I was sitting in my basement.
I just rolled myself a taste
Of something green and gold and glorious
To get me through the day.
Then my friend yelled through the transom
"Grab your coat and get your hat son,
There's a nut down on the corner,
Givin' dollar bills away"
But I laid around a bit
Then I had another hit.
Then I rolled myself a bomber.
Then I thought about my mama.
Then I fooled around, played around
jacked around a while and then
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.
It took seven months of urgin'
Just to get that local virgin
With the sweet face
Up to my place
To fool around a bit.
Next day she woke up rosy,
And she snuggled up so cozy.
When she asked me how I liked it,
Lord it hurts me to admit,
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.
I'm makin' no excuses
For the many things I uses
Just to sweeten up my relationships
And brighten up my day.
When my earthly race is over
And I'm ready for the clover
And they ask me how my life has been
I guess I'll have to say,
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.

First! Murst! Neener to all of ya!
Ahem....Dude clears throat.....
I like the idea of mailing snapdragon crapwads of pennies. I have no use for them, and it would be comical to imagine his emptying the envelopes and sheepishly showing up at the bank to cash them in.
Can we mail him literal dirty pennies? That would be pennies slathered in your choice of -- soil, animal poop, human urine, etc.
How about mailing a single nickel instead, but rolled up in Scotch-Tape. That way, if he wants the five cents badly, he'll need to do some work at un-raveling the tape. Thoughts? :-)
Again, all hypothetical, as I'm not sure of the legality of some of this. Just throwing stuff out there... hehe.
he'd have no problem cashing them in. come on he's the dancing monkey. he has no character. no pennies from me. not even one. nothing that would allow this F*CKER to go on one more minute in terms of his scamming.
How about instead of sending him anything, everybody gets Firefox with adblock and noscript. That way he gets no ad revenue or webstats.
DO NOT GIVE THAT LITTLE FUCKER CASEY ONE DIRTY DIME!
Next milestone is the quarter-million, eh?
Interesting: traffic at EN more than doubled during the week Casey went dark. Going into hater-avoidance mode just makes the hate stronger.
It's odd to see my favourite childhood poet Shel Silverstein writing about getting stoned.
I mailed him a dirty penny months ago. It was pretty worn and it had some scoring on it. he never mentioned receiving it.
@ Benoit™:
I'd avoid feces and urine, but I'm sure dirt is fine. Don't forget to send some greasy pennies™ for Vdubs too.
What about fetid pennies™ that have been soaked in Muncy pool water?
pictures of galina for the contents of the tip jar.
seriously, a "legitamate" way to monitize his blog would be for galina to set up a webcam. get yulia involved too.
"Firefox with adblock and noscript."
+ image block
I can't imagine using the web any other way.
Uhh.. I'm a bit flabbergasted over Casey's latest ten-bucks-to-instant-post-if-I-get-around-to-approving-you thing.
I mean, I'm used to him being a retard. And I know that timing the market isn't his strong point. But this goes beyond insane.. it's just plain stupid. No houses, Casey! It's over - we're at the denouement now. Casey, for fuck's sake, you're talking about living in your car like it's a magical adventure! WHY ON EARTH would anyone even care about instant posting now, much less pay you a goddamned membership fee to do it?? What seriously is there now to look forward to on IAFF, other than the captivating tale about how some teenagers ransacked your wooded lot camp and peed on battered sleeping mat?
Sad thing is, he'll get two or three. Just basic probability, random odds. And he'll look at it as a sign of his "comeback", rather than as the statistical noise it is. It'll be just another excuse to not go get a job.
I'm a bit disappointed in Yulia, though. Rent or no rent, it's time for him to go.
Steph,
When you mentioned ducks on an earlier thread were you referring to this...?
...When she first visited in January, the phalluses were the size of rice grains. Now many of them are growing rapidly. The champion phallus from this Meller’s duck is a long, spiraling tentacle. Some ducks grow phalluses as long as their entire body. In the fall, the genitalia will disappear, only to reappear next spring....
