Who is Eddie Dingle?

That seems to be the most lingering question to most forumers on ween's official forum. Is he a real person from Wisconsin like he contends he is? Is he a character made up by a certain forumer with a sick sense of humor? Is he a band member? Not much is known about him other than the fact everyone agrees he's a sick person.
He's been known to post pictures of his ass, choad, and nuts for all to see. He's posted pictures of his poop floating in the toilet (one time in particular, he put a sail on one to make it a poopship). He's torn into tweakers with such veracity and venom, the result was meltdowns by the victim which have led to their banning.
One thing is for sure, he's a permament part of forum folklore and mythos, and I'm happy to see him there. If he were not, the forum would be a boring place to post.
I do know who he is though, and all I can say is....
...heh.
