Where has our resident cult author gone?
Well, nobody's really sure. So, in lieu of actual knowledge, here's my Top Ten Possible Places Miguel has Run Off To.
10. Came out of closet, moved to Berkeley, is now operating a bed-and-breakfast with his partner Arturo.
9. Lost in the notoriously winding back alleys of Lisbon, living off stolen wine and discarded goat cheese.
8. Three words: Siberian Summer Vacation.
7. Attempting to become first cult author to circumnavigate the globe in a Trabant.
6. Sleeping it off in an opium den in Malaysia.
5. Faked his own death in order to drive up the price of second-edition printing of Lorelei.
4. Lying low for a while, just in case that whole terrorism thing is still going on.
3. Joined Special Forces, is now in desert of Qatar preparing to invade Iraq.
2. Heard of death of Oolong, has flown to Japan to comfort his owner.
and the number one Possible Place Miguel has Run Off To:
1. Shaved head, gave up chasing women, smoking, and liquor, and moved to Tibet to become a monk.

Posted by: Cyrano at January 13, 2003 01:15 AMIt is certainly not the mac!
My thinking is;it is the mac, as in, he is learning how to use. Or enjoying it so that it is taking up his extra time. But not ever using one, maybe I'm wrong...
That's the thing Thom. You don't need to learn how to use the mac. I think he is just lurking, getting an ego boost from all this chit-chat here and in #mefi about where he is.

Posted by: jpoulos at January 13, 2003 11:27 AMThe computer in this here internet cafe is blocking access to Miguel's site because it contains the term "abused drugs". Is he perhaps drifting in a haze of absinthe and opiates?

Wherever that brave little Portuguese man is, he'd..he'd want us to go on. To continue to be overly verbose, to make needlessly chatty posts on MeFi, to easily sidestep and perhaps even totally misunderstand our detractors.
Whenever I see someone fill up an entire page with a comment about racy black and white photographs or the subtleties of single-malt Scotch, then I know Miguel hasn't really left us.

Bachelorette Party Practical Jokes:
6) Early Wake Up Calls- Nobody likes early morning wake up calls after a night of partying, which is why this is perfect [joke] for the girls staying in other hotel rooms. Just make sure they don’t know it is you!
7) Make ‘Em Change Colors While Sleeping- The great thing about Cool-Aid [sic] is when you place it in its powder form on a drunk girl’s bed before she is about to pass out, she will wake up either red (cherry flavor) or purple (grape flavor) since the powder soaks into the pours [sic] and temporarily colors the skin for the morning
11) Suds for All- Nothing is like a toilet bubble bath. Place a generous amount of detergent in the back of the toilet (tub). After a few flushes, you are surly [sic] to witness something out of the Brady Bunch when Bobby placed too much suds in the washing machine. You can purchase our Bubble Bath, which works out well for this occasion!
One more:
3) Hire A Female Stripper- For Bachelorettes who are not gay, a female stripper is a good way to embarrass the Bachelorette and cause great laughter.
"For Bachelorettes who are not gay, a female stripper is a good way to embarrass the Bachelorette and cause great laughter."
Or better yet, it may cause some hot girl-on-girl action.

Jim, bring me the elephant gun.
It's a good lifestyle, tizzie, if you're actually looking to be hunted down and shot.
Many human males I know would often like nothing better.

9622.net: It is the slogan of a small farm in web, constructed for an American trintão, without fixed work, that lodged the site in a computer offered for the father and it bound it to the InterNet for a line supplied for one its friend. To the departure, it can seem that if it deals with a site drug, but has had a certain success enters some elite of the Net. One is about a space where any person can place one link that she finds interesting, informative, polémico, etc., joining to it a small description, and from initiating an open quarrel to all there the users. The site is fed entirely by the proper community, with its suggestions of addresses and, as it could not leave of being, the Portuguese presence also note. Among others, the texts of the writer are distinguished Miguel Esteves Cardoso, a interventivo user, with its links and commentaries. It is now to the reach of the fans to change some lines of text and to appreciate the writing of the MEC - informally and with the quality of the custom - in the site 9622.

Looks like you have a highly educated stalker, jon.
Or it's actually Jan Wenner mistyping his name and he courting you for a job.
We didn't get penetration even with the elephant gun!
Truly, one of my favorite Reba McEntire quotes ever. Actually, that's probably the only quote I know.
Posted by: witchstone at January 14, 2003 10:00 AMjon, judging by this it's probably a girl (based on "her" reference to "misogynist punks" and "stupid indie boys"). It looks like her MeFi number is 15802, although there's no google cache for her member page.