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/01/science/01duck.html?pagewanted=2&bl&_r=1&ei=5087%0A&en=ea4bc6088bb438e7&ex=1178251200
More Hypothetical Goodness™:
1) A letter to Yulia Suprun bearing the return address of Casey Serin's Roseville mail drop, telling her something to the effect of "Here's where you can shove your rent money, bee-yotch!!" ;-)
2) Certified Mail to Casey Serin, containing fictitious divorce papers allegedly signed by Galina.
3) Fake letters from CashCall threatening serious legal action (he may be getting legit ones already!)
4) Similar letters involving the Casey's lenders or the Sacramento Police Department ;-)
Is this what we've come to? Discussing duck dong?
Finally, it's about time.
Nice going Akubi,
Something tells me there is going to be a lot of ducks missing in SLC real soon.
@Akubi
I talked about the violent rape of the female ducks by the mallard males going on outside my office window; and Bemused in response directed me to an image of a mallard with what looks like a full-on tapeworm coming out of it. This was apparently a duck penis, something I would have been happier going through life not knowing about. ((thanks bemused)).
FF,
Stephanie has provided a new lead for Project SCOBY Doo™. We like to keep it organic, but ducks seem to somehow tie into the plankton/kombucha body of water theory.
Steph,
I must have missed that thread. What was the topic? BTW, I've been observing mating hawks outside my office window, but I haven't seen a penis yet.
No discussion of ducks is complete without mentioning:
The Peabody Hotel Ducks
Heck if I remember which thread it was in... you know how random I can be. I'm the poster child for Attention Deficit Disorder.
It must have been a few weeks ago... how long does it take eggs to hatch?
@the Dude
Aww! That's adorable.
That is cute, Dude
Legion, the thought of Nigel and a duck is almost too much to imagine. Somehow I don't think he'd get very far. Have you ever been bitten by a Duck?
@ Akubi:
I haven't, although a moose once bit my sister.
Stephanie,
It's a regional deal, but extremely popular. The ducks live in a penthouse suite on the roof and twice a day, the Duckmaster marches them down to the lobby where they spend the day in the fountain.....and then back to their suite. The whole hotel pretty much shuts down while the ducks are on parade:
"The Peabody Ducks march to and from the Grand Lobby twice daily in a time-honored tradition dating back to the 1930s. At 11 AM and again at 5 PM, the red carpet is rolled out and The Peabody Ducks march to the tune of John Philip Sousa's “King Cotton March” before a crowd of amazed and delighted guests."
Cute baby duckies? I'll give you Cute Baby Duckies.
"At 3:12 PM, Stephanie J. said...
It's odd to see my favourite childhood poet Shel Silverstein writing about getting stoned."
Steph, just look up the lyrics he wrote for Freaker's Ball (I think he did a lot of songs for Dr. Hook, in fact).
NR
ObCasey: Should the pennies be mailed individually, with postage COD?
Ogg,
A moose?! How did that come about?
@ Akubi:
You see, she was karving her initials into the moose...
duck dongs duck dongs duck dongs
has a nice ring to it!
casey is on a roll...everyone is a winner!
shel also did some (rather funny) cartoons for playboy as well.
kinda makes me think differently about "where the sidewalk ends"
What's happening Hot stuff?" - Long Duck Dong (Sixteen Candles)
Okay, I'm done for a while. The trainwreck will never end. Casey is not facing foreclosure anymore- he is done. He managed to blog his way through the loss of all those houses without really ever lifting a finger to try to save them. He never really suffered any of the hardships that a normal conscience and sense of self respect would have forced the majority of us to endure.
The guy will file bk at some point when his debts have aged enough to keep him out of trouble. I really just can't see tuning in to iamfacingabrokenwindow.com on a regular basis anymore.
I'll still check in here from time to time but all the speculating really just makes Idiot seem more intelligent than he is. The only facts that have been proven after months of this story are that Casey is lazy and Nigel Swaby is a complete idiot.
I never received a registration email from Casey. Did anyone else?
Oh, OK. Another plugin that didn't work...
as long as you registered last time though it doesn't matter...you can start posting over there now, I did just to see if it worked
Ugh! I go off to paint ceilings (or ceiling if I'm being honest lol) and I miss everything. I should have just stayed home and taken a nap.
So let me see if I got this straight or if I missed anything.
1) Casey is trying to get people to pay to have instant comments on his blog even though he has the right to deny them instant comments if his wittle fewlings get hurt?
