Do you look in the mirror often Miguel? No? Have a thing for staying up all night? Burn easily? Tendency to be an immortal undead generation-tranceding wampir?

That link is pretty clearly a browser-crasher. Twice.
I'm not understanding much of the rest.

And yet another example of the utter implausibility of getting through another metaday without the inimitable Miguel Cardoso.

How eloquent you are, The Jesse Helms! Loved the punctuation too. Perhaps someday you'll consider opening a Finishing School of Witty Repartee?

Miguel, should we use a crane shot for the golem?
I could do the role of Natan Noah.

Uncanny.
hama7 - Just so you're up to speed. The article indicates (and rather convincingly I might add) that Miguel is 370 years old. Either that or user "MiguelCardoso" has been playing a rather elaborate practical joke on us for quite some time.

A crane shot? I think we need another avian - the leghorn shot.
Brought on by Leghorn, with apologies to Foghorn Leghorn.
"Leghorns
The original breed came from Italy, but its many subvarieties originated or were developed in England, Denmark and America. They comprise a group characterized by great activity, hardiness and prolific egg-laying qualities. The females are non-sitters, very few of them exhibiting a tendency to broodiness. Aside from the manifold points of beauty in type and color found in all varieties of Leghorns their excellent productive qualities are valuable assets of the breed.
Especially noted for their production of eggs. The skin color is yellow and the egg shells are white."

This any better hama7?
Thrice. My poor browser is whimpering at my heels as we speak. I will not click it in a box, I will not click it with a fox.
But this little hot tamale came to me in a Google-eyed surreality.
Miguel is 370 years old.
Thank you! I'd say he barely looks a day over 14. Must be all that fresh air, cocktails and delicious chili con carne!

Indeed. I think it goes without saying that, here in MetaFilter, we like repartee.

Hama7: a hot little tamale, indeed! But if you want the whole enchilada, nothing I've ever seen beats this little document for sheer vindictiveness, ire and downright obsessive hatred. Even your wildest detractor could learn a trick or two from this master of vituperation. [Probably NSFW, via Bifurcated Rivets.]

Wow, I think we have a winner! Even as I laughed through the cramps and tears, what made it more hilarious was that some actually devoted an awful lot of time to that sizzling zinger!
Many thanks.

Miguel Cardoso "studied medicine together with his brother Fernando Isaac, and while the latter was given to his studies, Michael spent his time in singing serenades under ladies' balconies."

Oh taz! It was time well spent, as you well know - those moonfired nights; the intoxicating scent of jasmim and wind-whipped bed linen in the air; the Morrissey prototype songs, ruined by my battered old mandolin...the gnats...
The article, of course, omits that, thanks to lack of pantyhose in those days - and given my privileged position on the street below those heady balconies - I later became a much loved gynecologist to the stars. :)

I feel like I'm watching the very last scene of the Usual Suspects (spoiler warning ... don't ready any more if you've not seen the film).
Migs is Kaiser Soze. He's been playing us the whole time?! He's really not Portuguese, not named Miguel, not Jewish, not a writer, not a lover of chile. Notice his continual and contrived redirection in this very thread!
"And poof, he was gone."

Later Cardoso, no longer satisfied with being only a prophet, gave himself out as "Messiah ben Ephraim," asserting that the Messiah is he who teaches the true conception of God.
There you have it, folks. Miguel, stop firing and assume your messianic mantle.
