Ecard "authors" arrested after moonshine bottle fight

Vendetta Hollow, FL:

Two authors have been charged with domestic violence and assault.

Cindy Crueger and Fran Fremont, both electronically-published authors, were taken into custody yesterday after Bunker Trailer Court residents reported "violent noises" erupting from the mobile home belonging to Crueger's son. Upon response police found Crueger and Fremont engaged in a physical fight on the lawn. After their arrest several empty and shattered bootleg moonshine bottles were found inside the premises.

Bunker Trailer Court,
where the authors spent long hours
creating "snarky" ecards.


Authorities have determined that the incident spawned over an argument started some days before between the women when they were trying to decide upon the name for a proposed electronic card design business.

Crueger's attorney says Fremont fired up the debate when she made "snarky" comments via an ecard about Crueger's failed writing career. Fremont's lawyer alleges the same about Crueger, and further contends that Fremont posted artwork at her website, poser artwork that was allegedly created to "mock and deeply wound Ms. Crueger". Because the women have refused to answer questions police are still investigating the online debate and how it started. But Chief Michael Ramsey says such things are negligible considerations in a matter involving the kind of out-of-control violence demonstrated by the pair.


The electronic ecard emailed to Fran Fremont by Crueger



The electronic ecard sent to Cindy Crueger by Fremont

"Its pretty childish if you ask me," Ramsey told sources. "Apparently both women spent a great deal of time cooped up in that trailer designing these e-cards. All the designs are of a vengeful nature, and investigation reveals that the pair posted some online. We suspect they did this in order to retaliate against people they believe are their enemies. They don't appear to have many friends in the world outside the internet, and don't have much else to do with their real families. With all this misdirected anger brewing inside them, I guess it was inevitable they'd turn on each other sooner or later."

A Bunker Hospital spokesperson has confirmed that Cindy Crueger suffered the loss of an eye during the fight, and that Fran Fremont underwent surgery to have both her ears replaced. The spokesperson also acknowledged that both women lost several teeth in the course of breaking moonshine bottles against one another's faces. Ms. Crueger's son and owner of the trailer is currently attending college in another county and will not be charged in the incident. Freddy Crueger did make a brief statement to reporters, "My mother has always been her own worst nightmare."

"Freddy Crueger did make a brief statement to reporters, "My mother has always been her own worst nightmare.""

Fred Cruciger, my father-in-law, died of a brain tumor a year and a half after he was diagnosed. My 15 yo son's name is Jon. Other than that small thing, the rest of it isn't bad for a first attempt at amateur satire.

... and Revenge Gifts was never an ebook. I wish it had been.

"Now go in peace and be nice to one another. Life's too frigg'n short for anything less."

*snort*

Irony. Now THAT is funny.

Long Wong Peter said...

Ferbelfat, may I ask what is Revenge Gifts? Sorry to hear about your FIL's passing. My sister-in-law recently died of ovarian cancer, after years of trying to get pregnant.


BTW can we to assume you're a professional satire writer? Capo may not be a professional satire writer, but he has written for stand-up comics and did a couple of gigs as a political gag writer. But he's a cool guy, and the most decent man I know. I'm sure there's no need to personalize what you read here.

Have a great evening :)

FerfeLaBat said...

You are assuming "Karen Scott" is telling the truth. On the few occassions when she has posted supposedly "personal" things about herself, it was to get people who are commenting under their real names or verifiable pseudonyms, to reveal real conditions they have. She then uses it against them later in one of her hit posts.

The truth is, you have no idea if "Karen Scott" is even a she and you don't know if "she" really has fertility issues. I think that if she does, it's reprehensible to use it to lure in victims to use as blog fodder, which is why I wrote that post you so obviously took issue with. I'm sure there's no need to personalize what you read there.

Most people just want the entertainment and Karen gives it to them one way or another. It's all good ... as long as it's someone else being roasted.

I have no idea if you are making that up about your sister-in-law but if it is true, I am sorry for your loss. You can, however google my father-in-law's name for verification of what I say.

There's absolutely no question who your post is about. I am absolutely fair game and you did a pretty decent job. Bringing my kids into it was an especially interesting, character revealing touch. You blog anonymous, so you can say whatever you want with absolutely no personal repercussions so why prevaricate? Have the guts for a full on attack. You will win points with your mentor Karen Scott, and be well on your way to blog stardom.

