A Blast From The Past Howard, a Kraven Sock Puppet and Chilla's Pal
nurk_fred2000
over at soc.culture.thai...Chilla aka Chuckles the Klown became good
"internet pals" with Howard until Kramer informed Chuckles that poor
old Howard wouldn't be posting anymore, that he had passed away from a
stroke...Chuckles was a very sad sack here for quite sometime!!!...Low
and behold good old Howard (dusted off and plugged back into the
"starting sock puppet rotation") was seen posting his stroke ridden
carcass away over at alt.cooking-chat...Hopefully discussing diet,
ehhh Pinkie!
from Howard Aslan (aka the Kraven Kramer)...
BTW--I've met Steve, and he seemed knowledgeable in the areas I had
> enough independent knowledge to evaluate. He was also very kind and
> generous.
I think anyone who's actually had 'real' contact with him is in
agreement. He's been nothing but helpful to me, and certainly
generous
to a fault! He sent me several pocket knives just to 'feel' so I
could make my choice in what sort to purchase, and never asked a
thing
in return.
I doubt any of the trolls (except one) have ever met him, much less
had actual contact with him or they wouldn't say the things they do.
We had one who tried to tell us that he met Steve and took his
classes, but that turned out to be false as well. Are there ANY
regulars here who would call Steve Kramer anything but knowledgeable,
but willing to learn, and just as willing to share with others? It's
only the trolls who do that!

**You know I actually feel sorry for Chuckles. He was played for a sap by
Kramer, who used Chuckles then tossed him away when he was no longer of any
use to him.
Howard's 'death' from a stroke was actually a missed opportunity for Kramer
to tell us another one of his 'adventure in the jungle' tales whilst at the
same time killing off Howard in a more dramatic way. :-)
It could have gone something like this. (*grin*)
Howard (who was supposedly living in Bangkok) goes on vacation to the South
of Thailand and ends up getting kidnapped by Muslim separatist extremists.
On hearing the news, Kramer (who, before being deported from Thailand, was
living in Chiang Mai) packs his ex-volunteer tourist policeman's truncheon,
a pack of cheap CD's, and a piece of flint and a small steel striker wrapped
together in a little piece of chamois leather and heads South to rescue
Howard and to kick some ass. Arriving in the South, Kramer then spends 4
weeks trekking through the jungle and manages to track down Howard's
kidnappers moments before Howard was about to be decapitated. Kramer single
handedly confronts the kidnappers, but despite being outnumbered 5 to 1
manages to whup them all before rescuing Howard and heading back up North.
Sadly Howard suffers an agonising death a month later from a rare tropical
disease caught whilst being held captive in the jungle.

That could be a full length action packed movie for the "big screen."
I like where that story is going. :-)

***I'm actually quite surprised that Chuckles didn't blow a gasket of
his own when he learned that Howard was alive after all...Falling for
Kravens sockie lock stock and barrel, Chuckles ended up with egg on
his face when he found out Howard wasn't dead but had resurfaced 6 mo
later over at alt.cooking-chat discussing steak tar-tar and roasted
lamb shanks...Ah yes, the world of Kraven sock puppetry...Soon after
the Howard revelation, YH Knives closed up shop as I'm sure that
Kraven's ID's was yanked (or he was booted); of course we all know
when it was all said and done the only ones left in the YH Knives
group were the Distinguished Trolls and Chuckles himself...It just all
went wrong and blew up in their faces..:-)
