The really scary smartz™ people at Calculated Risk are usually far too classy for the likes of me but the other day I got fed up with all the euphisms and doubletalk surrounding the credit upheaval we are just entering. Anyway I suggested we make up a drinking game. How many people are of the right age (old enough) to remember "Hi, Bob" from college? Everytime someone on the Bob Newhart Show said those words you had to drink. Other acts of debauchery were associated with any number of other predictable acts. Problem is I played too much and can't remember much. Okay, so what are the rulez™ and codewordz™? The one that got me started was "contagion" as in "The sub-prime contagion is contained." That deserves a single swallow don't you think? If that's the case what is required for the word "tsuami?" "Meltdown?" "Risk adjusted basis?"

Dawg,
I'm concerned this thread may invite some unintentional trolling. Or maybe you just don't care and in that case I tip my hat.
Murst Dammit!
New drinking game. Watch the flipper shows and every time they say the words granite, added value, curb appeal, stainless steel, appreciation, and others, I can't remember them all, you have to take a drink and shout "bling!". I guarantee you can't get through a half hour program sober. (Add catch words as needed.)
I like mort's drinking game better.
Mort,
I never understood "tidy profit." If I had a profit I'd rather it were a big old fat slobbery all over the place behemouth of a profit. I'd want to need to attach a trailer to my BMW to haul it away, not some tidy little thing I could stick in my murse.
I don't think the Bob Newhart show made it to the UK, but I do remember the great monologues like Defusing a Bomb and the Driving Instructor. Every line was crafted to be funny, a very clever man.
Back to the subject, are we allowed phrases like the classic "it's different this time"? Otherwise I suggest:
Paradigm
the rather British "soft-landing" unless that gets used over there too.
Plateau
Cooling
Retrenchment

Yeah, I know what you mean. That reminds me, "sweat equity", that's a double. It fits nicely in a murse too. ;)
Oh ye of the dampened dangling parts Arthur. We are up to our naughty bits deep in "soft-landing."
Pause
Correction

As to the flippers show variation I think the correct phrase to shout out is "pergraniteel!" And yes before we get deluged, any of the IAFF anti-spam words would wrok as well.
we'll all be blotto by noon
wait...did I imply that would be bad?
Free up you equity and put to work! == Drain your glass.

You might be but I'm 8 hours ahead of you. I've already spent this afternoon at a basketball hall.
"levelling out"
As for "tidy profit" stockbrokers and the like here also use the wonderful phrase "trousered" (meaning the figurative stuffing of money in their trouser pockets)

"negative equity"
ff - that product needs a catchier name for marketing purposes. Like Swabyon
Here's a massive compendium of TV/movie drinking games. I loved the Antiques Roadshow version.
"Now that I know how much this blog is worth I won't be using it for cheap laughs anymore!"
Wow, a This Old House drinking game. That's one I would have never thought of.
@ arthur
Swabyon would be more for the line of pleather polish. That way we could hire Pat Morita to say "Swabyon...Swabyoff!" (Except I think that he might be dead.)
ff - unfortunately yes, Mr Morita left us in 2005.
@ Mort:
You have to take a bonus drink if the "added value" given is for work that's known to add less value than it costs, such as kitchen & bathroom upgrades.
Also take a drink any time somebody buys a house sight unseen, has to unexpectedly replace an entire system (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc), gets shut down by the city inspector, puts reonvation costs on a credit card, or talks about how the stress of the flip is impacting their marriage.
If you can still sit up enough to reach the bottle, take a drink any time they state the flipper's "projected profit" without waiting around to see if the house actually sells.
Hi back FMW!

Projected profit, yeah that's a double.
Someone has issues. Sorry for the interruption. As soon as whatever is twisting the poor thing stops torturing its demented mind... I say mind because saying soul is beyond the limits of even my expansive generousity.
It's a bit more serious than this sickos issues. Using a child's name on a blog like RCS has the distinct possibility of becoming the number one google search. My oh my I wonder if there any consequences to that? Oh, that's right lacking a soul and assuming anonymity allows the sicko to sleep at night. Not. No one is that sick.
