Poooooolathon! So much better than a beg-a-thon. Casey, you promise to stay in that pool as-is (you remember that term?) until you raise enough money to buy a do-over with cashcall. Maybe even a little acapella number with the mosquito larvae as backup singers. Get Nigel (oh, excuse that), get "me" to put on one of those fake shark fins. As a finale you can get Nigel, errr me to swin around in the middle of the pool while you fly over in your sweet Jetta.

Damn I was close.
Can someone drown him for an extra three bucks?

My bad on the previous post.
The number for the MODESTO mosquito abatement district is below.
Modesto - Stanislaus East Side Mosquito Abatement District -
209-522-4098
I am appalled at the insensitivity of the haters posting here. It is unthinkable to force Casey to spend an evening immersed in a pool of mosquito larvae in order to raise a few dollars. You heartless ^%$#@'s! Have you no compassion for the larvae?
NR
I think someone should swing by and throw about sixty coleman lamp-mantles in the water. That should offer enough radioactivity to create one, giant, mutant mosquito.
We can call him Larry.
@Steph: good one! :)
I are smarter than before I readed this blog. No idea the "good" mantles were radioactive. Cool, can you still get them?
I will glady pay to see Casey jump in that pool and wallow around for a few minutes.
Okay, I am usually an astute admirer of Stephanie J's witty humor & fine beauty, but I don't get the Larry reference...
What's that mean Stephanie?
Did yesterday's "lots of good things are brewing" comment refer to the Modesto pool's spontaneous-generation experiment?
Casey's been promising "great things are coming" pretty much weekly for months now. I wonder if he's even managing to convince himself any more...
(Great observation by Steph here, BTW.)
There's no particular reference. I just think larry is a good name for a massive mutant mosquito. ::shrug::
Yes, the mantles are still radioactive. We use them to calibrate our geiger counters.
I told him to get Galina into the pool wearing a wicked weasel.
...what the heck are you all talking about? I go off and rot my brain with a couple or three days of nonstop MSM TV coverage of what happened down in Blacksburg VA (3 hours down the road from me) and I come back totally confused. Oh and that TV watching has also given me a killer headache.
On a pleasant note, no one from my county was killed or injured in the massacre at VA Tech (most popular college for kids from my area to attend). But that's not saying all that much.
I don't get the mosquito massacre references...but I got a lot of reading to catch up on.
Ah - Larry was the name for the gigantor bug... that's what I missed.
Don't anyone feel bad. I thought Larry was something out of "Jimmy Neutron." You see Jimmy's friend Carl has this thing for llamas and... and...
Guys? Hey, where did everybody go and why are you all looking at me like that? What's that white jacket with looong sleeves and buckles for? No, nooooooo!
The sad thing is that I don't have any kids to use as a good excuse as to why I know about Jimmy Neutron and Carl. Just plain nerdiness I guess.
LOL @ Kevin.
Gigantor. I use that all the time. I even sing the old theme song and stomp around like a giant robot just to be a spazz.
How is this guy staying afloat? He has more lives than a freaking cat.
It's the life-preserver at the top of his blog. See?
Jimmy Neutron is great. There I said it and I'm not ashamed. Hubert "Hugh" Beaumont Neutron, Jimmy's dad has this thing for ducks and pie and gets really annoyed because Jimmy is always taking apart his toasters for experiments. Hugh Beaumont was the real name of Ward Cleaver of "leave it.." fame. There's lots of that kind of subtext woven through the series. One adventure to the moon had them passing a black obelisk 1x4x9 in dimension.
Anybody up for a chorus of "Captain Scarlett?" Careful or I'll get all Clutch Cargo cult on your buttocks.
Twenty-first! Neener neener neener!!!
I'm rich and I'll pay a whole bunch of $$$ to see my Nigeypoo jump into the pool in a speedo. That's Hot!
Who will pay to see me come up out of the pool in my red bikini?
Oh, Phoebe. Sorry to say those woobies that launched a thousand fantasies were all of 5 years old at the time. Now that they are 30 years a ripening we'd need an update before pricing the action.
Here: Those pert, secondary sexual characteristics of teenage Phoebe Cates, as—in one breathtaking gesture—she frees her frisky buds from their front-fastening red bikini top to quiver in the balletic perfection of Judge Reinhold's furtive spank dream.
Cecil Adams says that Coleman's recent lamp mantles are no longer radioactive (but other brands may be):
http://www.straightdope.com/columns/031205.html
Smoke detectors used to have some form of radioactive material in them. Not sure if they still do... Also, good old tritium watches and clocks. I have the "modern" equivalent on my watch, and it only glows in the dark for 30 seconds or so, and that's immediately after being in very bright sunlight. Sad thing is, the exposure from the old tritium watches was miniscule, but it's still been phased out. I've seen a couple of amateur-looking tritium watches and keychains on eBay, though.
Check out his green pool on Google Maps. Nasty!

We are indeed living in great times - Casey's neglect and laziness is now visible from space!
I wonder if Casey's neighbors can sue for having to living next to a putrid dump - maybe we should start e-mailing them.
Good things are coming = troll bait.
He says that to get us talking over here. When my friend started a small company he was the only employee. I'd speak with him about the company and he'd always say good deals are coming and always used the word WE. He was one guy but he made sure to emphasize that WE are doing some great things.
Casey is no different. My friend's company never took off because he was blind to any realistic business suggestions. Casey is not much different. The guys who say I or MY all the time, regardless of their egos, tend to be more successful apparently.
Haterz, he's just keeping the pool organic. Jeez Louize.
Is it just me, or is Casey extra-cranky after his nappytime today?
@ JJS
That is funny as hell. It looks like it's filled with antifreeze.
Off topic,
does any one besides me think there is something fishy about the $300K offer on the muncy house. The values on other houses in that area are declining yet someone is willing to pay this price for a house that needs work.
If his neighbors want to sue Casey they better expect any judgment to be paid in sweet bartered tech skills. Casey is one of the most judgment proof people on the planet right now.
I checked the Zillow comp on the Muncy house a couple of times and it went down to about 310-315 but has come back up to about 340. So maybe someone thinks 300 is a good price?
Haterz, he's just keeping the pool organic.
Yeah. And the Mosquito Abatement District are just SCREWING IT UP FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.
CASEY SMASH!
