Wow, this PLA issue is going to be a doozie. As usual, longer and even more
meaningless. First of all, I want to inform everyone of the little change the
stupid bastards at the voicemail company in Austin made. They totally changed
voicemail software (no longer the easily hacked Aspin) and relocated their
offices to downtown which meant, without warning, my voicemail number changed.
This all means, of course, that my plan of having a permanent number that
wouldn't change for a long time went out the window. Even for me, being a
"valued" customer of over seven months, they wouldn't refer the calls from my
old number to my new number. So, the new PLA Voicemail number is 512-703-8910.
I finally got my brand new shiney fridge magnet from Roy, New Mexico the other
day, direct from their gift shop! They even sent back my change (in cash) and
they sent back the stamps I had enclosed for postage. (The magnet was a little
smaller that I'd anticipated.) They also included their business card and a
receipt with a hand written note on it, "Thanks! We enjoyed doing mail order
business with you!" Thank you, Cactus Flower Gift Shop! I feel so cool...
A little about Chatterbox...It's run by fifteen year old, sligtly overweight
Amanda Eyer, whose goes by the alias Chatty and her dad, Scott Eyer, who goes
by the alias of Scott The Believer. It's one of those bbses where you're not
allowed to say any cuss words, not allowed to express your views because they
may differ from the sysop's and of course you're not allowed to express any
disbelief in the existance of some guy named God. When I called there, I
uploaded a GIF of the bible being used as toilet paper (which should be
included in this archive, by the way) and I made some innocent little post
about Jesus being dead.
Anyway, this didn't make either one of the sysops happy and both of them spent
the day praying and calling up all their brothers & sisters of the church to
get a group prayer for me going or something like that. It turns out that I'm
not the only courrier for satan that they've dealt with in the past. Nobody
likes them, their both always getting harrassing mail, their bbs has been
hacked and the user list (names & passwords) been downloaded and distributed.
Apparently, Chatty was gullible enough to give someone the access to view the
user list and he/she captured it and distributed it everywhere. I would
include it in this file but it'd be pointless because all the passwords have
been changed and if you want a user's phone number, all you have to do is
e-mail Scott The Believer for it and he'll give it out, no problem. Oh yeah,
that's what I was getting at. Scott gave my home voice number to Hit Man and
this whole shebang started up. Ah, but first you have to read some private
mail from The ChatterBox, just to get an idea of how lame they really are...
First here's an amusing piece of mail from Chucky #91 to Chatty #1, written
on Monday, July 3, 1995:
Why'd I get deleted? Well, maybe that's not really the issue here. What I
really want to know is why did you give out my personal home phone number?
When I first logged on here I used my real information thinking that you
wouldn't give it out to everyone but I guess I was wrong. Was I deleted
because I wasn't home when you called my girlfriend? I'm sorry, I was bbsing
at a friend's house. I had no idea that wasn't allowed on here.
I guess it'd be best if you forwarded this to Scott The Believer since he's
probably mostly responsible for all this, from what I hear. I just want you to
know that I don't appreciate any of this. It should also interest you that I
happen to have YOUR home voice number and could give that out to plenty of
people. Did you know that the guy you gave my number to threatens to fly down
here and kill me all the time? If that were to actually happen, do you think
that Scott would be legally responsible for my death? I think so.

I'm not stupid, I know who is all involved in a plot against me. But I'm not
worried. I don't apprecaite users loggin' you in as a new user ( referring to
posts made on Martini's board, oh.. You thougt I'd never see them, I have. )
and you have no clue...... Well.. I have to say I also don't think it is in FCC
regelations to give out any other users information on a post, or anything.
They are trying to contact FCC, I know this for a fact, as he is my freind. No,
He doesn't have access to my user log, and no, he won't ever. I made that
mistake once with giving a guy that info, and someone loging on as him and
getting all the info.. Alright, so if I didn't give him the #, he would have
gone and got it from someone else.... Trust me, he knows how. I'm NOT sorry I
am freinds with him. He's a nice guy, if you are on his good side, I'm just
glad I am. And I wish that Martini, and everyone else wasn't mad at me, I make
an effort to try and be nice to all of my users, but she broke a rule, and was
in violateon of FCC. I also have to add, that I let my dad handle that, so she
WOULDB'T get mad at me. I'm sorry I gave your #. And I'm sorry you were
deleted, but I was given the explination that it was because there have been
people logging in as your name. And yes we know who it was. I do read messeges
on martini's boarde.... I'm not as dum as everyone thinks.