Cote? Deleted posts? What\\\'s wrong? That\\\'s ok. People can go to RCS to find out what was deleted.
She\\\'s hardly a child Cote. She\\\'s sixteen. Probably eagerly anticipating her emancipation from such an oppressive father. She\\\'s counting down the days to freedom Bob. You know it, I know it, she knows it.
People can go to RCS to find out what was deleted.
Some will. Posting the names of underage children who you claim perform fellatio isn't something that's going to remain here regardless of Google or the persons in question. Get professional advice.
Robert,
Just cause your wife Theresa won\\\'t do it anymore doesn\\\'t mean you shouldn\\\'t coerce your daughter to do it.
She might get turned off by your walrus dick...
Fuck Cote. 4 deleted posts? Did I accidently stumble upon DHC?
Dawg,
Somebody is just begging to be "outed" to the authorities here.
Lock this cocksucker down.
RCS
I THINK THAT POSTING THE INFORMATION OF A MINOR IS INDEFENSIBLE BEHAVIOR>
PERHAPS THE FBI SHOULD PAY YOU A VISIT FOR YOUR PREDATORY WAYS.
WHERE CHRIS HANSON WHEN YOU NEED HIM?
I hate when this sh!t happens on weekends when the after-hours charges apply and will come straight out of the settlement.
RCS, you're a mega-douche. If you've got a problem with Rob, it's between you and him. Leave his family out of it, especially underage minors. What a tremendous pussy you are.
Dawg,
Some people just aren't that bright are they? This guy is a shining beacon of intelligence - makes Nigel and Casey look like Nobel Prize winners.
She might get turned off by your walrus dick...
Wow, talk about uneducated AND stupid. Best of all a great funny man beat us to it.
Dawg...
Jesus.
You know what would be really interesting? If anon actually thought they were on the side of good or justice or freedom of expression. If that were the case they'd have no problem revealing themselves. The very necessity of anonymity puts them on the side of evil and lies.
Who do people like this think they hurt? "Hey, if I [inexpertly] cover my tracks I can say illegal things about underage children and the results will either punish the bad or reward the righteous." Itsallgood. If it isn't true it doesn't matter. All that remains is for the beacon of truth and light to step into the light.
tk,
"Jesus wept" at the prospect of human suffering.
All that remains is for the beacon of truth and light to step into the light.
Here I\\\'m blinded by the homophobia, racism, classism and stupidity. Indeed, a light would be a welcome prospect.
If everyone can just "Flag this Blog" on the RCS site, that post can be removed if enough people object to posting a minor's phone number on a web site.
Hey;
Poster with the children issues:
You might wanna google Deborah Frisch" or "Deb Frisch"...
See what happenned to her life when she dragged someone's kid into an internet pissing match.
Take some advice, chum, delete the posts and apologize sincerely and nicely, and then STFU.
That's studiedly neutral and reasoned advice.
Don't toss peoples' kids into where they don't belong. Whatever your issue is with Cote, it does not involve in his offspring.
Now do as I say, or you might find that you will have people on you like hounds on a fox.
Filing lawsuits, calling authorities, calling your employer...it gets ugly, and no-one to pity you.
Almost a year has gone by for Frisch, and there's still an entire community of people on "FrischWatch".
If everyone can just "Flag this Blog" on the RCS site, that post can be removed if enough people object to posting a minor's phone number on a web site.
Nope. unfortunately my advice tells me that Google doe not ever respond to the flag tag. It may even use that to reverse tag potential troublemakers.
Anon,
Then leave. Seems pretty simple to me. Craigslist Rants, CI, FFC all have ten times as much homophobia, 100 times more racism and a thousand times more classism than EN ever had. Do you crusade there as well?