I'm sure Capo is a great writer with a magnificent career ahead. Let's be honest, though. Decent people don't blog anonymous hit pieces about people they don't know just for entertainment. You, Me, Karen, Capo, Purr - we are many things. Decent is not one of them.

Welcome to the carnage.

FerfeLaBat said...

Crap. I use "absolutley" waythehell too much. Need to work on that ;-)

Long Wong Peter said...

Sir/Madam, while I know who Karen Scott is, I for one don't know who you are nor do I understand what you're referring to. (Purr -if you log on today, maybe you can elucidate me please?) Forgive me Ferfelabat, but I'm not a big blog surfer and contribute here during my time off. I assure you, however, I am real. I have known personal loss; my wife died young and my family moved to the US after suffering their own tragic ordeals which I won't go into here. Anyway, it is not my ambition to enjoy "blog stardom"; I am a practicing psychologist and parapsychology researcher with no interest in such things -maybe I'm missing out on something by not wanting stardom but I can live with that LOL. The identity I use allows me to enjoy anonymity, just as I'm sure the ID of "ferfelabat" provides you. You say that Capo brought your children into this, and yet you also previously shared the name of your son in commentary. Since his name was not used -I've looked again and don't see it- it is my feeling you are inclined to personalize your online experience here. This is not a personal attack, just my opinion based on what you've said. But from what I'm hearing it sounds like you have issues, or believe you have issues, with Ms. Scott. I hope this can be resolved and honestly wish you all the best. Good luck.

Karen Scott said...

Hey, I only just followed Mr Pickled Cupid's link back to find you guys here. Glad you're back guys, C'um Hither Global was far too amusing to be done away with permanently.


I can't believe Cindy Cruciger found you guys before I did, anybody would think she was trawling through my blog on a daily basis or something.

You know Cinny, the problem you have is that you crossed one of those lines that even I wouldn't cross in blogland. Oh yes, even I have my limits, believe it or not.

I can't think of many misdeeds outside murder, rape, and pedophilia that would deserve Ann's artwork, or your comments.

A smart person would have never made those comments publically, regardless of your private thoughts.

It would be like me finding out that your husband was having an affair with some hot young thing, and mocking you on my blog because of it. An extreme example I know, but that's kinda what you and Ann did.

So in lieu of that, no matter how many people I call fucktards, you're always gonna be the bigger mean girl here. Always. Depressing isn't it, considering how much you hate 'mean girls' huh?

Karen Scott said...

Oh, and welcome back guys, it's good to have you back.

Long Wong Peter said...

Hi Ms. Scott! Thanks. Glad to be back.

Maybe you could be so kind as to elucidate me about what's going on here? Ferfelabat has made some charges in her comments sounds like an unhappy blogger. Is this person the Cindy Crucify or Ann you are talking about?


I hope all is very well in your part of the world, Ms. Scott :)

Long Wong Peter said...

My apologies, I meant "Cruciger". I need coffee.

Karen Scott said...

Ferfelabat has made some charges in her comments sounds like an unhappy blogger. Is this person the Cindy Crucify or Ann you are talking about?

Ferfelabat and Cindy Cruciger are one and the same person. And yes, she does come across as unhappy doesn't she?

FerfeLaBat said...

Oh Karen. You have no lines or limits. Once you start lying you are at rock bottom and digging.

Here's the deal. Every other month or two (or until I get bored with it) I am going to spend five minutes scanning your blog, looking for your latest victim of fame-hate and I am going to blog it. It's just that simple. If you don't like it, don't do it to other people. When you stop attacking people for no reason, I will stop criticizing you for attacking people. If you don't like the criticism, don't criticize. Other than regret for the damage you do to your targets, I don't care if you ever stop. I would appreciate it if you would stop playing the victim. It doesn’t suit you and I would hate to think I was actually hurting your ever so delicate feelings.

To the anonymous owners of this blog ... if you say you simply used my father-in-laws name to be funny then I will pretend that I believe you. You've mentioned losses in your own families and I am sorry for your loss. It's a little different though when someone deliberately drags up the name of your loved one and uses it the way you have here. That line is ok with you though, I see.