[Sometime during all this Zak, who at the time still had a valid account
on Chatterbox, left feedback to Scott saying, "Somebody just called my
house and hung up on me! Can I have your user list?" and he got deleted
for it. Also, a few other users (Zenzeless?) were deleted because they
told Scott if their security couldn't be guaranteed on that system,
they didn't want accounts there.]
I really meant what I said about not bothering Scott anymore, by the way.
Since he was smart enough to make a public apology, I suppose I can respect
that enough to leave him alone. He will continue to be harrassed daily,
though. Not because I'm encouraging or doing it myself, but because of the way
he treats people who call there. There's nothing I can do about that. So
Scott, lighten up a little. As Colleen Card keeps pointing out to me, Scott
didn't apologize because he was sorry, he apologized because he was being
harrassed and wanted it to stop. Oh and if anyone ever wants to give the
Chatterbox BBS a call to talk about good, wholesome, christian and family
values, you can reach their bbs at 618-277-8040. And of course you shouldn't
ever harrass these people because they have the power of the lord behind him.
And although I would never give out their home voice phone number in a mag
that's distributed nationally, you could probably dial 618-555-1212 and ask
directory assisstance for Scott's number in Belleville and they would give it
to you, but I wouldn't encourage that either.

you need
1)a ladder
2)a axe
make friends (suck up like hell) with the sysop. so much that he either gives
tou his address or invites you over. a while later, keep track of when his
family member and him leave.
watch the house untill they all leave.
as soon as they leave, use the ladder to klimb into one of the windows.
if his room is in the basement, go through the upstairs window anyway( it's
funner that way) now, go into the room where he keeps his computer(S)
and HACK EVERYTHING WITH THAT BIG AXE (computers,moniters,MODEM,disks his cosz
chair ect.) then
go home and call the bbs to see if it is still running. (unless your totally

TRUE MORTIFICATION: AT&T mailed information on their "True Rewards"
program to 175,000 customers. But when patrons called the printed
toll-free number to get details, they were greeted with "Are you
ready to get naked? If you want hardcore, uncensored, explicit sex
now, then come and -- mmmmm -- take it!" Apparently, a printing error
substituted AT&T's number for a phone sex number. "People have been
calling and expressing their dissatisfaction," an AT&T spokeswoman
noted. But not everyone is dissatisfied: "It hasn't been bad for
business," said a spokeswoman for Amtec Communications, the company
that provides the phone sex service. (AP) ...No, really: I'm just
calling so I can get more frequent flyer miles.
[Here's some article I found in the Corpus Christi Caller Times...]
The classic victims of service automation are probably telephone operators. At
one time, every call required a human switch, but then, as calling volumes
surged, massive automation was required. The number of operators has dropped
to 60,000 from 250,000 in 1956 and is still dwindling; in the past 15 months
alone, AT&T Corp. has slashed its total by 25 percent. The sheer pace of
automation takes its toll. "It seems like every day they're telling us there
is something new to 'mech,'" says Addie Brinkley, an AT&T operator since 1957
in Modesto, California.

were tons oh people having fun, laughing [Cand screaming I noticed things. On
one court there were around 12 blacks and no whites. On the other court there
were 6 whites and no blacks. Side by side there they were all having fun, but
not true interaction. Each side played their games and had fun.
Standing around I noticed there were only two watching, out of around
about 50, that were mixing. My and another black girl. Every now and then I
looked at the blacks staring at me in wonder, and I even got the sane looks
from the whites too. But the most beautiful thing I noticed that GOD was