(Dunno about Sacramento, but the mosquito & vector control folks around here are big on eliminating any standing water -- birdbaths, old tires. Casey's fetid pool is a mozzie jackpot.)
Careful about zillow. After a recent dustup with a zillow insider my house has begun going back up while my immediate next door neighbor lost $150,000 last month alone.
With apologies to the Orkin/Zap'Em man that's gonna have to deal with the celebutard wannabe
INT. GARAGE [BARN] - DAY
The next morning. A door opens on a garage and an ORKIN [ZAP 'EM] MAN steps inside, carrying a tank of toxic gas. The morning light spills on an abundance of
spiders [cockroaches], crawling everywhere -- big ones, small ones, hundreds of them have moved in and taken over this dusty place.
The Orkin Man sighs and sets down his tank.
ORKIN MAN
Well, well, well. Movin' right in, are we?
Think we own the place?
He unfurls a hose from the side of the tank.
ORKIN MAN (CONT'D)
Got a little eviction notice for you, boys.
He raises a mask to his face and unscrews the handle on the top of the tank. LETHAL GAS starts to HISS from the end of the hose.
VOICE (O.S.)
Just what exactly do you think you're doing?
The Orkin Man turns around. EDGAR stands in the doorway to the garage, staring at him disdainfully.
ORKIN MAN
(shrugs)
Takin' care of your pest problem.
EDGAR
"Pest" problem? "Pest?"
ORKIN MAN
Yeah. You got a hell of an infestation.
Edgar advances on him, slowly.
EDGAR
You know, I have noticed an infestation
here. Everywhere I look, in fact. Nothing
but undeveloped, unevolved, barely conscious
pond scum. So convinced of their own
superiority as they scurry about their
short, pointless lives.
ORKIN MAN
Well -- yeah. Don't you want to get rid of
'em?
EDGAR
In the worst way.
Edgar lashes out quickly, jerking the mask off the Orkin Man's face with one hand --
-- and shoving the gas hose down his throat with the other.
THE ORKIN MAN'S CAR KEYS drop to the garage floor, and Edgar picks them up.
I'm guessing but is Zillow a bit prone to fluctuating the moment a similar property in the neighbourhood is recorded as sold?
You all wish you had some of Phoebe.
I have....and that's why she cries for me each night. The Dude is some dude.....
Men In Black 4tw!
Has anyone brought up the possibility of some extremely wealthy benefactor coming out and buying a night with Galina a la indecent proposal (re: 50K - 100K range) to see if snowflake would take the bait?
Has anyone brought up the possibility of some extremely wealthy benefactor coming out and buying a night with Galina a la indecent proposal (re: 50K - 100K range) to see if snowflake would take the bait?
Well yeah but seeing as I turned down the last offer to pay me $61,211.47 and Galina could only scrape up another $850.07 to sweeten the deal I don't know if there is enough money to get me to do this and still have a little something left over for Casey.
Check out the "before" pictures of the pool:
http://flickr.com/photos/sercasey/241820147
http://flickr.com/photos/sercasey/241819406
I especially like the quote under the second picture: "Don't you just want to dive in?".
The Google map really sums it up. If you look around the area you see several beautifully blue pools, and there's Casey's green, slimey, petri dish in the middle. A true monument to Casey's "I don't give a fuck about how much damage I cause" attitude. I guess it just doesn't cross his mind that he's affecting other people's lives for the worse.
If it's as bad as I think the people who live near that house should each file a civil suit against Casey. They should file the suits one at a time on consecutive weeks so icecream head has to get his lazy ass out of bed and drive 70 miles (I know people who commute longer than that) for a whole bunch of different court dates.
I guess all I have to do now is a first post and I'll really be a member of the haterz club.
at first i thought...no way about the google linke but it is indeed a 2007 map and the address is right. so sad you can see casey's fuckup from space!
plus the pool shapes are exact in both pictures. someone should send snowflake the links.
I noticed Bob Cratchit struck again with another cheerleader accrostic (#189.) No one caught my #67. I noticed there's not a single non-haterz comment on the new post. It sure is going to be lonely over there without us haterz.
"Freakin’ haters… I’m getting tired of you! I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna bother with you. My traffic will be just fine without you."
Rob can this be my tagline on our imaginary forum?
Hmmmm....perhaps we can call NASA and get a nightly update from the space station.
An Serin EnviroCatastrophe Report:
"Currently we are monitoring a growing green slime in CA. We may have to issue an evacuation order if conditions worsen. The damage could reach epic proportion...."
On the forums, should there not be a Dawg Collar thread for perp walks?
aaron,
Careful. This is zillow. They lie all the time. When they say copyright 2007 say mean something different from when the picture was taken. Yes, yes, I know they shouldn't do that, it is misleading but this is the Disney® Era® of copyrights® where the rules or even the law are second to who has the bigger lawyers. I look at my house and see 2007 and know I haven't owned that car for a while and there is a house on the empty lot two to the west.
California government takes the West Nile threat very seriously. I'll have to follow-up with the Modesto task force.
@JJS -- wow. good catch on the Google Maps photo. That's just nasty.
I read somewhere that foreclosures effect prices on neighboring homes negatively by I think 1-9%??? Can't remember the %, but I wonder how his neighbors feel about his foreclosed homes....
Oh crap - I just noticed what was in that pool....
Last time I heard, Modesto was located in the Central Valley. This where your FOOD is grown.
Read the link - people DIE each year.
West Nile
I'm not aware of unlawful death charges brought against any green-poolers, maybe a first...
Orig Kevin: It's somewhere around 3%. Further proof Nigel, the award winning mortgage blogger has no idea what he is talking about.
Casey's crimes have hurt many people. From the lying on loans to the foreclosures that hurt his neighbors.
I hate it when people argue with agendas instead of facts. Nigel is all about his agenda since everything he posts can be disputed as NOT factual.
Speaking of Nigel. Anyone notice how quickly things got back to abnormal once Jefe used sitemeter to show somebody from Orem, Utah was posting all that strange off topic stuff?
Hahah... man, look at Casey's dilemma in post #98... that'll keep him occupied for about a week...(the dilemma, that is)...
Casey's post includes this tidbit:
"Also I was told a section of the fence fell down on the backyard. My realtor is going to talk to the neighbor’s about that to see what they’re plans are, since it’s a community fence."
