Naughty Traveling Claus Clan Shames the Name of Santa
June 25th, 2009

PHOTO REMOVED AT THE DEMAND OF ANDREW CREMATA: although this photo clearly showed Tim Connaghan at the brothel museum.

Summer is clearly not Santa’s season. For the third year in a row the off-season behaviors of a clan of professional Santa Clauses is grabbing headlines and causing jaws to drop. This year, they traveled by cruise ship to Alaska, where they stole headlines everywhere they went — including Skagway, Alaska where this group of Santas posed at a famed brothel museum:

The group, being tutored at a “School4Santa” sponsored by the International University of Santa Claus, were supposed to be learning the delicate art of representing Santa Claus and living up to the industry-wide standards set out in the “Santa Claus Oath”.

The schools, led by Santa trainer Tim Connaghan across the United States, teaches professional Santas the history and business of professional Santas.

End of Excerpt. It seems that the International University of Santa Claus, according this article has a 3 year history of trouble.

We have a feeling that having Santas pose at a Brothel Museum may be a new low.

Here is another version of the same story from http://www.skagwaynews.com/;
HO HO HO's

PHOTO REMOVED AT THE DEMAND OF ANDREW CREMATA: although this photo clearly showed Tim Connaghan at the brothel museum. You can click the links in this article to see the image of Tim Connaghan at the brothel museum however.

You can view the archived image and headline here.

A Santa convention showed up on a ship last week and posed with the ladies at the Red Onion Brothel Museum. They also sang “Jingle Bells” in the Christmas Store and generally made themselves noticed everywhere they went.

We did a little research on the "Red Onion Brothel Museum". The Red Onion Brothel Museum is housed inside the "Red Onion Saloon". This is not a restaurant that happens to serve alcohol, this is a BAR. So even if this Mr. Tim Connaghan can figure out a way to explain why a Brothel Museum is the correct venue for Santa, why would he plan an entire trip around going to a BAR?

Isn't anyone else upset by this?

Tim Connaghan supposedly teaches a Santa School, where one of the subjects of instruction is;

What Qualities do Great Santa's Possess - A Santa of Character

Tim Connaghan, who is standing just to the right side of the woman in the top hat, and has his left hand on the shoulders of the woman in front of him, also teaches to always have both hands showing so there is no accusation possible later on. Now.. Where is his right hand?

Santa's Girthday Party?

Just in case you all forgot about the most foul "santa" page we have found, do NOT forget about Ric Erwin, the L.A. Fair "santa claus" from Laguna Niguel.

We previously reported that Ric Erwin, who also claims to be a professional videographer, posted on his ricnvic.com video site, a video of his Birthday Party. Oh Wait, it wasn't his Birthday Party, he proclaimed it his GIRTHDAY PARTY. Not only that, he called it "Santa's Girthday Party"
You can see the screenshot of his own web page right there. And look, his page even states his tie in with the L.A. County Fair.

But let's get back to the Girthday? The page reads, "CLICK HERE to see video of Jolly Ole' Saint Ric receiving one of his recent birthday gifts - from a young lady with a FEW gifts of her own!!"

A very common dictionary definition of the word girth is:
The girth of an object is a measurement around it.

Now one would probably assume that what we MUST be talking about is Santa's Belly.. right?
One would THINK.

But then when you watch the video, you get to see that the subtitle of his video is, "HOW SANTA GOT HIS YULE LOG BACK" and then we see the very vulgar Mr. Ric Erwin, the "santa" for the L.A. County Fair, sitting in a chair, making rude comments about a belly dancer that someone hired for him. How Santa Got His YULE LOG Back????? Does anyone still think Ric Erwin is talking about Santa's belly? Or is Ric Erwin publicly talking about ANOTHER part of Santa's body?

We posted about this once before, and even posted a link to this video that ties Santa to vulgar comments. Once we let the world know just what kind of "santa" Ric Erwin is, he quickly took down the video, and changed the name to remove the "Girthday".

But he still had it up there. This slovenly looking man drooling over the belly dancer acting as if she was a stripper had this video up for almost an ENTIRE YEAR before we posted about it. Once we did, he took it down QUICK. He then wrote to our server company complaining about what we did. Our domain name had to find a new home. We are still working on finding a place for the very large .rm file so that the world can see just what kind of "santa" Ric Erwin really is.

But we have so much on him, his foul mouth, his harassing people in their homes by calling their landlords, and so much more, we are SURE he will do something again, to disgust us. AND we will post it here, so that the world will know.