Lestat
Well, I see you still have that line noise, huh? NO, I wasn't angry, and I
didn't cut you off, I guess that call waiting or line noise finally got the
best of our comm programs, cause it cut us off automatically.
No problem here, I just couldn't figure out why I was getting a ring, ring from
your phone. I should have gotten a busy signal. See, the problem is that we
have a VERY hostile user here that we deleted a couple of months ago, and she
is still trying to call in under fake accounts. That is why I was checking to
see if you were calling from your phone, I am too cheap to get caler ID. :)
[And the hostile user in question, of course, is Martini. Scott's big
security thing is calling up a user while they're on the phone to see
if the phone is busy, just to make sure it's really them. Since a lot
of people don't want to tie up their phone, they get booted off when
Scott does this. So that's what their private mail looks like. After
I was deleted, I logged back on to ask why. Here's what I wrote and
also the responses that I got from both Chatty & Scott The Believer.]

I don't know why he thinks he is so cool... Oooooh wow, a $60,000 house,
yipee, our house cost $220,000. He's probably just trailer trash bull
shitting his way around to boost his ego. Most likely he has low self esteem
and calling people childish names, and other frivolish words makes him feel
strong, so just let him do his little thing. People get their kicks in
awkward ways. Although his isn't awkward, it's just flat out pathetic. Hey
hit man, you should go to this party coming up on Saturday, then see how tough
you are... It's just an invitation, not a threat.

Please be honest-dont say because your an Asshole, Fuckhead...etc
I want to know what I did! Why are YOU so mad, or maybe your not mad
but what did I do that was so bad? I did not brag, everyone was telling

that?
Wheres the party? My dogs are tough tho, but a gun does do a better job!

You guys want to know how much of a man hit man really is? He says, go
ahead, i'd like to see you fuck with me. Then everyone fucks with him, and he
runs to the police or FCC who ever and crys. No only that, but he is so much
of a man, he had his wife call my house. Not him his WIFE. HAHAHAH, that's a
real man if I've ever seen one.
37/39: crys
Name: The Hit Man #27

I wasnt crying, My wife called you on her own! I wasnt even there.
See I want you to realize something-Every action has a reaction!
Did you think I would stand by and do NOTHING! I dont have anything against
the PLA or anyone of you BBSers. You did something and I did something.
I am not going to do anything else, I should act my age and not bring myself
so low. Yes I was being immature. So what-You are doing the same thing,
but thats not right, I will stop and I have stopped. I just want you all to
realize that.

I wasn't being immature. I was not pranking you, or chatty or whoever. I
don't know how your lovely wife even got my number, I don't know why your wife
even had anything to do with me. Of course she didn't. But I think she's
very manly. Especially when she hung up on me.

Shes not here to defend herself but I dont know what went on. Whatever
happened already happened. Its over, who cares. Life goes on.
-She told me you hung up on her- Whats it matter Martini-forget it
33/34: ok Let me clear some things up now

