American. 1935-1986. He wasn't invited -- though we probably said the invitation must have been lost in the mail. He recieves nothing.
A Curve Ball
Notorious racist, ham-fisted amateur pugilist and one-time Major League pitcher, the career of Ryan O'Donnely reads like a dime-store pulp novel. Famous for his O'Donnely's Ribhouse and Honkytonk restaurant chain which gathered incredible media attention in the mid-fifties both for its ability to draw the ire of civil rights groups and for its unusual architecture, being very clearly in the shape of a man urinating. His death was the subject of intense national curiousity due to the unusual circumstances.
A Gruesome Scene
His body was found completely dismembered, the stumps of which had been sealed in duct tape and tagged with intricate scribblings. Though this is known to be the method of execution favored by The League of Men with Fancy Gloves no emblematic red glove was found, suggesting a frame-job. A statue of O'Donnely was erected in his birthplace, Iagoville, Tennessee (since changed to Whitmanburg). Suspected to be a Noble in The League of Gnomes.
Known Works