I see you think you're above everyone here and yet you ARE here acting the part of all that you supposedly stand against. I guess commenter "John" on DHC has it right - in order to be heard on the internet, one has to become what they supposedly despise. Nigel has hereby been heard. Unfortunately if you want to be heard, you're going to have to establish a little credibility - even Nigel rails against those that hide behind a cloak of anonymity. Too bad his one fan has done just that.
I saw this posted to another blog the yesterday. It's a pretty convincing argument that now is not the best of times to buy a house:
Housing Price Rollercoaster
Now that Casey is finished, all we're really left with is the EN/Nigel blogwar plus the occasional shots over the wall from the CI crowd. I suppose it was inevitable, but it's still sad. Blogwars are boring at best and downright nasty at worst. This one keeps leaning toward nasty.
Kinda makes a guy want to move on to greener pastures.
I was kind of hoping Jeff from SDCIA would barf his way back into our hearts. We may have to admit that there may never be another trainwreck quite like Casey.

"Now that Casey is finished..."
Say it isn't so, Ogg!
There's still plenty of clean, downhome entertainment left in Cargo Cult Casey™'s willful disengagement from realty. We've got the prime tenderloin of the Utah wrap; the marital angst; the frosty SIL; and of course the mystery of the Corporate credit thingy and the GSPG trade.
@ francisco d:
Thanks. I'd forgottn about those aspects. You have to admit though, the Serin saga lost a certain je ne sais qua when he ran out of houses. Maybe it's that he somehow seems to be playing with lower stakes -- although that's not so, his family is far higher stakes than some two-bit fake RE empire. Maybe it's the opposite. Maybe it's just not as much fun to watch a guy inflict real, lifelong pain on himself as to watch borrowed dreams collapse. I enjoyed watching him be hoisted by his own petard, but I don't know if I can take the same pleasure in watching him run his marriage into the ground.
Or maybe Casey himself is just not as entertaining now as when he was flying high, denying reality, shaking his fist in the faces of his Haterz� and declaring that his latest real estate "education" or mentoring scheme or corporate credit thingy would turn the whole situation around.
I'll continue to follow EN and the various satellite blogs, but no matter how I feel about the whole situation I'll be spending a little less time in the Caseysphere. The weather has finally turned, it's nice out in the Big Blue Room, and there are miles and miles of local singletrack that aren't going to ride themselves.
The blogwars do bore the shit out of me though, seriously.
Sorry about the formatting. Blogger sucks.
Ogg the Caveman said...
"Now that Casey is finished..."
Over? It's not over till Casey says it's over. And when it is, it will look something like this:
End Game
There's still entertainment value in Casey, but not anywhere near what there was. What made him interesting for me was that he was someone who was facing larger problems than I have ever faced. Sure they were for the most part self-inflicted, but it was the magnitude of his woes and his behavior in the face of his impending doom that made his story compelling. Whether you thought he was a victim, a liar, a naive kid, a lazy looser, a scammer, the underdog, or just a dumbass, regardless you didn't think he was just the run of the mill variety. This was the kid who while facing six imminent foreclosures was napping, blogging, and conducting juice fasts.
Now that that phase of his story is over, his problems are normal. He was an epic trainwreck; now he's mortal. Now it's just stuff like getting kicked out of his house, marital troubles, being broke. I've got friends who are perpetually going through that. Granted, the questions of whether he will get prosecuted and whether his debts get discharged are still interesting, but they're not going to keep people coming back every day. I can already feel the momentum of the story slowing down at the various sites.
Ogg has a point as Space Staion Serin plummets it is no longer ohhhh, wowwwwww but more of an OMG those poor idjits.
Thanks to all for the RCS counter comments. I'll post later about why I believe Nigel is involved.
YO YO YO ITS HOMEY TIME!!!
@ Rob Dawg,
Hey dawg, email me any information you have on these pricks that are posting this crap about your daughter, including any posts on EN or RCS. I will not visit the RCS, until they hear the knock on the door from some men in black suits.
I will be tied up in court until Wednesday or Thursday, but I will look into it as soon as I can and get back to you.
You have my email still?
