  Over the years the question has arisen again and again.  Just what IS a Casey?  Using the device of analogy, I hope to be able to more adequately address this issue:
If the Casey family were a(n)... ...we would be
hand gesture air quotes
disease prickly-heat
speech impediment verbal apraxia
color ochraceous-buff
MS-DOS command fdisk
language esperanto
cult Sacred Mushroom of the Cross
aspect of quantum mechanics Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
Old TV Show Alias Smith and Jones
consonantal sound voiceless glottal plosive
Soda Walmart "Clear American" Key Lime
single-celled creature Pilsner-lager yeast
type of quark Strange
 

 

"CASEY is the 479th most common last name. Around 60000 CASEYS live in the US. Our family changed its surname in the early years of the last century having immigrated from Quebec. We're actually Tessiers! which is the 7869th most common last name in the US.

The move from Tessier was a net gain of 7390 in ranking.  This should silence the critics who still maintain that our family is not progressing!"