Community fence? Maybe, maybe not. My bet is it is the fence required because of his pool. Now the fucker has just left the pool open for any neighborhood kid to drown in.
I hope he rots in jail.
How about one of the Hater™ community who lives near the property buy a life-size dummy, dress it up in appropriate clothes, go to the house, and throw it face-down in the pool.
The look on Casey's face (or the Realtor's face) before he realizes it's a ruse, will be absolutely priceless... :-)
Does anyone actually live in Modesto? If so, let us know.
Ahhh, thankfully the Vicodin is finally kicking in.
Funny thing was I told him about a pool pump on sale for $29.99 at Harbor Freight and he censored the post.
Does anyone have anything left for this guy? Hop in the dubbs, $30 at Harbor freight, $20/gas, 2 hours pumping and he'd be back by now with hundreds of newfound luvrz(tm).
BTW, not that I would endorse such actions, but any aspiring murderers reading Casey's blog will now have a great site to dump the body or bodies. And guess who'll get the third-degree when the victim(s) turns up? SWEET DEAL!
OMG casey alluded to me in his comment about cleaning the pool! This makes my day! No, it makes my week!! I'm an official parenthetic aside on the blog o doom! :-D
KC apparently has housebreaking tools and mountain bike in the murse.
Typical fucking gypsy scumbag.
But...but Casey doesn't have 29.99 plus tax, hasn't paid rent in 3 months... wah wah wah!
By the way Muncy drive is about two miles from my house, throwing a dummy in the pool face down... hilarious. Throwing Casey in the pool even better!
I swear, I may have to gnaw my own fingers off trying to prevent my typing half the things I am thinking about this one. Does he think sucking on a dirty hose is beneath him? The pond scum claiming moral and evolutionary superiority. The pathological indescivness. The no money for $400 cleaning versus $40 is nothing versus $4500 corporate debt transfer. Now we got him knowingly allowing a hole in a fence to an unattended pool in a residential neighborhood. Glad I pay taxes.
What about that rent money?
Back when Casey phoned Cashcall he specifically said the money he made burning CDs was to go towards 2 months of past due rent. Now a few weeks later and he's 3 months late in rent.
What a fucking liar he is.
I *love* this:
I am kind of tempted to just go down there this Saturday and have a work day. You know. “Pull up the sleeves and get dirty” kind of work.
You know. REAL work.
"Kind of tempted": it's like "try" only weaker.
I just don’t have $400 of presonal cash I can commit to this. I STILL haven’t paid my sister-in-law rent and now its going on 3rd month. [...] (I had some urgent stuff come up, what can I say, I promised to get the money for her ASAP with late fees and maybe some interest to make it worth her while).
I'm sure she believed you, too. And I'm sure she was quite happy to see the rent spent on filing cabinets instead. They were urgent after all.
Rob,
What's this about Nigel, Jefe and posting? Where do I find these posts?
The credibility gaps are widening. We can expect another reality break real soon now. Perhaps the emergency was to get his tubes untied in hopes of saving his marriage.
Those Google map photo's made me laugh my ass off. This pool looks like an emerald its so dark green. Casey could fuck up a wet dream. Can you say LOOSER? Oh have you seen his latest "Any ideas?" What should I do?" Maybe the cock monkey should have thought of that a few months ageo. If I was his neighbor, I would be furious! Blue ball bouncing bastard!
Rob Dawg wrote: Does he think sucking on a dirty hose is beneath him?
No, he's sucked on a lot of Dirty Hoses™ before. And it's not beneath him -- on the contrary, after he's done sucking them, he's the one who ends up under them ;-)
Commence vomiting!
Anon, previous two threads. No big deal. Some anon, some wagga, some sprezz, others. Same old boring attempts at hurting people or disrupting the conversation. Stopped when it was pointed out that some were coming from a commercial account in Utah. Hey, Nigel has a bird dogging contract with that same company. Maybe he can help.
It just keeps getting better, uh, I mean worse...
Who will help me clean the pool this Saturday, if I decide to do it? (or at least come watch and take a picture for the blog)
There's no way he'll do anything about it; at best he may drive down there and do a half-assed job. And he wants one of his "fans" to volunteer to help. I'm almost tempted, just for the laughs, but I have real work to do. Maybe one day Casey will learn that if the deals with his responsibilities daily things won't get out of hand. Nah, never happen.
I have a theory that Casey the investing genuis is using his corporate shell credit scam to buy penny gold stocks, that is how he intends to make money. Corporations, at least C corps do not get favorable capital gains treatment. Stupid idea.
Casey does not give a rats ass about anyone, I wish his SIL would throw his azz out. No money, no money for rent, why should Casey waste $400 to clear the biohazard in his soon to be foreclosed property?
So what if some kid drowns, the neighbors get west nile virus? Paying 400 for this is just about as useful as paying cashcall.
Nah Casey just cannot be bothered.
HIS time is valuable, I really wish someone would beat the shit out of him.
This pool situation is too much. He must be trolling. I just don't get it. It isn't that difficult to deal with the situation himself and WTF else does he have to do (other than see his chiropractor and post more nonesense on IAFF)? Casey, if you're reading this do a cost benefit analysis. As explained to you in supposed "hater" comments, potential costs include yet are not limited to:
A. Mosquito abatement fines
B. Much larger fines (and law suits) if you happen to be cultivating West Nile Virus in the pool.
C. Liability (think $$$) if someone drowns in the pool.
D. Ad infinitum...
It is not all good, Casey. So far, you've been lucky, but don't count on it lasting.
Grow up and take some f-ing responsibility for your actions.
BTW, if you fancy yourself a performance artist and this is all a ruse, I commend you in your ability to piss people off.
End rant.
Screw you freakin haters! I don't need you or your traffic! I'm going to ban whole IP ranges and....uhm oh wait...
(sweetly)
Who will help me clean the pool this Saturday, if I decide to do it? (or at least come watch and take a picture for the blog)
I'll give you 50% off my $40 foreclosure counseling session and ten free instant comments.
This is priceless: Who will help me clean the pool this Saturday, if I decide to do it? (or at least come watch and take a picture for the blog)
It is difficult for me to stay angry with this moron. I almost choked on my delicate iced tea with fresh mint when I read this.
Steph J.,
It is time to put your boots on and take us on a kick-ass road trip to Casey-land.
