Fun stuff at dirtyscottsdale - mortgage brokers leaving 3% tips at stripjoints and a steroid-using freakshow 'property developer' poser in London

Here's a couple funny updates from dirtyscottsdale, the most guilty pleasure on the internets.

1) How do you know times are tough for the mortgage brokers? They're only leaving 3% tips in Scottsdale strip joints. One more knock-on effect from the mortgage meltdown - watch for strip joints to close up shop now that the mortgage broker money has dried up, right when the supply of strippers skyrocketed too (with the REIC layoffs)...

"Ladies please note, since guys already know this fact: 30K Millionaires= Mortgage Brokers.- nik"

2) Read the hilarious series of posts about materialism-defined Scott Alexander, aka "Frog" from the UK - too funny! But now it's kinda serious, as he threatens Nik with death and violence. Comes with the territory, I should know, but it looks like this roid-rage poser freakshow means business.

You'll love the description of the overpriced condo he's trying to sell in Manchester. Why does this guy remind me of our fraudster David Crisp (without the juice)?

"Alexander Signature Homes, under the direct project management of Scott Alexander, design truly one off bespoke accommodation using only the finest fixtures and furnishings, creating a truly unique “A” list finish to the property, only when the property has surpassed all expectations will it then be worthy of Scott Alexander’s personal signature…."

HousingPANIC Stupid Question of the Day

- Own free and clear: Good to go

- Bought before 2002, never HELOCed or Housing ATMed: Good to go

- No-down option ARM negative equity mortgage: Get lost you pathetic loser!

- Took out a 90%+ mortgage in 2003 - 2007: Sorry, gotta run!
