Travel Forum / Destinations / Asia / October 2005Steve Kramer - The Great Pretender!
Steve Kramer - a photographer with expensive gear and limited talent. Steve Kramer had always dreamed of becoming a professional photographer and jungle safari tour-guide. But as the years slipped by, so did his chances of ever fulfilling his chidhood dream. Life was hard for Steve, who drifted from job to job, living from day to day, but he always somehow managed to get by. After a move to Japan to try his hand at being an English teacher, his finances took a turn for the worse as he didn't factor in the extremely high cost of living there before he made his move. But he hit the jackpot when he replied to a 'Lonely Hearts' advert in Kansai Time Out, and met the lovely Nobuko, whom he later married. Thanks to her rental income from the apartment that she owns in Osaka, and her pension (she is a retired school teacher) Steve has now fulfilled his childhood dream and has become.... a professional photographer and jungle safari tour-guide!!! http://www.takingthepiss.net/stevekramer/great_pretender.jpg Just in case you are unable to access the site via the above link, try http://steve-the-snitch.tripod.com/great_pretender.jpg NB You can also see this and other pics from the 'Kombat' photo album at http://www.takingthepiss.net/stevekramer/photo_album.html Just in case you are unable to access the site via the above link, try http://steve-the-snitch.tripod.com/photo_album.html **Still 'flattered' Steve? You really don't need me to ridicule you, do you? Looking at that 'great_pretender' photo, that's something you manage to do all by yourself!!! ;-) -- "In the mountains, I climb. Through the forests, I wander. Under the sea, I scuba dive. In Chiang Mai, I snitch. In the jungle, I play with myself. On Usenet, I pretend that I'm an "award winning" photographer, Kung-Fu Master, expert swordsman, expert deep sea diver, martial arts expert, Vietnam combat veteran and that I kicked Charles Bronson's a.s. I top it all off with gourmet cooking, playing blues guitar, and beating my wife with my tripod." - Steve 'Kombat' Kramer > Takin Gthepiss wrote: > > > **Still 'flattered' Steve? Incredibly so! You've now spent the time to make six different webpages about me, four of which are here. So much time spent thinking about me 24/7, I almost feel guilty not thinking about you. This guy has posted this same msg to eight different newsgroups! > You really don't need me to ridicule you, do you? If you call copying photos 'of' me from magazine stories 'about' me ridiculing me, http://www.chiangmainews.com/ecmn/2004/aug04/23_photo.php I think we use different definitions of the word 'ridicule.' If a photo of me at the beach resort off the east coast of Borneo with the island of Sipadan in the background is ridiculing me, I think we use different definitions of the word 'ridicule.' Or perhaps it's the photo of me relaxing on the shipwreck in the Philippines? > > Looking at that 'great_pretender' photo, And taking photos from a different magazine, from a monthly column that 'I write,' and thinking THAT is ridiculing me, I think we use different definitions of the word 'ridicule.' Perhaps you think the photographs taken from the Japanese university's handbooks, supplied to you by Timothy Willis is ridiculing me. Poor Tim ridicules me so much that less than a day past from the time I moved out of my apartment until he moved into it. Surprising since it's on the fourth floor and Tim can't even go out on the verandah as he's afraid of heights. I had to help him get back inside when he stepped out on to the verandah of his third floor apartment. I always worried that he would try to skin me and wear my skin just to be me! However, I didn't lose any sleep over that. :o) > awesome, steve. There is nothing awesome about mental illness. > the pissant worships you and follows in your footsteps faithfully. Yes. 24/7 with at least 6 web pages devoted to me. I almost feel guilty not thinking about him. But I can live with that too. *grin* Steve Kramer "PhotoEnvisions" Freelance Photography Chiang Mai, Thailand http://www.photoenvisions.com  Signature"The voyage of discovery lies not in seeking new horizons, but in seeing with new eyes." - Marcel Proust > There is nothing awesome about mental illness. > Steve Kramer *******5555555555555.

As a matter of fact, yes. One of my undergraduate degrees is in psychology. Takin is a very disturbed individual, and may well be suicidal. > *wink wink* I was asked a question by some people; why are you always winking at men? I'm really looking forward to meeting you in person this week. Actually, there are a few people who are looking forward to meeting you in person this week. Do you think you will really show up? Your drunken phone calls to me from Pattaya were a great insight to your personality. Call me when you get here. I really want to talk to you. Face to face. We might even be able to prolong your visit. :o) Steve Kramer "PhotoEnvisions" Freelance Photography Chiang Mai, Thailand http://www.photoenvisions.com > I was asked a question by some people; why are you always winking at > men? ***I don't know Stevie.

What do you mean by my drunken phone calls from Pattaya? You really are losing the plot Stevie. I've never been to Thailand let alone bothered to phone you. > Steve Kramer *****btw Stevie the latest photo that Takin has put up is a classic. You look even funnier than the one of you taking photos the wrong way round. ;-) > <steve@seatraveler.com> wrote in message > > I'm really looking forward to meeting you in person this week. > > *****Really????

Are you so foolish as to think that your calls don't leave a record? And from a cell phone no less? 011-75-6145 routed through Bangkok. And your friend's phone number also. Unless he lives in the bar, the call he made the following morning was from the same 02 number. Don't you think the police have access to these records? Or the records of the Camillian Center in Rayong? Father Giovanni may be out of the country right now, but there are other staff members who are happy to comply with police requests about 20,000 baht donations from NZ. Yes, we are most definitely looking forward to talking with you face to face. > I've never been to Thailand let alone bothered to phone you. The weekend is fast approaching. Are you going to punk out now that we know who you are? HHH people are betting that you won't show. I guess they know you better than I do, eh?