The people I saw on welfare where drinking outside there house and would
be up at midnight drunk walking the streets. NOt everyone on WElfare is
doing it but some are. Another thing I did work for a farm(Keller farms)
and would 10 hour days. Horse Radish fields, hay bails, etc... Also
I know what hard work is! I was in A Bootcamp for 4 months where I chopped
down trees for 8 hours-I got blisters at first but not after a few weeks
of it. Hard work got me to where I am today! Making you all mad was that
one part I still need to work on, I like pissing people off and it is
a part of me I dont like, It may
34/34: It may
Name: The Hit Man #27
Date: Sat Aug 05 12:22:39 1995
Getting too long....It may have something to do with my job, Always being
nice and hearing people bitch all the time but I am who I am.
Well I guess I will talk to you later. C-YA
[Notice a slight change in attitude from just a few weeks. You can feel
him beginning to break down... For some reason, Hitman kept e-mailing
me as unknown. Here is a poor attempt at an apology by him in private
e-mail on Bogus Journey...]
(1/1): No Im sont
Name: UNKNOWN
Date: UNKNOWN
I mean no Im not! If someone came to my house they would be, but I never
threatened anyONE! I want to say Im Sorry for whatever I did to YOU
RBCP- Im sorry-ok-Im not looking for anything in return but I just want you
to understand that I guess Im just too GOOD at the BASHING SUB-
Boy did I piss somepeople off just by bashing them on a BASHING SUB!
Well I guess I will talk to you soon.
C-YA
[He's not sorry, he's just sick of us harrassing his co-workers.
And my reply...]
[---=----=----=----=----=--=----=----]----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----]
Private annonymous e-mail isn't good enough. A public post, preferably on
Martini's BBS, at LEAST one paragraph long and apologizing not only to me, but
Martini, the PLA(H) and everybody else you threatened.
40/40: so the hit man decides to finally call back...
Name: Redboxchilipepper #11
Date: Sun Aug 06 09:26:18 1995
I thought he'd just contiune to be sneak and fool us by calling in as the
Pepsi Man, but I guess not. It certainly is amazing how his attitude towards
us has changed in just a few weeks. He can be as nice as he wants to now, but
I still remember the posts that said, "FUCK YOU BABIES! Bring it on, I'll
fucking shoot you all! You're all talk! You'll never do anything. You'll never
get my info. I'm flying down to Texas to kill you both!" Hmmmm, should I show
mercy? I think not. Have a nice life, Hitman. You know you're lucky that the
Ameritech office is so busy lately and I'm too impatient to sit around on hold
for you. But just wait... You made a major mistake.
Perhaps a public apology, a few paragraphs long, similar to STB's would change
my mind...
49/50: My conversation with Mrs. Hit Man.
Name: Martini #177 @6851
Date: Mon Aug 07 01:41:29 1995
Mrs. Hit Man: I have a proof that you've been pranking me, blah blah blah,
hacking bbses blah blah blah, 42 calls have orginated from your house telling
me that my husband will pay, blah blah blah.
Martini: go to hell
Mrs. Hit Man: OH that's it, I'm calling the FCC NOW! (click)
It was amusing.
50/50: who has 42 calls
Name: The Hit Man #370 @6851

