This week's funniest tweets: Frischling's ridiculous claims that the TSA stops by his house occasionally to check on him, that he once "argued" with Chinese military police and that he once snowboarded in the French alps in July. Enjoy.

Gee, but you express yourself so well on so many important issues I just can't see why you "can't change how others think"...
snowboarding champion steven frischling talked about snowboarding in chamonix back in 2003 on a sports shooter thread. he insinuates that he has been there in the summer and how great it is to be able to ride in the summer and just wear shorts and a t-shirt.
ReplyDelete"Been to Paris four times, been violently ill five times in those four trips. I think it is a sighn from G-d I should not be in Paris.....now Chamonix is amazing! No work there for a shooter, but you can snowboard on the glacier in July & August. You can ride all year round, but nothing like ridning in shorts and a t-shirt in the summer, and only an hour from Geneva."
http://www.sportsshooter.com/message_display.html?tid=2350
as with most things that frischling claims to have done, the devil is in the details. it's those little details that reveal his lies. the average temperature in chamonix is a balmy 34 - 36 degrees fahrenheit. you'd have to have some seriously warm blood to ski or snowboard those slopes in shorts and a t-shirt.
http://www.holiday-weather.com/chamonix/averages/
for a guy who claims to spend hours and hours a day doing "research" he sure has a problem getting the facts straight.
happy lying!
ETB's response is priceless and dripping with irony. Why does he/she care so much?
ReplyDelete2:40, because ETB is deranged.
ReplyDeleteFF, I've started clicking all the ads. You need to make a screenshot showing how much money you've earned to infuriate Fish even more. Even if it's $1.50 a day, it's more than Fish is making.
ETB aka Andrew suffers from mental illness and it's visible in every bizarre post and comment.
ReplyDeleteNotice he's stopped posting here as soon as FF reposted his whackjob comments with using his real name. (Brilliant.)
hey guys, how do we know ETB is written by Andrew? Didn't Steven Frishling start ETB before Andrew came along?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem Fish's "style" of writing. It more closely resembles Andrew the half-wit and his Twitter/FF rants.
ReplyDelete11:05 = Andrew trying to throw Steven under the bus. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThose two are so made for each other, its not funny. Perhaps they are secret lovers?
ReplyDeleteSuch insightful tweeting from the Man Who Never Travels. My God man, just take a trip anywhere. Who knows, perhaps someday if you try really, really hard you may achieve an entry level elite status at some airline. (j/k..you have to fly more than once every two years to qualify)