2) Casey borrowed money yet again to pay of SIL?!?!? Who loaned him money? I bet he borrowed from his Corporation didn't he?
3) After borrowing money to pay rent he needs a vacation from the stress so he takes off to Tahoe?
Do I have all this right? I just don't even know how to respond to this! Maybe it's because I am so exhausted I could fall down but I really think its more that I honestly am flabbergasted at this boy's audacity!
@ Kerriella:
So let me see if I got this straight or if I missed anything.
We're discussing duck wangs now. Do try to keep up.
Kerriella said...
So let me see if I got this straight or if I missed anything.
That about it except for more than you ever wanted to know about mallard rape and duck wangs. Feel free to skip the 400 other posts excepting Timline guy who is on top of form today.
LOL Ogg,
Sorry I guess I was so shocked at the whole Snowflake fiasco that I didn't even notice the current topic.
Since we are on the topic of animals does walking into my living room to find a squirrel sitting there count as on topic? LOL I have GOT to go buy a screen door Friday.
Does anyone know if Casey's and/or G's parents are able to speak, read, write and comphrehend basic English?
If G's paren't don't grasp the concept of the English language, it would make it understandable why they haven't forced their daughter to drop the dead beat. To a foreigner, having one's picture and name blasted all over the internet could be spun into being successful.
Steph,
Did you read about this Jack Russell terrier...?
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/05/01/national/a204349D67.DTL&hw=tiny+terrier+dies&sn=001&sc=1000
Mozatta I don't think that is the case because Galina has pitched a fit several times over Casey posting sensitive information. I would assume she has probably complained to her parents about it.
WTF is his angle? He's very bright and in the game like during the begathon. I can SMELL IT!
kerriella: Or maybe not. She might want to keep her "dirty laundry" to herself (proud, or scared of parents' reaction, or some other reason).
Casey's mom works at a school and his dad has his own business so I assume they at least have competent English skills.
We know nothing about the Supruns.
I'll let you guess who said this: "Please don’t abuse the privelage."
More wurds for me to use!
Stephanie J.
A joke just for you. It's chickens, not ducks, and commerce rather than rape. However...
My uncle was in the fertilized egg business when I was young. He had several hundred young layers, called pullets, and 8 or 10 roosters whose job was to fertilize the eggs. My uncle kept records and any rooster or pullet that didn't perform well went into the pot and was replaced. Now this took an awful lot of time. So when my uncle saw a set of eight tiny bells that each rang a different tone he promptly bought them.
He glued a piece of foam rubber to each clapper shaft so the bell wouldn't ring except when violently shaken. He hung a bell on each rooster's neck and went and mixed a Mint Julep. Now he could sit on the porch and sip while filling out an efficiency report on the roosters by listening to the different tones of the bells and marking down each encounter.
My uncle's favorite rooster was old Brewster. Brewster was a fine specimen, but his bell didn't ring all morning. Uncle went to investigate.
Several roosters were chasing pullets, bells a-ringing. Brewster held his bell in his beak so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Chagrined at first, Uncle was soon so proud of Brewster he entered him in the county fair.
Brewster was an overnight sensation. They not only awarded him the No Bell Piece Prize but also the Pullet Surprise.
Sorry.
Hmm, he's back with instant commenting again. I can just see this becoming another disaster ...
Reminds me of the old joke. Baby Bull and Papa Bull were standing on a hillside overlooking a herd of cows. BB says "Hey pops, let's run down there and fuck one of those cows." PB says "I have a better idea son, let's walk down there and fuck 'em all".
Another funny one:
A father and son were out for a walk when they come across two dogs screwing. Son looks up at his dad and says "Hey dad, what are those dogs doing?" Father says "Son, those dogs are making puppies". Later that night, after the father had put his son to bed and read him a story, the son walks into his mom and dads room to ask for a glass of water. He opens the door to find dad on top of mom making love. The son asks "Hey dad, what are you and mom doing?" The father looks at his son and says "Well, uh son, your mother and I are making a baby brother or sister for you." The son thinks about this for a minute and says "You know what dad, why don't you turn mom over? I think I'd rather have a puppy!"
hehehe...
INSTANT COMMENTS BACK ON!!!
Go nuts fellas.
Ducks & Jokes, then?
