Wow. That last issue was a rush, wasn't it? No? Well it was to
me. I could feel all this power rushing through my fingers. It
was amazing. Actually, I'm lying. It was really boring and I'll
never do it again.
Well, a lot of stuff has happened since the last issue, which I'm
not going to tell you about. Okay, maybe a little. It involved
me doing stuff, and then thinking to myself that I won't tell
anyone about it. You know what? This intro has just become one big
waste of your and my time. It's junk. Forget it. I promise the next
issue will be better.

It all started when I was on the internet, looking at old PLA
issues, when I suddenly thought, "Hey, why don't I look at
some online manga." So I was trying to think of some good sites,
when I remebered the shirt that Vampyre Prince wore to school
once. It was for some site called megatokyo.com (sounds like a
porn site). I'm like, "Eh, I'll give it a try." I typed in the
address and started looking at the issues. It's about these two
guys who are stuck in Japan trying to make their way back to the
U.S.A. After reading a few, a famous quote of Tony the Tiger pops
into my head.

But seriously, you've got to check it out. It's made buy some dude
named Fred Gallagher who's American. If didn't know better, I would
have sworn it was authentic manga. Another one that's relatively
similar is made by this little black kid who looks like Gary Coleman.
It's at rpgworldcomic.com, and it's pretty good as well.
Uh, oh! Here it comes.
My rating!
After much consideration, here are the two comics' scores:
Mega Tokyo: ***** RPG World: ***
They have awesome clothing and stuff there, as well. d0 j00 5p34|< l33t?
After reading MT, you'll start calling all of your bad days, "Dead Piro
Days." Read and find out.
To quote Uncle, "One more thing..." There's a magazine out there called
Shonen Jump, which I recomend any "real manga" fans to pick up a copy,
but if you really are a "real manga" fan, then you should already have
it. Mmm...Shaman King, One Piece, and Hikaru No Go...
Thank you, and drive home safely. Coco Puffs.

I briefly mentioned in the last issue that red boxing STILL works, and
I think I will elaborate on that subject a bit.
Everyone I've talked to has told me that red boxing was dead, they
changed the tones, it doesn't work anymore, etc... and I just would
argue with them telling them that they were wrong. No one would believe
me. Then one day at school, my friend who's now moved, which I shall
call Fatty-Fatty-Boom-Ba-Latty, brought in a digital recorder. We had
some fun with it. He'd record (ahead of time) something like, "Are you
gay?" And then go up to someone and ask them if the sky was blue. Most
of them would say yes (except for the Roman Retards), that way when it
was played back, It's sound like that person admitting they were gay.
I had known about recorder red boxes long before he brought his in, but
I had never thought of it until one morning I came in, and I saw him
with Atticus and Vampyre Prince. Fatty said that he was going to need
help recording the tones, so Atticus was given a quarter, was breifed
on what to do, and then told to wait by the fone.
Then the three of us went down to the other fone, which was pretty far
away, called up the fone, blah, blah, blah, you know how it goes. Then
Fatty tried to box a call, and the tones didn't work. He tried it several
more times, and still, the same thing. He eventually gave up and said that
it must not work anymore. I knew this couldn't be true, so on my birthday
I went out and got my own recorder from Rat Shack, and recorded tones of
my own. They failed to work for me too.
After all that, I tried to find info on the web to see what I was doing
wrong. Almost all of the stuff I was getting was like ten years old. The
new stuff I did find kept saying that red boxing was dead; gone the way
of the blue box. I eventually gave up all hope of getting my box to work.
I was really depressed and I mainly just sat around, watching T.V. and
eatting Coco Puffs. I got fired from my job at Burger King because I
kept showing up late, smelling of tears and sad manga. I eventually got
out of my rut, started bathing again. I even got my job back. I was doing
pretty good. I hadn't used or even looked at a fone during my depression,
until one day, when I was walking at school with Atticus, and he stopped
and picked up the reciever on the payfone. I asked him what he was doing,
and he said he was using the fone. I asked him if he could do that. He
just looked at me funny and said yeah.
After that, I slowly started using fones again. I eventually got to the
point were I would use them every day. It was great.
I was online, just surfing, bored, when I decided to go to textfiles.com
I had gotten over my fone handicap, so I decided to look for phreaking
groups. I came across PLA, which was nothing new to me. I had heard of
them before, and I always thought they were like some global l33t hardcore
phreaking society that had little sub groups set up in each area code
of the USA (wouldn't that be cool?!? Mass take-over!!), but I had never
actually read any of there stuff.
After reading the first issue, I quickly downloaded all of their philes,
took them home, and read them all. I soon after went to their site, which
I had always been unable to do before because I tried it at the library,
and they had it blocked, and that was before I knew how to circumvent their
software, but anyway, I quickly discovered the section entitled "Red Boxing
for Dummies." I just thought it would be the same info in PLA issue #2, but
it wasn't.
It turned out the entire time I could have been red boxing, if only I had
known about the mouthpiece filters. You just have to do the whole process
through the operator. Armed with this information, I downloaded the tones,
burned them to disc, and made my very own CD-Red Box.
My friend CooKoo encourages you to all go out and do the same thing. Oh yeah,
and read the disclaimer at the top.

