...and not a damn new thing, not even any interesting old things. I feel like I'm shopping a yard sale after all the good stuff is gone. I know, I know "itsallgood" but the flake drives from Sacto to Tahoe only to waste 2 hrs plus driving and 2 hrs talking to a publisher and 5 hrs screwing up a canned wordpress plug-in. I'm sick of the hors de'ouvres bring on the tartare.

and I would also add: MURST
Dammit...
Thanks for not letting me down Dawg.....I know I can count on your punctuality!
When I saw Dude hangin at 7:04 I just knew I had to mess with him. In a nice way of course not a Tony Soprano way.
Damn...........
Who gives a f&*% about Casey and his stupid, trolling comments. Like I would think of handing him any money at this time. He's been unresponsible with every other dollar he's received and now he thinks people would be interested in getting some sort of upgraded posting rights for $10.
I'm just about done with Casey's IAFF. It's wasted more than enough of my time. If there's no payback, not even emotional enjoyment, it's time to move on.
I have to agree. I checked out of IAFF a while back. Until he comes home and find the locks changed, things will remain the same. I'm halfway tempted to do the Corp Credit thing myself. Shit, Snowflake has shown us that you can outright steal, blog about it, and get away clean...
LOOK! HATERS ON CNN!
Foreclosures surge on mortgage woes
Filings were up 35 percent in the first quarter;
Detroit and Las Vegas get hammered.
By Les Christie,
CNNMoney.com staff writer
http://realestate.aol.com/article/investing/_a/foreclosures-surge-on-mortgage-woes/20070427174009990001
"Nevada had the highest foreclosure rate - there was one for every 75 households. The Las Vegas area had undergone a boom in speculative real estate investing during the red-hot housing market years of 2004 and 2005 and, as prices have dropped, the speculators are taking bad beatings."
***************
and nobody wonders why SNOWFLAKE WENT TO NEVADA OF ALL PLACES???
BMIT notes that the cumulative number of defaults going all the way through to foreclosure are off any historical track. In good times only a small percentage become REOs. Look at Countrywide. Their REO inventory increased 19% last month alone.
Does anyone have instant commenting? Can we share login id's or does Snowflake have the ability to restrict based on IP?
I suspect a vast right wing conspiracy to thwart my FIRSTNESS
Hey! I'm not that -vast-. All my Dem friends assume I'm a Dem. All my Rep friends suspect I'm a Rep. All my Libertatian friends know I'm a subversive 5th columnite.
@ Fear The Murse
I still do and I don't mind sharing. I doubt he's up to trying to restrict IP's
You need to realize that your firstness has always been VIRTUAL and "in its last throws". We will take you and your murse down by firsting the crap out of you!
All in the name of saving world peace an make Jesus return....
@Dawg -
I am impressed that your last post was not Casey-centric and had over 125 posts! Of course, covering ducks, duckie dongs, duck violations, stoned poets, stoned ducks, Barbie jacks and more might have something to do with the popularity.
p.s. I was also lurking for Murstness but I can't believe I got distracted & lost out!
I'm outta here.......
A couple of months ago, I offered to help Casey moderate his comments (just so I could read what kind of stuff he was deleting). After "negotiating" with him about the moderating terms, I finally told him to shove it, it was too much of a pain to get him to agree to have a moderator.
So this morning I get the following e-mail from Snowflake, and thought I'd share with the Ex-Urbs:
"Are you still willing to help moderate?
I enabled instant comments again, however I don't let somebody just
get an account and go instant right away. I have to grant that
feature to them first. This will prevent people from saying bunch of
crap, I delete their account and then they create a new one right away
with a new email address. The delay in approval will cause people to
behave better. Perhaps.
Anyway, I need help finding bad comments and disabling their accounts.
After a while people will see that they can't just be disrespectful
and I'm hoping the whole thing will be a little bit more clean.
(Edginess/criticism is OK, just not too far)
If you see something over the top, a personal attack, too vulgar, etc…
just shoot me a quick email with the comment ID pasted. You can see
the comment ID by clicking the DATE of the comment.
If things go well I will give you a special account with direct access
to moderate comments for me and will credit your website/company on
this blog as the official "comment moderator" (unless you want to stay
private).
I only need a couple of trustworthy moderators. Let me know. Thanks!"
Twerp wouldn't let my post through from last night ...
"Pardon the interruption,
But where did you get the $ to
Engage in some 'sweet' time off
Crusing around Tahoe?
Since you haven't updated your finances
Everyone has been guessing ... maybe
Nigel gave you some help?
Here's your chance to answer our
Questions and take off the veil."
Bemused,
When the label is metablog the ENers know it is time to go crazier than usual. Yeah, I'm not sure what forum "duck rape" or "Barbie Orifices" would go under. Actually the plan is to retain the stream of blog on the top page with a toggle for linear or nested threading. The forums wil be a hierachical page and page per topic clickable from the left sidebar. RSS and Atom? Yes but I haven't done it yet. A reader suggested an email digest feature. That'll wait for v1.1 unless it is a package feature I can just turn on.
Anyway, thanks for the kind words. I'll be going back to a bit of work now.
How did I miss all these "juicy" details?
Local rich dad bought that building not too long ago.
I was going to work out of that office to give me a productive environment and to also watch my Rich Dad’s real estate flipping business and learn They told me I can be a “mentor”.
Things didn’t work out because they didn’t really have any kind of a mentoring program setup for me (it was mostly all talk) and they have been doing almost no deals because they are waiting for RE market to stabilize.
So:
Rich Dad owns the building.
He was going to mentor Casey but didn't have "a mentoring program setup" so Casey couldn't possibly just like "hang round" with him and learn what he did. But then....
"it was mostly all talk" - Hmm, who does that sound like? and...
they weren't doing any deals anyway as they were waiting for the market to "stabilize". Begs the question what they've been doing since then and what they will be doing for the next year or two.
I get the feeling of "the blind leading the blind" here, but I may be wrong about it.
"We will take you and your murse down by firsting the crap out of you!"
At first glance I read that as "fisting the crap out of you"
I still feel a bit ill.
CASEY GO TO THE NATURE AND PLAY WITH PLUGINS. NIGEL DRINK CRISTAL OUT OF LINDSAY LOHAN BELLYBUTTON NEXT TO POOL (NIGELS POOL). WHY THE HATERZ ARE TALKING ON STUPID CASEY BLOG?? NO ONE CHAT WITH NIGEL ON MEEBO PORTALZ. THIS MAKE ANGRY NIGEL MORE ANGRY. NOW ANGRY NIGEL HAVE TO COUNT TO 9 TO CALM DOWN.
2,7,5,9....
2,7,5,9....
2,7,5,9....
ARGHHH.
I think Casey's 15 minutes ended a couple weeks ago.
shades of casey?