A couple decide to go for a meal and after some deliberation decide on their local Chinese restaurant. They peruse the menu and finally agree
to share the chef's special 'Chicken Surprise'.
The waiter brings over the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.
Just as the wife is about to start in on the meal, the lid of the pot rises by a tiny amount and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.
'Good grief, did you see that?' she asks her husband.
He hasn't so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two beady little eyes looking around before it firmly slams back down.
Rather perturbed he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation.
'Well sir', says the waiter, 'What did you order?'
'We both chose the same', he replies, 'the Chicken Surprise'
'Oh I do apologise, this is my fault' says the waiter...
'I've brought you the Peeking duck'
Instant comments - I like !
OK, my turn......
At the local nursing home three old men are sitting around the lobby. The 60 year old guy says, "You know what I'd love....I'd love to be able to take a good piss first thing in the morning...it would be great". The 70 year old guy says "I know what you mean, but what I would love is to be able to take a big dump first thing in the morning....it cleans out the system and starts the day off right". The 80 year old guy says "At 6am sharp every day, I take a huge piss and empty my bladder. At 6:05 I take the biggest dump you've ever seen".
The other two ask the oldest...."So what's your wish then?". The old guy says "I'd love to wake up before 7am...."
That isn't the end of the Brewster story. Brewster was so good at his job the farmer was afaid he'd do himself or the hens some harm but ol' Brewster kept plugging away. Then one day the farmer saw some buzzards circling. He approched the coop to find Brewster sprawled out in the yard not moving. "Oh Brewster I told you to slow down! Now the buzzards are circling." Brewster winked and whispered "shhh, they're getting closer."
I give IAFF instant comments about a half hour before they go off the deep end. There's just no way the kind of people that have been being moderated won't show just how sick they can get.
I need to call my publisher for several HOURS?
Is his publisher writing the book by dictation? WTF?
Anyone remember me from famous teen 80's movie '16 candle'? Me like big american breast!
Overheard at a certain campsite at an undisclosed secure location at Lake Tahoe.
"Casey, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"I think so, Nigel, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour?"
"Nigel, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"Umm, I think so, Casey, my love, but what if the chicken won't wear the nylons?"
TK,
Dictation seems appropriate on a certain level.

Long Duck Dong,
Unfortunately I do, but although I like vintage crap, I try to block out most of the '80's.
Someone at the office said that hawks mate for life and that those out the window were building nests in the trees together. Perhaps that explains why they seemed so much more dignified than those crazy ducks Steph mentioned. I haven't had a chance to verify the facts, but I believe they're red-shouldered hawks. Earlier in the year I saw one seize a starling.
Akubi
I need to spend several hours on the phone translates to: "Galina isn't here to ride my ass for being lazy, so it's Nap Time!
I'm surprised he trusts people to behave themselves. However I'm also surprised what a slow trickle the comments are. They wont get really bad until his guard is down.
TK,
He knows what's going to happen....he's setting up the next "fit-a-thon". All he's got left is drama, and he has to create it.
Casey's audience ranges from the slightly curious to professional Haterz(tm); but they all have one thing in common....watching the slow motion train wreck.
TK,
Perhaps I have a rather sick mind but I was thinking dick-tation...Probably had something to do with the duck talk.
BTW, for those wishing to send "dirty pennies" to Casey, without spending any money, use the oldie but goodie trick:
Switch the return address and the "To:" address on the envelope, and don't put a stamp on it. The post office will return it, to your intended recipient, "for insufficient postage".
Again, not aware of the legality of this, although it does work -- I used to communicate through the mail with a friend of mine like this, back in the early 1990s (we were around 12 yrs old, give us a break!!)
Now now Akubi,
You know Nigel gets jealous when he thinks that Casey might be doing dicktation with anyone other than he...
Benoit,
I like any effort which creates a severe hassle and forces him to spend money.
I'd send him 15 pizzas and a 12 foot sub, but I'd hate for the pizza place to take the loss. The postage idea is great. Make sure you don't use your real address!
Caseyland is a terrible bore even with unmoderated comments. Blah.
Amazing. Snowflake didn't delete Trampolina's comments.

Casey says he's gone to Lake Tahoe to "brainstorm."
Who went with him?
