I hope I am not endangering my life by revealing this, but . . . Through deciphering the lyrics of Inka-Dinka-Doo, I have discovered that Jimmy Durante and Sophie Tucker married and had a family during their vaudeville days in the early 1920s. This has been covered-up by the William Morris Agency for decades, but their descendants live among us. Possibly in Iceland.
I’m now going over Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble frame by frame in an attempt to get to the bottom of The Di Vine Code.
We all know that he faked his “death”, when he so obviously “kicked the bucket” in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. He was seen for years afterwards.
I await your identification of the elusive Mrs. Calabash. And where she was.
Just yesterday I was listening to a description of The Epic of Gilgamesh and, whenever the name “Enkidu” was mentioned, I began singing “Inka-Dinka-Doo” to myself. I now realize that Jimmy Durante was actually Gilgamesh, still wandering the earth grieving for Enkidu. I’m still working on the connection with Mrs. Calabash.
Myself, I’ve been working on the De Macratic Code, but it’s impossible to decipher, its messages confusing, and the characters completely unbelievable.
Eve, I’ve always believed there was a connection between Durante and Toucan Sam, who used to sell Kellogg’s Fruit Loops – Sam’s catch phrase was “Follow your nose!”
I think if you check the code again, you may find the clues direct you to Central America rather than Iceland.
The love child should be easy enough to find. I mean, imagine growing up in the shadow of “Da Shnozz”. Literally. Just look for the whitest kid in the world.
All of these discoveries are rather interesting, seeing as I just discovered some sort of hidden code inside of a number of Tom Jones songs. I’m calling this one the De Lilah Code. It seems rather unlikely that so many codes would be discovered at one time, but then again, it’s not unusual.
I’ve spent many years engaged in deep research into the Ancient Manuscripts of Aquilonia. I’m convinced through the use of meta textural analysis that some of them are not geniuine. The fake ones can be detected by using the L. Sprague De Camp Code.
It may be worth noting that Pink Flamingos is an anagram of Flaming Pinkos, while Female Trouble is an anagram of Baleful Remote; surely this Means Something.
I have hit upon a theory that Durante and Tucker’s love child may have been disguised as a purse-lipped British character actor. This is, of course, the De Wolfe Code.
Try again. Remember that the serpent ate the fruit of immortality before Gilgamesh could get to it.
Eve I’ve got an important key here. They claim it’s a Freddy Krueger doll. I know better. For one thing, Freddy’s sweater is red and green. This doll’s shirt is yellow and green. Second, the head resembles nobody except Jimmy Durante! Why is Jimmy dressed as a movie maniac? I don’t know.
But I do know ROY G BIV. This doll replaces red with yellow giving us YOR G BIV or “You’re G BIV.”
There’s also the D. Sabella code. “A little bit of good in everyone,” my ass. Sabella is hiding something and I think Mary Sunshine is part of it, too.
