There's An Idea Forming In My Brain

This mini-vacation stuff is great. My creative juices are flowing more freely than my rectum after a double wheatgrass enema. Anyway enough about recreational diversions. Big things are happening here at Exurban Nation and I want you all to be the furst/murst whatever to hear. As of now if you donated to my tip jar you'll be able to post instantly. Yes, that's right, instantly. Now this isn't easy so I have to ask you be patient as I get the bugs worked out. I don't have the same mad skillz that some do. So, there it is; donante, here, here, here or here and you'll be able to comment without any delays. Oh and as a special contest anyone who can expalin the graphic or post heading gets to post immediately for FREE. Yes, Free!

"Bribe" him for instant comments?

Fuck you Casey!

This is your idea of monetizing?

This sux! I'm broke, so I have to wait for my comments to be posted?? What a haterz. I'm going back to SLCrealestate where my opinions are treated fairly.

Is there any conceivable way to get Casey's PayPal account limited? Off the top of my head, I can think of a few, but they all involve blatantly illegal activity in itself.

OK, I'm brainstorming as I type. Here's one that *might* work, nothing illegal involved. PayPal doesn't take kindly to people opening multiple accounts at the same address. They think of it as either a pretext for money laundering, or someone attempting to generate reserve accounts in case another account gets banned.

The plan would be for many Haters to sign up for a PayPal account using Casey's address (the mail drop in Roseville, most likely). That's it. PayPal would soon enough shut down all the accounts with the Roseville address, including the real Casey's.

BTW, for anyone not familiar with PayPal, a "limited" account essentially means it's shut down. The account holder will be unable to transfer any PayPal balance to his bank account, and will also be unable to use his PayPal Debit Card to withdraw any PayPal funds. Win-win.

Konstantin Aleksovich, with regards to your proposal to "bribe" you for the right to make instant comments,

My guess on the graphic: you're insinuating that man-tights are the sensible accompaniment for the murse, and will be this summer's hot new fashion at the Sacramento ren-faire.

I say we just send him a bunch of phony donations like the $800 and force him to not only turn them back but pay fees as well. He'll have to shut it down before he incurs more fees he can't pay.

Swaby will pay. He'll be the only one commenting! Anyone care to register, not pay and see how long it takes? I smell another begathon!

Dear Casey,

We appreciate that you think your site is important enough to warrant people paying to see comments there, but I can get Willard Fucking Scott to say happy birthday to me for free.

Fuck you very much,

Sprezzatura said...

He is deep into delusion land if he thinks he'll get lots of sweet passive income out of people willing to pay for the privilege of commenting on his site.

.....Or maybe he is going to learn from Heekee and set up a private forum? Pay $39 plus $5 a month and you can get access to the sooper secret forums with all the inside scoop?

flailing forward said...

Did Casey hide his Sitemeter stats or something?

Adam said...

OK, I'll guess on the graphic: aside from the obvious murse similarities, CS is Robin Hood 2.0, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Except it's like he's Robin Hood in reverse, isn't it?

In reality, he's stealing from the pensioners and retired people who bought mutual funds from Wall Street, where the sub-prime collapse will leave these pensioner investors holding the bag when the CDO's goes belly up. Also, Casey is begging from the idiots who are either stupid enough to send $$$ to his tip-jar to post, or well off enough not to care.

But who is he making rich, you ask? Arguably, he's helped convert that 'funny money' equity locked up in a house for the lesser fool he bought the properties from; he essentially bailed the specuvestor out, allowing them to pocket the "phantom equity" in the property before his little pyramid scheme failed.

In reality, Casey was an pyramid scheme running in reverse, helping middle-class speculators achieve THEIR goals, while Casey saved these fliptards from certain financial ruin by swooping in at the last moment to save the day!

What do I win?

Nevermind, I had script blocked.

Incidentally, Casey tells us that there are tantalizing details he hasn't yet told us. Yet, yesterday, he blogged that his style is full disclosure--all the details, all the time.

This is one sick 'lil dude.