We know it's not Nigel - the grey matter between both Casey and Nigel's ears do not amount to a brain.
It really is dead over there. I feel like I shot my wad last time and don't have anything else to say.
How long will it be until Casey tells us that he was abused as a child and that is why he is the way he is????
Yes - Casey borrowed money for rent. From Galina's parents. It is for Galina to stay and live at her sister's home.
Casey was forced to move out....
Just wait....
Hey flailing
I hope that online chat thing with Nigey poo is for real, one of my eyelashes fell out and I wanted to know what HE does to prevent hair loss.
I also wanted to get some investment tips from him, or at worst, a lead on an SLC house or olympic pin.
"But I’m getting VERY VERY sick of all this borrowing. The jobs I have been doing are obviously not bringing in enough to stay afloat. So that’s what my trip is all about. To get focused and put together an action plan."
He has to "focus" and make an "action plan" so that he can think about doing some actual work. But only if he can still have plenty of time to work on his book and other sweeet dealz.
Prediction: KC's trip to Tahoe will result in the following tangibles, at best:
1) An "action plan" that consists of a few paragraphs which rehash things he has already said, with lots of smoke and mirrors about monetizing and consulting, which will then be posted to his blog, and
2) Unspecified "progress" on his book.

"Yes - Casey borrowed money for rent. From Galina's parents. It is for Galina to stay and live at her sister's home.

Is that a fact or just a highly probably guess?
It's a good thing I'm nowhere near Sacramento or Lake Tahoe, cause I'd be really tempted to put a 2 or 3 bucks worth of pennies in a tube sock and let him have it.
I know, I'm going to Hell. I've reserved a window seat on the handbasket.

I just got an email from Casey asking if I was still interested in helping to moderate IAFF (I had volunteered back in January):
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!

I'm going to have to decline. I very seldom visit IAFF itself anymore and the Casey saga is rapidly approaching its inevitable end. I also suspect that my idea of "edgy" would not jive with his.
Also, it seems to me that what he's really looking for are a couple of blog narcs, not real moderators to help manage the comments.
I think that I'll have to pass.
Or in Casey-speak: "No Deal!"
Flail, I know what you mean. I am only motivated to get that coveted #1 ranking and to junk up The soon to be #1 ranked Foreclosure Avoiders Site on the 'Net with more useless web widgets than Nigel Swaby himself.
My aunt is on her honeymoon in Tahoe right now, I wish she cared enough for me to ask her to pay him a little visit in the spirit of Steph's steel toed shoes. That boy needs a swift kick in the behind to jolt him back to reality.
Uh, Casey, i hate to tell you but there are many of us who kept registering when you were on your blogcation.
I have about 10 accounts waiting for (ab)use.
I think the one time casey "instant comment abusathon" was fun for the one night, a night of complete anarchy.
It's not fun now.
My instant commenting at IAFF has been revoked until I pay a "donation" of at least $10. What a jerk.
Stephanie J. sent Project SCOBY Doo a curve ball with the Duck factor and we're at a loss. Please provide suggestions in the comments while we take a TM & tea break.
hmmm I closed my window and opened a new one and I have instant moderation again. very weird.
One last comment before meditationg on ducks and donuts...
Nigel's Guest Blogger and Flailing Forward: I suspect the (supposedly) real Nigel's main Google lead is in lower case. Perhaps some "foreclosure avoiders" posts/text/labels might change that...
One more thing: typos like "forclosure avoiders" still go to the Nigester's place.
I am still 100% convinced about my theory on Snowflake and the coffee cans. What is this, the sixth time he's magically pulled thousands of dollars from his ass in days?
@ Legion
I'm pretty sure those chatboxes work, but if you send a message while he's offline, you'll never get a response. He's actually online for once right now though if you want to chat it up.
@ Akubi
I didn't realize google is case-sensitive.
Sorry about the multiple post but this really made me vomit.
Note: your comment will be held back for moderation and will not appear right away.
To be considered for instant comments please register and login. If your comments are respectful / constructive I will upgrade your account to talk freely (as time allows).
To expedite the approval process you can "bribe" me with a donation of $10 or more via PayPal. Use the DONATE button in the sidebar to pay securely with a credit card. Donations will be used toward building this into a foreclosure help site and help me pay off my debt.