I will not go to your level and prank you! If(And I am Saying IF)
I did anything it would be to go to your house and shit on your face!
Again it IF I did anything witch I wont-YOu are not worth my time anymore
ok Budweiser! Hasta Manana
Enter message now, max lines are 60
Enter '/HELP' for help.
[---=----=----=----=----=----=----=----]----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----]
Nope, that's not it, Hit Man. It's not that you don't want to go down to her
level, it's just that you know whatever you do will come back on you 100 times
worse. That's really it, isn't it? You know, for supposedly being 21, you're
not that bright.
[Finally, on August 7th, he called my bbs under the false alias of
Marlboro Man and we got to chat, face to face...]
ME: Why?
HM: I have no reason-just wanted to ask what yoyu where talking to me about
earlier when I couldnt respond
ME: I was just trying to annoy you but you put me on hold on two lines at
once. That's never happened to me before.
HM: I am sorry it gets busy around here-like right now I am on the phone with
one of my guests
ME: I could help you! I'll forward all of your calls somewhere else so
somebody else can answer the phone for you. Deal?
HM: Well I cant do that then I will lose alot ob business
ME: No you won't, I'll talk to your customers for you! I'll get things
straigtened out over there.
HM: Ok sure no really I wish I could but it wouldnt be good,
ME: Well, I like surprising people and maybe I'd do it anyways just as a
surprise to help you..
HM: Wow you will help me-WHY?
ME: I'm a nice guy.
HM: I am sure you are-but I got the wrong impression then-I thought you didnt
like me?
ME: Of course I like you. I just think you should go public with a big apology
to everybody and that would settle everything!
HM: Well I am not the only one that should be apoligizing then, What about all
the bullshit eveyone else said, I was only responding back to them
ME: Well, how about a big public apology to me then for threatening to fly
down to Texas and rape my girlfriend and shoot me?
HM: Ok I am sorry about that=-I went balistic for a min. That was over the
phone
ME: I know it's over the phone I still have the recordings. Anyways, I was
saying a PUBLIC post apology and I might leave you alone, just like Scott.
HM: You have me email-why not post it-You must have captured it
ME: Of course, but it wouldn't be as personal.
HM: ok I gotcha I will apologize to you personally, it wasnt a cool thing to
do but as for everyone else they need to apologize to or I will just stop
its over and done with but I will apologize to you public to show no hard
feelings
ME: On Martini's bbs too. And the other people who've bothered you have
nothing to do with me. They can prank you, but I can send your calls to
Sweeden or turn off your line or ship toilets COD.
HM: I understand-pranks are no big deal I have *69 or traceing going on, wont
work for you since your out of state but I can deal with it, I will say
sorry to you and to your girlf=riend- also how did youu know this acout
was me?
ME: It was quite obvious. But the dead givaway was when you accidentally used
the password UBITCH one day.
HM: oh yes I remember, well I have so many I didnt know what I used, Good
memory how did you know that password, Martini TOLD YOU- SEE that is
bogus-for real
ME: What's bogus? I have sysop access there.
HM: Nevermind, I didnt know that, Nvermind- I see you got your own sub now
ME: Of course, I made it myself this morning out of boredom. I have to go
wax my shoes now.
[Looks like he was about to go off about sysops giving out personal info
and try to say I'm no better than Scott The Believer until I told him I
had sysop access there. UBITCH is the password he used on Cocktail Lounge
and he accidentally used it on his fake account on my board so that's
what he was talking about there. A mere 15 minutes later, I called
Martini's BBS to find the following public post...]
Name: The Hit Man #27
Date: Mon Aug 07 20:21:13 1995
I want to apoligize to RBCP and his girlfriend for some things I said over the
phone. I was having a bad day I guess and will publicly say IM Sorry. Also I
want to say Sorry for some of the things I said to RBCP over posts. The
Bashing got pretty heavy and I think it got out of control.
Talk to you all Later
[Here is what I replied with...]
[-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------]
Ha, what a dork. He thinks it's that easy just because it was for Scott The
Believer. That little chat session you had, Hit Man, was with my eight year
old little brother and I beat him up for making you think that'd I'd actually
ever leave you alone for a minute. Wait, I don't have an eight year old little
brother so that must have been me.
Nah.... I don't thinkthat apology sounded very sincere. I think not. Nope, Hit
Man, you're in for a life of misery. Sorry, no soap. Maybe next time you won't
be so stupid. I'll upload a copy of my chat log with Hit Man in it and the
funny e-mail he sent me on here after he wrote this message so everyone else
can enjoy it, too. He actually asked me to erase his info from when I posted
it awhile back. Hmmmm, let me see if I can figure out the commands to do that.
[Then, just to be mean, I accidentally post that ANSI again with all of
his personal information on it. When I had first logged on there, I had
gotten the this mail from Hit Man...]
(2/2): ok I got one request
Name: The Hit Man #27
Date: Mon Aug 07 20:11:55 1995
Please Delete my info posted on the 2 subs(or anywhere else you posted it)
The HIt Man
[And the Hit Man story has ended. Not exactly a good apology compared to
Scott The Believer's, but hey, he tried, right? I really have no
intentions of spending all my free time bothering this guy so Hit Man,
don't worry about me unless I get REALLY bored. Apology not accepted, I
just have better things to do. It's hard to believe all this shit happened