You have learned the "Karen Scott" style book by heart.

a. Anonymous
b. Attack people you don't know.
c. Don't bother to fact check the source before lashing out.
d. If you can't tell the truth, lie like your life depends on it.

You are a creative breath of fresh air. As I said before - welcome to the blog wars. Stick with Karen. She will feed you tons of fresh meat.

cinnamon purr said...

Peter, you poor babe in the woods! Cindy Cruciger is an author who apparently hates Karen. From what I understand it seems Cindy and one of her friends have gone out of their way to poke fun at Karen. Some of it is explained here:
http://karenknowsbest.com/2008/05/28/cindy-cruciger-loves-karen-scott-and-just-doesnt-know-how-to-tell-her-awww/

Now granted, Karen isn't shy about expressing herself, and her "colorful" language is definitely an acquired taste lol. But as you can see those who are acquainted with Cruciger generally are of the opinion she's a victim-in-search-of-martyrdom. I'm not surprised she's jumped on Capo's blog. That thing about her FIL being named Fred? Sorry, I just find that hard to buy. Anyone acquainted with our old blog, and especially those who know Capo, are very aware of how redundantly fertile the silly factor is in the Romance world. We've seen many authors use the Revenge and Karma card as their excuse to act any way they please, and this makes the general behavior ripe for spoofing. And though they might wish to think its all about them, them, them, sorry but not a one of them corners that market! If Cruciger really believes otherwise then she has my pity.

Attention-hungry writers out there seeking to use this blog to wage their "blog wars" really should look for a more welcoming forum to do so. If I see any further pity-me comments
like what I've seen from this individual they will be removed.

cinnamon purr said...

And Hi Karen. Thanks much for stopping by and hope you are doing great!

Karen Scott said...

Oh Karen. You have no lines or limits. Once you start lying you are at rock bottom and digging.

Oh but I do have limits Cindy, I really do. And those limits keep me from becoming as bitter and twisted as you are. As for being at rock bottom, I have a ways to go before I join you and Ann. And that just makes me so very happy.

Here's the deal. Every other month or two (or until I get bored with it) I am going to spend five minutes scanning your blog, looking for your latest victim of fame-hate and I am going to blog it.


Monthly? Who are you trying to kid? You trawl through my posts on a daily basis, and will continue to do so because You. Just Can't Help. Yourself. I consume your every blogland thought. Desperation is such an ugly thing to witness.


I love how much I make you seethe with hatred. You're so angry and bitter, that you can't see straight. I admit to finding you more amusing and pitiful, than offensive right now, but that may change someday though, you never know.

If you don't like it, don't do it to other people. When you stop attacking people for no reason, I will stop criticizing you for attacking people.

Once again I ask, who are you trying to kid? You're not doing this for the greater good, you're doing this because I managed to humiliate you last summer, without much effort. You know it as well as I do. I humiliated you with your own words, and your own actions. And you just can't stand that, can you? You are much more uglier on the inside than I can ever claim to be.

I also know how much you wanted me to like you. You were like a little dog, salivating for a tiny crumb and a good word from its owner. Sad, I know.

I would appreciate it if you would stop playing the victim. It doesn’t suit you and I would hate to think I was actually hurting your ever so delicate feelings.


Playing the victim? Nah, I just get a kick out of using your own words against you. I think we both know that I've been far more successful at doing that, than you have.

Publically mocking me because of my inability to conceive, wasn't the smartest thing you've ever done, was it? That's not how you get people to see how evil I am. What were you thinking Cinny? In what planet was that tactic ever gonna work? I mean really?


Oh by the way, I have another post up, mocking yet another unsuspecting victim. You should blog about it. I called her a fucktard and everything. I know, my evil knows no bounds.

Bring it on Cindy, it should be another fun summer.

Peter, sorry about bleeding all over your blog. I'm done now.

FerfeLaBat said...

Well at least you still have a sense of humor -- a warped one -- but it's still there.

Karen Scott said...

Hi Cinnamon Purr. Welcome back to the crazy world of Romancelandia. As you can see, nothing changes much in this corner of the world.

It's good to have you back, a laugh a day is good for the soul methinks.

Long Wong Peter said...

cinnamon, thanks for providing the link. It didn't take well but I eventually found the post.