Sitemeter still up:

The general trend is EN at half IAFF. Last month it was one third. Three months ago 1/5th. DHC et al are not registering on the same scale.

Instant posting. Jeez. And no, you didn't get it right but we aren't about "doing" around here. It is all about trying and intention. You "intended" to get the answer right and itsallgoodenough.

The graphic is so obvious.

Robin Hood (aka Casey) is out greeting all the non-haterz. He's on a business trip recruiting for the "good things are coming" plan. Once he cons, I mean rescues, all his non-haterz he'll drift off on his horse, aka VDUBS.

No fear, CaseyHood is hear to save the day.

Man I thought that pool post of his was funny. Now he wants me to bribe him so that he gets around to granting me instant post rights in an efficient manner? LAWLZ

Anonymous said...

Does "instant posting" mean he'll let it post within 24 hrs? I mean, come on guys, if he gets to approving your comment in a timely fashion, say less than 24 hours, that's a huge accomplishment for ol' snowflake.

Anonymous said...

Paraphrased from a post by me on Aspeth's blog:

Is it illegal for a random person in Sacramento to hide a GPS transponder on the Jetta™ so that Casey's location can be tracked from the comfort of our own homes?

Hypothetically speaking, of course, it would remove a lot of rampant speculation... heh.

It's not illegal if we don't get caught. Kind of like stated loans.

I know, I know, i’m rabling. Before my nap I just wanted to do a quick “brain dump” of what’s on my mind. I probably seem very emotional and wish-washy too. Well I’m not that emotional but I DO tent to be whimsical, until the Rational part of my personality kicks in. It’s starting to kick in.

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).

OR IF YOU GIVE ME MONEY.

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.




Here's an idea. Let's all register, play nice til he upgrades us (as nobody but Swaby would pay for instant commenting) and his traffic will begin to dwindle. Then as he thinks things are going fine, we all troll the fuck out of IAFF.

"But Wwwwwait! I thought I had some supporters. You damn haterz!"


I'll bet Swaby wishes he thought of this method of crowd control.

This getting back to the nature thing is really working! Now that he doesn't have Galina holding him back.

D.C. Man Sues Dry Cleaner For $67 Million

Every now and then, something taken to a dry cleaner's doesn't come back, and now a D.C. man is suing his dry cleaner for millions over a pair of pants.

Roy Pearson said that two years ago, he took the pants from a pinstripe suit to a D.C. dry cleaner for alterations. He claims they lost the pants and tried to pass off a pair of gray slacks as his.

Christopher Manning, the lawyer for the couple who owns the business, Jin and Soo Chung, said those gray slacks were the pants Pearson dropped off.

"He did not drop off any pants that had red or blue or any other pinstripes," Manning said.

The Chungs eventually offered to pay $12,000 to settle the dispute, NBC News Pete Williams reported.

"We can't sleep properly," said Jin Chung, who emigrated from Korea in 1992, through a translator. "We cannot eat properly. We can't function properly, because this is always on our mind."

Pearson, a local judge who declined to be interviewed, is hoping to sue the pants off the cleaners, asking for $67 million in damages. He claims the Chungs committed fraud when they put up signs that said "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Same Day Service."

I think the Aspeth wrangling is Camp Idiot troll at work. Fact of the matter is the style matches nobody we know, and the CI guys just love to say outlandish crap for the hell of it. MAy as well rile a few of the players in the Serin saga I suppose.

Is there any conceivable way to get Casey's PayPal account limited?

Not restricted, but as I posted in an earlier thread: there's an easy way to mess with it.

Casey pays a small percentage + 30c on each transaction. So, if you PayPal him less than 30c -- say, one dirty penny -- he'll actually pay more in fees than he'll receive.

(Or am I missing some minimum amount for transactions?)

Anonymous said...

I would payPal that little fucker one penny. It's more insulting than not sending him anything at all.

Rob Dawg said...

How about hundreds of dirty pennies each in their own envelope via snail mail c/o the Snapdragon address?

Sprezzatura said...

If you troll his PayPal, then he'd have access to your real name & email address.