Normal people patronize doctors to get cured.
Steven's Self-Portrait in the blogosphere:
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Steven Frischling, and I blog to the lessers of the planet my surreal amt of wisdom about:
TERRORISM- I was a terrorist once in the Red Hook projects.
FOREIGN POLICY- I had diplomatic immunity while shooting Branson in Angola, once.
LONG HAUL CARRIERS- Ive fleeced the Lufthansa marketing dept once- I'm an expert.
HEAVY RESCUE and EXTRICATION- I saw a car accident once.
CAMERA BAGS- I designed the original Domke bag. I am the originator of all camera bags. I keep discarded body parts of slain teenagers in bags- doesn't that apply?
NEWTONIAN THEORY- I dropped a heavy ass 300mm F2.8 once- from the top of an ice arena to see if gravity was all an evil plot belonging to the flat-earth society.
NIKON vs CANON- I got fired by Tamron. Who the hell is Canon or Nikon? I've dropped, hackeysacked, or bowled a 300 game with over 250+ Nikon bodies and 80+ Canon bodies... they both sucked at it. But I heard Sony has a rockin durable shaden-proof body for me.
PORTRAITURE- Self-portraits on Skype rock. Especially when I still have my dick-in-hand to an internet skank with screen capture capability.
PLAYING FAIR- Breaking camera bodies and then dumping them on Sportsshooter and accusing others of breaking your equipment. Yeah I'm an expert at that.
TAKING BULLETS- I've taken more lead than 50 Cent. I am waay too amazing to be felled by earthly slugthrowers.
AWARD-WINNING IMAGES- Ive won hundreds of awards for wedding and editorial images I cant ever seem to find within my own archives. But, I distinctly remember taking them. Did I mention I'm an award winning shooter with a world-wide fan base? You don't have to be a hater because I'm better than the rest of you.
SOCIAL MEDIA GOD- I created Twitter and the Internet... F!@K Al Gore!
BABY-MAMA- I bullshitted a blonde via the net until she ran away and moved in with me. I am such a stud. I am the creeper your parents tried to warn you about.
FRANK ABIGNALE SYNDROME- What do you mean I have to share profits with Addison? Everything on this planet is MINE. Why would I be guilty of theft- you're all just too stupid to understand my greatness! Have you seen all of my Press ID's?
FALSE WITNESS- Of course I create fake accts across the net to support my strong arm tactics of social media persuasion and scorched earth mediacentric interpretation. Again... none of you are wise enough to understand my greatness.
IRANAIR-African Air-HOT AIR- What do you mean Yiddish superstar bloggers aren't allowed in the Iranian Republic? I am. UAL is gonna create a whole new route to Teheran JUST FOR ME.
<5 minute break to vomit repeatedly>
Did I already mention my award from AP for being voted LEAST LIKELY TO HAVE EVER READ A STYLEBOOK? So I have that going for me....
drone
ad nauseum
still droning...
Andrew get that putta your mouth- do you know where its been? Go lay down by your dish.
I AM SO AWESOME

I'm not a fan of using guns, I prefer using cameras. If I was using guns I'd stick with the Glock 19, nice weapon, well balanced, fits nicely in a leg holster, clip never jams......but I won't go into how I know.
I really can't wait for him to go to jail.
ReplyDelete^ 12:49 When not being questioned, knocked over the head, pepper sprayed, locked up, moved aside, pulled over, booked, interrogated, bullied, and laughed at by the cops, they let him shoot their guns.
ReplyDelete12:49,
ReplyDeleteI bet when he was in middle school he had a "girlfriend in Canada" too.
^12:49, "I won't go into how I know" <--- classic
ReplyDeleteThanks for clicking the ads. FishFraud has earned $2.03 more today than Steven Frischling himself.
^4:35, don't forget Frischling's claim that he has been shot not once, not twice, but NINE TIMES. Clearly, he is an expert on guns if he was been shot so many times.
http://fishfraud.blogspot.com/2011/03/steven-frischling-was-shot-9-times.html
10:31. Spot on. Andrew, go find yourself a plush toy. They're smarter than the guy you're defending. Maybe you'll learn something too.
ReplyDeleteReading that gave me the douche chills.
ReplyDeleteA wanna-be photo geek from the south shore of Long Island. I bet he has never even touched a Glock. He has got to be the biggest fuck-tard on the face of the the planet.
He once told me a story that he been in the projects and forced onto the ground with a gun to his head. The gang member fired but the gun jammed, so he miraculously lived.
ReplyDeleteHe also covered himself with some kind of ketchup or paint and took photos of himself sitting in the street looking exhausted, and then claimed it was himself after shooting a riot.
Sick and sad.
further proof (if you ever had any doubt) that frischling was most likely not the emt with special weapons and deep water certifications that he claims he used to posses.
ReplyDelete"I think every photojournalist has developed a
bad shoulder, bad lower back and favouring one eye (I have a shattered
rotator -cup in my right shoulder from a snowboard racing accident)."

any person who is an emt or has any medical knowledge knows that you don't have a rotator cup, it's called a rotator cuff. you also cannot shatter your rotator cuff because it is tendon and muscle that holds the ball of the glenohumeral joint at the top of the upper arm bone.