He's not going to do anything. He's just going to go into pool ignore mode until either the short sale or the forclosure.
I wonder how much longer Yulia will put up with his deadbeat ways? if she values her relationship with her sister, she may let it slide a while longer, but that fact that she's pushing for payment suggests that sooner or later she will not let him continue as a nonpaying resident.
My 14 lb. Brown Tabbie just jumped up on the window sill & tossed his cookies. Much more appetizing than the CS shenanigins.
The mess is already cleaned up.
Unbelievable. He is 24 years old, appears to have functional arms and legs, so why the hell does he need help cleaning a small pool?
He must be trolling.
This is simply too f-ing much.
What's up with the Zewg dude buttplugging him like that? Is that search box really worth that much effort?
BTW is Klaw Hamner still around with a different name? I loved this series:
http://blogaboutablogaboutablogabout.blogspot.com/2007/04/casey-art-klaw-hamner.html
Also, I can't recall who posted the image of Casey with the Nigel rat...
Actually ignore my last comment. Now that I think about it, it's pretty damn smart to advertise a troll/jackass site on the site of the biggest trollee/dumbass on the planet.
I second whoever it was that suggested buying an ad making fun of Nigel on IAFF. That would be the cashbackz.
Who will help me clean the pool this Saturday, if I decide to do it?
I take it Galina's "help with the business" doesn't extend much beyond paper-shuffling and nail-filing?
Theory: the short sale is falling apart; the scum-pool is a handy peg for all concerned to hang the blame on. (I suspect the agent started backing away the moment Casey invited him to guest-post on IAFF.)
Casey!
Oh Casey!
The pool is full of sweet, green wheatshot! That's my big boy, you just take that hose over to the pool and empty it.
NR
Wow... Even with a drained pool, a kid could easily fall off the ledge and maim themselves. Not that liability is an issue, I'm sure the bank is paying for an insurance policy at this point, plus you can't squeeze blood from a turnip (KC has no assets)... I'd be more worried about criminal negligence charges.
Three months behind on rent? Pathetic. I hope Yulia gets a clue and kicks them out, although I've seen it take years for a family member or friend to come to terms with the fact that someone is using them.
I think Stephanie J. should volunteer to help out with the pool on Saturday. I imagine him standing at the edge of the cesspool, and her kicking him in the balls hard enough that he falls into the big green pond.
Hey Rob Daaaaaaaawg...I see the need for a new subject based on the following:
"Dolph said...
Good things are coming = troll bait.
He says that to get us talking over here. When my friend started a small company he was the only employee. I'd speak with him about the company and he'd always say good deals are coming and always used the word WE. He was one guy but he made sure to emphasize that WE are doing some great things.

I am curious how people address themselves to the public with their company.
For the most part I will save the details and majority of my comments for the new subject post.
But I will just say that I am a 1-man show and I present myself to the public as "WE" and "I" for several different situations.
CHJTS
The little putz censored me. That nekulturney durak! Well, yob t'voyu maht! I just pointed out that if it was an electric pump he was going to rent, he'd better take along a long extension cord unless he didn't have the electricity turned off at the property. And hope he finds a neighbor who'll let him plug it in. Okay, I also pointed out that after he drained the pool, he'd still need to clean it.
Perhaps I shouldn't have finished the post by saying "Relax! It's all good."?
On the other hand, imagine the nerve of those cash call clowns expecting Sunshine to live up to his side of the deal. I mean, not only did he have to come up with the money, he had to sign some paper and put it in the mail!
But on the other other hand, the gloves are fucking off now. Call me Mrs Slocumbe, because I am unanimous in that!
*cough* @Nadia: here.
CHJTS,
I've said we when referring to my consulting business, but I actually have partners that need to be advised. Every "one man show" I've ever met tends to be full of promises they can't keep.
If you are one of those guys who can get it done and be successful, I tip my hat to you CHJTS!
Today's topic: irony.
Idea man Casey Serin, November 7, 2006 on IAFF.
"So I am expecting some clear directions at this point. But there is none. Just more talking about ideas:
Idea about The Investor Lady flying over to Sacramento and helping me with my properties…. idea that I need to stay in Phoenix for a while and watch her do her thing… idea that I really should be learning in my own hometown of Sacramento…. idea that without her local connections The Investor Lady’s will not be able to help me very fast in Sacramento… idea that I need to go back to Sacramento and learn how to wholesale on my own… idea that I still need to spend time in Phoenix learning to estimate repairs by watching The Investor Lady… idea… idea… idea….
I feel like my questions are not being answered and I am getting frustrated. My mind begins to spin… too many ideas… too much brainstorming. “WHERE IS THE PLAN??? WHAT’S MY NEXT MOVE???”
Hey People!
can't we take this hate and vitriol over to DHC and IAFF? At least over there they can control the comments and, most pimportantly, they will get all this sweet, sweet traffik.
Come on people! Help out!
Just thinking out loud here.
Would the Modesto health department also be interested in the cesspool, or are the mosquito people a division of the health department?
Where does one report code violations, such as the hole in the fence?
Who are the lenders on the property--they might also be interested, as they are presumably paying for the liability insurance at this point (and the insurer may be able to deny a claim if it resulted from the hole in the fence)?
What does it take to get a property condemned or otherwise declared uninhabitable in Modesto?
What the hell did he do with all the money? He is now 3 months behind on rent YET he has money for Ikea and a trip??????????????
If he's taking money out of his "corporation" why not take the money and pay his sis-in-law? Since his "business" is done from that one room that would be legitimate, but the IRS can be tough on home offices.
Argh is this kid infuriating. Nigel and the other supporters wonder why we get all over him? This is a great example. The kid has no plan and is irresponsible with other people's money.
Re: My last post...
Serenity Now, Serenity Now. Repeat to myself: Casey is only trolling, Casey is only trolling.
What other supporters? It's just Nigel now, and he's even gone kinda haterz. The surge in new supporterz was just haterz trolling Casey.