i like the part where the pastor didn't pay taxes, take care of the place, and just talks talks talks.
they have been doing almost no deals because they are waiting for RE market to stabilize
This is the same local Rich Dad that Casey proudly proclaimed as able to make money in a falling market?
Seems like all Casey learnt from his mentor is a finer line of bullshit.
Here's IAFF right now.
List of hard-hitting questions with one simple one
Casey answers simple one
List of other questions
Casey ignores
Somebody asks something he can handle like "Why did you use the term brainstorming and it's just you?"
Casey says "Oops"
Somebody says "Hey Casey, why are you dodging all of the real questions here and expect to not be considered a scam artist?"
Casey ignores.
Lawnmower Man
Didn't he also expect to be mentored and it turned out to be "a lot of talk"?
Wecome to the Real World Casey. The world where you have to be careful about being sold a bill of goods. Sucks don't it?
@Lawnmower
You forget my iamfacingforeclosure.com jokes ! They will make his site really famous....
At first glance I read that as "fisting the crap out of you"
It's that font. I just read the above as "fishing the crap out of you".
Sad news for those of us who have followed the dawn of the space age.
Wally Schirra passes away
I think Casey's 1000+ emails are all spam. Quite honestly, who would actually send him a serious email? He's probably treating every offer from the exiled Crown Prince of Nigeria as something legit.
Sorry, this is a better link.
Wally Shirra passes away
I am facing foreskin closure.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that he had the potential to become a Nobel Prize winner, write the next War and Peace, and possibly even find a cure for cancer", Swaby added.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that rolling out the trash once a week was the toughest task he could handle and even then, not successfully most of the time," Galina added.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized he had zero chance of ever paying back this loan and my job became to extract every dirty penny I could while lengthening the term of loan as much as possible," Blip added.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that I had a real moron in front of me and that my task was to sell, sell, sell that high priced crap, make him feel like a grown up businessman, and maximize my commission," the IKEA salesman added.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that this twit was dumber than me. What's he doing buying overpriced juice, I thought? I guess that's how our company stays in business," Jamba Juice Clerk added.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that he has some real gender issues and my objective was to unload as many of those horrid manbag murses as possible. I might get a bonus for getting them off the shelves," Murse Salesman added.
This is real life, not the Flipper Drama of our dreams. We're not going to get the smooth, orderly wind-down and dissolution we want. Life generally is not as orderly and dramatic as we want it to be, nor do the dramatic bits happen in the timeframe we think they will.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that I had the embodiment of the New American Dream in front of me and that my task was to make sure my goals in Iraq were as solid as his were in the real estate world." -GWB
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that the guy needed a quick dip in the mosquito infested waters of Lake Green Fungus. Tossing him in there might get me a standing ovation from the neighborhood," Modesto Neighbor added.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that this dude must be smoking some awesome shit. I also realized that now was my best shot ever to dump that piece of shit van to a bigger fool," Hippie Van Salesman added.
"As I spoke with Casey, I realized that if I had known then what I know now, I would never have voted for that war, much the same way Casey says he would not have signed some of those things he signed. It was a gray area", Clinton added.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that this guy has the magical ability to produce cash out of thin air. That will really come in handy when the in-laws and cash call are breathing down your neck, or for big money free agent signings", Steinbrennar added.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I realized that finally, finally, here was a bigger looser than me. Even my parents, Frank and Estelle, agree. At least I wake up and put on my sweatpants. I also told him to follow my award winning strategy of 'Do the Opposite'", Costanza added.
I am getting really tired of Casey trying to pull money out of me all the time.
Oh and Nigel, QUIT TOUCHING ME!
This may have been the finest 25 minutes in the history of EN.
Casey posted a few new pictures to his Flickr account. Is anyone familiar enough with the Tahoe area to figure out where he's staying?

The Starbucks cup peeking out from behind his laptop is genius. Looking closely at his laptop, you can see Outlook is open as he pans for gold nuggets in his e-mail. If Casey wasn't so lazy and had a business degree, I think he could do really well in marketing.
Ogg, so much so that I started its own thread for posterior.. err. posterity.

I think thats North Shore. I forget the name of the Casino