Very well, having read it: I see no humor in a woman's difficulty to conceive, and wish now I'd never mentioned my deceased SIL and the problems she faced prior to her passing. I also see how Ferfelabat could possibly misconstrue Capo's blog, but as you say the ground is far too fertile and riddled with incidents like this for any individual to assume a spoof is aimed purposely at them. The only end this type of behavior achieves is in sustaining a delusion of persecution. I agree further comments as have appeared by this person should be deleted, if just for the mental health considerations of the poster. I wish her happiness but it is my view she needs to look for it somewhere besides the internet.

Joyce said...

OMG heres my favorite blog people! Peter you would not believe how many times I typed you guys in at Google and the other blog was just gone. Where did you all take off to? Welcome back, welcome back!!

Joyce said...

Peter will you still be posting the videos of the week? I loved those, made my Sundays!

Joyce said...

hmm Ferfelfat, it sounds like you're reading way too much into the post. I don't know you but everybody knows Freddy from the Nightmare On Elm street movies! Thats what makes it so funny. No reason to be paranoid.

Long Wong Peter said...

Joyce dear, thank you so much. Capo and Bailey have got married and moved to Italy. I'm about to fly over there myself. Not sure for how long, but we'll see.

As a matter of fact I happened to catch a couple of real cute vids at Youtube this morning. I've been house sitting my neighbor's dogs and they're a handful, but give me a few and I'll see about getting those posted here for you. And bless you for hunting us down. It means a lot to be remembered :)

Tuscan Capo said...

Jesus Christ. Reminder to myself - never watch a Nightmare film fest before posting.

Ok, first off, a big HELLO to lovely Karen & our favorite reader, Miss Joyce!

Peter, I'm sorry you got caught up in Ferfelabat's little mind games. I'm surprised she actually managed to twist something out of this to be offended about here. Like cinnamon pointed out there's no cornering of the stupid market in Romance land. As much as I'd LOVE now to give this Ferby credit where credit ain't due, my post was inspired by many of the mean and downright nasty stunts carried on by authors of the "I'm a victim" mentality. Sorry to burst her bubble, but I'm not a lonesome little planet revolving around the great and shining star called Cruciger. Sheesh. She came here for attention and slung mud until she got it. I'm guessing that her next move will be one of retaliation in order to satisfy her junkie fix.

Long Wong Peter said...

Everything's cool, my friend, I'm fine.

OT, would you mind asking Bailey if she'd send my Mother the recipe for the stuffed mushrooms and the cream cake? Uncle Lu fell in love with those.

Erica said...

Oh dear lord
I was going to comment about how glad I am to have these funnies back to read when I saw this thread. At other blogs I usually just lurk, because I tend to feel out of my league around authors. But coming to visit these people is like sitting down with that neighbor who has the funny stories to tell and makes you feel welcome any time. They're dammed nice people. I've heard plenty about Cindy Cruciger (Ferby) over at Karen's blog but thought it was a lot of hot air. I owe Karen Scott an apology. At the risk of becoming another of this author's targets of revenge I have to say she really does know how to show her ass. I read the post, and sure didn't pick up anything about poor Cindy Cruciger from it! Its humor and nothing else.

Like Capo said the world doesn't revolve around Ferby-Cindy Cruciger. She needs to get over herself!

cinnamon purr said...

Thanks Erica and Joyce.

This is what really grinds my coffee: "Decent people don't blog anonymous hit pieces about people they don't know just for entertainment."

I'm Capo's wife so yeah I'm prejudiced, but let's really get real here. She's dishing this hypocrisy out about a man who has not only bled and fought for his country, but risked his own life for total strangers when the towers went down on 9-11. This man's donated bone marrow to his nephew. When I was in the hospital last year he stayed by my side day and night. So I'll be damned if I let any nasty little leech come in here and diss him just so she can get some free publicity. She obviously has no conception of what the word "decent" means.

Dick Fry, the Romance Know-All Guy said...