PS. Do not think for one minute Serin is off the hook. The wheels grind slowly, but finely. I hear that some of the institutions he defrauded and various government agencies may be talking amongst each other as how to best proceed.
Love,
Homey
Ha, Vague Guru, that's freaking winwin!
I think the RCS blogwar is pretty lame, but I admit I do enjoy picking on Nigeypoo. It makes me giggle.
If nothing else, Nigel is fanning the flames.
YO HOMEY!!
Homey sighting! Thanks for the Serin update, btw.
@ anon 5:28 - about the real estate roller coaster show...
Yeah we saw that a few weeks ago. It's not an indication that it's time to buy now rather it's an excellent picture of how high prices got.
When the roller coaster plunges downward at 80mph and then bottoms out (sometime in the next 1-3 years) THEN it will be time to buy.
Not now. Buy low and sell when??
That's right. Not at the top. We're still very very high up.
Keep your credit clean and save up for multiple small down payments in '09.
For those of you missing Steph J, there's
sad news
I like the new more intelligible Homey.
Not to get all overly reflective on everybody or anything, but one of the main things that has kept me coming back is the crazy blog scene that surrounds IAFF. You guys have kept me laughing for months. There has always been some kind of tomfoolery afoot somewhere in the IAFF blogosphere. So...

Nice to see you again Homey
@flailing, nice pic with the Chia Nigey, but you know you put a little bit too much algae on him right? His noggin is like a barren wasteland, a blackhole devoid of all life and brain cells. You get the picture.
All this posting about various blogger's relatives performing unsavory acts...
... I'm waiting for the original poster to return and say, "And we call it 'The Aristocrats'!!"
;-)
As for the RCS posts, I'd get law enforcement involved, I think anybody with any decency would realize they crossed the line by 'outing' an innocent minor who has nothing to do with the blog wars. Either that Rob or just find out who they are and kick their asses, I know I'd set you free if I was on the jury.
As for those who will say Galina was innocent as well..WE ALL KNOW she isn't.
As for the RCS posts, I\\\'d get law enforcement involved,

@anon 9:06
Scurred?
Hey Robert Cote Sux guy:
I know you claim to be a thorn but guess what? You only have one fan and apparently his name is Nigel Swaby. Is Nigel Swaby approving of your methods? Sure he is. I know who you are. Just a little more bit of research and I will have you outted worse than you could know.
PLEASE keep posting. Oh and Nigel? Do you really want to throw your support to a guy like RCS? It's one thing to hate on the haterz (meaning you are jealous of the haterz - FYI) but to support a person that has taken this bullcrap to a new low speaks volumes about you.
Will I email you? No fucking way you idiot. I don't waste time conversing with closeminded ultra liberals who are hypocrites and hateful little trolls.
Fuck you Nigel Swaby and your new buddy too.
Tonight on Flip That Cave:
Thag gets what he thinks is a sweet deal on a below-market fixer-upper cave. Unfortunately the cave has a bad foundation, leaky plumbing, positively Paleolithic wiring, and termites. It's also in a shitty part of town where run-by spearings are a nightly occurence. Will granite floors, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood countertops increase the cave's value enough for Thag to turn a tidy profit? Or will the laborers he hired out of the local Cave Depot be the only winners?
Saw the post at RCS. What a scumbag but he is too much of a fucking pussy to out himself.
But then again, who's to say it isn't Nigel doing a really good acting job.
Too many similarities to Nigel's draconian ways. Even better is how Nigel POSTED this "email" because he knows we are on to him.
Fuck you Nigel. Rob - go get 'em. This kind of thing makes me sick. But then again, this asshole thought porno was a good attack.
The only pussy I see here is the anonymous scumbag who thinks he oh so clever.
Fuck you Nigel. I know it's you since I see a SLC IP in the log.
Guys,
Don't you find it odd that the anti-dawg posts are all timed around a user visiting from Salt Lake?
Odd. Nigel is the RCS guy and I think it's high time we call him on it.
