There is an episode of the Twilight Zone where the main character is named James WB Beavis. He gets a guardian angle that straitens out his life... Anyway, Rod Serling in the beginning refers to James WB Beavis as being "discombooberated".
from the department of everything eventually gets documented dept...
"In the parlance of the twentieth century, this is an oddball. His name is James B.W. Bevis, and his tastes lean toward stuffed animals, zither music, professional football, Charles Dickens, moose heads, carnivals, dogs, children, and young ladies. Mr. Bevis is accident prone, a little vague, a little discombooberated, with a life that possesses all the security of a floating crap game. But this can be said of our Mr. Bevis: without him, without his warmth, without his kindness, the world would be a considerably poorer place, albeit perhaps a little saner... Should it not be obvious by now, James B.W. Bevis, on whom Dame Fortune will shortly turn her back, but not before she gives him a paste in the mouth. Mr. James B.W. Bevis, just a block away from the Twilight Zone."
-Rod Serling 6/30/60
DARE records discombooberated as a variant of discombobolated, discomboberated from 1943.
