Update: Yes, the b-day was a couple of days ago, but after looking at this, and reading all of the comments... back during a livelier time in this corner of the blogosphere, I had to put it up again, before it goes back into hiding.
What we learned from this?? Snag also had a pron stash... ZRM did not. ZRM had a music stash.
Bimler?? Well... I'm guessing bimler just had a stash.
Belated Happy, Snag!
Yes, I got permission to post the picture. He just didn't know it would be with birthday wishes.
Fortunately Mr. Mystery Blogger gave up the charcoal cancer sticks long ago so he'll be with us for decades to come, whether he wants to blog or not...
Also, doesn't this photo look like it should have been on a 70's album cover?? I love it.
Happy Birthday Mystery Blogger! May this next year be filled with bourbon, moose, meat, bacon, sausage, more meat, more bourbon, duvets in every color, obedient children, and a wonderful new job... and maybe just a few more blog posts.
Zappa?

David Crosby's 2nd cousin?...But who is it actually, or is that something you'll never tell us? I'm guessing one of the guys who regularly comment here, but perhaps that's just what you want us to think. (I have a couple of likely candidates, which I'll keep to myself for now.)
But Happy Birthday to whoever it is, as birthdays are always good things to have.

Happy B-Day, Mr. Duvet!

Zappa... :) Yes, it's a Zombie Woof.
Andy- When I first saw this photo, I did indeed think of CSN&Y. It had that vibe to it. I will say though that I have seen Mr. Mystery Blogger in his current state and if he is related to Crosby, he got the good genes.
Thunder- here's hoping his new job includes travel so our lust for duvet pron can be satisfied!
Posted by: Jennifer | January 28, 2010 at 07:24 AM
I think that guy played lead guitar for Stillwater.
Happy Birthday, Mystery Blogger. May all your hotel rooms pass a blacklight test!
Posted by: Brando | January 28, 2010 at 08:28 AM
I need a corduroy jacket.
Posted by: fish | January 28, 2010 at 08:32 AM
I am also thinking this guy in a hotel room results in more than duvet pron.
Posted by: fish | January 28, 2010 at 08:33 AM
Brando- I was thinking Aztec Two-Step. The album with them both standing in doorways.
fish- you need a coduroy jacket. And... you need to clean your mind!

He's Harry.
But then, aren't we all?
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | January 28, 2010 at 10:01 AM
He looks like he probably ended up with David Crosby's liver as well.
Posted by: Snag | January 28, 2010 at 11:19 AM
as long as he leaves me Crosby's branes.
ZOM NOM NOM NOM.

he looks like an architect that wants to eat my brain.

also, DON'T SWALLOW THE YELLOW PILLS!!!! OMG#@&$&*#$(
Posted by: Kathleen | January 28, 2010 at 11:50 AM
K- he won't eat your brain, but he would guzzle your bourbon and steal your duvet. He would also steal all of your bacon.
And, as for the yellow pills... I finished last night. No! Not the pills... the book. Let me know when you're finished.
Posted by: Jennifer | January 28, 2010 at 11:57 AM
And, I should have said "cancer sticks", but my darn brain has been permanently damaged by too much Zardozing with a zombie.
Posted by: Jennifer | January 28, 2010 at 11:58 AM
I was wondering about that....
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | January 28, 2010 at 12:18 PM
I can't rock a pornstache like that, Kathleen.

LOL!!
Grizzled can. :) Actually, when I first saw Mystery Blogger's photo... it reminded me of this very picture of Grizzled. I think Mystery Blogger is pornier however...
Posted by: Jennifer | January 28, 2010 at 12:23 PM

Wondering about my brain or cancer sticks??
I shouldn't be doing any blogging/commenting. I'm udner the weather and feeling slightly hallucinogenic. I wrote this post while feeling even more so... If anyone asked me for the secret egg salad recipe, I'd pony up...
Posted by: Jennifer | January 28, 2010 at 12:27 PM
All of this mystery talk has me thinking of this... except my brain is singing, "Open the door for your mystery blogger!"
I like the later commercial where the girl says, "I gotta dud!"
Posted by: Jennifer | January 28, 2010 at 12:29 PM
Ok, this one does mention teh Dud... it was better with the girl saying it.
I'm going to go lie back down now before I Zardoz my own blog.

I'm GUESSING the photo is Herr Dr. Bimler, based on, well, guesswork.
(Is there a prize if someone gets it right?)
Posted by: Andy | January 28, 2010 at 02:28 PM
Nah, that is clearly a commercial cigarette. Bimler smokes dried leeches, apparently.

I'd pay good money to see a photo of hdb! No, it's not him. You're at a disadvantage Andy... the blogger, although a regular around these parts, has not been here much at all in the past few months. He's been busy with real life. Pfffft.
Von- you should know. If the bourbon/moose/meat/crazy kids/duvets didn't give it away, think illustrated alphabet. :)

I know who the Mystery Blogger is! Neener-neener-neener! (Directed @ Vonny) Happy Birthday, Big Bad Dad!
What is it with me and the 70s? Most people are glad that scene is behind us, man, but I love it. I love the button down shirt with the corduroy jacket. The hair. I even love the charcoal stick (!). And his expression is perfect. So mellow.
Love Grizzled's photo, too.
Also, LOL @ Brando: I think that guy played lead guitar for Stillwater. Indeed.
Posted by: blue girl | January 28, 2010 at 04:19 PM
And his expression is perfect. So mellow.
He hadn't had kids yet so hadn't developed that throbbing vein in his forehead, or that clenched jaw...
BG- I'm with you on the 70's. A bad time in some ways, but much more laid back and go with the flow. Not everything had to be so sophisticated. And on that note, I think I'll macrame my next post!
Posted by: Jennifer | January 28, 2010 at 04:24 PM
Sn*g deserves a Birthday Zardoz.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | January 28, 2010 at 04:28 PM
One thing I'm glad that was left behind: The Rainbow Wedding. Ever see one? The groomsmen had on lime green, yellow, salmon and lavender tuxes (big 'ole ruffly shirts and bell bottoms -- and the bridesmaids had on matching dresses?
So awesome. lololintoinfinity!
The Skimmer's twin brother had one. I'd burn the photos if I were them!
Posted by: blue girl | January 28, 2010 at 04:34 PM
Sn*g is not fond of teh Zardoz. He'd probably prefer 100 shots of bourbon.
BG- Yes, that was a good thing that went away. I had 3 siblings who got married in the 70's... but thankfully, there was nary a rainbow tux. The closest was a tan one... but it wasn't as bad as the baby blue.
Posted by: Jennifer | January 28, 2010 at 04:37 PM
Oh dear lord!! I just realized what you said! ALL OF THOSE COLORS IN ONE WEDDING!? AHHHHHHHHH!!! I've never seen one! I'm probably still living because of it!
Posted by: Jennifer | January 28, 2010 at 04:38 PM
wedding, bloody wedding.
Birthday, Bloody Birthday.

Was just thinking of you ZRM... for some reason it's a BoDeans morning. Was going to post a YouTube, but most of them were of poor quality... from Summerfest or some such thing...

No nefarious intent behind the curiosity... it was merely curiosity. I tend to get definite images of people when I read their comments/posts and I'm always curious if they look like the image I have in my mind. Sometimes they are eerily on the mark... other times, nowhere near it.
hdb has always appeared in my mind looking somewhat like this.

"In 35 years, man, you are going to have a blog."
And then wondering what he'd think of that. What would he think a "blog" would be?