Still catching up from being offline at the beach. From what I can gather so far, we’ve had the following:
Sickness – twisted RCS guy
Sadness -Stephanie’s Lucky Duck didn’t make it
Grooviness- HOMEY
Funniness –Flailing Forwards’ Swabco Scalp Algae System and Vague Guru’s Casey Rabbit Hole
Appropriateness-Aspeth’s “The Power of Negative Thinking”
Have I missed anything?
You'd think he'd be smart enough to hide his ip with a proxy..but then again, Nigel isn't a L33T web wiz like Casey (rolls eyes), and I'm sure the fumes from the rogaine dripping down his forehead is confusing him. Oh well, at least he isn't drinking the stuff anymore.
LOL Legion...don't you find it odd that this guy sends an email to Nigel (especially since that guy has to wonder if Nigel supports his cause of disgusting photos) then has to tell NIGEL he's not from SLC (strange!) and how he tells Nigel to keep up the good work.
Really fucking strange how this guy IS NOT Nigel. THEN Nigel is shown on the EN logs posting some stuff.
Too coincidental for my tastes but if I were a guy who likes to out minors like RCS as well as put up distasteful porn photos (and then PUSSY out and pull them down!) I would be hiding too.
RCS is FAGtastic!
Oh yes...Rob Dawg is FANtastic.
Dawg?
How much for an hour with your daughter Alexandra? No penetration, just oral. She sounds hot!!!!! A little baby walrus. I like \\\'em chunky.
Wow, words can't express how dumb that statement is.
I'd really like to understand why Nigel wants to be associated with that RCS scumbag? Further proof that Nigel rolls with hatred and generalizations. I would/could never do business with somebody who can't get past their own ego and realize that they are denigrating a whole group of people because of a few.
Scum. RCS and Nigel Swaby deserve each other. Too bad Nigel Swaby approves of posting images of minors without the consent of their parents. Too bad Nigel Swaby thinks it's okay to talk about raping a young girl.
Don't agree Nigel? Take down that jerk's email and post a retraction. It's one thing to hate the person who you perceive as your enemy it's quite another to break the law and hurt a minor.
Oh and to clarify the word rape...when you talk about having sex with a minor it's tantamount to rape under the law.
Fucking scum. Please Rob, let's go after this scumbag.
@Anon 9:52
Not odd at all, Nigel has always been kind of clumsy when it comes to executing a plan. He has outed himself unintentionally a few times, and he is just not that bright.
By the way anon 9:54, if you want them "chunky" go see Nigel, oh I forgot, you and him are the same person. Nigel must be going crazy always feelin glike an outsider looking in. By the way, more than likely Nigel was just standing outside the velvet ropes at all those VIP parties that he says he went to.
"C'mon bouncer, I've got someone named Lincoln who wants to make your acquaintance if you let me thru"
"Not with that green hair you got on you won't"
The irony of this RCS guy and Nigel Swaby (same guy most likely) is that they have this strange belief that they are crusaders. They can't understand the difference between criticism and negativity. Casey ellicits it all because he wants it. Why else blog about it nonstop?
I wish Nigel was smart enough to realize that not all the so-called Haterz are full of "hate."
I wish Nigel would realize that he is a fluke of the Universe, and that it is laughing behind his back...
He does forget:
Know what to kiss... and when!
He may have tried calling Ken though..
Nigel Swaby, who turns 37 in roughly three months, is still fully supported by his Mommy and Daddy. While other parents proudly say, "My son is a doctor" or "My son is an engineer", Mommy Swaby hangs her head in shame and says, "My son was a pin salesman and a failed mortgage broker who still lives at home. At age 36. Yay."
Swaby professes to be straight and married yet has produced no photograph (even a faked one!) of he and his wife, or of he and any woman for that matter. Swaby is likely the man who hangs around the playgrounds in Salt Lake ogling young boys. His blogger photograph is disturbing.
Why oh why does Nigel Swaby condone the outing of minors? Can somebody please explain this to the group?