I was checking IAFF's sitemeter and was kind of fascinated by what I found out. I never realized sitemeter gathered that much data from people, especially if someone uses a search engine and links from their search engine results. I clicked quite a few of the "who's on" and discovered a huge amount of people who have posted questions on yahoo search and then linked to IAFF from their search. A lot of people out there are looking for answers to questions regarding foreclosures and short sales and unfortunately they are being directed to that idiot's site. My son (who is extremely computer proficient) suggested that I might want to cloak myself when visiting sites that use sitemeter (I didn't do it here)...and he recommended a site called www.backfox.com
I then went to yahoo search and typed in "facing foreclosure help" (using uncloaked windows explorer) and clicked on IAFF..darn if I didn't show right up in the sitemeter, including my yahoo search question and link to my results page. I next used backfox.com to go to yahoo and did the exact same thing...but that time I was completely invisible.
Pretty nifty.
Dolph, if he gets too aggravating, try what I do: picture him brandishing his fist and yelling his "freaking haterz! I'm done with you!" rant like George Kastanza's dad at his laptop screen.
Should we really believe that he's 3 months back? He really doesn't have much to post anymore so he's talking about cleaning pools and other stupid stuff.
@5:48 PM, Anon
LOL!!
@Dolph
Serenity NOW!!! LOL
Commented at IAFF - I doubt it will get through the strict moderation.
"Does your sister inlaw work? Like does she leave the house every day, drive to her W-2 job and work for 8+ hours a day to pay her bills?
What do you do all day? What does G do all day? Not just bits and peices of the day (getting a filing cabinet from Ikea can be done in less than 30 minutes) - but the whole day.
Does your sister inlaw resent you & G for sitting around all day while she pays all the bills? Do you do chores around the house, like the laundry and the dishes to contribute? Does she accept these as alternate forms of rent payments?
Why aren't you ashamed to have her supporting you?
By the way, I doubt you'll post this - if you do, you wouldn't have the blue balls to answer it honestly. It isn't meant to be as cruel as it may sound. I'm genuinely curious why you feel it is ok for you and your wife to be slackers and be taken care of by other hard working individuals."
Fucktard didn't let through a single one of my posts under the pool debacle today. Guess I went a bit harsh on his lame ass.
I don't even want Steph's Boots to do the kicking any more, I'll get my steel-toed Doc's out and do it myself! Think I can talk douchebag into springing for airfare?

"What the hell did he do with all the money? He is now 3 months behind on rent YET he has money for Ikea and a trip??????????????"
If I'm his SIL (or her husband--is she married?), I'd be seething. The little turd hasn't worked in over a year, has ruined the financial future of Galina, is mooching off of her, and he's using what little money he can scam up for a fucking vacation? I truly hope that he's a sound sleeper, but I'd get a kick out of reading about a Lorena Bobbit-style assault.
FWIW, I registered at IAFF last night with a "virgin" Yahoo email address. So far, no spam.
I call BS on the "3 months behind on rent". I smell an attempt get Haterz worked up for another beg-a-thon.
If he really is 3 months behind his SIL is a dumbass for putting up with that crap.
Notice how the only comment he's approved within an hour after posting the google map site is the one I wrote asking Larry, Moe And ... where to send the $10 that I am so graciously willing to contribute?
I used some throwaways and some of them had spam on them by the time I got the confirmation.
On another note, I've been perusing the leaked Lindsay Lohan material and have yet to find a mention of Nigel. Maybe the reason is that she has a pet name for him or something?
Definately PC.

Just figured out my business plan for my second shell corporation. I'm going to start a weblog called Donthatenigel. To do this, I will need to finance:
A second house in which to have a second home office
Five quad-core Mac Pros with 30" displays
Lots of Ethan Allen furniture--no cheap-ass Ikea shit
A T3 line with haterz™-proof internet firewall
Once I monetize the Donthatenigel blog, I will then have enough cash flow to purchase all the land in a second state via eminent domain, and lease it back to the original landowners.

@IAFF(I'm A Fucking Fool)
So the CD burning money was used for your week-long vacation and not for the rent like you insisted earlier?
I'd never buy (or rent) a house with a pool again - twice burned. They are a financial drain and you never use them as much as you think you would. In Australia a lot of in ground pools are fiberglass and you can find enterprises that will remove the pool, fill in the hole and actually pay you a token sum for the pool shell which they fix up and resell to another sucker who hasn't experienced the joys of pool cleaning.
I now live in a Condo with a shared pool I used about once a week.
GENTLEMEN,
Mr. SERIN claims that the unflattering satellite photo of his pool was taken before he owned the property.
This evening, a colleague of mine arrived at the Modesto home and forwarded me a picture.
You may view it here. And yes, mosquitoes should be the least of his worries.
I remain,
M. SINGH
I highly recommend Sputnik and some of his friends heading over to the Modesto house with their used cat litter....
Sputnik and friends need to do some serious pooping.
About 27 miles for fucktard to drive from West Sac to Roseville to pick up his mail. Yet he can't drive 70 miles to clean up the cesspool.
Mr. Singh,
IS that a dog wearing a hat submerged in his pool?
Just wondering.
PS - I will not register at Casey's site - he can kiss my East Coast ass.
PPS - I hope he drains the pool and while he is shoveling sludge out of the bottom (you put it in plastic bags casey), the sides cave in. Not trapping him, I want him to survive to see the day that the bank decides to truck in gravel and dirt and some nice rolls of sod. This property is a dog.
That is superb.
I am not a pile of sludge like that Jackass realtor said. Something tells me I'm gonna be here under this green-ass water for a long time. Oh and yes, the google maps are all Casey Serin neglect. If you vould get closer, you'd see me in those pics...
GENTLEMEN,
Thank you for your comments. I was inspired by a response Mr. SERIN received that warned ducks and Nessie will be living there.
You may have seen the movie "Amazon Women on the Moon" -- which featured a segment purporting that Nessie and Jack the Ripper were the same individual. Here is a still from the movie, featuring interaction between the monster -- who is wearing period costume -- and one of his victims. All I needed to do was to add the feminine satchel, and the picture was ready for public consumption.
Although the Loch Ness Monster is a fixture of public consciousness, there are very few good renderings of it -- only blurry photographs. As you are aware, people mistook benign objects in the lake as the monster. In a delicious twist of irony, it appears people would mistake the Loch Ness monster for something else.
No matter what, with yet another gaffe to his detriment, no one will mistake Mr. SERIN for a successful real estate investor.

It works for me.
Yes it's back. Must have been some temp glitch or server maint or similar. I was about to look at the FBI site, pity.
GENTLEMEN,
Mr. SERIN consistently complains about negative comments. Considering the debacle with the swimming pool and (I am sure) the Modesto house's natural, organic, healthful spa -- exactly what type of positive comments does he hope to receive?
