So you are the lord of tentacled madness!! I had no idea, but I really should've guessed.

My name is the name of a charater from the Armeggedon Trilogy by Robert Rankin (Armeggedon the Musical, Armeggedon the B-movie, and Armeggedon the Remake.)

The character is a genetically engineered sentient brussel sprout from the planet Phnaargos. He is sent to earth to attempt to stop Armeggedon by rescuing Elvis Presley from premature death and acting through him to avert nucleur holocaust. He eventually decides to name himself, and decides on the name Barry. When Robert Rankin was asked how he got his ideas he replied "The ghost of my dead father visits me in my sleep.".

If you want to check him out try www.sproutlore.com. Try the biography on there, it really is rather odd...