Porno Santa? "santa" using words viagra and porno on his website

Well, well, well, we were surprised by this one.

We were researching a "lady" on SantaTalk that seems to have an unending smart mouth.
She uses the userid "tadeigh" which is supposed to be a play on her real name, "TaMara", sounds like Tomorrow.

We discovered her real name is Tamara Gold, of Salt Lake City UT. She is the wife of Bret Gold, a "santa claus" who works for Amusematt, and has been the santa claus at the Provo Towne Centre Mall, at 1200 Towne Centre Blvd, Provo UT 84601.

Bret Gold and his wife TaMara Gold are self professed pagans and witches. Now, in our opinion, that is not all that good, and while we don't like it... we didn't think it was reason enough to post on our list. Her smart mouth, wasn't really a reason either.

But when we went and did a google search for their domain name, "realwhiskers.com", we were SHOCKED at what we found. On their website, they set it up, so that the words, "buy viagra" and "porno" were text content on their site. It shows up in the search engines, but is "invisible" on their webpage itself.Here is the same search, with the words highlighted, just in case you missed them on the previous screen shot;
Here is the source code for their page.. you can see that Google didn't have some kind of script error and insert the words into the search result... THIS IS IN THEIR HTML CODE FOR THEIR PAGE!


Now, we HAVE to ask the question.... WHY would someone use the words, "viagra" and "porno" to label their sites in the search engines? What are they trying to do? WHY would they tie those words and that kind of content to their Santa Claus Site?

So, you be the judge, would you want to take your kids to see the Porno Santa Claus at Provo Towne Centre Mall? Would you want to pay good money to Amusematt to let your kids sit on "Porno Santa"s lap?

"Santa" indeed has a foul mouth

It's time for some screen shots to prove our posts


Ric Erwin, a "Santa Claus" in Laguna Niguel CA and who was the "santa" at the L.A. Fair this past September posted a post with the subject line "GOD DAMN YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL, NICK TROLLI!!! "
Here is the post as a screen shot.
Can you believe the mouth on this Santa?

Here is a conversation where they are making fun of a competitor in their business.


Charlie Thomas, a "santa claus" from Alabaster AL (AKA BamaSanta), said of his competitor,

"... I'd be willing to lend my foot to be strategically placed in the appropriate area for kicking"

To which Ron Olsen, a "santa claus" from Alameda CA, said,

"Dibs on cutting the suspenders!"

Finally, Owen Davenport, a "santa claus" from Terre Haute IN responded with this one;

"I want dibs on cutting that nasty beard"

Here is a post from a Mr. Glenn Heald, a "santa claus" from Macon GA,


Is he asking Jesus to kill someone?

Speaking of BamaSanta, his wife, Cindylu, AKA Cindy Thomas from Alabaster AL is no better than the foul mouthed "santas". Remember Mr. Earl Allen Keeney, who said that the correct way to handle a brother who strikes you on the cheek, you are to "kick him in the nuts"?

Check out this reply from Miss Cindylu.. and we are not referring to the cute little Cindylu Who from Dr. Seuss. This little old lady shows a real mean streak herself.


This little old lady will HOPEFULLY stay away from the Santa Set when you take your children in the Alabaster Alabama area. But.. who knows.. maybe she will be there. MAYBE she will be acting on the set, the way she acts on this message board. Do YOU want to take that chance?

While we are on the subject of BamaSanta. We were checking out their website while preparing this site, THIS was on their website;

and this was at the bottom of the page;

Unfortunately, they have recently reworked their site, and you cannot see "their" nice list anymore. So, you cannot see the stolen bandwidth tag either.
Here is what Wikipedia's description is of "bandwidth theif"

Inline linking (also known as hotlinking, leeching, piggy-backing, direct linking, offsite image grabs and bandwidth theft) is the use of a linked object, often an image, from one site into a web page belonging to a second site. The second site is said to have an inline link to the site where the object is located.

and

Some servers are programmed to use the HTTP referer to detect hot-linking and return a condemnatory message, commonly in the same format, in place of the expected image or media clip.

A common way of dealing with bandwidth theft, is "the old switcheroo", whereby the person paying for the bandwidth, but is the victim of bandwidth theft, will, instead of telling that person to stop, they will simply EDIT the image, making it an image that can be offensive, or embarrassing. It seems the owner of the image on Charlie Thomas' website went for the embarrassing option. Lucky Mr. Thomas. However, it revealed Mr. Charlie Thomas and Mrs. Cindy Thomas to be bandwidth theives.