What do you suppose will happen when the Muncy short-sale buyer (assuming that this isn't a fictitious short-sale offer in order to stall foreclosure for another month) discovers the condition of the pool? Furthermore, what do you suppose the buyer will do when he discovers that the rest of the world was informed, but not him?
Whatever the prospective buyer will do, I'm sure it won't be nearly as entertaining as one of the "haters" helping themselves to a new IKEA filing cabinet -- which I am sure will be promptly left at the curb, as well as the rest of Mr. SERIN's belongings, in the next week.
I remain,
M. SINGH
You posts are always interesting Mr Singh. It provokes me to ask what happens if (when?) Cashcall or a similar creditor calls round to remove property to pay their debts. Apart from imagining two large gentlemen holding Mr Serin down while his murse is removed and Mr Serin muttering "It's all good...It's all good", what happens to the property so removed. I take it they turn up in a large van and remove goods for later auctioning off. Now that would be some sale: Blueball once owned by CS, nearly new IKEA office furniture, PDA, etc.
Can someone tell me what the process actually is in CA?
GENTLEMEN,
I believe I need to amend the last sentence of my previous post. Do you suppose that Mr. SERIN will refuse to leave unless presented with an eviction notice? He is, by his own admission, familiar with the procedures of Sacramento's unlawful detainer system.
I should direct you to this interesting article about a landlord trying to avail himself of a rather interesting tenant.
I remain,
M. SINGH
Actually I keep hearing references to the blue ball. Casey never did tell us if the guy showed up and bought it from him after the last beg-a-thon. I would have showed up just to watch him walk around with the big blue ball in front of Jamba Juice for half an hour. That would have made some SWEET photographic material (wink wink to the locals).
And as far is his inability to address any serious question, and then go so far as to admit he has not yet addressed it should give any newbie insight into why he so infuriates the crap out of every one of us.
xpost:
The others are right, Casey. If you want to have Monkeydance II, you're going to have to make up a good story on why you didn't pay Yulia. It sounds very much like the "urgent things" that came up were a vacation and some IKEA cabinets. Otherwise, nobody is going to give you a dime this time.
Annie must be glad she didn't send you her windshield money!
TK-
I seem to recall the guy who bought it posting here and saying that Casey cancelled on him.
Just lost a long post about Mr Singh's comments. Anyway, Casey is sharing part of the house isn't he? Aren't the laws different for that situation in CA?
Mr. WANKSPITTLE,
I have two web sites that I should bring to your attention.
The first is a glossary of judgment collection terms and procedures in the State of California.
The second is a very good commentary from the Santa Clara University School of Law. It is available here.
I remain,
M. SINGH
OK folks, I've had it. Time to start hammering him on this "week out of town". We need to make a concerted effort to beat it out of him. Photoshops, rampant speculation, all bets are off until he tells us himself what he's been doing.
Here are some quotes that should be thrown in his face to hold him down:
"Well, I am working and I am making money. Not a lot, but enough to get by. Not enough to catchup my defaulted loans but enough for food and rent."
"I actually want to make a positive difference and help people in foreclosure by sharing my story."
"Yes, perhaps I have not been very good about explaining things or I have given you partial information. I need to get better at that. But still, why do you have to jump to conclusions?"
"NO, I am not denying, hiding or running but instead standing up for what I have done and sharing openly in order to provide an example of what NOT to do."
"See the problem with my haters critics is that most of them don’t understand enough about what I’m doing to give me competent advice."
"Just because I’m facing foreclosure doesn’t mean I should stop living a normal life!"
"I’m not mooching off anybody. I’m paying rent for the rooms and my family willingly helps me with food from time to time. I’m in a time of distress and am blessed to have such great family support."
I also think perhaps being that the first quarter is out of the way, perhaps Mr. Serin would like to update us on his 2007 goals. Ahhhh, I'll do it for him.
1) no lying (For Sure!) Whoops
2) no money down (?) Whoops again - none to put down!
3) work part-time (?) Dang...
This morning I spent several hours talking to my wife about goals. Her 2007 goals/intentions for me and/or us:
1. Save her credit - no late marks and no BK!! No, No and No!
2. Pay off her 27K of debt ASAP Not even close.
3. Have 12K set aside for a year of school at UC Davis which she will transfer to in the summerSnort!
4. Stable income - what I have right now doesn’t feel stable to her Cause it isn't you freakin' idiot!
Man this is like shooting fish in a barrel. He's a complete failure in every single thing he ever suggests. He has never, not once completed a single task, has he?
By the way how's ablebuyer that you said would be up and running going for you Casey?
I have been reading the links supplied by Mr Singh and my first reaction is that one benefit CS thinks he has is the corporation he appears to have created. I would not be surprised if this has been "sold" to him not only because of the lines of corporate credit but also on the basis of some phoney asset protection theory. i.e. transfer some stuff into the corporation and your creditors can't touch it.
One other piece of information I would be curious about, how long has the house he is living in been owned? If it was only purchased recently and the mortgage is highly geared then the owner(s) may well be needing the rent soon.
M Singh asked the eminently reasonable question which, in paraphrase, is "exactly how does Casey expect the readers of his blog to receive his comments?"
The astounding huge capacity for self-delusion on the part of the boy Casey should not be '"misunderestimated'.
There is an alternative explanation, in which he is merely trolling us by reporting his latest idiocies and lassitudes and ending them with a "taaa daaa".
After all, the only wild success at flipping experienced by Casey is the flipping of (and flipping off) initially open-minded folk to turn them into haters. His extraordinary ability to hit the right buttons borders on the supernatural, and leads to the accusations that he is deliberately trolling.
I have settled into this category myself, these days. Like some vaudeville villain, he plays up people's expectations in the hopes of keeping the traffic high on his site. His story daily becomes less and less consistent; the emperor has no clothes and people are starting to chortle and turn away.
I find it hard to believe that, at heart, the boy still swallows his own propaganda. The enormity of his failure and its potential consequences enfolds him and shrivels any of the scatty resolve that his flawed personality can muster up, dissipating it in Cargo-cult ventures and hair-brained schemes. Disaster only accentuates his weaknesses and he fiddles as Rome burns.
GENTLEMEN,
Unfortunately, I am not qualified to answer the excellent question posed by Mr. WANKSPITTLE.
