UPDATE: Since more information on the subject has come to light in the last 24 hours, I felt compelled to post an update. Thanks, hyblaean, for the thread today with more hard facts revealed. A third photo and additional key have been freshened up to include the latest (at the bottom).
With all the lively discussions going around about the OS Collage, and BBE’s commentary on the project, it’s now time to break it wide open. With some painstaking research of the commentary and previous posts, we’ve been able to determine the identity of Behind Blue Eyes. Like a police composite drawing, the pieces have come together for all to see.
Behold, BBE – REVEALED!
Here’s the indisputable evidence, based mostly on comments directly from BBE on DogWoman’s OS collage post yesterday. (Note numbered key on the photos)
We found this photo among the outtakes from the vast collection of Lonnie’s backside shots from that “halcyon day” in his youth that are circulating on OS. (Sorry, Lonnie, looks like it’s showing up again . . .)
“Oh, yeah, that's right. I'm actually Lonnie Lazar and this BBE thing is my verbal moon to match my photo.” BBE 11/24/08 4:43 pm
1) Wet pink flowing mane like Freaky Troll
“Freaky is an asexual hermaphrodite, the ultimate intersexed individual.” BBE 11/24/08 6:29 pm
2) Into cooking -- isn’t that Stellaa’s Greek Fish delight from back in September?
“Stellaa, everyone just KNOWS I am YOU.” BBE 11/24/08 3:48 pm
“Stellaa is devious and think about the cooking.” BBE 11/24/08 4:59 pm
3) Looks eerily like the Sexy Bionic Man scar on the back
“As I am actually Steve the Dog Woman's husband, I resent having my manhood called into question. Anger me and you will be positioned [on the poster] under the squirrel” BBE 11/24/08 6:29 pm
4) Is that really a Madame Bitch tattoo? Looks like the tube top was covering that up before. Apparently BBE took o’stephanie’s advice and used a tattoo to accessorize those scars.
“I just got an email that told me I am Madame Bitch.” BBE 11/24/08 5:27 pm
5) More Sexy Bionic Man Steve scars; check out the close up below
6) It can’t be – it is!!! Check out the close-up below. That’s Freaky Troll’s foot hole. No sense of modesty at all. That must have been one big mess to clean out after romping around all day on the beach.
NEW UPDATED PHOTO !!!
7) Isn’t that the signature hyblaen knit cap? Guess it got a little breezy out there on the beach that day and some serious headgear was in order.
“Good. It is time to head home and everyone knows I am YOU.” BBE 11/24/08 6:47 pm
8) Looks like Man Talk Now is lurking in the foreground. Let’s hope he’s got his eye on Stellaa’s Greek Fish delight and not anything else . . .
“And shut up, BBE. She's not you, she's me. Or I am she. Or something.” MTN 11/24/08 6:48 pm
“I've been asked by four or five people if you are me Man Talk. Could all three of us be us?” BBE 11/24/08 6:51 pm
9) Could it be? Yes, I think that is Greg’s Vintage Blue Miles Davis “Martin Committee” Trumpet. Thanks for the pointer, Paidraig!
“BBE is Greg” Paidraig Colman 11/25/08 9:13 am
10) marytkelly has been implicated as well. She was just a bit too interested in the Naked Pumpkin Run . . .
“I have everyone fooled. I am both BBE and Man Talk Now AND Madam Bitch! My secret is out...” mtk 11/24/08 7:38 pm
That’s it, definitive proof. Now we've got a visual of BBE rather than just the blue motorcycle avatar. Maybe this new BBE (Lonnie/Freaky/Stellaa/DogWoman’s Steve/Madame Bitch/hyblaen/MTN/Greg/mtk cross) photo should be the avatar used when the count gets up to 399.
“You'll never get to 400. Never. I am so sure that you will never get to 400, that if you get to 399 I will let you use me for 400.” Behind Blue Eyes 11/24/08 2:29 pm

Send us your avatar photos, the rest of you 5880 useless slackers! (That would include all three of you Editors, btw!)
Kudos for all the work put into it.
CLASSIC
Lonnie, you BASTARD! LMAO

(I don't buy the BBE diversion to Lonnie...he might be grumpy but she has him beat for curmudgeonliness)
the foot hole is hawt.
Consider it my gift to the community.
Great work Steve; BBE, now you've been punk'd
Thank you for editing # 4b.
BBE has really nice calves.
Sally -- maybe we can get you to help with the hounding when (if) the time comes. We'll get BBE in this thing one way or another.
You betcha! I am two years away from finishing my fancy degree so I will be able to spend tens of dollars to buy ass and this bionic one (which I have been faced with in so many places on this website) will definitely be on my list!
Anyone remember the movie Sybil?
How close are we to 399?
I think I know who Man Talk Now is, for real.
Didn't think I'd find your confession did you? We're here to help. Besides, you've already gotten on board the project with the rest of the lemmings. Wait a minute . . . Or are the ones that have JOINED the project the real trailblazers?! The vast majority are still sitting on the sidelines, so therefore THEY must be the lemmings . . . The current count, by the way, is over 120. We're expecting a big push after the holidays . . .
Kudos for putting my Committee on there. Forever grateful. It's lying on my lap as I talk like a puppy with it's daddy.
Steve, I suggest we get tarheeltoker to find out the number of members at OS who have made more than five posts to their blog. I'm willing to take my clothes off on a northern California beach and let o'stephanie take my picture if that number is higher than 150.
If we're gonna abide by the 400 goal, I'm afraid we're going to have to include a bunch of grey ghosts.
I type 100,000 WPM. :-DDDD NAKED!
Did the sand hurt your nut sac? Just wondering.
As for the other claims, I'm not so sure. Freaky, we know, has no problem with nudity. But I can't see Stellaa or Madam B going nude for our viewing pleasure. Bionic Man? Maybe. Man Talk? He'd probably go nude, but BBE clearly writes better than Man Talk.
There is so much more mystery to uncover.
I'm bringing my camera....
Of course, it is always just a tease, because nude photos of ourselves are prohibited on Open Salon. There are ways to get around such a prohibition (we don't always have to meet here, for example) and I, for one, am tempted by the idea, perhaps because I don't have much problem with nudity for the sake of prurience.
I wish that I were even half as popular as BBE.
Blue Eyes will never be "house broken" or a tame conservative and more power to him.
BBE only posts sporadically and comments pithily.
Greg (however many of him there is) gets the medal for Stakhanovite devotion to duty in the cause of OS productivity.
Tarheeltoker: "there were 464 users who had at least 10 posts that accounted for 72% of the total posts."
I've decided I want to be Hardballs, Colman, and the squirrel. Their posts are always editor's picks and they're always monopolizing the cover. Remember the OS battle cry, Me Me Me!