That would explain why YOU like to *wink* at men eh Stevie?????? Sorry old chap but I'm taken but keep searching I'm sure there must be some desperate old bum out there that is interested in you....... As to the meeting bit Stevie, I know you are confused, I don't have a phone, I am not in Thailand, I have never spoken to you and I have no desire to meet you (given your clearly stated fetish for men). However I have heard that you are about to receive visitors of the male variety. Men in white coats coming to take you away. Please relax, keep taking the medication and await their arrival. Hope this helps. ;-) > As to the meeting bit Stevie, I know you are confused, I don't have a phone, > I am not in Thailand, I have never spoken to you and I have no desire to > meet you (given your clearly stated fetish for men). Even Bob Johnson knew that you called me from Pattaya and posted that in SCT. Golly, then I guess someone has stolen your identity. Not my problem. Yours. Anyway, it's out of my hands. And as I said in a previous posting; > The weekend is fast approaching. Are you going to punk out now that we > know who you are? HHH people are betting that you won't show. I guess > they know you better than I do, eh? It looks like they were correct. You ARE to much of a coward to sit down for a face to face talk. You can post anonymously, telephone when you're blind drunk, but when the chips are down, you run like a rabbit. Not unexpectedly. But then, that's why you post anonymously.

Just as you use *sock puppets* someone has obviously chosen to use my name in a phone call to you..... Did they tell the truth and call you a w.nker old bean????? Out of your hands eh????? Going to report this one to the AFP just like last time??? Oooops, that backfired on you big time did'nt it. No more snapping at the AFP offices. LOL. btw Stevie check out the w.nker in this photo....... *GRIN* http://www.bahtbus.com/images/The%20Great%20Pretender.jpg ps. NO winking and other men now Stevie........

For Gods sake Stevie, get help before it's too late. ;-) > > <steve@seatraveler.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > Steve Kramer ******* Stevie. That post is written by something so confused, it doesn't know whether to scratch its watch or wind its a.s. Clearly, you spend way too much time in darkened rooms in front of your seven-year-old computer turning a whiter shade of pale. Go outside once in a while and breathe, before your brain starts to rot from all that festering stagnation and cognitive dysfunction. I notice that you never let an idea interrupt the flow of your posts. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself on the Internet. Anyway, who was talking to you or even taking you under consideration? As Robert Wilensky said: "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true." What possessed you to think that you were capable of being entertaining or interesting to read? There's nothing wrong with you that couldn't be cured with a little Prozac and a polo mallet, or, better yet, suicide. Maybe you wouldn't read like such a pathetic loser if that pimple on your a.s hadn't turned out to be a brain tumor; if your weren't so fat that your cereal bowl has its own lifeguard, or if you didn't have a face that makes your pillow cry itself to sleep every night. Nah, of course you would. In future, wake up the dozy peglegged hamster operating that wheel-powered brain of yours before you start typing. ;-) <kombat@seatraveler.com> wrote in message >> "Steve Kombat Kramer" <kombat@seatraveler.com> wrote in message >> > There is nothing awesome about mental illness. >> > Steve Kramer [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > As a matter of fact, yes.

I wonder if you'll be flattered with next week's photo, when I update the Kombat photo album? > You've now spent the time to make six different webpages > about me, four of which are here. **Six different web pages? NO Steve, NOT Six. Or Five. Or four. Or three. But TWO. TWO different webpages. Posted on two different sites.

You have at some time or another infested all of these groups, so it's only fair that I post to all of them as well! >> You really don't need me to ridicule you, do you? > > If you call copying photos 'of' me from magazine stories 'about' me > ridiculing me, **Yes I do. > http://www.chiangmainews.com/ecmn/2004/aug04/23_photo.php I think we > use different definitions of the word 'ridicule.' **I use the widely observed definition of the word, meaning to mock and to make fun of. But you, being the conceited little man that you are, with an *enormous* ego, think that 'ridicule' means to flatter or to admire, don't you? > If a photo of me at the beach resort off the east coast of Borneo with > the island of Sipadan in the background is ridiculing me, I think we use [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > And taking photos from a different magazine, from a monthly column that > 'I write,' **They give you free advertising, in return for you writing a monthly column for them. > and thinking THAT is ridiculing me, I think we use different > definitions of the word 'ridicule.'

Exaggerating (and patting yourself on your back) seems to be one of your favourite pastimes, doesn't it? Like claiming to have been a University professor in Japan, when you were in fact just an English teacher! And claiming that your business is doing so well that you have to turn away customers when in fact if it wasn't for your wife's Nobuko pension and rental income from the apartment that she rents out, you would be broke! And claiming that you are an "award winning" photographer when in fact you don't have any awards! And claiming that you spend thousands a month advertising in all the leading tourist magazines in Asia, when in fact you have a deal with 2 free tourist magazines/rags in Chiang Mai that let you have free advertising in return for you writing a monthly column for them! And claiming that you saw combat in Vietnam when in fact the only action you saw was on KP (Kitchen Patrol) duties - peeling potatoes, rinsing plates, and scrubbing floors! You're a fraud Steve. You're as phoney as a 3 dollar bill. > I almost feel guilty > not > thinking about him. But I can live with that too. *grin* **And I 'almost' feel guilty about ridiculing and making a fool out of you, and getting you to dance like a monkey for me.
