Hi all,

Kelleher99 asks:

>Anybody know where in Vineland TRP refers to "the deuteragonist of Donkey
>Kong"?

In the Gelsomina Wayvone wedding scene, p. 95 (hardback edition):

  Billy Barf, whose acquaintance with anything Italian was limited
  to the deuteragonist of Donkey Kong and a few canned-pasta
  commercials, insisted on speaking with his imperfect idea of
  an ethnic accent until Isaiah Two Four, detecting not only its
  inauthenticity but also its potential for insult, drew the young
  band eponym aside for a word or two, though Ralph Jr., who had
  talked Californian all his life, had only taken it for some kind
  of speech impediment.