I have nothing else to put in here, so here's an old phile I've had for
a while (poetry?) that I guess I'll just throw in as filler. Enjoy.
*** 9v busy box ***
by: Captain B
This easy to build box is my own creation: The 9 volt busy box. It's a
variation on the original busy box, except a 9 volt battery is used to
simulate off hook mode, thereby keeping all phones on that line off hook.
The line will remain off hook until the 9v battery is removed from the
line. To build this, you'll need only a few things: One 9 volt battery, 2
fully insulated alligator clips, 1 phone line cord (Can be a short phone
line cord, too).
How to build: You'll first need to modify the phone line
cord by connecting the alligator clips to end of the red (ring, negative)
and green (tip, positive) wires. My fave to go about this that I think is
a bit of an easier alternative is to buy the screw terminal type alligator
clips from Raddy Shack. It's pretty hard to go wrong on this, becuase they
only sell one size that has the screw terminal on it. (But, you can buy them
2 ways- Pack of 10 not insulated. And, Pack of 4 with red and black colored
insulation sleeves). The insulation is needed. Without it, you run the
possibilty of getting an electric shock when you touch the alligator clips
while connected to a phone line, or other electrical source.
The best way to go as far as a line cord goes is to get Rad Shack's short
5 1/4" modular line cord to spade lugs. That's their shortest line cord with
spade lugs. (You can go with longer length, or, shorten an existing line cord
you may already have if you like.). These modular to spade lug phone line cords
have a modular plug on 1 end and, little metal U-shaped spade lugs on the other.
Of course, since the color scheme of insulation sleeves are red and black,
you'll need to remember that black represents green (tip). Otherwise, you could
get the proper color insulation sleeves by buying a pack of various color jumper
wires from Radio Hack.
The alligator clips are about the same size as the ones I mentioned, except
the wires and sleeves come in 4 colors: red, black, yellow, and green. (Just
like the standard 2 line home phone wiring color scheme). If you buy that,
use the green colored insulation sleeve in place of black sleeve. It's really
only a matter of color, that's all. Insulation always serves the same purpose
anyway.
Now, take a wire cutter and completely cut off the yellow and black wires. Push
the red colored wire's spade lug through the hole in the back (narrow) end of
the red insulation sleeve, sliding it over the red wire completely. It can be a
bit hard. But, have patience and take your time. Once you're done that, do the
same with the green wire sliding it through the other (green or black) insulation
sleeve.
Loosen the screw on 1 of the alligator clips, and attach the little spade lug
onto the screw. Tighten the screw down snug, and slide the insulation sleeve
over the alligator clip. (Not completely. Leave the metal jaws of the alligator
clip sticking out a bit from the front end of the insulation sleeve). Follow the
same proceedure for the other (green) wire.
Now, onto how to use this: This is the easiest part. Attach the red alligator
clip to the (-) negative terminal on the 9 volt battery. Connect the green wire's
alligator clip to the (+) positive terminal on the battery. Now, plug the other
end of the phone line cord (the modular plug) into a working phone jack. All
phones on that line will now stay off hook even when they're hung up. The one
side effect is that the volume in the reciever speaker on the handset of all
phones on the line may be lower. You can also connect up this box at a TNI or
Telco can, too.
Another variation would be to connect a phone jack to the end of a modular line
cord, and connect red and green jumper cables with alligator clips on both ends
between the battery and the red and green screw terminals inside the jack
connected to the modular phone line cord. Like with a lot of this stuff, there's
more than 1 way to go about it. No matter what, have phun.