I thought that the promise of rent money by Mr. SERIN to his sister-in-law was enough to establish a landlord/tenant relationship. However, California's definition of a tenant versus a lodger is listed in the Department of Consumer Affairs' Landlord/Tenant Guide:
A lodger is a person who lives in a room in a house where the owner lives. The owner can enter all areas occupied by the lodger and has overall control of the house. Most lodgers have the same rights as tenants.
However, in the case of a single lodger in a house where there are no other lodgers, the owner can evict the lodger without using formal eviction proceedings. The owner can give the lodger written notice that the lodger cannot continue to use the room. The amount of notice must be the same as the number of days between rent payments (for example, 30 days). (See "Tenant's notice to end a periodic tenancy".) When the owner has given the lodger proper notice and the time has expired, the lodger has no further right to remain in the owner's house and may be removed as a trespasser.
Now, here is my question. Does the presence of Mrs. SERIN as a fellow lodger force her sister to formally file an eviction notice with the courts?
I would like to hear from a California attorney on this matter.
I remain,
M. SINGH
I'm not a CA attorney, but if that's the only applicable statute, it appears that Galina and Casey each count as lodgers. It doesn't look like she could even legally kick out one of them. The statute appears to be written to cover the situation where someone who owns or rents a house and has a significant other living with them.
In practice, having mooched off of Yulia for so long, one day she may become fed up, and Casey and Galina may return to the house to find all their stuff out on the curb. Besides, if they tried to press charges, Yulia could turn state's witness against KC and Galina--generally, you don't want to sue someone unless your hands are relatively clean.

Monkey economics. Pretty funny.
GENTLEMEN,
I am going to follow the actions of the wealthy Chinese fortune teller that was referred to earlier this morning -- and make a prediction of my own.
We have seen how Mr. SERIN has no problem asking for both money and labor -- in situations such as CashCall payments, the WordPress plugin code, and for help in cleaning his pool.
Perhaps his sister-in-law will find an alternative to the court system. She may recruit upstanding members of the tight-knit Russian immigrant community to perform binding arbitration between her and Mr. SERIN. (If this is the case, then perhaps his bartering agreement with the chiropractor may provide some welcome relief.)
However, more importantly: Where will Mr. SERIN live next?
My prediction is that he will ask his readers for lodgings. I suppose someone reading this message may attempt to agree to taking him in -- either because the reader believes such a situation would provide untold amounts of first-person comedy, or because the reader has fallen victim to Mr. SERIN's supposed mastery of "The Secret."
Whatever the case, I should not be the first to tell you that this would be a very, very bad idea.
I remain,
M. SINGH
I have a pool and the water is clean and clear. I had some pollen it but that has been filtered out. It's not too much work, mostly automatic. Not a financial drain either - a little higher power bill to run the pump and a couple hundred dollars of chemicals a year.
http://www.freakonomics.com/times0605col.php
A better look at monkey economics.
Mr. Singh,
While I do agree with you that Casey is indeed magical, I think it's more likely that they will end up at one of their parents' homes. (Probably Casey's.)
My worst case scenario for CS would involve GS separating from him, possibly backed by her family. He would then be left on the street and GS would find some pro bono defence lawyer wanting to make a name for themselves. She (after the appropriate advice and coaching) then goes to, say, the FBI and plea bargains to avoid jail but drops poor CS in it with lines like "C did all the deals" "C just told me the figures after" "I didn't know that - I never finished the accounting course" etc. etc. Not a happy ending for little Snowflake.
As long as Mrs. SERIN keeps Mr. Serin around, eviction is a moot point.
I see, however that buying at the absolute, complete and utter height of the market is endemic in the Serin/Suprun family.
I would like to see more information on that sale. Anybody have access to those records? R-Boy? Could be that Galina or Casey was involved in the purchase of this home. They only paid $300K for it, so unless Yulia is a cashier, making the payments shouldn't be that bad...unless they have an adjustable rate and put no money down. Those things might make the Serin's rent all the more important.
M. SINGH:
"binding arbitration"
Hilarious... I too predict that, if kicked out, they will move in with KC's parents. I'm not sure that Galina's family will keep supporting her, as it appears she is just as unwilling to work as KC.
GENTLEMEN,
The $300,000 purchase price of the Snapdragon property is indeed interesting. Perhaps the terms of the mortgage is why his sister-in-law was amenable to the agreement at first.
However, I do not believe that Mr. SERIN would wish to move into his parents' home. Despite the trampoline in the yard, I doubt those lodgings would present an attractive option for him. You have noticed that he has resisted requests from his readers to abandon his current business ventures and obtain a steady paycheck.
He may ignore his readers and consider them "haters," but what will he do when his parents continually pressure him to find employment?
Something tells me he does not want to find out.
I remain,
M. SINGH
Snowflake is calling the house a "money pit" because he has to clean the pool.
What a lazy, lazy little boy you are.
If you'd gone by the house once a month and scraped the leaves out at the very least you'd have a lot less work to do. Maybe if you were a REAL businessman you'd have the cash to have the electricty on to run the filter.
And you're going to flip apartment buildings. Suuuuuure you are. If you can't take care of a small house like that (which someone could be happily living in if it were'nt for you, fucktard), what makes you think you can handle the financial responsibilities of an apartment complex?
You'd make slumlords look like stellar management companies.
God, what a whiny little bitch you've revealed yourself to be. When i was 24, I made a deal with my folks to stay at home while I was on college, to avoid rent: I took care of a full acre of landscaping and lawns, a full size pool, repairs around the house, and did the bulk of the heavy lifting of cleaning for my mom. It generally worked out to an hour or two per day, and a full day on the weekend, and I did it HAPPILY. It was great exercise, saved me a ton of money, and made my parents really happy to not have to do it.
And you're whining and begging for help to clean out one pool - an afternoon's work at MOST.
Have you EVER done any meaningful work that did not involve you sitting on your ass and whining, Casey? Do you know how to use a hammer, or a screwdriver? I know you're incabable of changing a tire. Do you call Home Depot or a handman when a lightbulb burns out? Or do you make Galina do it? Who put your new IKEA crap together? I'd bet a billion dollars it was Galina, as you are incapable of follwoing even basic instructions, let along the surreal and often challenging assembly methods of IKEA.