Is this even legal. Somebody please cache this before Snowflake deletes it. At a minimum, the IRS, FCC, USPS, Mr. Blip and Co. need to be notified.
"I am still 100% convinced about my theory on Snowflake and the coffee cans. What is this, the sixth time he's magically pulled thousands of dollars from his ass in days?"
Until evidence is provided to the contrary, I think that the most likely explanation is that he (or Galina) received it from one of their parents.
Snowflake's just not self-disciplined enough to squirrel away money, IMHO.
kerriella: Perhaps everybody got logged out. I got logged out and had to login again to get instant posting back.
akubi and flailing forward: Google is not case-sensitive. Putting double quotes around a pair of words means google matches only URLs where those words appear in that sequence.
So type foreclosure avoiders into google and you get all sites containing both words. Nigel's site is murst, and Casey's site is serind.
Type "foreclosure avoiders" into google and now Casey's site droops down to a limp 4th place.
"Is this even legal. Somebody please cache this before Snowflake deletes it. At a minimum, the IRS, FCC, USPS, Mr. Blip and Co. need to be notified."
If law enforcement can't be bothered to investigate mortgage fraud of $2.2M, what makes you think that they'll care about Snowflake raising a few hundred bucks (absolute most) on IAFF?
But seriously, I'm not sure that I understand exactly what crime you think is being committed here.
The IRS won't care, as a donation of $10 falls far, far short of an individual's annual gift tax exemption. In addition, the $10 falls well short of reporting requirements for 1099 (if one considers expedited registration to be a service).
I don't see where the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has a jurisdictional interest in IAFF.
Likewise, no mail fraud is being committed, so I fail to see why the USPS would be interested.
Now, Cash Call and Casey's other creditors have an interest in discovering any potential sources of income for Casey. But again, the dollars involved just don't warrant any special attention. If he ever succeeds at monetizing the blog to produce a consistent positive cash flow of several hundred or more a month, then they might take an interest. But I suspect that the crumbs are just too small to attract any collection agency at this point. And the one thing that Casey has demonstrated a reliability for is failing to profit from even the most obvious opportunities.
Right now, Casey's at the same level as a bum who washes your windshield with dirty water at a stoplight. Just ignore his half-hearted attempts to elicit sympathy from his pathetic attempts to provide a worthless (and unwelcome) "service".
I'm still convinced its 1000% a fabrication, just more lies, lies and damned lies.
I see no point in calling the authorities anymore, for anything past the houses, as there's no proof to any of it, except what Casey says.
He's a known liar. Sorry, I'm not getting fooled again.
Anon 10:18,
I agree there is some serious MENDACITY and fiction involved these days - and anyone could write Casey "stuff" at this point. Nonetheless, it is entertaining.
Further thoughts on geocaching: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2007/05/dayintech_0503
what do you bet that while casey's pulling lint from his belly button, Yulia's having a "kitchen chat" with her sister?
"what do you bet that while casey's pulling lint from his belly button, Yulia's having a "kitchen chat" with her sister?"
I'm sure that the decision to leave him has been made. The trick for Galina is to maneuver through the legal minefield that might lie ahead if/when Casey ever faces legal action (particularly criminal). If they ever are charged, her best bet to escape jail and/or fines is to have Casey fall on the sword with a plea agreement.
While I suspect that Casey would ultimately seek to minimize his own sentence regardless of the consequences to Galina, her only shot at securing Casey's help is if they are still on good terms when the shit hits the fan. Unless she can provide very incriminating information on the mechanisms of his schemes.
Since his "real estate empire" collapsed last August, Casey's primary goals should have simply been to; a) stay out of jail; and b) save his marriage. Everything else should be a secondary concern. Due to his actions, I'm not sure if either objective is attainable at this point.
This summer could be an interesting display of a real life Prisoner's Dilemma. Somehow, I suspect that Casey will wind up the clear "looser" in such a matchup.
Just come back to this and there's 300+ comments on IAFF. When I checked previously there were 8 or 9. I have gone off looking into the mental illness possibilities and I am now convinced that he borrowed the money out of the corporation and that the guy needs psychiatric help. This was one of the first things I found with a Google (my edits have cut it down and cut out a few bits):
Bipolar disorder is an illness that affects thoughts, feelings, perceptions and behaviour .…. (While we're at it, let's be clear about something: a mental illness is one that affects the mind, not one that's all in the mind.)