Also could we make sure the world knows that Nigel Swaby likes associating with people who hurt others?
I guess Nigel will be finding out if negative traffic truly is good.
Can somebody let Nigel's boss know he supports the efforts of a poster who likes to break the law and post images of minors? Can we tell his boss that Nigel finds it perfectly okay that this RCS poster talks about having sex with a minor all in the name of hurting another human being.
Why is this okay or ethical. I am seriously pissed fellow Realists. Does Nigel realize he has awoken the sleeping lurkers?
By the way, Mr. Swaby's phone number given on his blog is a cellular telephone. Mister Swaby would, from this point forward, appreciate if his customers (pin buyers, mortgagees, male escorts, etc.) called him on his land line at home.
That number would be 801-265-7132.
Thank you, and have a great day.
Fcuking swaby's posted a pic of an AUSTRALIAN RE company sign (Elders - with a street sign from Adelaide) to support his flailing post trying to prop up SLC RE .... Good god he sucks.... That sort of sends the wrong message SWABY you stupid balding poofter.
FWIW, here's Blogger's Terms of Service and Content Policy. RCS clearly violates the Privacy and Hate Content clauses.
Here's Blogger's Contact Us form which includes an option for reporting ToS violations. Have at it.
(Oh, and let's not post Nigel's phone numbers etc -- that reduces us to cotesux's level.)
Well done Lawnmower - I've submitted a complaint based on the RCS being an attack / hate page on an individual.
I too have sent off a TOS complaint to blogger about the RCS site. Please, everyone do the same.
Yet again I check into this site and things have happened while I've been away.
Rob Dawg, I am sorry to hear about what has happened and hope that people's efforts in complaining about what has been done and that the relevant authorities take action against the perpetrator.
Nigel Swaby, I don't post on your site because I can't be bothered with creating a blogger account to let me do so. (Even if I wanted to). When I visit your site, your ads are blocked. You have gone from being a joke ("aspiring journalist" etc) to apparently either a schizophrenic or encouraging some other nutter to cross the line and engage in dubiously legal activity. The only way you can come out of this in a positive way is to remove the "email" post on your blog and co-operate with the authorities as far as tracing and dealing with this person.
I will also be filing a complaint against RCS. I agree with a lot of the posters here that it's one thing to attack the messenger but it's something sickening when you decide to out somebody's kids. In this day and age it's dangerous and quite uncalled for.
I'll file a complaint against RCS too, Nigel has crossed the line again.
I cannot wait 'til you West Coast peeps (Dawg) wake up and read Snowball's latest. The commentary should be side splitting, heehee.
Same looser time, same looser channel.......
I give RCS until about 3 o'clock Pacific before it's shut down. However I also suspect RCS guy will be back here full of hate. The real kind.
@ Ogg
I had no idea stone termites were such a problem. Too bad it will be about another 100,000 years before the Orkin Man evolves.

I can't get excited about Casey's haterzbait anymore. Even he can't be delusional enough to believe the stuff he posts these days. Casey Serin, Account Executive, operating from his corporate office, a commandeered Salavation Army drop box. Oy vey ^2.

So, if you are facing foreclosure and Casey can actually get his act together, you can sell your house to Casey at a price you never thought you'd achieve. Casey will be left "catching a falling knife". Whatever you do though, don't go for the sale and rent back option because your new landlord won't do any repairs and you'll be out again in a few months when he gets foreclosed again.
I don't know if that was a typo or not, but I like it. Casey Serin: intarweb conslutant.
Rob, I sent a complaint to google about RCS as well.
IAFF is still up for me, but for anyone who it isn't here's the latest post:
From Foreclosure to Success: 120 Days
Yesterday marked 120 days until my 25th birthday on September 10th. I like round dates and I like challenges. My 25th birthday is a big deal for me. I must have a turnaround story by then. I’m sick of not being able to pay my debts and all this financial instability. Because of it my marriage is seriously on the rocks…
Priorities:
1. Marriage - start counseling
2. Cashflow - control expenses and create stable income
3. Progress - focus on key opportunities and big deals

That’s a lot of great opportunities. I may or may not do them all. Part of the challenge is going to be focusing on the right opportunities and managing my time ruthlessly.