I have nothing but disgust and contempt for you Casey, and men-children like you. You are incapable of caring for yourself, or your dependants. DO NOT have children.
Yeah, the pool was green when you bought it...yet you marketed pictures of a CLEAN pool. Liar. You fucking liar. You don't even try to be creative about lying anymore.
That's all you are Casey, a filthy, lazy liar. You are beyond contempt.
it appears she is just as unwilling to work as KC.
I have overlooked this. You may well be correct, which would also explain their excellent compatibility. We have the "Bonnie and Clyde" of "avoiding work but still thinking we can be millionaires".
Sorry, those record are not available in Yolo County.
I am just starting to convince myself that CS saw Napoleon Hill's classic work and only got as far as reading the title. "Think and Grow Rich".
TK & r-boy, you can access who bought the property and for how much. Yulia is the only name on the recorded mortgage and no one else has been deeded over on title. Home cost $302,000 and mortgage is for $241,592 (as of recording date of 6/20/05). And there does appear to be roughly $100K in equity.

BTW... I love how Wiley Coyote of Utah says that his pool is covered. My search for Swaby in Utah comes up with a Mark Swaby, but Nigey Poo is nowhere to be found. So Mr. Uber Broker doesn't even own a home?
Re:
>>Uber Broker doesn't even own a home?<<
Given his likely financial situation, avoiding home ownership may be the smartest thing Nigel has done recently.
Sac RE Agent - I am guessing that Yulia's home has a second mortgage as well. Often in the property records only the first mortgage shows up even when there are two.
Since $240K is 80% of $300K and 80/20 mortgages were so popular at this time, I would bet this is the case. Or maybe Yulia put $60K down but I doubt it.
I don't know. Mr. Uberbroker has a new post at DHC that shows a picture that MAY or MAY NOT be HIS indoor pool.
GENTLEMEN,
Who put your new IKEA crap together? I'd bet a billion dollars it was Galina, as you are incapable of follwoing even basic instructions, let along the surreal and often challenging assembly methods of IKEA.
I have noticed that when retail furniture requires assembly, the instructions are written in multiple languages -- such as English, Spanish, German, and Russian.
Mr. SERIN is known to understand two languages: English and Russian. Assuming his proficiency in Russian is similar to his understanding of English, and he takes cues from the paragraphs written in both languages, then there is a 60% chance he followed the instructions correctly.
In other words, the cabinet will fall apart in two days. This will make it even easier for his sister-in-law to place on the curb.
I remain,
M. SINGH
CS WANTS negative comments?
Reading Snowflake's website, I suspect that Snowflake may be smarter than he generally gets credit for.
Each of his items recently is well written to enrage his readers. He solicits negative comments by posting outrageous stories that are designed to get people to hate him.
Re:
>>Each of his items recently is well written to enrage his readers. He solicits negative comments by posting outrageous stories that are designed to get people to hate him.<<
According to recent posts excerpted here, "well-written" might not be an apt description. It is undeniable trolling, however much truth is in it.
When one has exhausted all resource, has abandoned dignity, and is thus reduced to one exploitable, meager, mundane "talent", the inevitable result is prostitution. Casey's antagonism is no more artful than a crack whore peddling his or her wasted ass. The ultimate fates of Casey and the common street skank may be similar.
Anonymous 8:54,
Are we sure Nigel isn't writing these? It's a total M.O. of his to inflame the very people he takes to task for being "negative." It's almost like a radio DJ who takes all the bad calls just to keep the show "riveting."
If Nigey isn't writing these, who's to say he hasn't given Casey tips on how to play the game to keep readership up. Look at DHC and then look at IAFF and you will see they are in synch with playing to the haterz.
Fannnnn,
Exactly. He's slipping in his catchphrases and playing the helpless thing up to a new level. My guess is he NEEDS the haterz more than he admits. Why else would he post something like "I am tired of you Haterz!"
Total troll bait.
GENTLEMEN,
It is indeed possible that Mr. SERIN writes in a way to generate as much negative feedback as possible. However, I would not be so bold as to rank him with garden-variety Internet trolls. Their out-of-pocket expenses nowhere match those of Mr. SERIN.
There are two interesting journal articles that might shed light on this situation. The first, Allure of Negative Feedback: Self-Verification Strivings Among Depressed Persons has an interesting premise: People with negative self-assessments "preferentially solicited unfavorable feeedback, although receiving such feedback made them unhappy." Why? Because the feedback helps "to confirm their firmly held self-conceptions out of a desire to maximize their perceptions of prediction and control."
Moreover, the research team discovered something else: Their major finding was that married persons with
negative self-views were more committed to spouses to the extent that their spouses appraised them
negatively. Of interest here was the evidence that participants were more committed to the extent that
their partners' appraisals "made them feel that they really knew themselves." Does this sound like an "Inspector Guardian" that we know of?
The second article, which I believe has already been brought to Mr. SERIN's attention, is Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments. From the abstract:
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The
authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these
domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make
unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4
studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and
logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the
12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration
to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically,
improving the skills of participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them
recognize the limitations of their abilities.
Mr. SERIN has long been accused of holding overly favorable views of his skills in real estate, business acumen, public relations, and style choices. He has not had any formal college education or real estate training, and is therefore incapable of recognizing a "sweet deal" even if it was presented to him under objective criteria. Moreover, despite the constructive criticism he receives daily from mortgage brokers, real estate investors, and economists -- he continues to make the same mistakes over and over again, all the while relishing the fact that believes himself to be more competent than experts in those fields.
So yes, it is indeed possible that Mr. SERIN does need the "haters," and not just for the traffic.
I remain,
M. SINGH
Serin singed by Singh once again!
I tried to find Casey resonance in Political Ponerology: A Science on The Nature of Evil adjusted for Political Purposes II but it was too much of a reach. Your citations are cogent and well-chosen, M. Singh.
Yeah, there is a possibly could be a second, especially a silent second, that didn't get recorded. My experience has been that if a lender filed the lien, then it will show up in county records. But I'm sure not all records are current. So this could be one that isn't.
Excellent analysis Mr Singh.
What a waste. Homeless people could be living there, and probably wouldn't neglect the house as much as Casey has.
Where's the SOCIAL JUSTICE?
I answer to a post a while back, I recall a post saying that Nigel rented.
I'm glad to see Sputnik left snowflake a message.
