Oh dear

It seems Exurban Nation has been infiltrated by supporterz. Or trolls. Or trolls pretending to be supporterz. Or supporterz pretending to be trolls.

I think I prefer garden gnomes.

But seriously, wading through literally, hundreds of comments is getting tiresome. I have better things to do with my time. Like watch paint dry.

Kidding. I would much rather peel the ugly-ass wallpaper from my entry wall. Nasty stuff...it amazes me that people CONTINUE to put up wallpaper.

And really, what it boils down to is (a) Casey is so low I'd rather have dinner with the scum on my pool shoes (b) the supporterz are misinformed and just as ignorant as Casey and (c) Aspeth is taking WAY too long on that joint post :>

And because this is just too outrageous, Casey says:

CashCall is just using scare tactics.
They can’t do much from what I’m
told. Which doesn’t mean I will not pay them
back. I just don’t like people
trying to bully me and my family around.

So you take responsibility, come back and deal with it, head on. Asshat.

Hell Hath No Fury

And I am almost scared to see the fury that will be unleashed upon young flippy snowflake. Either that, or I will be glued to my computer with a bowl of popcorn.

Aside: I came home early from my looser job because I felt like 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb sack, turned on the tv and it was some flipper show about a couple that had jumped the gun in (a) not getting a home inspection (b) bought in a very small town - Durham? and (c) took their time doing renovations the DIY way.

At any rate, three things.

Thing the First: Nigel

I'm not quite ready to link to him but over at Don't Hate Casey Serin (well, maybe you should) he's been busy blabbing about what Casey's really been doing. Whether this is for traffic or not, it doesn't matter. Its good stuff and he seems genuinely affronted and appalled by the way Casey has treated his wife of late.

Thing the Second: Galina

Whoa. Man. Would not want to be on the receiving end of that. She is right pissed off, and feels betrayed. I think this last episode with Cashcall really opened her eyes. Go over EN to see what all the brouhaha is about.

Thing the Third

Flippy's "book". Available this summer! Take a look, he made a post with the cover on it. Look familiar?

BTW, the publisher's of "The Da Vinci Code" can be contacted at ddaypub@randomhouse.com

At any rate, its apparently going to be available in July. Are you lining up at Amazon to get that? (Yes, I know its a virtual company. Go to B&N then!).

5 weeks to write and publish.

HA.

And look at what I miss...

...when I dash out to Staples to return a file box that broke on me when I opened it. Yet another fraudcast.

I haven't listened to it, but sources say that young snowflake was doing this without his wife's knowledge.

BAD Snowflake! BAD!

At any rate, I promised a hypothesis on why he is like he is (and I now have a margarita so the creative juices are flowing and well-libated) (yes, its a word now. Hyphenated).

Many people have said that he suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). The Mayo Clinic (why does that always make me think of sandwiches and potato salad) summarizes NPD as

a serious emotional disturbance characterized by a grandiose, or extremely exaggerated, sense of self-importance. Individuals with this disorder lack empathy for other people but need constant admiration from them

(And I do apologize for formatting in advance. I still can't figure this out.)

Many opinions of snowflake have focused on the first (exaggerated sense of self-importance), or the second (lacking empathy particularly IRT to his wife, and later on his family after his brother lambasted him on a fraudcast).

I'm going to focus on the third: need constant admiration from [others].

We all know young snowflake needs constant admiration - why else start a blog about your escapades about how you're intending to change your ways? Few, however, have asked why he needs this admiration.

And this gets to what I like to call my "Supernanny Theory".

The show "Supernanny" (much better than Nanny 911, in my not so humble opinion) is based off a few premises:

1. Change the behaviour of the parents and you change the behaviour of the child.
2. Children misbehave because they crave attention and negative attention is better than no attention at all.
3. Children misbehave because their parents don't give them the quality education they need in order to be successful human beings.

Now, I'm not saying Snowflake doesn't suffer from NPD. What I'm saying is that his parents more than likely had a role in the development of that issue.

And I postulate that Casey may be an attention-whore of whatever kind of attention is available because even negative attention is better than no attention at all.

And for that, I put at least some of the blame on his parents.

This doesn't mean that there's no way for Casey to pull himself out of his situation. He can't go around completely blaming others for his problems.

Despite what may or may not be true about this, I have three words for young snowflake: Suck it up, Princess.

Alas, Poor Yorick, I know him well

The t. officiale looserius that is.

To recap: the other day IAFF suddenly disappeared. Just a blank page (just like violating the contracts that he signed with the t. officiale galinalis)

A bit later a short explanation page appeared and species 2759 posted a note elsewhere saying it was taken down because...

