Fenhuan – One of the Ten Most Beautiful Towns in China

WANNABE WARLORD

    A popular feature here on STORMBRINGER is busting out the phony wannabes - this site even helped track this guy to ground - but this latest freak was so bold he takes phony-ism to a whole 'nother level . . . not good enough to be a phony wannabe poser - he stood up a whole PRIVATE ARMY:

    CHINESE MAN ACCUSED OF CREATING FAKE ARMY SF UNIT

    April 13, 2011 Associated Press

    POMONA, Calif
    - A Chinese national who said he was the "Supreme Commander" of a made-up Army unit orchestrated an elaborate scheme that attracted recruits and their money with the promise that it was a path to U.S. citizenship, authorities allege.



    I think I like this guy's style:

    "Uh, excuse me there, Your Majesty, but exactly what
    rank are you?"

    "Supleeme Commandah. I a Supleeme Commandah Special Foss. You can car me Supah."




    Yupeng Deng, who is accused of raking in hundreds of dollars from his recruits, is set to be arraigned Wednesday on more than a dozen charges.

    Los Angeles County prosecutors said Deng, also known as David Deng, recruited 100 other Chinese nationals, primarily in Asian enclaves in the San Gabriel Valley, to join the "U.S. Army / Military Special Forces Reserve unit," then gave them phony U.S. Army uniforms and military ID cards.

    The 51-year-old El Monte man is accused of charging the recruits initiation fees ranging from $300 to $450, with renewal fees set at $120 a year.

    The recruits were instructed to report to Deng's office in Temple City, which was decorated to look like an official military recruiting center, to undergo military training and indoctrination, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. They marched in a parade in Monterey Park and took a tour of the U.S. Midway Museum in San Diego, all in uniform.


    San Diego's a HUGE military town - somebody HAD to have seen these clowns and wondered What the Hell is going on?"


    Deng was charged with 13 counts of theft by false pretenses, manufacturing deceptive government documents and counterfeit of an official government seal. He faces more than eight years in state prison if convicted.

    Deng was arrested by agents with the FBI and U.S. Department of Defense on a felony complaint filed Monday.

    Federal investigators began looking into Deng more than two years ago when they received reports from police who recovered counterfeit military IDs from some of Deng's recruits during traffic stops, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.

    When Deng sent his recruits renewal forms for their bogus military IDs, some showed up at real Army facilities to pay them, she said.


    Oh I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the wall when THAT madness went down!

Fortune Banquet

    On Tuesday S and I celebrated his 32nd Birthday by eating at Fortune Banquet, a Chinese/Szechuan Restaurant on Exhibition Street (next to Subway).
    As we are going out for Teppanyaki tonight, we were not initially planning on eating out on Tuesday but after walking past Fortune Banquet every day his curiosity got the better of him and he dragged me in for dinner, not that I was complaining.

    How cute are these crabs!
    I feel sorry for them.

    I had Chicken San Choy Bow as an entree, and also vegetarian spring rolls, which I forgot to take a photo of.
    This San Choy Bow was amazing.

    Chinese Tea.
    Out of curiosity, what exactly is Chinese Tea? It just tastes like hot water to me.

    Unsure of what this is as they bought it out before we even ordered.

    S's Main - some form of squid.

    Kung Pao Prawns.
    I have never been served this many prawns in a dish at a restaurant before.
    There was 27 prawns. Unheard of.
    Yummo.
    Each table has a buzzer so that you when you want service you can buzz it (it is silent) and the staff come over.
    We did not need to use this as the staff are very attentive, they don't speak much English but are great at their jobs!

    S took this. Clearly a master photographer.
    There was 2 ladies on the table next to us, who when ordering commented "I have never tried this soup before so I will try it" and when they tasted the soup they practically abused the waitress saying "This is disgusting. All I can taste is pepper. Your chef must have ruined it. Why would you serve such crap? Can you understand what I am saying?!".
    The girl said "I am sorry, but this is how it tastes traditionally".
    They were so rude to her.
    When she apologised and walked away they kept imitating her and laughing at her, knowing full well that she could hear them!!
    Just because you don't like something, does not mean it is ruined.
    If you want to order something you are going to like, order something you are familiar with.
    Anyway, this place was pretty good!
    Can't wait for Teppanyaki tonight.