Hmmm.. No wonder they changed their website.

The L.A. Fair Santa called a father a liar because the father asked for prayer for his daughter.

While looking at SantaTalk again, we noticed that some posts are starting to be deleted.
One here, one there. Not many, just a couple. It seems that when we post and let the rest of the world know just how terrible these PUBLICLY VIEWABLE posts from "santas" are, they take THAT post down.

Case in point, the post wherein Frank Richard Erwin, AKA Ric Erwin, a supposed "santa claus" in Laguna Niguel, and who sat with the Los Angelas children this past September at the L.A. Fair, posted a post with the subject line of "GOD DAMN YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL, NICK TROLLI!!!".

In this post, Ric Erwin states that he calls the Apartment Complex Manager of Mr. Nick Trolli, because Nick Trolli had posted a prayer request for his daughter who was involved in a swimming accident that endangered her health.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SantaTalk/message/5795

Ric Erwin posted that message number after Nick requested prayer for his daughter, on Nick's own organizational message board. Nick Trolli did NOT post it on SantaTalk.

The "santas" on SantaTalk felt the need to post it on their message board, and then use the information to attack Nicholas, at his home, via his landlord.

We have repeatedly mentioned this in our postings. As of this morning, that post is now gone.

SantaCheck.com has accomplished another victory. However SantaTalk, SantaTalkATT still exists. Until they are completely ashamed of their PUBLICLY VIEWABLE FOUL MOUTH, we will not stop.

Part of his original message is as follows;

She wasn't exactly hostile at first, but she was QUITE stern-- even from the opening greeting-- and she demanded to know exactly who I was, and that I reveal the source of my interest in the matter before she would even confirm or deny its occurrence. I identified myself exactly as I'd done earlier, except that this time I specified FORBS as the group I was calling on behalf of; I told her that the resident whose report we were trying to verify was Nicholas Trolli, and that we simply wanted some kind of third-party confirmation before we loosed the flood of sympathy and support which such an incident would surely trigger amongst our noble brethren.

As I spoke this, I sensed the relief flooding through Robin, and once she started to talk, I felt that tingling sensation in the back of MY neck, as well!!!

First of all, she said, the pool was closed yesterday. Secondly, there HAD been a minor incident on Sunday involving teens horseplaying, but that the only person at risk at any point was that teen boy mentioned in Jerksniff's post-- and that the closest Nick's daughter ever came at any point to being in danger was when the teen grabbed her bathing suit, and she briefly went under water. Although she DID cry after she got out of the pool, she made her own way to the poolside, AND SHE WAS NEVER OUT OF SIGHT OF THE LIFEGUARD!

Wait a minute, let's see if we can sort this out and then piece it back together as a truthful statement. We do not see that it can happen.

First;
"She said the pool was closed. "
Second;
"There HAD been a minor incident on Sunday" ... (At a CLOSED POOL???)
Third;
"The closest Nick's daughter ever came at any point to being in danger was when the teen grabbed her bathing suit and she went under water". .... (sounds like someone else in danger besides just the teens that were horseplaying)
Fourth:
SHE WAS NEVER OUT SIGHT OF THE LIFEGUARD????? ( A lifeguard at a closed pool???)

Swimmng and playing in a "CLOSED POOL". A girl who was "NEVER in any danger", yet, she was pulled "under water" by some teenagers. ?????????

Ric Erwin is calling Nick Trolli a liar because he asked for prayer for his daughter, and he can't write publicly viewable sentences that agree with each other in the same paragraph.
Frank Richard Erwin, AKA Ric Erwin, a "santa claus" in Laguna Niguel, CA and the "Santa" at the September 2008 L.A. Fair, called a father concerned for his daughter, a liar.

"Santa" called a father a liar, because the father asked for prayer for his daughter.
The L.A. Fair Santa called a father a liar because the father asked for prayer for his daughter.

Just because we are tired of posting filth on here, and it is nice to have something good to publish, we are going to publish the prayer request from Nick. You can see what has ENRAGED "Santa" so much. We are posting this with his permission;

Tonight I am sitting vigil on my 10 year old daughter praying that she will be ok. Today after taking her to participate in a Flag Ceremony with her scout troop, the VFW and the ELKS we returned home and my wife took them to our complexes pool as she has done the past two weeks and usually does in the summer months. Today like I usually do I stayed home and worked on Santa and AORBS stuff in the quiet of the apartment.

