podcast that will be released sometime in the next week hopefully, highlighting the nine best-sound episodes of Vic and Sade with commentary by PQ Ribber and yours truly.  There is also going to be a (probable) weekly podcast about Vic and Sade where various episodes will be discussed.  We probably won't go through the entire series or anything like that, but certain episodes will be discussed until we choke Billy Patterson.  Stay tuned for information.

Have a safe holiday time.

Stuff happens

Scanner troubles, other junk

Every now and then, the power cord comes out of the scanner and then I experience a load of problems.  This just happened the other day.  It is a very difficult problem for me, one, because I don't see very well and two, it's just exhausting and frustrating.  I will keep trying and eventually, it will work.  It may take a couple of more days but I hope not.   It seems like everything is set right and then I try it and it doesn't work.  Scream time!!

Also, I know people who love me to death and love Vic and Sade even more and yet cannot STAND my little Vic and Sade songs done on a vocoder of all things.  Yes, these were all written by me and they are just silly little songs and I KNOW you people hate them.  I'm sorry you hate them.  The vocoder was never made to have people singing entire songs in them and if they were, you'd expect some more musical accompaniment, right?

Don't hate me.  Please don't hate me. I bet Mr. Rhymer would laugh at me - you should too.

Grrrr

Well, I fouled up the links to the script this morning.  They are fixed now.

Found a full script for...

Just the other day, I unearthed some dialogue for 32-01-28 Vic is Asked to be a Mannequin.  This morning, I found a whole script for it, which I posted at the above link.

There's not much in there that we don't know, except that it looks like Vic might not have been 110% against it when Sade began turning him into a mannequin.  And then it was like a cartoonish-snowball.

The other side of the tracks

Nine year-old Rush runs away from home after his buddy faces racial discrimination.  Yeah, this is 1932 Vic and Sade.  Now with some dialogue.

That Van Harvey fellow

Here's Art Van Harvey in Author's Playhouse in 1945.  Vic-ish, but un-Vic-ish as well,  :)

Sade makes a dummy out of Vic

Some dialogue from a script from 1932: Vic is Asked to be a Mannequin.

Vic loses it

Vic can't control his laughter when Sade gets another dumb letter from Bess.  See the full, fun script.

More songs

More songs about Vic and Sade and other junk too.

Uncle Headache

Uncle Fletcher gives Vic a headache in the latest, full script that's now up on The Crazy World web site.  44-03-25 Testing Mis' Keller's Phone

Lazy as a rabbit

A heads up for you: I'm being lazy this weekend.  I'll be back at it tomorrow.

I'm actually working on cleaning up a script, so it's not like I am down at the Y, watching the fat men.  However, I have been involved in a couple of projects other than Vic and Sade and put the show's work on the back burner.

I didn't want you to think I had joined up with Nicer Scott to form an anti-Vic and Sade league.

I also wanted to shout out to all the folks that have written me an email the past couple of weeks.  It is wonderful to get new visitors to the site and your encouragement is very important to me.  Thanks for all of that stuff. :)

Songs about Vic and Sade

You will find several, short Vic and Sade inspired songs in my latest podcast over at the ONSUG.  There have been a couple of songs written about Vic and Sade, but I think I've set a record for this podcast.  There will probably be more to come.