[Feel the cheese, feel the lameness of this total wanna-be phreaker bbs. I
ask you, what kind of real phreak bbs voice validates their users??
(Not counting Celco51, of course..ahem) I've bbsed all over the country,
seen just about every level of lameness you can imagine, but this is
absolutely the worst "phreak" bbs I've ever come across, even worse than
my own. And the sad thing is that I had a hard time getting access to it
and I finally had to resort to using a fake alias. A few years ago I had
called this board when it was called The Hacker's Union and it was sort
of lame back then but at least the sysop didn't try to mislead everyone
into thinking it was a big-time hacker bbs. The sysop's name is Phillip
Wool, alias Mr. Hack aka LXVXN and totally not liked by pretty much
the entire 618 area code. I was at one time last year considered a "good
citizen" but just to see if I could stir things up, I left Zak a piece
of e-mail on his bbs:
Attr : Read
To : Zak #19
From : Redboxchilipepper #59
Date : Sat Dec 10 1994 02:22 pm PST
Hey, Zak, I think I've just about had it with this board. First, the sysop, Mr.
Hack starts hacking the users' accounts and now he's switching to lame VBBS and
not giving you access. Mr. Hack's lame questions about ESS are more than
annoying. I think maybe I'll call the Ameritech billing office there and shut
off his line, his parent's line and his grandparents line. Then I'll blow up
his house. Gee, I hope he's not watching right now. Man, this is about the
lamest, wanna-be hacker board I've ever seen in my life. "Hey, RBCP, keep
uploading those k-k-k-k-kool text files 'cause you seem to know what you're
talking about" Stupid Mr. Hack. Let's set his dad's car on fire. A wire from
the back tail light into the gas tank does wonders.
Oh well, talk to you later. I'll probably call back this lame board again
tomorrow just for the comic relief. Later! *RBCP* Roy!
[Heh, looking at the date in that mail, I realized that I wrote that
mail while I was in Austin, Texas from one of the pay phones in the
airport. A few months before, while I was living in Portland, Oregon,
Zak had called up the phone company and ordered Call Waiting on Mr.
Hack's board line. Normally a sysop (even a stupid one) would figure
this out within a day, but it took Mr. Hack over a month to realize
what someone had done. Even with all the users, including myself,
sending him pissed off feedback asking why we always get hung up on
when we call. It wasn't until his phone bill arrived with that extra
monthly charge on it that he figured something wasn't right. After he'd
figured out that I'd turned on him, he deleted me and blacklisted my
alias from his board so I sent him netmail from another system:
Hi Mr. Hack!
Hey, did I ever tell you that I'm thinking of becomming a psychic? Let me try
this out on you...I predict a horrible twisted fate on your fone line. It will
happen soon and would have already happened but somebody has been too busy
lately doing other bad things....I'm pretty good, eh? I should get my own 900
number? Better yet, get YOU a 900 that I could have access to and you can't.

[Right after I wrote that, he e-mailed Andromeda (the sysop of Bogus
Journey) and asked her if he could have all of the personal info she
had on me. She was amused by this and forwarded the mail to me. After
all that I kind of lost touch with the whole Mr. Hack thing until just
last month when someone told me that he was "wanting to get Zak and
RBCP because they're always making fun of me." (I don't think this
issue is going to make him too happy then.) So here's what Mr. Hack's
new & improved phreeker board looks like. We'll start with the user

[It has always been my opinion that any phreak bbs with any kind of
status should never be allowed to have a user who goes by the alias
of Bucky the Wonder Plumber. Note how elite they are by using only
the lower case i's when they type in all caps! And their user list
boasts users from as far away as Florissant, Missouri. (Right across
the river) I logged on as a new user under the name of Brain Strats
and the alias Fed Clad Madagascar (and yes, Chris Tomkinson, I
ripped that off from YOU!) Here's the feedback I left...]

