Is this a joke??????????????????????????????????????????????????
Nobody laughs at my choices of subjects, titles or graphics and no one makes any witty comments about how appropriate they are. I pout. I may go to Wrightwood and pout a lot. You want EN to go IAFF? I think not.
Okay, going to the mountain cabin isn't the same as running away to Tahoe but you get the idea. And the idea is to not take all this too seriously.
Personally, I think Nigel does as he pleases: whether its supporting Casey, smacking Casey upside the head with reality, or "outing haterz" (umbrella term for any posts regarding haterz and their actions).

Rob,
No need to pout. You've just set a very high standard for yourself; the theme and photo are almost always very much on point, so excellent has become the expectation and doesn't generate any special notice.
Brings to mind a former co-worker's viewpoint that it was best to only give 85% to the corporate overlords on a routine basis. That way, when the chips were down and 100% effort was required and expended, it was more noticable. That view always grated on me but as a practical matter in the politics of the workplace it actually made sense.
I say bah to your photos. I want to see rear shots of galina crouching at the fridge.
can you provide something similar? perhaps with a little whale-tail action?
casey did. oh, and they have to be photos of a soon-to-be-divorcee who would make herself available for a warm meal and a coach bag. then, only then shall I be impressed.
just kidding. good job. and I usually chuckle. at the pictures with the headlines.
That depends on what you're trying to achieve. If your primary success metric is "eyeballs", then yes, it is. But if your metric is something else, like, say, qualified business leads, then the amount of traffic is much, much less important than the quality of that traffic.
People who do this kind of thing for a living understand the difference.
People whose tiny little packages get all wriggly at the thought of all those eyeballs on their website do not.
I love how he follows the post where he jumped on Rob for posting a speculative report (which was identified as such) with a post consisting of a partially made up conversation which is not identified as such. Nigel with a sense of humor is a nice change though. Now if he can just add a sense of humility.
As I recall, Sheep Jokes were a source of entertainment in a strange PA bar that no longer exists. FF, Please post something on your own blog and not the tedious, tiresome, twat's...
Two things about Nigel. Three if you stretch. You are corrct he isn't worth poop on a sidewalk but you make the effort to not step in thr Nigel don't you? Then there's the ethics issue, by simply ignoring the Nigel on the sidewalk someone else might step in it. Third, unlike a steaming pile of Nigel on the sidewalk this steming pile of internet Nigel can forget its place and rise up to smear the innocent. For those reasons we cannot let this stinking pile lie.

That was kind of what I was hinting at at DHC. Nigel wants to milk SLCRE both ways -- rake in cash by plastering it with as many adverts as possible, plus use it to drum up business. I think it makes his business look cheap and skeezy; but he seems happy.
Note also that Nigel confirmed that some of his ads pay per impression, not per click -- ie, just visiting SLCRE puts a few cents in Nigel's pocket. I'm even less inclined to visit and much more inclined to get around to installing AdBlock.
Oh, and I like the hubris of "MY analytics software" and "MY ad servers". Nope, Nigel: Google Analytics is Google's, not yours.
Isn't it time to forget Nigel and move along?
It's fun to tweak him. And with IAFF dead in the water and sinking fast, he's all we have left.
Oh, and the "Swaby added" crew can add a new Swabyism to the "algae caused by the sun", "indoor pool" etc gag lines: "I spent most of the day golfing."

An effective metaphor to say the least. Although I would say, based on the fact that Nigel is attempting to gain notoriety by riding Casey's coat tails, I would allude to the fact that the "stinking pile of poop" is actually attached to Casey's shoe. (Although smear effect could leave some rogue fecal matter on various corners of the sidewalk)
Naturally, Casey still has shit on his shoe after stepping in a heaping pile of it based on his "sweet deals".
Beware all. No one knows for sure what's in those Jamba Juice's he consumes. That poop may be borderline toxic.
(Exacerbated by the fact that he also eats at Denny's)
For anyone looking for excellent ad-blocking software, I highly recommend Ad Muncher. It's shareware with a 30-day trial period, but it's well worth the registration fee. It runs in the background, compatible with any browser.

Unfortunately TK it is not a joke. For example, if someone tried to give him constructive criticism about his pleather jacket, his receding hairline, his aged BMW, and his ethics, I am SURE it would be deleted. The only thing truly welcome at his blogs are the posts he makes under different identities. If he really wanted to make money, he should ask hair club for men advertise with Nigel as the before picture. Or he can advertise his site as a sleep inducer for insomniacs..the organic way. Why do you think Casey is napping all the time..he checks out Nigey's site and passes out in minutes.
Just had a look round the usual suspects and I can't help laughing at the latest on donthatecasey. Is this a Freudian slip by Nigel? The title is " The Fecal Finger of Casey Serin Strikes Again"
That's Fecal as in pertaining to faeces. (I think the word you were looking for is Fickle but.....)

Wrightwood is probably a bit cooler than L.A. right now.

That's a pretty good mock up a sheep dog Rob!
Good traffic, bad traffic, it's irrelevant

"Is this a joke????"
Everything about Nigel Swaby is a joke.
Nigel is tedious, tiresome, twat in sheep's clothing and most definitely not a wolf.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
H. Murakami really changed my perception of sheep.
I love how he follows the post where he jumped on Rob for posting a speculative report (which was identified as such) with a post consisting of a partially made up conversation which is not identified as such. Nigel with a sense of humor is a nice change though. Now if he can just add a sense of humility.
You know, if it wasn't for EN, Nigel would get 0 traffic.
Is it time for a joke post, say, once a week?
Funny Friday?
Sheep Jokes?
Me, me, me.....
"What do you call spending the afternoon with a cranky rabbit? A bad hare day." Sweet !
As I recall, Sheep Jokes were a source of entertainment in a strange PA bar that no longer exists.
FF,
Please post something on your own blog and not the tedious, tiresome, twat's...
Who gives a rat's ass about Nigel? It's like this site is twisted on Nigel, lead by Dawg. Isn't it time to forget Nigel and move along?

I think Casey should be referred to as "Snowball" not "Snowflake"

Had to reaffirm the fact that Nigel sucks big time while watching the Inquisition programs.
Dear Casey,
Hope you're catching this here on EN.
Last week when GSPG was offered at $0.0017, did you double up on your long position? Did you buy even more when it sold off down to $0.0011?
Last trade today was $0.0027. Don't forget to sell into strength...and you do need to eventually get short, right?? After all, the company is basically broke. The only buyers here, except for the wishful-thinking pathological gamblers, are the shorts covering to clear the books.

The Inquisition pisses me off big time.