(Bass? Geddit? Bass? Is this thing on?)
A bit more sleuthing has revealed that Jannon is, in fact, a 21-year-old shemale who goes by the name of Jannon Sonia Stein. Unfortunately for jon, she claims to have "a sexy intelligent boyfriend" (is there any other kind?)
Her page is here, and personal info is here.
Posted by: pardon matlock at January 14, 2003 10:28 AMhmmm, that "shemale" thing looks bad. She's a "she" and a "female" (as far as i know). just thought i'd clear that up.

Now back to talking about what a stud I am...
Posted by: jonmc at January 14, 2003 10:37 AM"a sexy intelligent boyfriend" (is there any other kind?)
Well, yes, there's the "very handsome and have good taste in t-shirts and radio stations" kind.
Stud, heh.
Posted by: tizzie at January 14, 2003 10:45 AMReba McEntire has no upper lip.
Like, she's freakish.
Now that I have pointed this out to you, you will never look at a photo of her without noticing her disturbing deformity.
Posted by: jpoulos at January 14, 2003 11:16 AMAnd she's very enamored of photos of herself. My brother went to her concert (yes, I have brothers who like country music, and I myself went to a Dwight Yoakam concert, but that's a different thing entirely, I mean, it's Dwight for fuck's sake!) and apparently she had programs at the concert and they were all filled with pictures of her-but, I guess that's what some people want oh yeah, and she changed costumes about 18 times, which I thought was odd because who does she think she is, Madonna or something, but really it all fits in with the country diva sort of thing, in the long run, I would guess.
*gasps for breath*
Posted by: witchstone at January 14, 2003 11:26 AMShe's, like, the annoying-little-sister of country divas. She's Tootie to Shania's Blair.
Posted by: jpoulos at January 14, 2003 11:28 AMAlso, I just noticed, underneath those bangs her forehead is very very TALL.
Posted by: jpoulos at January 14, 2003 11:29 AMTrue. She's so vain, I'd bet she thinks this thread is about her.
It's a shame, too. Of all the Country Nouveau Shite that's come down the sludge pipe the last decade or so, I always thought of her as one of the talented ones. Bummer.
Also, she has tons of lip compared to some people I could mention.
(
)
But she's funny in Tremors!
She has the bangs to cover up her freakin' huge forehead. Whereas Luke Perry just wrinkles it to hide the fact that his forehead takes up half of his face.
Posted by: witchstone at January 14, 2003 11:33 AMfine, defend her!
Posted by: jpoulos at January 14, 2003 11:35 AMJannon was named after a neuroscientist. That brings back bad memories.
Posted by: anathema at January 14, 2003 11:44 AMWhere did you get the "shemale" thing, p-me?
Posted by: anathema at January 14, 2003 11:47 AMTrue, Reba was good in Tremors. But would you see another movie she was acting in? Even if it was a Kevin Bacon-starred movie? Really. It was a fluke. A cool fluke, but a fluke.
Posted by: Chico at January 14, 2003 11:48 AMperhaps even a cool hand fluke...
Posted by: jonmc at January 14, 2003 11:50 AMWhere did you get the "shemale" thing, p-me?
I think I was trying to be witty and creative, but (as usual), failed miserably. It wasn't until I re-read my post that I remembered "shemale" has its own, um, meaning, and that I had inadvertantly slandered this person I don't know. So I tried to quickly correct it. The correction may not have been clear enough, so let me try again: I believe Jannon to be a female. I do not believe her to have any male parts whatsoever, and didn't mean to imply otherwise.
Any further inquiries should be directed to my attorneys.
Posted by: pardon me at January 14, 2003 11:53 AMBut coming from a trannie such as yourself, who could think you were being insulting?
Posted by: witchstone at January 14, 2003 11:54 AMDoes "shemale" have some other meaning? Sorry for belaboring this, I'm just curious. And I don't know squat about Reba. Patty Griffin on the other hand.....and Wanda Jackson
Posted by: anathema at January 14, 2003 11:56 AMBut coming from a trannie such as yourself, who could think you were being insulting?
Yes, but my self-hate sometimes causes me to lash out at my fellow transgendered folk.
*wonders how witchstone discovered my deepest secret*
Posted by: pardon buffalo bill at January 14, 2003 11:59 AMDoes "shemale" have some other meaning?
I'm not sure -- probably not. What I was going for was a combination of "she" and "female," not "she" and "male." "She" sounds like "fe." Since this whole thing started with a gender identification question, I was just trying to emphasize the fact that she was female. But I made an unintentional goof.
I think I need some time off from the internet.
Posted by: pardon me at January 14, 2003 12:02 PMSorry to be so late to the conversation, but I second Astro Glide as the product of the millenium.
Posted by: adampsyche at January 14, 2003 12:03 PMIf only for the name. And their cool Website.
Posted by: adampsyche at January 14, 2003 12:04 PMA shemale usually means a transvestite or a transgendered person.
Posted by: witchstone at January 14, 2003 12:04 PMPost, dammit.
Posted by: witchstone at January 14, 2003 12:06 PMAnd jonmc, if you were worried about jannon coming across this page before, I wonder what she'll think when she reads the extensive discussion about whether she's a transvestite.
Posted by: pardon me at January 14, 2003 12:06 PMIt's OK. She's at Princeton. She'll write a thesis on Transgender Obsessed Online Dysphoria Syndrome or some such foolishness...
Posted by: jonmc at January 14, 2003 12:22 PMDo they still make Probe? I remember it being even more, um, viscous than Astro-Glide.

