In the Armaggedon trilogy (Armageddon the Musical, Armaggedon the B movie, and Armaggedon the Remake) by Robert Rankin there is a character called Barry. He is, however, a talking, genetically engineered super brussel sprout who cna travel through time. He is sent from the planet Phnaaargos to save the world from holocaust in the year 2000 by saving Elvis Presley from death then living in his head and directing him on how to stop the apocalypse.
Robert Rankin says he gets his ideas from the ghost of his dead father who comes to him in his sleep. His father is known in the sci-fi community as "The Zen Yacthsman", very very odd, all of it.