Creating stable income is the first order of business though - whether is a job or contract work (I prefer the latter).
It’s time for massive focused action…
"Recruit for Real Estate Investing College"? Sounds like "Sell the courses that ruined my life"
http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/CaseySerin/
Casey will likely do none of these things.
Even more interesting, check out C-net's Casey Serin, the internet's most hated blogger?
I’m sick of not being able to pay my debts and all this financial instability
I bet you don't even know your total debts at the moment. But let's guess they are about $200,000. And you are going to pay them off by September?
Hahahaha!
* Website/blog development and consulting - $50/hour+
This from a guy whose website is down a couple of days a month on average.
* Continue monetizing this foreclosure blog with advertising, sponsorships and affiliate commissions: $1,000-3,000/mo
I'll believe it when I see it. I guess it's barely $1000 at present.
* Review foreclosure related services and products: $250-500 per review
Why, what do you know about them? This reminds me of the comment that you should become a plumber because you can flush a toilet.
* Help people stop foreclosure by offering and/or referring consulting, loss mitigation, short sale assistance, buying their house, etc: $ varies
See previous post. I don't think you (Casey) realise how stupid this sounds.
* Recruit for real estate investing college and make 50% commission: typically $8,000 per sale
i.e. run an advert for one of the scaminars you went on.
* Create and sell book(s) and info products around my foreclosure story: $ varies
You deserve one paragraph in a revised version of "The Book of Heroic Failures"
* Work as an account executive with a commercial capital / brokerage firm on big deals 10 million and up: $50,000+ commissions/fees per deal
Let me guess. In order to do this you would need:
a college education
a network of contacts at the right level
serious motivation like working lots of hours, getting up early, working late
ability to do the detail work
NONE OF WHICH YOU HAVE.
Someone post a vacancy for such a job will you? I'd love to see the qualifications expected of the candidates.
* Invest in private equity funds: 24-60%+ returns
Again Hahahahaha! Now, let me think, er, there must be some reason why everyone doesn't do this? No, it will come to me, don't post the the answer......
Well, it looks like the basic strategy in terms of RCS worked - simply ignoring until the frustration grew to the boiling point.
As pointed out on Nigel's site, in the wave of revulsion that has followed the VA Tech shooting, anyone posting fictional work that shows a clearly disturbed state of mine (let us simply let the underaged sexual aspect go unnoted - though it certainly won't when the police and DA are involved - it makes getting a conviction easy) is likely to be under intense scrutiny.
Very intense scrutiny.
"As I spoke more with Casey, I had my first inkling of the gulf between his dreams and his powers."
Let's go through them item by item, shall we?
1. website/blog development and consulting ... not likely given his inability to keep his own website running;
2. monetizing the blog ... I wouldn't touch it. If anybody does pay for a link, we'll know.
3. Reviewing services & products ... for whom? People who are about to be foreclosed-upon? Or the vendors of such services? Who really thinks a recommendation from Casey "serial failure" Serin is worth a dime?
4. Helping people avoid foreclosure ... he couldn't help himself, how can he help others?
5. Recruiting for Real Estate investing college ... wow, the mind boggles. Casey wants to sell for the same crap-merchants who got him into this mess.
6. Write book(s) ... I'll believe it when I see it.
7. Account Executive ... in your dreams, Mr Serin. Unless "account executive" is some kind of euphemism for a Catcher, and the "commercial capital/brokerage firm" is Jail.
8. Investing in private equity ... Casey, it's not investing if you don't have any money of your own.
I see we've gone from "massive action" to "massive focused action". Perhaps the Tahoe trip was "massive action" and that didn't go down too well with Galina. Now it's got to be focused ...
The train wreck continues, peoplez. Casey hasn't reached the bottom yet.
this is a good read.

