[Coccygia]

One of our most well-known authors is the noted SF writer and paranoid schizophrenic, Philip K. Oyd.[float=right][/float]Mr. Oyd's career received a much-needed boost when the Psychotic Party (currently the ruling party) named him as their Official Writer (although Mr. Oyd is not involved in politics). Mr. Oyd, who also writes under various pen names including Adam Marchpaine, Francis Church (not be confused with Francis Church, a pseudonym of Adam Marchpaine, not to be confused with Adam Marchpaine, a pseudonym of Philip K. Oyd), Andy Royd, and Qing Root, is the author of many novels, including The Three Phlegmata of Edgar G. Ulmer, Ibid, A Daze of Meth, I Can Hallucinate It for You Wholesale, Do Robots Short-Circuit from Having Wet Dreams? and (under the pseudonym Adam Marchpaine) his magnum opus, The Solipsists' Convention, as well as the self-help (?) book You Are Not Real, and his autobiography, I, Android. There is also an an unauthorized biography by fellow SF writer Isidore C. Bass, Pan-Galactic Whack-Job. (Some think that Bass is in fact another of Oyd's pseudonyms, or vice versa.)

Nexus CEO Stephen Byerley is reportedly a big fan of Oyd.

Rumor has it that the Administrator also has a liking towards Oyd, particularly his chilling alternate history, The (Old) Man in The High Porch.

Given Oyd's penchant for unlicensed pharmaceuticals, perhaps that should be, The Man on the Porch, High.

The first title is actually correct as the subtitle is now get off my lawn you goddamn kids, making it one of the two popular Oyd titles to not have a reference to hallucinogens, the other being The Nominative Singular of the Latin Word for "Rampart" With One L Removed, Which Also Happens to be a God.
