The central character of John Kennedy Toole's pulitzer prize winning novel A Confederacy of Dunces.
In his 30s, Ignatius still lives with his innocent, old, alcoholic of a mother. Despite his immense education and former profession as a university professor, our protagonist had no patience for his students' inferior minds.
He could be described as an oafish genius prone to fantastic levels of delusion. His epic viewpoint on even the most trivial of things makes it difficult to sustain a steady job. Ignatius has a particular interest in his disdain for pop culture, and modernity in general. In fact, Reilly goes to such great lengths to revel in this disdain that he will, for example, attend the movie theater just to fiercely ridicule the lesser films.
Easily rivals Patrick Bateman as the most unintentionally humorous fictional character of all time.

Bruce Lee: Who is more unintentionally funny, the infamous Patrick Bateman or the immortal Ignatius Reilly?
Jose Contreras: They're both gut wrenchingly hilarious. Ignatius is loveable despite his ridiculousness, Bateman is despicable but awesome from a birds eye view. Both are pretty far removed from reality in one way or another, but Ignatius is a far more interesting character though American Psycho's satire is more pointed and effective.
Bruce Lee: Would you shut the fuck up?

Jose Contreras: Daamn, I was wired-to-the-tits drunk last night.

Get the wired-to-the-tits mug.A drunk who is shy until last call, at which point he'll try to hook up with anything that has a pulse and/or booze at home.

Get the last call Lothario mug.1. A girl of alarmingly small stature; she is always short and, in practically every case very skinny as well.
Not only does she have these inadmirable traits but, in addition, she always acts fiesty and quite often is an annoying bitch.
Maret School President, and perhaps the most respected man when it comes to these matters, woo, recently expressed his sentiments on squabble snakes in an interview with Time Magazine, stating "when i see a squabble snake i usually like to keep my distance, however, when they are extra annoying, i sometimes need to act out of character a little bit and tear their clothing off and inflict pain."

Jose Contreras: How would you describe a squabble snake?
Bruce Lee: She is the kind of thing/girl you would pay money to kick.

Get the Squabble Snake mug.Perhaps the greatest jazz bassist of all time. An extremely influential and original composer as well.
Known for his legendary temper earning him the nickname "The Angry Man of Jazz." Mingus vented his frustration over racial injustice through public protest and occasionally musically. A great example being his brilliant "Fables of Faubus", a biting satire of sorts about the racist Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus.
He died in 1979 at age 56 of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease.
If you're just getting into Mingus, I highly recommend his classic 1959 album Mingus Ah Um. It's not only one of my favorite jazz albums but his most accessible work.

Bruce Lee: Jaco Pastorius is an absolute master and I dig his music, but Charles Mingus sucks me in more with his soulful sound.
Jose Contreras: Agreed, he's a more interesting composer. And what a fascinating motherfucker too.

Get the Charles Mingus mug.In poker, a technique in which a player reraises a weaker player's bet, trying to play him heads-up (one on one) by making it expensive for any other players to call.
Bruce Lee: LaVar Arrington used isolation on Warren Sapp and forced Urlacher, Shaq and Busta Rhymes to fold.
Jose Contreras: LaVar is a fucking monster at poker, I'd never sit down with him.
