I Have Seen the Future...

And the future is disintermediation. Nigel the Mortgage Broker is Nigel the Candlemaker. Casey the RE flipper/birdogger/investor is the modern version of a Matchmaker. Fewer middlemen. Finer margains.

Oh, and that damn estrogen contingent of EN that we love so much is insisting on equal time again. Thus:

Hard to look away from the picture on the other page.. but..

Continuing in the gas price mode, this might help explain why no one in gov. gives a damn about the price.
Gas Taxes by state 2002

The govs are making a mint off of gas taxes... numbers are cents per gallon. This is probably why DC is low (not to offend those in power..??)

This also does not include the effect of state corporate taxes on income earned within any particular state.

Nigey poo is trying to start a blog war to drive up his traffic...when the smoke clears, his new site will appear. Of course, he's banking on the fact that Numbnuts Jr. is going to engage him in a fight. Everyone knows that Casey only goes toe to toe with women and goes scurrying into a corner when men confront him.

Or maybe he'll just hit Nigey-poo with his murse.

Yours,
--the Scarlet Pumpernickel

Rob -- if you want to give the estrogen brigade some real joy, try someone a bit sexier and less sheer beefcake-y. How about Ioan Gruffydd? mmmmm.

Casey Serin.
CASEY SERIN!
God's creature, right?
God's special creature?
Ha! And I've warned him, I've warned him every step of the way.
Watching him bounce around like a fucking game, like a wind-up toy!
Like 170 pounds of self-serving greed on wheels!
The next thousand years is right around the corner, and Casey Serin -- take a good look.
Because he's the poster child for the next millennium!
These people, it's no mystery where they come from.
You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it could split atoms with its desire, you build egos the size of cathedrals, fiberopticly connect the world to every-eager-impulse, grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green gold-played fantasies until every human becomes an aspiring emperor!
Becomes his own God!
Where can you go from there?
And as for scrambling from one deal to the next, who's got his eye on the planet?
As the air thickens, the water sours, even the bees honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity--and it just keeps coming!
And it just keeps coming!
Faster and faster!
There's no chance to think, to prepare, it's `buy futures, sell futures' when there is no future!!
We've got a runaway train, boy!!
We've got a billion Casey Serins all blogging into the future.
Every one of them reading to fist-fuck God's ex-planet, lick their fingers clean as they reach out with their pristine cybernetic keyboards to total up their billable hours!!
And then it hits home!
It's a little late in the game to buy out now!!
Your belly's too full, your dick is sore, your eyes are bloodshot, and you're screaming for someone to help!!
But guess what?
There's no one there!!
You're all alone, Casey!!
You're God's special little creature!!

Maybe it's true. Maybe God threw the dice once too often. Maybe He let us all down.

Rob Dawg's in a posting frenzy upon return from el capital!!! I imagine you're quite full of quality time with the fam...

This pic made me realize something. Sadly, I am not the gay man in a woman's body that I have always claimed to be.

(sigh) and just like that, another deeply-held truism gets tossed into the wind.

I posted my dillemma earlier - I was thwe guy going out on the date with the gorgeous 5'10 brunette, but she's a realtor. I'm picking her up in 10 minutes.

Depending on how the date is going, if it's goign great i keep my mouth shut about the REIC, if it's goign south, out comes the bubble talk. Nice!

See ya later.

Miranda Mayer said...

Ew. That guy looks like a giant, multi-limbed, bad-haired plump from the steamer frankfurter.

You can tell when it's a straight man picking out what he thinks women like. Nice try tho.

Nigel is as smarmy as they get. He's all righteous about never exposing private emails, and selectively forgot his prior offenses on IAFF trying to show a hater up. I love the scramble to cover his ass now that he's realized that we've been right about that little butt hole all along-he'd rather 'mount' high horse than admit that the haters warned him all along. AND his claims that the haters have softened to him since the breakup. The only thing that's softened is his erection for Casey.

I just tried to listen to T's interview with that All good & Sweet blog. I must now go and rest, that was exhausting. You know what I mean?

Goodnight everyone. Hugs & Kisses to all.

You wish to please the women with a picture of someone of the homoqueequeegay persuasion? Odd choice. Not that there's anything wong with that. Martin is closeted, but so are my shoes and my talkin' Freddy Krueger dolls, which have yet to appreciate in value. I ain't lettin' 'em go until they hit an ebay consensus of $12.50, dammit! If I ain't a high roller, it's only because my dealer is visiting his mom for Easter.

Re:

Nigel is not a man. Best I can tell, he's a goddamn rat. But, that's kinda cool, I mean, in movies when rats talk it's magical and nice. Cinderelly! Look out for Rucifee! He's being too orange again!

Interesting you would choose the poster from the Filmation production of the animated FLASH GORDON, rather than a poster for the live-action production with the soundtrack written by QUEEN in five minutes, although it was all Brian May really, and Freddy Mercury just stood around inhaling poppers to keep his butthole flexy and yelling FLASH! AH! AH! when so instructed.