I told my wife I need a change of scenery and some time to think and brainstorm. In critical points in my life I find it helpful to go to the nature. She supported my decision and off I went. I think I will stay here for two nights.

Rampant speculation? At Exurban Nation? Never!

Rob Dawg said...

You guys were "speculating rampantly" and I wasn't invited? Sniff...

Anonymous said...

The time bandits.... let's see. Casey gets into a bit of a bother, so he closes his eyes, tumbles away from reality and lives in a timezone only he can see. And if he learns how to use the time machine properly, he can go back 2 years and start shorting the residential RE market - but then he'd be rich but with no chance of minor fame, so what good would that do???

Anonymous said...

I have literally hunders of pennies htat have accumulated in a great big mug... I hate the idea of giving him anythign at all, but rather like the idea of seeing if he'd count and roll them to cash them in (though he may be just smart enough to use a CoinStar machine).

Rob Dawg said...

CoinStar takes 5%. Of course Casey would go that route. He'd trade dollar bills for 19 nickels all day long. Unless instead of cash you take Star"bucks". Great, 100 dirty pennies yields 25¢ of coffee. Still the idea of all of us from al over the globe dropping a stamp and a dirty penny to flood his mail has a certain appeal. He might even accidentially open the Countrywide and Cashcall letters in his zeal.

I'd like to take a moment to thank Rob Dawg for providing this forum for us to discuss and vent the situation.

As a bonus, it's a nice feeling knowing Nigel is jealous of all the hits.

Guys, I have an ebay business and the only time the .30/transaction fee PLUS 2.9% of the amount sent is applied is IF you use your credit card to pay him .01

If you send it to him as a transfer from your bank or PP balance, he is assessed a fee of 2.9% only.

FYI.

Anonymous said...

Anonymous Haterz,

Nigel isn't jealous Nigel is just annoyed. You see, Nigel works hard at making Nigel's blogs the best they can be. Nigel finds nice images, Nigel finds material to discuss and Nigel moderates. Nigel isn't jealous because Nigel has 2759 fans. Nigel bets Rob doesn't have more than 200 fans.

Swaby OUT!

WTF!
No really WTF!

I can post instantly here all for the low low price of FREE. I actually like posting here better because Casey is such a F#@K-UP it might help him in some way to post and these messages are funnier.

By the way what the hell do you need to moderate? Filter out the spam and the really really long messages that are ment to take space. That's it, dishes are done why such a huge ordeal?

Anonymous said...

Casey will get some morals and choose not to accept paypal donations from the very people he mocks so often. Us W-2 loosers can keep our legally gotten gains and let grifters pay for the ultimate privelage of instant moderation. * Notice I didn't say instant comments. Because we all know he'll continue moderating, even if paid.

A conversation overheard from around a certain campsite in the wilds of Lake Tahoe. Don't ask me how I got this tape, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

"Casey, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"Uh, I think so, Nigel, but balancing a family and a career ... ooh, it's all too much for me."

"Nigel, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"I think so, Casey, but if they called them "Sad Meals", kids wouldn't buy them!"

"Casey, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"Well, I think so, Nigel, but what if we stick to the seat covers?"

"Nigel, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"Uh, I think so, Casey, but this time, you wear the tutu."

"Casey, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"I think so, Nigel, but isn't a cucumber that small called a gherkin?"

"Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"I think so, Casey, but we're already naked."

"Casey, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
Wuh, I think so, Nigie, but burlap chafes me so.

Great day of brainstorming yesterday.

10:30 am
Talks about installing a new WordPress plugin.

11:51 am
Couldn't figure out the plugin, gonna try a different one.

12:15 pm
New plugin is sweeeet!

12:30 pm
More talk about another plugin.

3:21 pm
Finished with moderation plugin. Sending emails to weed out haters.

3:28 pm
"I don't have time, so I'm gonna release all comments."

3:35 pm
Some plugin didn't work.

Looks like you spent 5 hours working on upgrading your blog. But that didn't work out. I know average people (i.e. not programmers/web developers) who can set up WordPress, fully customized, in 30 minutes. Dicking around with plugins for 5 hours is hardly productive or worthwhile.