There should be if there isn't.

Posted by: anathema at January 14, 2003 12:54 PManathema, neither Probe nor Astroglide (the venerable granddaddy of lubes) can compare to Slippery Stuff, which is more versatile and multi-hole friendly.
(Now quit squirming.)

So viscosity is bad? I guess I don't actually know what viscosity is.

Posted by: jonmc at January 14, 2003 01:23 PM"So viscosity is bad? I guess I don't actually know what viscosity is."
That's amusing to me, 'cause I call my blog Total Viscosity Breakdown.
Viscosity is the measure of a liquid's thickness and resistance to flow. Higher viscosity = thicker and flows less. Remember the TV commercials for Mobil 1 oil where they'd try to pour motor oil out of a bottle that had been chilling in a block of ice for 24 hours, and it was really thick? That's viscosity in action.

Yes, I should clarify for kaf. I meant to note that my inclusion of that quote was an in-reference to 9622's anti-Eagles history. Heck, as another Jeff once said, "I hate the fucking Eagles."
Posted by: pardon me at January 14, 2003 03:31 PMSheesh, I go out for a rubber chicken lunch, and you guys scare bunnyfire away. But the dessert was good, so there's always a bright side.

Posted by: TMT at January 14, 2003 03:48 PMWe're not the only ones missing Miggsy:
Caixa de correio / Mailbox: mec

Your e-mail was rejected because the person's mailbox didn't
have enough free space left to receive it.
You can try resending it later.
Tente o re-envio mais tarde? I'm not sure, but I think Miguel's email just called me a tard!
Posted by: ColdChef at January 14, 2003 03:50 PMAs we have previously discussed, the Eagles are indeed dark servants of the underworld. Unless that is in any way cool. Then they're not.
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 14, 2003 03:51 PMI was having a discussion the other day about the Worst Band Ever.
I think I finally settled on The Mary Jane Girls.
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 14, 2003 03:59 PM"Tente o re-envio mais tarde? I'm not sure, but I think Miguel's email just called me a tard!"
Nah. Let's break it down:
"Tente o re-envio mais tarde"
Tente = tent, or anything having to do with camping.
o = OK.
re-envio = Jealous again.
mais = maize, or corn
tarde = tardy, or late.
So what we have is a message from Miguel, telling us he is "OK, eating corn and camping with the Black Crowes, and will be back later."
See how easy that was?

Posted by: tizzie at January 14, 2003 08:49 PMyou must find and bring back to us, one Miguel Esteves Cardoso
Good God, people! You lounge about thinking up clever words for c***s***ers (and no one said crapspewers, hell-o?) but I'm on an international manhunt?!? Well, OK, but only if I can squeeze it in between dinner and "24".
Fortunately, I've done a little Googling, and I've come up with some helpful info. Did you know that:
Miguel is a magnificent 4500+ sq ft private home (I would expect nothing less)
Miguel is very Good beer (and here I had him pictured him as more of a smooth cognac)
Miguel is determined to gain his respect the only way he knows how, through the gang (oh dear, he's gone street on us)
Miguel is perched on a plain in the central mountains of Mexico (could explain the lack of 'net access)
Miguel is about 300 yards past the last toll gate (Ha ha, that sounds like a bad "few cards short of a deck"-type insult - "Hoo boy, what's with that guy?" "Yeah, I'd say he's about 300 yards past the last toll gate!")
Miguel is superb in many aspects: full of aroma, splendid amber color and the charming looks (but of course)
Miguel is INDEED - ZORRO! (Maybe that's the problem? You've been summoning the wrong hero?)
Miguel is in the building! Lock up your daughters! ... (however...)
Miguel is about to get a huge surprise...A straight man is about to go gay! (Say!)
Miguel is the hottest babe in the world (oddly, this was from his own site)
But the most telling of all...Miguel is no longer with us
Still, it's long enough to prove we're sincere.
Come back, Miguel!