Yes, "conslutant" was a spelling error, but I think I quite like it.
Check out the shirt, blue ball'n'murst, and murst'n'Jamba Juice.
Juicy quote from the CNet article:
One example he gave is that he learned, through his blog, of a $1.5 billion Las Vegas casino for sale. If he can find a buyer, Serin says, he'd get a 1 percent commission ($15 million) for his trouble. "Doesn't that make more sense than a W-2 job?" he said.
Myself, I have recently brokered the sale of a Las Vegas Casino for $2 billion at 2% commission, so yes, it does make sense.
Yeah, I've been known to birddog a sweet multi-billion casino or two as well. Usually I'm too busy flipping palaces, temples, and small nations though.
All I can say about those photos is that there's probably going to be a photoshopping frenzy. Anyone care to speculate on why you would need to wear your murse at your desk? It's official though, the little fucker's definitely trolling us. All I can say is itsallgood.
Shout out to the haterz celebs Keith (HP), Rob Dawg, Aspeth, Casey Fannn, and Vague Guru! Take a bow.
Kudos to Flailing for the Cnet link.....damn, that pretty well sums it up!
the account executive thing is likely a hater troll.
Seriously, no company would put a deal worth million in someone's hands who is massively in debt.
With that kind of debt, snowflake could not get even the lowest level security clearance...
I have a few cases here, but afterwards, I think its time for me to get some datawork together and call up Agent Justin again. We've had a few nice conversations
Interesting part in that link ff:
During a visit to the same Jamba Juice on Thursday, Serin asked the cashier whether any jobs were available. But, thinking of how much time he spends every day working on his blog, he added: "Can I keep my laptop back there while I'm at work?"
He left without taking an application.
My bold. As was always suspected he's addicted to blogging and allergic to work.
Casey, if you want to keep blogging and earn some money from ads on your site fine, but don't tell me you know about RE, foreclosure, investing etc. because all you have done is experience getting it wrong or be on the receiving end.
Is IAFF down for anyone else?
allrite, so he's making money off of us, the haters.
Yeah...not anymore. let's just copy and paste here. Not from me at least.
Kudos really goes to Aspeth, that's where I found it. And IAFF is down for me now too.
I would just like to point out that none of Nigel's 2759 award-winning blogs got a single mention in the C-net article. HATERZ WINNZ!!
Is IAFF down for anyone else?
It is for me. Maybe ff is using IP addresses and Unix or something...too techie for me.
No - he's back up with new post about his wonderful future.
IAFF is not up. The CNET article goes up, but all the links to his site are returning "page not found"s. All of the "hater" links work, of course. And no reference to the "supporter" site?
Yes, the "haters" definitely win this round of the blogwars.
The site's up but his DNS is screwed, your browser / OS / router probably has the IP address cached, so you can still access the page. If your browser has to look up IAFF afresh, it won't be able to find it.
Christ, I just noticed I wrote "murst" when I meant to write "murse", back up there.
For any Smithosity fans (SDCIA) out there, here's a good quote:
"Going back to gas, I'll say that I believe that while global warming may exist, it is NOT man-made and that the Gore-lead movement is a front for communism."
He's busting out the blue super-sass font even as I speak.
The fact that a legit news site directly links to the Casey Serin Dance Remix is amazing. Keep on Hatin!
Wow, that casino quote sums up his whole situation. Snowtard is so star struck that he honestly believes he could broker a multi-billion dollar sale. WOW. He should really get into all this M&A going on...I see a future in investment banking...
"nor buying a $600 video camera on credit to document life experiences for his blog."
Another GOLD NUGGET from the CNET article.
@flailing: I would just like to point out that none of Nigel's 2759 award-winning blogs got a single mention in the C-net article. HATERZ WINNZ!!
Unfortunately not quite true: it links to DHC for the "national obsession" cite.
@ Lawnmower Man
Aw, bummer. Here I thought all his foreclosure juice was in vain.