Ah shit. Just go read it here.

What I was going to say eventually, was two things.

Thing the first: I told you so. I said his family would make him pay for what he's done.

Thing the second: I suspect he'll be back, in one way or another. One of the many changes to the "farewell, cruel world" page was a shift from "The I Am Facing Foreclosure Story is Over" to "it will never be back as we know it." Now its a white page with "I'm sorry" in pale gray.

Who is this "we"? Is that a royal "we"?

Also, I call bullshit on the "I'm sorry." Snowflake has never been sorry for anything, ever. With that, he shows he still doesn't have his priorities straight and continues to believe that all the world's a stage, and all the people merely there to be played.

At any rate, because I do not rant nearly as well as Aspeth , I am going to cut this short. Like the Terminator, he'll be back, except not so much in a guns, leather and motorcycles way as much as dandelion fluff on the breeze of a collapsing housing market. Wearing pleather. And driving a V-W.

:)


Next post: a hypothesis on why he is like he is.

Extremes: Three Sides to Every Story?

Recent events in the blogosphere have given rise to questions as to how involved the t. officiale galinalis is involved with the dealings of the t. officiale looserius.

Back in the 1990's, a band called Extreme recorded an album called "3 sides to every story". The album itself was organized into "chapters" which were entitled "Yours, Mine and the Truth"

There are two schools of thought on this.

1. She is a victim of the t. officiale looserius' machinations and grey deals and has next to nothing.

2. She is so deeply involved and so aware of what he's actually doing that she finally saw the light of day and laid the smackdown so that he'd actually start bringing in some income and stop taking naps while she cleans toilets.

I would say that the truth is somewhere in between.

Akubi posts the confounding comment that would allow us to draw a clear conclusion.http://blogaboutablogaboutablogabout.blogspot.com/2007/05/exurban-nation-observation-about-galina.html

The gentleman who left the comment appears to be quite honest - he's not vulgar and he keeps coming back to answer questions. He claims he's met both the t. officiale looserius and the t. officiale galinalis.

And the truth about her involvement? She probably knows more than she's letting on to the t. officiale looserius. She knows about the blog (not linked because rule 1 is never link to the enemy), and has at least some knowledge of his escapades and their current financial situation.

Seriously, folks, they live with her sister and the rent hasn't been paid. Now, I don't know a lot about siblings, but I know a thing or two about old European mentality, and the sister probably talked to her first.

But this is all conjecture at this point.

So while Akubi argues the first school of thought, and Aspeth (likely) the second, I'll tell you my version of the truth.

The truth is, in the eyes of the law, it doesn't matter. Her signature is on various loan documents, property titles and credit card applications. That's all the law needs.

Like I pointed out in an earlier post, all that matters is the rule of law. In liberal democracies, everyone is treated equally.

The t. officiale galinalis is just as much at fault, in the eyes of the law, as the t. officiale looserius.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

1. The Good

There are some people out there who are actually really nice and try to help others out. From time to time however, they get serinated.

What is serinating, you ask?

serinate (v): to ask for help, get people to help you and make a deal with you and then don't make good on your end of the bargain.

It seems the Taraxacum Officiale Looserius did this to someone who is now very pissed off. Be warned - these are the dangers of serinating others. In the midst of this, it is questionable whether the Taraxacum Officiale Galinalis is in cahoots with the t. officiale looserius or not.

Recently, it seems the t. officiale galinalis grew a spine and said to the t. officiale looserius that he better shape up...or else.*

2. The Bad

There are some people out there who have good intentions, but are ultimately usurped by their own hubris. For example, species 2759 has become more oppressive of late. While he claims he is amenable to constructive criticism, and is against name-calling, it has become quite apparent that the rules apply to the caninus haterius and not to species 2759.

Constructive criticism, simply put consists of the following:

1. Identify the problem behaviour (e.g. - species 2759's behaviour is problematic in that the "rules" do not apply to him)
2. Identify why it is problematic (e.g. - species 2759 says he wants respect; however he ultimately thwarts his own desire)
3. Identify behavioural changes to fix the problematic behaviour (e.g. - species 2759 should obey the rules and see that they apply equally to him)

3. The Ugly

Sometimes there are some truly sick individuals out there. Truly sick, that intentionally bring the innocent into arguments that are none of theirs. These individuals, for whatever reason, put into danger the lives of innocents by posting their pictures, contact information and insinuates things about them that do not bear repeating here, or anywhere.**

What's even uglier than that, however, is that when asking the powers that be to do something more permanent about the blog, is to be told that nothing can be done, short of legal action by the party that is being endangered (or their representative).***