Don't forget about his ginormous tumor!
ReplyDeleteFrom ETB "...who would follow them now that they have been exposed by the ADL..."
ReplyDeleteHere's the result of a "fishfraud" search on the ADL website:
" Your search - fishfraud - did not match any documents.
No pages were found containing "fishfraud". "
There are three returns for "Fish Fraud" one for fraud and tuna fish, one for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and one for Florida Fish and Wildlife.

Let's hope he is not dying of shame...
looks like ^3:13 really got AF cranked up over at ETB
ReplyDelete^ 6:09. Does AF realize he has used the nickname of one of Frischling's spawn in that charming comment?
ReplyDeleteAlso, does anyone know why SF was in the ER in NYC on TD? Incredible that he didn't tweet about it.
^ He absolutely tweeted about it. Nonstop in fact. And claimed he ripped out his own IV and walked out against medical advice. It was one of our first posts.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of, FishFraud turns 1 year old on Saturday!
He also posted a picture - I forget where it is (there's one or two links to it somewhere in this blog), apparently because so many people were calling him on it. The picture is a head and shoulders shot taken from his lap looking up at him with a wall behind him that has some elements from a hospital room, but there's no sign of anything else in the room, just the wall directly behind his head.
ReplyDelete^7:09...AF ETB deleted the post you reference...oops his bad
ReplyDeleteI made my first visit to ETB. OMG. The language and low level of intellect is astounding. Each comment reads as if written by one person who uses the F word as punctuation.
ReplyDeletehere is the photo of our fat accident prone friend in the hospital last year.
ReplyDeletehttp://yfrog.com/h4misj
ETB is missing the whole point. FF fans are not obsessed over Steven Frischling. What we are obsessed about is poetic justice and Schadenfrisch. Its so rare we see someone get what he deserves for being a douchebag.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't tweeting about a family member's medical condition and hospital admission kind of defeat that whole HIPPA concept? Plus you have to love how he tweets about his harrowing drive to be at the hospital outside of visiting hours. It's like he is trying to garner sympathy by tweeting about his father's medical issues. I mean, what kind of person acts like this except this guy and of course his sycophant little buddy AF?

If your trenchant observations are hampered by your complete inability to use proper grammar and proofread your material, how can you promote yourself as any type of consultant that a bona fide company would actually hire?
^ He already has a justification for that, as usual. He just says that's just the way he is, so that makes it okay. Pretty much the same as how he justifies not returning wedding photos because that's behind him now and there's nothing he can do about it - he said so, so he's off the hook, in his own mind.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember when Steven was trying to sell various domain names on sportsshooter? He had things like newenglandweddingphotos.com.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to check this out?
Did anyone try to buy these domains?
From Amazon description of another blogger's new book:
ReplyDeleteReaders will learn what it's like to live in a flight attendant crashpad in Crew Gardens, Queens..
----------------
Then SF tweet, questioning the reference:
flyingwithfish Flying With Fish
@Heather_Poole "Crew Gardens Queens"?
Followed by reply from blogger about the reference:
Heather_Poole Heather Poole
Kew Gardens is also known as Crew Gardens. You, @flyingwithfish, of all people, should know that! Airline101 #NewYork
But of course, SF couldn't now admit that he didn't understand the reference so he lamely makes up a lie about why he questioned it in the first place:
flyingwithfish Flying With Fish
@Heather_Poole I have heard it referred to as Crew Gardens ... but find it funny you have it added into the books description
---
I love the 'you of all people' reference by Heather Poole. Like SF is just so knowledgeable about all things airline. Why do people, especially those with real jobs, banter back and forth with this soon-to-felon who doesn't leave the greater Niantic area?
He's never heard of "Crew Gardens." Otherwise, his comment right away would have been that it was funny or smart, rather than just a big question mark.

^6:26 typical response when you catch him on either a factual error or lack of knowledge. Steven Frischling can never admit that he does not know everything.
ReplyDeleteInstead of tweeting 12 hours a day about nonsensical stuff, why doesn't he make right by people he's screwed over the years and at least send them them the photos on DVDs from their weddings?