After tiring of my activities on the phone concerning AORBS and the discussion ensuing on ELF NET I decided to go to the pool and relax a bit. This was not to be the case for me however. Upon my arrival at the pool I could sense uneasiness in the air, as I scanned the pool I found my wife with my daughter at the side of the pool. Cecelia was gasping for air.

As I am assisting Cecelia my wife tells me of 3 teenagers that were goofing off at the pool and that they threw a 17 year old friend in the 9 ft section of the pool. This fellow couldn't swim and was flailing in the water. Both my children have had classes at the YMCA and are good swimmers. They are now working on becoming better at swimming under water; this is why Cecelia was in the deep end. When this guy was thrown into the pool he was fighting for his life. A drowning person will grab anything to try and stay afloat. It is not uncommon for a rescue swimmer to be drowned with the initial victim.

Cecelia was what this kid was grabbing and she was being held under him where no one could see her. The life guard thought this teenager was goofing off as has been their habit and she didn't see my daughter. Finally the life guard jumped in and saved the teenager as he was going down for the third time. Cecelia managed to break away but was in trouble as she was week and had aspirated water. My wife got her to the side of the pool and out of the water.

A trip to the ER and now a night of observation, this father sits here realizing how close my baby, my angel came to singing in the choir in heaven. I'm not afraid to tell you that the thought of losing my child terrifies me. There is no way after an incident like this you cannot realize how precious life is.

Please pray with my family that Cecelia is ok and that all the bad that can happen when you aspirate water in your lung doesn't happen.

You make the judge on which Santa you would want to visit YOUR children.

"Santa" can be VERY mean!

OK! THAT does it!!!

PUNK TROLLI: (thank goodness I can FINALLY address you directly, and expect a reply!)

YOU HAVE THE EFFRONTERY TO ATTACK SANTA MILT COTTRELL?!?!? Oh, the CHUTZPAH!!!

SANTA MILT COTTRELL WAS A SANTA WHOSE JOCKSTRAP YOU COULDN'T CARRY ON YOUR BEST DAY, IF YOU WALKED TWENTY PACES BEHIND HIM!!!

YOU'D BETTER PRAY THAT GOD HAS MERCY ON YOUR SOUL, NICKY!

Meanwhile, your ass is stuck down here-- WITH US!!!

Just for the record: Since your knowledge of the law is as pathetically limited as your vocabulary and spelling skills-- [just guessing.....most of the way through TENTH GRADE, before you dropped out?]-- I will do you the undeserved favor of reassuring you, that:

My preceding statement IS NOT an assault upon you!!!

I am NOT threatening to come to whereever you are and kick your worthless, no-good, blasphemous, piece of S**T ass up around your throat so that you can wear it like a muffler while you beg Santa Milt's wife and family to forgive you!

NOR am I telling you that if I ever find myself within an arms length of you, I will punch you right in your cheap, lying, rotten, no-bath-takin', four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, under-the-porch-sleepin', dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, d**kless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey s**t-lickin'mouth!

You see, I would never, EVER say or do anything like that!!!

Ask ANYBODY!!!

Oh, and as for your demand that I give you a list of the charges that you are facing-- DON'T YOU WISH?!?!?

No, I'm afraid that if I give you that information, you would just take it to use in YOUR counter-revolutionary attempts to dislodge the evil bastard who has lied his way into YOUR beloved fraternal organization, betrayed it, robbed it blind, bankrupted it, ran its reputation into the ground, libelled and slandered every single one of its elder statesman, lied about its-- oh, what the hell, everybody with an IQ above that of a hemorrhoidal baboon's knows what I mean-- and if you try real hard, perhaps you can find one of them to explain it to YOU...

I can't wait to hear you squeal like a pig, Trolli!!!

Ric Erwin (I'll go back to being a Santa when I'm done with you, you mo-- oh, never mind...)

Wait a minute, this post was from who? From: "Santa Ric Erwin"


Wow! Talk about a Mean "Santa"! Or do we have the wrong idea about this kind of "Santa Talk"? And how would YOU take that if it was written about you? Would you think he wasn't telling you he was going to physically attack you? Or would this be viewed as a threat to you?

I can't wait to hear you squeal like a pig, Trolli!!!

Sounds like a threat to us. a Mean threat, from a Mean "santa".

"Santa" has a foul mouth!

"What a pathetic sack of shit you are"
