Is supposedly A-list actor/pseudonymous blogger Rance actually Ben Affleck? A reader tips us to an intriguing clue: In a recent entry on Rance's blog, he offers a puzzle to which the answer is "OV. Unscrambled, that's VO, as in Seagram's singular whiskey." The reader remembers seeing a story about Affleck's tattoos, and was led to this page, where Ben is sporting an "OV" tattoo (thumbnailed at left, click the image for the full picture or follow the link to the third image). Just like the "OV Unscrambled" in Rance's post. And, you know, Ben used to do a bit of the drinky drinky.

Ben, if you are indeed Rance, what are you doing? Sure, being a blogger-in-hiding will get you laid constantly (trust us), but so will being a big movie star. Now all you have to do is get back to being a big movie star. Imagine all the action available to that kind of double threat!

UPDATE: Another mention of the mysterious "OV" tattoo.