I just have to take time away from my nice cushy little place in the world to say something here -don't get too excited cinnamon, I do this once in a blue moon. anyway, I've known Capo longer than even you and oKay the man has his faults, eg, he probably was flirting with the nurses the moment he came out of the womb. He's got the singing voice of a buzz saw. He couldn't understand a v-6 engine if his life depended on it. His fondness for french wine and those Italian shirts are kind of girly. But I tell you what. He saved my ass and half a dozen other sorry bastards just like me. Any time any place, if that man needs anything all he has to do is make the call. I know the others feel the same. Screw any body coming in here with pissy accusations. The man has a sense of humor. So what? He's earned the right. And knowing the wonderful SOB like I do I can guarantee he doesn't make up false shit about any real woman. Not his style.

Slipping back to finish dinner. Congrats on the nuptials.

Uh.. I just thought it was a spoof about Freddy Krueger from Nightmare. And what the heck is Revenge Gifts?

Tuscan Capo said...

"His fondness for french wine and those Italian shirts are kind of girly."
Girly, Dick? GIRLY?? You wound me, bitch.

;)
Love ya man. Thanks

And cinnamon, I got the bottle chilled just for you my sweet girl...ggrrooowl.

Sara said...

Anonymous, "Revenge Gifts" is a book Cindy C. wrote. But bringing attention to herself and her book in the way she has here is pretty pathetic.

Sara said...

Capo, congratulations to you and your wife! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness :)

Ann and Cindy just need to grow up.

Maria said...

It's not Cindy Cruciger you have to worry about, but her best friend Ann Vermont, another author. She blogs by creating weird beings of her and Cindy's "enemies" and insulting them, like the latest one of Karen and her "eggs." There are several bloggers and authors these two target with pitorial hate.

Brandy said...

This is my first visit to this blog, so bear with me please if I take a few to comment?

My mother talks a lot about the funny people at this blog and so I popped in today. One of the first things I saw was the post with that nasty picture of the clown with the tommy gun standing in front of the Twin Towers. Curious, I followed the link there to this one. What do I find? A funny post about what I thought was Freddy Kruger. But then I got to the comments and all hell broke loose because of one person wants to say the post is about her. What gives? If I can't see any relation why is she so upset?

Only now can I understand the later post with that picture. Tuscan didn't deserve that. His wife and friends defended him when you said he was indecent. Then you and this friend of yours retaliated by mocking him with that obscene photo? From what's said here by others you've done it before, too. Just because his friends came to defend his rep and show you what kind of person he really is, this is no excuse for either of you to use that info in order to make that terrible picture. You ridiculed him because he's Italian. Thats mean and discriminating. The world would be a much better place with more "clowns" like this Tuscan. If you are Americans you should be doubly ashamed!

Long Wong Peter said...

"She came here for attention and slung mud until she got it. I'm guessing that her next move will be one of retaliation in order to satisfy her junkie fix."

You definitely called that one, my friend. Maybe you should be the one practicing psychology LOL

Tuscan Capo said...

Peter, I don't think it was any special feat to see that.

Dick, just to let you know, Mrs. C. has taken your comments to imply we're claiming to be inside Cosa Nostra. So looks like we'll have to start wearing cheap pinstripe suits and bad haircuts if we wanna keep up appearances, boys. Think I'll invest in some cotton wads for my cheeks and a big-ass ring for all you guys to kiss, too for next time we see each other LMAO

Dick Fry, the Romance Know-All Guy said...

We used to pretend we were god's gift to women, but even the nuns saw through that..

Seriously, that's just stupid.

I guess there goes my life long dream of being called "Fredo". Damn life's so unfair :(

Long Wong Peter said...

Oh yes indeedy. I've really enjoyed the free passes at the car wash every time they mistake me for Tony Soprano or Michael Corleone.
lol ;)

Anonymous said...

A link from another site's blog led me think this post was directed at a real author. Sorry, I just don't see it. But it is a funny story! I've loved the Freddy movies since I was in middle school (years ago!) and it's cool how you worked him into the Romance world LOL!

Cindy said...

Hi, my name IS Cindy Crueger, and I LOVE this comedy story!! No one has any idea how many times people have teased me about my "freddy" connection. I found your blog by Googling my name by the way, and going to book mark you all to show this my family tomorrow. Thanks for the giggle!!

Tuscan Capo said...

LOL COOL Cindy! Glad you liked it, and we appreciate the comment!

A classy lady with a sense of humor. Now that's what we love!
