Of course it's only appropriate that his first post back is in a thread that will probably be deleted ;-)
And thanks Matt for letting out on the leash a little. One can only imagine the backroom negotiating that was involved in this one. posted by furtive at 8:05 PM on October 19, 2005
Shh. Now they'll all want back in.
(and it isn't capitalized!) posted by yhbc at 8:07 PM on October 19, 2005
In case that wasn't obtuse enough, if I were Matt or quonsar, I don't think I'd want a thread like this. posted by yhbc at 8:09 PM on October 19, 2005
See, perfect example. Crash left in a huff a while ago, and there weren't any "Hey, crash! Welcome back!!!" threads when he came crawling back on his belly.

HA! This is perfect. The main link here doesn't go to quonsar's comment, because it's been capriciously deleted from the deleted thread. posted by soyjoy at 8:43 PM on October 19, 2005
heh. It wasn't very helpful of a comment, so I axed it. That's 204 you punk!

Usually, I'm not a fan of the Metafilter taglines people toss out, but MetaFilter: I'm far enough away to not get hit is very appropriate and made me laugh. Nice one loquacious. posted by marxchivist at 9:12 PM on October 19, 2005
That might be the first "gotcha bitch!" I've seen Matt post... posted by hototogisu at 9:39 PM on October 19, 2005
Is that 204 count legit? I'd have figured it would be either somewhat less, or a lot more. But then, I'm sure #205 is just around the corner! posted by jenovus at 10:01 PM on October 19, 2005

quonsar's return changed everything!!! posted by davy at 7:24 AM on October 20, 2005
jessamyn, you are correct. I forgot all about that - I noticed him, too, but I want it noted for the record that I knew the thread was going to be deleted when I said, essentially, "Hey, crash! Welcome back!!!"

Welcome back both. I believe Miguel Cardoso left shortly after I came aboard. I remember the great wailing, gnashing of teeth, and rending of garments when he left. I hope you stick around. posted by marxchivist at 8:17 AM on October 20, 2005

He's a snarkmeister from planet Meepzorp, with a doublestacked mood-stabilizer habit and a fanbase to-die-for ; he's a Euro-wordsmith with a penchant for caipirinha and an ample supply of phallic combustibles.

Holy crap, it's Migs! (a new series, this Fall on Fox)
(Is this the right time to ask if you were mostly using your community website experience as fodder for a new book, Miguel? And to petulantly demand at the very least an English translation of that book to be released, if so? Regardless, I hope you drop in some more, now and then. As you can tell, you've been missed by many.) posted by stavrosthewonderchicken at 5:05 PM on October 20, 2005

Oh. Oh. Of. I could have sworn you said for. I figured you were fixing to feed us - all of us. I thought to myself "How perfectly nice!" and my brain started licking its lips.
Yeah, my brain has lips. And a tongue to lick them with. I can only assume it also has teeth but I really can't see that far up in there, and I really wouldn't want to get that close to the eating-hole, anyway. Not after I saw what it did to that cow.