Posted by: anathema at January 16, 2003 11:48 AMIt is a little known fact that most of John Updike's later work was actually written by a condemned bag of Amazin' Fruit.

Posted by: jonmc at January 16, 2003 12:08 PMHenry Miller never wrote a single word, but left a bag of Gummi Coke Bottles next to his typer and went out whoring.

Posted by: jonmc at January 16, 2003 12:21 PMKerouac's "On the Road" was the product of a can of cling peaches in heavy syrup.
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 16, 2003 12:24 PMI also have it on good authority that Hemingway's entire ouevre was penned by a particularly prodigious box of Scooter Pies.
Posted by: jonmc at January 16, 2003 12:29 PMAnd Faulkner's Sound and the Fury has never been truly explained. Some have pointed to the author's fondness for honeysuckle as a clear indicator that a Bit-O-Honey was responsible.
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 16, 2003 12:33 PMDo they still have Bit-O-Honey?
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 16, 2003 12:34 PMI saw some at a newstand in a subway stop (I believe it was Astor Place) just yesterday, kaf.
Or you could just go here.
Posted by: jonmc at January 16, 2003 12:39 PMValentine's Day is just around the corner.... place your order today and avoid the holiday rush!
Nothing says "I love you" like a 36 Count Box of Bit o' Honey.
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 16, 2003 12:45 PMNothing says "I love you" like a 36 Count Box of Bit o' Honey.
Are 36 Bit o' Honeys the same as 4½ Byte o' Honeys?
Posted by: pardon me at January 16, 2003 12:54 PMI fucking *heart* Bit o' Honey!
I liked it better when it wasn't the new, improved, softer kind. I liked it when you could keep it around in your molars for a few weeks.
Anyway, favorite candy EVAR!
Posted by: brittney at January 16, 2003 01:04 PMHow bout the Marathon chocolate bar? Them was good.
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 16, 2003 01:09 PMAnd lo!
Your teeth will sing in a symphony of pain!
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 16, 2003 01:11 PMSadly, the Marathon is with us no more.
It was very popular when I was a kid (probably before your time, young lady).
It was a chain-link looking caramel chocolate bar. And it was very big, took forever to eat. Hence the name I guess.
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 16, 2003 01:23 PMI was a bit-o-honey man, in my day.
I miss Reggie bars.
Posted by: jpoulos at January 16, 2003 01:27 PMYou can still get the Marathon-like Curly-wurlies. Eating them every day as a kid toughened my teeth no end. They were the French Foreign Legion of oral hygiene.
Posted by: liam at January 16, 2003 01:34 PMIf I'm remembering correctly, a 100 Grand bar (f/k/a "$100,000 Bar") is similar in taste/consistency to a Marathon Bar, only it has "krispies."
Posted by: pardon me at January 16, 2003 01:38 PMYeah, remember that cowboy dude who hawked Marathons during Saturday morning cartoons? Marathon John, I think he was named?
*googles*
Oh, yeah. The old memory is still a'workin'.
Posted by: Crash at January 16, 2003 01:46 PMWas the Marathon the same price as the other bars despite it's long-lastingness? Because that was always the deciding factor for me when selecting the one candy bar Mom will allow. I always thought, "Whatchamacalit tastes better, but the Butterfinger is a stayer."
It is big and the weird peanut butter, yet-not-anything-like-peanut butter center goes the distance.
Posted by: brittney at January 16, 2003 01:48 PM...Which brings us the the phenomenon of the overwhelming amount of candy that sounds suspiciously like porn.
Mounds, Nutrageous, Red Hot Atomic Fire Balls, Everlasting Gobstopper.
And so on.
Posted by: Mars Crash at January 16, 2003 01:51 PMI was always a big fan of the Twin Bing myself, Mars.
Two-two-two cherries in one!
Posted by: Crash at January 16, 2003 02:01 PMAnd then of course, there was Freshen-Up aka "cum gum."
Posted by: jonmc at January 16, 2003 02:01 PMI don't think we had that flavor in my area, Jon.
Posted by: kafkaesque at January 16, 2003 02:03 PMAlmond Joy sounds like a stripper.
Charleston Chew was the long-lastingest, IIRC. It tasted, however, much like an ass.
Posted by: jpoulos at January 16, 2003 02:19 PMLupo! It's tasted like ass!
Sheesh. Norm MacDonald is spinning in his fuckin' grave.
Posted by: Crash at January 16, 2003 02:22 PMIt tasted, however, much like an ass
Yes, but whose ass, lupo? That's crucial.
Posted by: jonmc at January 16, 2003 02:23 PMI meant, of course, an ass:

Posted by: jpoulos at January 16, 2003 03:12 PMMy recent research while wasting time instead of working on my movie reviews has led to the following additions:
Slo-Poke, Sugar Daddy, JawBusters and, regrettably, Swedish Fish.
For a more alternative take, there is also Mike & Ike. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

(Sorry, lupo!)
Posted by: Mars Crash at January 16, 2003 03:18 PMI don't have any idea why, but my wife and all three of my kids call Swedish Fish "Sweaty Fish".
Posted by: Crash at January 16, 2003 03:24 PMWait. Norm MacDonald is dead?
Posted by: cowboy_sally at January 16, 2003 03:32 PMI don't have any idea why, but my wife and all three of my kids call Swedish Fish "Sweaty Fish".
Hmmmm. Sounds kind of like "Schweddy Balls".
Posted by: pardon me at January 16, 2003 03:40 PMI could really go for a slice of pecan pie and a cup of coffee in a warm, quiet, cheap diner. I'd sit there and read my Crawdaddy book.
Yes, I'm Mr. Exciting. But I am out-of-it and proud-of-it.
Posted by: jonmc at January 16, 2003 03:42 PMseriously, dude, what are you talking about?
Posted by: jpoulos at January 16, 2003 03:50 PMPie.
Posted by: jonmc at January 16, 2003 03:55 PMahh.
Posted by: jpoulos at January 16, 2003 04:15 PMPie does not come in "slices." Pizza is distributed in slices. Pie comes in "pieces." "Piece" is the diminutive of "Pie." I'm sure of it. Or at least I think so. I'm sure I think so.
Posted by: MarsCrash at January 16, 2003 04:22 PMBut what about those people who say, "Wanna get a pizza-pie?" It is a mystery wrapped in a tortilla, with an enigma, or something.
Posted by: readymade at January 16, 2003 04:40 PMOr a conundrum. It might be that.
Posted by: readymade at January 16, 2003 04:42 PMA riddle, wrapped in an enigma, drizzled lightly in bullshit.
Tip o'the hat to my man Jon Stewart for that fine line.
Posted by: Crash at January 16, 2003 04:55 PMHe's a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a vest.
Posted by: Lisa Simpson at January 16, 2003 05:00 PM*sings*
See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,
Than authentic Irish setter.
What would we do without the wit and wisdom of the Simpsons?

I'm betting he'll swallow one of our souls ("Evil Dead"-style), possess our body, and use it to do the Ketchup Dance with our S.O.
Y'know, the usual.
Posted by: jpoulos at January 16, 2003 05:29 PMAny predictions on how Miguel will perform his re-entry?
Gentle at first until we beg for more and then forceful to the point of pain.
You know, I bet the Portuguese have a name for fucking like that.
Posted by: ColdChef at January 16, 2003 10:43 PMYou know, if I wuz sober, I'd never post something like this: The Masturbating Cat
Ten bucks to the first person who posts it on MetaFilter.
Posted by: ColdChef at January 16, 2003 11:11 PMI'm stunned that the remnants of that are now on my hard drive. I feel so ...
Is it bestiality if it's just the animal?
Posted by: yhbc at January 16, 2003 11:14 PMI have obviously got to stop checking 9622 just before bed.

Posted by: readymade at January 16, 2003 11:34 PMIt's a belated warning, but that CAT link might not be safe for mental stability. It might only be safe for cats (even though I dare not show it to my own--they might get ideas).

Witchstone's Diary:
Day 238
No. of times refreshed 9622: 32 (v. good)
Time spent staring blankly at screen: 3 hours (not bad considering devastation that is life)
Cultish author M. is back and of course everyone has rolled out the red carpet. Consumed entire muffin tray to console self. Feel that boys are becoming v. pervy about M. Missed him a bit too much, if you know what I mean. Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more. Expect M.'s third wife may become crazed with jealousy and cut internet connection.

Posted by: Mars Crash at January 24, 2003 05:11 PMI used to know a Cop Feel Copper, but she's in prison now.
Posted by: Crash at January 24, 2003 07:09 PMJust don't try to hit the cop after you feel him. Then you'd be a cop socker, and no one wants that.
Posted by: yhbc at January 24, 2003 07:12 PMWell, some do, but that's not the really the point of the joke. Besides, if you truly eliminate all elements of political incorrectness and go for 100% inclusion, you've pretty much thrown out the humor with the bathwater.
Sorry. Carry on.