Most often, a person with manic-depression experiences moods that shift from high to low and back again in varying degrees of severity. The two poles of bipolar disorder are mania and depression. This is the least complicated form of the illness.
Depression might be identified by(incomplete and edited list):
· Refusing to get out of bed for days on end
· Sleeping much more than usual
· Being tired all the time but unable to sleep
· Paying no attention to daily responsibilities
· Becoming unable to make simple decisions
Mania might include(incomplete and edited list):
· Feeling like you can do anything, even something……illegal
· Needing very little sleep, yet never feeling tired
· Dressing flamboyantly, spending money extravagantly, living recklessly
· Experiencing…..delusions
· Feeling filled with energy
Some people think that they are just "over their depression" when they become manic, and don't realize this exaggerated state is part of the illness - part of bipolar disorder. A person who has depression and mania is said to have Bipolar I.
Now if that isn't CS's situation I don't know what is. There was a post on a "narcissistic" variant on this problem and that rings true as well.
Just thought I'd find it and save it in case it gets removed:
Diagnostic criteria for 301.81 Narcissistic Personality Disorder
(cautionary statement)
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
(3) believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
(4) requires excessive admiration
(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
Though individuals with NPD are often ambitious and capable, the inability to tolerate setbacks, disagreements or criticism, along with lack of empathy, make it difficult for such individuals to work cooperatively with others or to maintain long-term professional achievements [10]. With narcissistic personality disorder, the person’s perceived fantastic grandiosity, often coupled with a hypomanic mood, is typically not commensurate with his or her real accomplishments.
The interpersonal relationships of patients with NPD are typically impaired due to the individual’s lack of empathy, disregard for others, exploitativeness, sense of entitlement, and constant need for attention. They frequently select as mates, and engender in their children, “co-narcissism,” which is a term coined to refer to a co-dependent personality style similar to co-alcoholism and co-dependency [8]. Co-narcissists organize themselves around the needs of others. They feel responsible for others, accept blame readily, are eager to please, defer to other’s opinions, and fear being considered selfish if they act assertively.

It also crossed my mind that such people are perfect fodder for scamming guru types.
appraised at 400k got 330k. Although I doubt she would have got 390k last spring for the condo. so lets say she could have gotten 380k last year. it went down by a little over 13%. article also mentions further out places suffering more. she will be thankful for that 330k when she sees what places are going for in another year.

Speaking of Snowflakes
I ran across this at Etsy

Dude @6:36: LOL, literally.
This is a strictly hypothetical scenario.
If an EN member could be a moderator for IAFF, would you do it?
Ugh. I fucking hate hate hate Microsoft. Hate, not haterz. As you know, two very different meanings.
Admittedly, I'm also a Mac haterz. Well ok, I don't hate Mac machines or OS, I just haterz Mac cheerleaderz and Mac prices. And I don't hate Windows so much, because XP is ok and pretty reliable, but I absolutely to the core of my being hate Microsoft's guts.
Windows Automatic Updates just tried to get me to install Windows Genuine Advantage Notification. The message was something along the lines of "This program is part of Microsoft's ongoing efforts to cut down on software piracy. If your copy of Windows is not genuine, it will periodically notify you of this and suggest steps you can take to remedy the situation."
Who would freaking install this crap? If you're running a bootleg copy, you won't, and if your copy is legit (mine is) you get treated like a criminal and get this pointless update shoved down your throat. Microsoft and the RIAA, birds of a feather. The nerds need to hurry up and make Linux less of a nerd clusterfuck so that the world can say goodbye to Microsoft and Apple forever.
Just realised IAFF has Yahoo ads on the top now>
Speaking of ads, does anybody know whether when using adblock or something similar, does your visit still count toward a site's CPM revenue? I guess what I'm asking is does the browser download the ads and just not display them, or does it run every url through its filter list first and not download accordingly. I'm guessing the latter, but just want to make sure.
