Let It Ride
Stephanie J posits that Tahoe was the nearest "skillz based" gambling place Casey could think of and that he went there to to bet whatever was left of his 1.3million shares of that worthless stock on "00". He has the personality for it. He is the type to believe in deus ex machina. Now wait, I didn't say he was either intelligent or educated enough to know about deus ex machina just that he was suseptible. Much like you can die of infection without a degree in biology. He was up, he could do no wrong, he bet the farm.

Dog, meet manger.
That's Dawg to you, mate.
Secondth.
Anyways, I have commentated extensively here and elsewhere on the mentality of gambling, and the "specuvestor" craze.
The same principles are involved in the get rich quick desires as they are when you are playing your favorite game in a casino.
I wouldn't put it past Casey to draw a casino line of credit somewhere and start playing high-stakes blackjack.
I guess he must have dipped into the corporate credit with his mention of a dedicated server. I guess if he puts in his office at Y's and puts his sites on it, it's a legit business expense.
No one claimed it, so I'll sneak in the back door, like Swab Nuts, and claim it. First.
I suspect that, much as to Casey "brainstorming" really means "moping alone in a hotel room", "dedicated server" really means "getting off HeeKee's server onto some cheapass hosting".
Specifically: watch the status bar when you load iamfacingforeclosure.com. I see a couple of hits to sedbox2.com.
sedbox2.com brings up a web host member login panel.
A quick google for sedbox2 turns up Budget Hosting 4 U. Casey's "dedicated server"? $5 a month. Sweet.
Why is Casey's site saying suspended all of a sudden?
Also, you do know that the stock entry was an April fools' joke right? Yeah I know a fool post from a fool, but still.
Casey wouldn't need to go all the way to Tahoe to gamble; he has Thunder Valley half an hour's drive away, and he could even pick up the mail in Roseville along the way.
I suspect he went to Tahoe for a wistful recollection of the stamping grounds that he and Galina used to share. (Didn't he reveal that they lived there for 6 months after they got married?) This time, he's alone.
Who knows, maybe he will win - when i was in Tahoe for Spring Break in 2005, i was up 200 bucks playing blackjack and quit while i was ahead!
Can Casey quit while he is ahead? I doubt it.
Stephanie,
You have beautiful eyes.
Just outside reno, there are some
places where Galina could make $$$ per hour. Lying on her back no less.
Wildhorse and mustang ranch are both hiring.
oh, I would have to visit if Galina showed up. Of course, if galina has a set of lungs like Queen Sarah, I'm sure Casey would hear it in Sac-town.

You know, with all this talk of Tahoe, I'm starting to crave a nice weekend in the country. Anybody up for an EN Tahoe party?
Sprezz, i saw in those casey pics what looked like snow. I have been itching to go boarding. If i lived closer, i would totally do that.
roll those dice on the craps table - "galina needs a new pair of shoes!"
SEVENS!
Actually, this has been a really crappy season for snow in Tahoe. It's so bad that there's a real possibility of wather shortages this summer in NorCal.
Duck update: I just happened to notice that the Duck Genitalia NYT article is the 4th most blogged. Apparently ExUrbs aren't the only ones intrigued with duck dicks.

Are they pointing and laughing?
Apparently, the dedicated server is totally awesome and stuff.

No - we don't know that. That post remains very much open to interpretation.
Also - please pick a name (click "Other" and make up one. tnx)

What could possibly be more depressing than staring out the window of a dumpy hotel you can't afford at gray miserable weather thinking about the good times you had with your beautiful wife before you went and ruined their lives with your relentless stupidity and got evicted by your sister-in-law?
I'm amazed he came back alive. Really, this sounded like a trip he didn't plan to return from.
Title of the landing page:
"Congratulations! You have successfully set up your website!"

Thats the story of KC's life: "Congratulations you avoided one foreclosure. Sorry to tell you, you where foreclosed on 5 others and are deeply in the hole."
MURST!!!!
HAHAHAHA! Damn, you people are falling down on the job!
Hi Guys:
It's all good - stop hounding me for this little biz trip I took...
First, it didn't cost much:
Gas: $26
Hotel: $110 plus tax
Meals: $100
Gift: $25 (gotta take Galina something)
See, for less than $300 I've invested in great productivity for the next five hours -- opps, five weeks.
The latest post shows up on the RSS feed but 404s:
"#6 Foreclosure Search on Google, Talking Foreclosure Book"
The RSS cache shows:
And it’s organic! Don’t have to pay a penny (dirty or not). Now I just have to do something good with it. Like figure out if people are looking for how to stop foreclosure, or to research foreclosure process/laws or to buy foreclosures. Probably a mixture of all of those. So [...]
"Really, this sounded like a trip he didn't plan to return from."
I still don't think he's going back. In fact, I somewhat think he's left the country and Galina and Yulia have been decomposing in the house the last few days.
I see Steph rode her jeep to Tahoe and finally caught up with snowflake:

@ Rob Dawg:
So I couldn't resist, and I GIS'd for ugly pleather. Curiosity killed the caveman, and all that.
The image you speak of shows up even with SafeSearch on. Honestly though, if that horrified you, you must not have been on the Internet long. From your description I was expecting something more on the level of a Members Only clad Goatse guy, or maybe Nigel pulling a Tubgirl.
(For those who can't help forming a mental image, my sincere apologies. If you have some mind bleach handy, follow the package directions. Otherwise, take 3oz Luksusowa or best available substitute every hour until the convulsions stop. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery.)
Curiosity killed the caveman, and all that.
Now you've done it. No one will be able resist "peaking" at that abomination in pleather. I hope you made enough mind bleach for all of us. X-)
Unlimited supply of mind bleach: http://kittenwar.com/
can i bribe you for the next first post?
@Beguiled,
Thank you. :)
I never even noticed this thread until now. LOL
