Metafilter's own MiguelCardoso, in his daily column in Portugal's Publico newspaper on the 26th, mentioned pjern and the blue, using the post about the BMJ article on James Bond as his launching point: Proteja o Figado [Portuguese original] -- Google translated version.

I miss Miguel so stinking much.

Wish he still posted here.

The three doctors and authors decided cleavage between good Puritan sense and creative debauchery

For those who are curious, "bridged the gap" is probably what Google Translate meant instead of "decided cleavage" for "resolveram a clivagem."

It's nice to know Miguel is still visiting. Come back!

A cleveage divided against itself cannot stand.

I think Decided Cleavage may be the title of the new Bond film.

It seems that the Migs Signal is either broken, or needs to be reconfigured.

Oh, I guess he's not "metafilter's own" then. I mean Friendster won't go around claiming people who don't bother typing in the few letters into their browser and logging in...

Miguel logs in, he reads, he even posts now and then.

He's just not around like he used to be around.

Dunno. Judging from the amount of spam I get from LinkedIn, they think I'm "theirs" and I don't even have an account!

And this is why MetaFilter is not Friendster. While I think a lot of us draw the line someplace north of Woz, Miguel was a very frequent commenter here and is still seen around. We claim him. He is ours and we are his.

I can't begin to tell you what seeing your name linked on the grey does to your heartrate when you're an old man.

But Migs, how do you smoke that cigar with your ear?

The trick is to recognize the good old days as they are happening.

Does anyone still have that picture of him where it looked like he was smoking his cigar with his ear? That's something like a 10 year old vague memory. Weird.

Oof vacapinta's link was a kick in the face. I had missed that news. Miguel I am sorry you both had to go through that and hope everyone came through okay.

This makes me feel warm and fuzzy and slightly tipsy.