It's very telling as far as what questions Casey chooses to answer. He finally answered on Prestwich, which I appreciate, but from the same comment he ignored Hammar and where the begathon money went. We all know Hammar is his, I just want him to confirm it and say whether local rich dad is involved. He obviously doesn't want to reveal what he blew the begathon money on. Several people asked about that. I wonder if he really has spun off into milk the story as long as he can mode and is making stuff up now.
@ r-boy
I wouldn't mod unless there were a lot of others helping out and he laid out some ground rules. No way in hell I would be one of two mods.
Re:
>>Windows Automatic Updates just tried to get me to install Windows Genuine Advantage Notification.<<
Man, you gotta turn off WGA. I never run updates from MS. Every few weeks or months, I grab a pack of critical fixes from nefarious "third party" sites and install them after they've been vetted by the underground tinkerer community. I bought XP but I run a custom warez copy (take your pick of the dozens online) that's preconfigured to grant more control to the user and never requires validation by MS.
As for casey and the POWER DISDAINERZ™ scene here at EN, I fear I may never catch up. As I look back over the quantity of Dawgposts and replies piling up over the last couple of days, I realize that SerinSpiralCountdown™ watching may have become a hobby as time-consuming and productive as painting accurate retinal patterns on the backs of the eyeballs of N-scale model railroad guys. Maybe as the SerinSaga™ winds down, someone will synopsize the best of the H@†0®z™ essays from here and elswhere into a READERS' DIGEST version.
Eh-heh-hehm!
If I may, let me pull this thread back to feathered fowl and combine it with housing.
Yes, the Peabody ducks are cute but once upon a time in a land far, far away I had a large colony of weaver birds on the property.
I would watch the male birds work so hard to build a hanging nest. The female would then come to inspect it. If she didn't like she would snip away until it crashed to the earth. the poor male bird would then start all over again. And again. and again.
Poor things.
Eventually all males succeeded in their efforts to "flip" so I can't really draw a Galina/Casey comparison but you can see some similarites to the US housing market, non? And of course, marriage or dating women in general. ;).
And of course, marriage or dating women in general. ;).
You just reminded me of the Barbie doll joke:
Man goes to buy Barbie doll and salesgirl says there's 5 types
Blonde Barbie $29.99
Black Barbie $29.99
Redheaded Barbie $29.99
Brown Haired Barbie £29.99
Divorced Barbie $249.99
The man says "What $249.99? What do you get with that?"
The salesgirl says "Barbie doll, Ken's house, ken's car......"
barbie doll....nice
New Barbie 2.0 is also an mp3 player. Where's the receptacle to plug the earphone jack located?......
Barbie v2.0
I think it will have multiple receptacles for group mp3 enjoyment. You will be able to plug in up to three jacks.....
Oh and the Dude....I know why you are lurking around here so early!!!
FORGET IT!! You will not be first OR murst....
Come on Dawg, bring it on !
Casey has a Nigey Poo receptacle, does that make him a barbie doll?
@ Casey Fannnn
Here's the wrapup:
Casey came up with the money to pay Yulia. He then went to Tahoe to brainstorm, couldn't get a plug in to work, and now wants you to pay $10 for the privilege of instant comments. That is all.
The most excitement this week has been Jeff from SDCIA puking in the shower.
Re:
>>Here's the wrapup<<
Thanks. Sounds juicy. I hope to find the spare time soon to go over every last witty EN utterance created in response to the wispy lad's big adventures. I'll "try" to find time. I'll meditate about it and reconnect with my coffee maker. I may fast while I'm sleeping to increase my abilities to formulate a plan to set aside the time to think about trying to begin the process of defining an agenda for the completion of the exploratory stages of an attempt to recognize areas which need fleshing out in order to more fully facilitate the indentification of issues standing in the way of the successful recognition of the steps necessary to approach my goal of attaining the ability to aw fuck it I'm bored now
Or you could just go to the nature.

Re: Postage scam.
My tweaker/tweeker sister-in-law does this with her Christmas cards. She also pockets sweeteners, creamers, condiments etc. from restaurants, steals toilet paper from public restrooms, hotels, etc, at any given chance, and will spend her time trawling your home with her eyes looking for things that you might be willing to give her for free.
She's pretty trashy.
Oh, and sorry for missing the ensuing hours of duck discussion after raising the subject. :)
