Let's Think Outside the Box

Or not. This morning as the cock crows and causes the sun to rise it came to me. Our intrepid pioneer in the field of creative accounting not only speaks in sound bites but actually thinks in cliches. If we are going to send a message that doesn't get distilled in his thought processes to "haters" we have to communicate at his level. Thus your task is to suggest an appropos cliche. Second person to post "dumber than a box of hammers" is a copy cat. I'll start with a comment that I first saw on patrick.net:
"He showed up with a box of money and a bucket of stupid."

this space, like the space between Casey's ears, was left intentionally blank.

He may lose money on each sweet deal but he makes it up in volume.

I can't really think of anything other than "Casey's about as sharp as a bowling ball."

But does anyone know what happened to the Casey photos on zewg? They're gone now. I miss the switchspork one.

During the 'list of five' period, I posted a list of my own, which went something like this:

Here is some advice Casey:

1. Bwah bwaah bwaaaah
2. Bwahbwah bwaaah bwah
3. Bwa bwahbwah bwah bawh
4. Bwah bwah bwaah bwah
5. Bwah bwah bwaaaah

That's the advice I offer, 'cause that's all Casey is likely to see when he reads it.


And he moderated it.

Hey Stephanie - bwahahaha is now a dirty word in CS speak. Lord knows, I have said it enough to him and yes, he always moderated me. In fact, I think one out of five of my comments would make it thru. That's why I love this blog - instant gratification.

How about a trillion splinters short of a stud?

When you "assume," you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me."

(That works for "I assume that I won't have to pay this 50K note," or "I want to get someone to assume that mortgage."

"Slimy as spit and dumber than s***"

I was aiming for Charlie Brown's parents--not mocking laughter... but I realized that it is probably what he saw when he moderated it. It kind of makes it even funnier.

Hot off the presses -

Casey and his attorney are going to superior court - he is rumored to be the father of Anna Nicole's baby!

Turns out Casey, on his travels last year - when he told Galina he was buying property - was hanging with Anna...

That's where all the "cash back at closing" money went! Pretty shinny things for Anna....

Here's the untold story:

In late 2005, Anna was looking for assistance with her website/blog... some Russian friends introduced her to Casey. Casey and Anna talk - Casey shared his "dream" of making it in real estate and she encouraged Casey to aim high, reach for the brass ring, and go for it.

So, on the advice of Anna, Casey starts buying property and quits his job. While buying all these properties, Casey's taking cash back at closing, using his credit cards, getting cash advances, etc., to keep Anna under the impression he's making it big time and way more successful than the photographer she was dating.

Then... the next sweet deal doesn't happen... Anna and Howard take off and Casey's left with nothing but a huge debt and G's wicked demands....

Look back - Casey's blog started right after the little baby is born and Howard announces he's the father....

At the same time.... look at Anna's "ownership" of her new island estate - she didn't make any mortgage payments either.

Connect the dots....

Really.

And there came Casey and Galina with a box of someone else's money and a bucket of their own stupid.

"A couple of cans short of a six pack" is the Canadian version of that particular phrase.

A few other Canadian specific anecdotes:

"A few players short of a hockey team"

"A few flakes short of a drift"

Some additional ones might be:

"Exceeded clown quota for the circus"

"About as useful as a shit flavored lollipop"

"Makes Forrest Gump look like Sir Isaac Newton"

Casey Serinisms (with apologies to Homer)...

Trying is the first step towards failure.

No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better at it than you.

Galina, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.

Lord help me, I'm just not that bright.

Jamba Juice. Now there's a temporary solution.

Galina, there's an empty spot I've always had inside me. I tried to fill it with gurus, sweet deals, wheat shots, but those were dead ends! I think this blue ball is the answer.

D'oh!!!

Okay, I'll play:

"Real Estate Investing involves opportunities that others can't see – like stepping between the boat and the dock."

"If Casey's a hammer, why do all his properties look like bent nails?"

And a bit cruder:
"Casey couldn't find his asshole if all his fingers were flashlights."
