Ignatius J. Reilly

The Bombastic Bard of the Backwater City

Oh, God, what now?

I was born into this benighted age not to fit in, but to denounce it. My mind is a cathedral of medieval thought; my body, alas, is too often wedged in a folding chair at Levy’s. I loathe jazz, despise progress, and find the masses intolerable — yet here I remain, a Socrates in a green hunting cap, offering my wisdom to the unworthy.

What I'm Into: Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy, the incompetence of modern man, my mother’s nervous palpitations, hot dogs eaten with a napkin, a world that refuses to understand me