The Filmation FLASH GORDON spaceships always kinda bugged me, but I liked 'em, too. They flickered like mad! They were shot on high-contrast film from actual dimensional models, then xeroxed onto cels. The process was never perfected, thus the ships had outlines that vibrated like THE FLASH on crack, but not my crack, thank you. I don't swing that way.

The first season of the subsequent Saturday norning series was very good by early-1980s TV cartoon standards, but the second season, in which Flash was given a cute flying dragon sidekick, was a disaster.

Let's see if snowflake posts the following:

Hey Casey:

What gives?

asw = whatdebt

You need to do something - and do it BIG. Your traffic is slowing - everyone is bored.

Tomorrow you will be on Suzy Orman's show - WOW CNBC national media - what exposure - you better get ready to start moderating big time...... 'cause there will be a lot of traffic. If you don't get on the ball, Nigel and the guys at EN will get all the traffic and glory of telling their stories.

Better start reporting and trolling now or you'll "loose" out.

----------------------------------

Tomorrow is Casey's big day. He could be getting a whole lot of "new" traffic from the poor souls who watch Suzy's show. Let's be prepared and be assured that any "new" readers of snowflake's blog know the TRUTH, not something he attempts to construct with tomorrow's posting.

I am including the following on all my IAFF posts:

I will not read this site on Wednesdays unless you post your expenses and income for the prior week

If many people do this, he can't delete all those posts. If many people stop reading on Wednesdays, he'll be forced to post the info. I don't think he would want to lose the traffic.

Grrr...more troll bait from the King of stupid


KC said "With this agent, no news is good news. I’m assuming things are progressing along."

(Wasn't that your main problem? Being too lazy or stupid to follow thru with anything? As if just ignoring something just makes it go away. You don't have many houses to watch anymore pinhead, focus on this one LAST house. Call your agent, be proactive..not sit back and assume every thing is going great)

KC "But hey, perhaps I will have one successful short sale under my belt after all."

This guy needs a lobotomy. One successful short sale? That's nothing to brag about, as short sale means you still screwed up(can't pay your mortgage and can't even pay then lenders back fully), and you couldn't even do the sale yourself, you just outsourced it.



KC "I can’t take all the credit though. Success is all about having great team players, like my awesome short sale agent in Modesto. I already referred a couple of people facing foreclosure to him."

Credit for what? That's right KC, tell us all about the little golden nuggets of wisdom you have learned about how to be a 'success' You referred people to your agent who hasn't even successfully done a short sale for you yet? I smell referral fee in there somewhere.

KC "
That’s the kind of network I want to build. A team of short sale specializing real estate agents across the country who I can refer people too and help them avoid foreclosure on their record. Not many agents are willing to do short sales and the ones that do, few are good at it. I’ve been blessed with some good ones. " AND you would know this how? The craptacular short sale record under your belt?

Same ol' Casey, he just wants to sit back and make 'passive' income by doing nothing. His brilliant mind and connections is all the work he he feels he needs to get paid. You don't have connections KC, any1 who is affiliated with you is more than likely a scam artist as well.

KC "So I feel like even if we get 1 out of 4 short sales accepted, we’re doing pretty good."

If both your balls were cutoff you would think you were doing pretty good. What's with the WE shit? You got a mouse in your pocket?


You are not doing pretty good, you are not even breaking even, you are in terrible terrible shape. Take a look at your FICO and tell me you are doing good.

Hey asshole! Don't insult rats!

That is all.

Rob Dawg said...

Fannn,
Yep, I deliberately went for the camp sci-fi reference. At least I didn't use a picture of "Eric(?)" the three armed navigator from the animated Star Trek series. And yes, the Queen track was playing while I composed. I do that. I've got so many tracks it's rare to not have something topical in iTunes. The other sci-fi soundtrack of theirs; Highlander.

Thanks for removing the Mr. chunk o' mutton. Now that you mention The Highlander, for future posts please consider the osoyummy hearthrob Adrian Paul....

It appears Casey's opportunity to create an online foreclosure resource has been obviated by a bigger player.

YAHOO FORECLOSURE CENTER

An article about it:
In a sign of the financial times, Yahoo unveiled an online Foreclosure Center on Wednesday that gives tips on how to buy foreclosed homes and allows people to search for foreclosed properties by city or ZIP code.

Interested in the tony Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland? There's a photo of a five-bedroom, 3,200-square-foot house on Acacia Street whose owners received a notice of default because they owe $493,000. Or there's a three-bedroom, 1,439-square-foot home on Alcatraz Avenue whose owners have $665,000 in unpaid debt.

Yahoo executives said they started the site to help average house hunters find bargains in foreclosed properties.

"This is a smart move by Yahoo to tap into a large market," said Ken Rosen, chairman of the Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics at UC Berkeley. "This new market dynamic (of foreclosures) is big, ugly and unfortunate, but it leads to opportunities as well."
