Ish Kabibble (Born Merwyn Bogue January 19, 1908 – June 5, 1994) was a comedian and cornet player.
He studied law at West Virginia University, but his comedy antics soon found an audience. He performed with Kay Kyser on the television quiz show Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge in 1949 and 1950.
In his 1989 autobiography, Bogue explained his stage name, which he took from the lyrics of one of his comedic songs, "Isch ga-bibble".
The song derived from a mock-Yiddish expression, "Ische ga bibble?", which was purported to mean "I should worry?", prompting a curious (and perhaps not coincidental) association of the comedian with the "What, me worry?" motto of Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman.
The expression "ische ga bibble" is not Yiddish and contains no Yiddish words at all. However, there is a Yiddish expression, "nisht gefidlt," meaning "it doesn't matter to me," from which the term "ish kabibble" may derive. Your assignment for this simple two step multi is to derive the correct name on the marker at the posted coordinates.
Although Bogue's stage persona was that of a dimwitted person, he was a notable cornet player and was also business manager for the Kay Kyser Orchestra from 1931 to 1951.
The Kyser-Peck Cemetery is host to this cache. The road leading to it is so bad that it will be closed in wet weather. It's not a very long hike from the south side if the roads are closed. You are looking for a large Silver bison tube. The D rating is little high since it was based on the original hide. Out of courtesy to all previous finders, it will not be changed.
