Super Secret HaterzCon™ Picture

First, let's be real. HaterzCon™ is nothing but a name for BTC, Funky and Nigel getting together and acting stupid. As anybody who was listening to todays bore-cast with Casey knows, they did exactly that. It turned out to be a good thing because their drunken ramblings were the only thing in the whole two hours that wasn't putting us to sleep.

But we have received a photo from a Mr. Bandit, who purports to have inside knowledge of the affair and who has included the attached photo of preparations for a Haterzcon™.

We're not certain, but we think the one with the torch and pleater jacket is meant to be Nigel, but he's obviously wearing a toupee. BTC seems like the type who would have gone for the shotgun. Funky is just plain too weird for us to try to figure out.

We also like the island touches in the background and of course the iPhone, which is a necessity for any solvent blogger.

And is that a Chatzilla window in the upper left of the screen? Are the haterz quietly communicating and coordinating or manipulating things behind the scenes? Is there a new "inner circle?"

Mr. Bandit has also provided the following, purportedly showing the refrigerator at some point near the start of the event, which may or may not explain the state of the threesome when they called in.

And that's the way things are from FalseCasey HQ, where we wish WE could be up in the mountains for Octoberfest tomorrow!

Will TrueCasey Make it to HaterzCon West?

A number of major developments have taken place. TrueCasey was invited by Nigel earlier today and apparently agreed to show up. BTC, Nigel and Mr. Funk will fund the flight, though BTC later posted that he wishes he had not agreed to this some time back. TrueCasey agreed and plans to be on a flight in the morning.

However, there have been later developments:

• We have become aware that TrueCasey has just read Mr. Funk’s open letter to him, which was published in this space some time back. Feel free to check out the original text as preserved on our massive servers.
• TrueCasey has informed Mr. Funk that he is no longer able to respect him.
• As an aside, we wonder why he thinks anybody would care about receiving respect from TrueCasey?
• Apparently TrueCasey asked that Mr. Funk be excluded during a phone call with Nigel. Nigel provided assurances that Mr. Funk will be on his best behavior. Casey also expressed concern that we at FalseCasey might be in attendance. As we are not a single individual, it would be quite difficult for an individual "FalseCasey" to be there.
• Finally, TrueCasey is scheduled on an 11:35 flight. This would require TrueCasey to be at the airport no later than 10:35, and really would need to be there earlier to be sure of making it through security and all the other hassles. This would entail him leaving home by 10:00 and presumably being awake by 9:00. No such thing has occured recently.

We believe it is unlikely that TrueCasey makes it to his flight.

And that's the view from FalseCasey Headquarters, which appears to be in a third-world corrupt and cronyish country where the key to success is not hard work, but rather just being connected to the right corrupt officials.

Casey in a Nutshell

Our acquaintence BelowTheCrowd penned this brilliant observation over at the private CaseyHaterz board, where we are priveleged to have access. We are blown away with the succinctness with which he has said what we tried to get at in our previous comment here.

As Edward Everett wrote to Abraham Lincoln the day after they both spoke at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery: "I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes."

He has no plans.

He learns nothing.

He has nothing to offer.

He couldn't tell us anything that was wrong with his "education."

He couldn't tell us one thing that he could have done differently to improve the outcome.

He couldn't tell us one thing that haterz recommended that might of resulted in a different outcome.

And he still claims that he'll have something useful to sell to people in financial distress?

He doesn't know why he failed, can't explain what to do differently next time, and expects to be lauded as a genius.

And we can only agree with WeWantTheFunk, who noted that

That is all anyone needs to know about Casey, right there.The problem is that the person that needs to know it most wouldn't understand what any of it means.

And that's the view from FalseCasey Headquarters, where things are pretty quiet and Law and Order is on.