Hi, I'm calling you from highland. I'm looking for files called PLA because I
heard there was some sort of story on highland in there. Have you heard of it?
Do you know how to get axcess on Roy's place? The sysop there wont give me
axcess but i don't know why. He seems like a dick. I'm really into the
phreaking thing and i used to hhack but lost my phhone line and hhaven't much
gotten into it lately. so i'm sort of behind the times. I have a recording of
pay phones tones that lets me get free calls on some pay phones in town, but
not all of them.
hhmmm, what else? Not much, I'm 20 years old and looking for contacts, I guess.
do you know a way to dial long distance for free? I think this call costs money
from highland, but I'm not sure about that one. Also, have you ever heard of
me? I haven't bbsed in over a year and I mostly called Fantasy Island and Tower
of power. I don't know of any other hpvac boardrs. there's NO bbses in
Highhland. it really sucks here. I don't have many warez, just a few games but
they're not exactly 0day. I'm more interested in getting to know the switching
systems in your town. Ours is lame, very old and outdated but at least we have
caller I.D. (before you guys even did!) ha! catch ya later!
ohh one more thing...I have lots of anarchy/hhack/phreak files that I got from
a board in st. louis awhile back. They're sort of old but could be good for
historical purposes if you want.
[I tried to go for the innocent, good guy type of attitude. Soon after I
logged on he broke in for chat (always home, go figure!) and started
asking me questions about myself. He said before I was validated he'd have
to talk to me voice and I told him that I'd tapped into the line of the
hair salon downstairs and was using their line so he couldn't call me
voice and the dork actually believed me! I turned on the capture file
half way through the chat so here's more or less what was said...]
(chat mode with Mr. Hack, already in progress...)
I think it's because i'm actually in GTE territory and we're on an old crappy
switch still. I heard you guys got upgraded a couple years back but I didn't
hear which kind of switch. Do you know if it was 5ESS?
Yes, I believe thats it! YOu seem to know of phones fairly well, am I speaking
to a phreek?
[Of course, he has no idea about anything to do with switches, he's just
read about the 5ESS in all his "anarchy files" and recognized the name.]
But of course. I really haven't been into it for a long time. my friend
started my interest because he had a blue box that really worked but they're
trash now. I have a tape recording of red box tones that I use all the time
for LD from pay phones. (it's loud but it works!)
I can't get a tape recorded tone to work, but when you drop a quarter in the
phone with the volume up all of the way, you can here the CHirP!-CHiRP-CHiRP-
CHirp-... I swear!
Yeah, it's like that on a few phones around here. you're not supposed to be
able to hear that but you do.
I tried building a redbox with a tone dialer, but phucked up when soldering, a
and now I have a 15.00 peice of-crap-tonedialer, and a boken 6.5536 MHz
crystall.
[This guy actually bought the $15 model?? Good luck with those nickels!]
Those actually work? I heard about those but thhought the article was bullshit.
you could just put the tone dialer together and say it doesn't work and they'd
probably give you a new one.
Problem is, everything is on a computer.. they'd send it back, see that it had
been tampered with, then give me a call. I wouldn't get away with it. My
phriends think I'm paranoid. my being paranoid will save my back! I mean, you
can't live dangerously forever.
True, better paranoid than caught. Like uh, you could buy a new one under a
false name and take THAT one back. I dunno, just buy a new one a try again i
guess.
Oh. well, I am probably John Q. Mostpopularcustomer at radio shaq. They like
for me to come in, cause I always buy a shitload of expensive electronics.
[I almost lost it right there. I just wanted to tell him right there that
he was stupid, but I held back. He finally decided that since I'm so
"knowledgable" about them phones, he'd give me access to see the messages
and to download those froody PLA files I'd heard so much about. My main
concern was finding a lot of posts that I could capture and laugh at but
nobody posts there. Well... there's a few that are worth seeing, but not
much. Each sub had a total of about five posts. The only sub that had a
lot of messages in it was the System Announcements sub. So here they are.
To conserve space, I took out most of the indents, spaces and signatures.]

How To Piss Off RedBoxChiliPepper - by Colleen Card
1. Call up his board and page him to chat. Then if he ever does chat with
you type in all CAPS or lower case. (Actually this would probably bug
alot of people.)
2. Call up his house day and night and ask to borrow cans of Spam, cups of
suger, and other stupid things that aren't funny just lame!
3. Call his house and tell him Zak is coming to visit AAAAARRRRRRGGGGG!
4. Drop by his house unexpectedly alot and time him on how fast it takes to
open the door.
5. Mail him a HUGE box full of styrafome.
6. E-Mail him Ansi.
7. Take a few days off work to stay home and watch the Sesame Street 72 hour
marathon. (He get's bored after the first 24 hours.)
What The Community Is Saying About PLA!
And This Issue's Feature Loser/Dork/Gimp is...
ANDY BABIN!
Who Is Andy Babin and How Did He Cross Paths With PLA?:
ANDY: "You know, I could shoot a chocolate chip off the tip of your penis from
a thousand yards?!"
RBCP: "What??"
ANDY: "You heard me."
RBCP: "Uhhh, Andy? That really wasn't that funny, I think you need to work on
that one or something."
ANDY: "But it's true, though!"
I never did figure that one out so the next day I ask my friend in e-mail about
Andy and I get the following reply: (More of a thesis than a reply if you ask
me!)How Can I Get In Touch With Andy Babbin?:
