MagnetO's explanation on solving the puzzle:

That dang anagram on Brad Rifkin's body. Did you catch the small scar on his right abdomen? Appendicitis?

Question for the Guardian:
How many freckles does Brad Rifkin have?
Answer:
Too many to count!

So I confered with a few other members about the letters. We were wrong with one letter. There appear to be 2 'C's on the upper left torso of Brad. I think that this is where the Calling Card symbol came in. One of those 'C's should match the orientation of the CC turning it into a 'U'.

The list of letters on Brad should be:
chest - OYESNLHOOVOINNOEPCUENDSLFTE
left arm - NTEHEEN
left leg - MO ETOFT

Assuming that this was the next line or two of theHost's signature, numbers were first examined. A guess of 'Only seven left' for the last line was confirmed by theHost.

I have to tell you that figuring out this anagram with the 'C' instead of the 'U' was a pain. The best I could come up with for the second line was 'One chomped hot incense too often'. Even with the 'U' in place I seemed to be missing a letter. My submission was 'One opened his mouth once to soon'.

It was a 'leap of faith'. I suggessted that Brad's belly button be the missing 'O'. Apparently, that was the correct solution.
