- ***MAN EATEN BY LARGE CANOE***
- (APWN)Quinektukut-- Holy Fuckin Shit!
- Those tiny little waves wailed on me.
- The boy scouts taught me how to paddle on a lake. I was NOT prepared for my
- canoe ride in Mystic Harbour this morning. Not at all.
- I think I travelled about 800 feet in an hour flat. My hands are still soaki
- wet. Wet from all the hard splash I had to do just to keep inside the Grumman.
- I'm facing away from this post I tied onto.
- I am going NOWHERE.
- Yet this landlubber still must look back behind him to reassure he's not
- going to smash into the pole he's tied onto.
- Pure science is that he's being pulled away from the post constantly.
- However eyes and settling stomach tell him the opposite.
- You look down beside you and you're travelling about 3 MPH backwards. Look
- anywhere else, you're going nowhere fast.
- Triceps are severely pumped. Feet and ankles are torn to shreds. Driving an
- '87 Chevy S-10, you dont know what a struggle is.
- Step onto the back of this Canoe and I will relax in front of you...
- watching. Waiting patiently as you throw your paddle around fighting the
- quarter-inch waves.
- Humbling.

- I'm sick and foggin tired of catagorizations and compartmental- izations.
- This is one of the few (3 or 4) negative things I've seen to come from
- computer use/abuse/consumption/ digestion.
- "Do you use a commodore or an atari?" was the common thought among 8bitters.
- It hasnt stopped. In fact, even between the 16/32's like the ST or the Amoeba,
- you see a lot of infighting. Is your modem Hayes or blah mode? 12 or 24 hundre
- nibbles per nanosecond? Is your screen 80 or 132 column?
- Even among the elite, I have seen some stupid generalizations/judgments/
- eyeball-chewing. Are you a hacker or a phreaker? Telenet or Tymnet? Unix or
- Zenix?
- What this essay is trying to get across by the end of its writing is this: I
- DOESNT FUGGIHM MATTER!!!
- I've seen a bright individ on an apple 2+ get more resultz on my BBS than an
- Amy 2000er!!! I've seen an 8bitter do power-more than your basic mac 2 freak.
- Cygnus has a good analagy for us all. It aint the machine, says he. It's th
- operator. I wonder if he still feels that way now that he's moved from his cp/
- on up to the amy 500???
- I bought my first computator for one thing only. WP!!! (word processing). It
- was a portable computer that I could bring to the ball park, jot down a few
- things, and then go home and print it out.
- Then I got a desktop kind of thing that could rest at home, and be there whe
- I wake up. Sort of like a wife. Hmmm. Somewhere before that, I already found
- how I could get the two together. Then along came a nice 3/12 modem for my
- desktop. Thanks to that educated 60 dollar decision, I can now grab a soda at
- that ballpark, and set my laptop on the payphone and send the stuff to my
- desktop.
- Something I want you to work on.
- STOP FIGHTING AMONGST YOURSELVES AND START MOVING TECHNOLOGY FORWARD instead
- of worrying whether someone is a commie/atarian/amoebite/applehead/ Ibeamer.

- CITICORPSE. A COMPANY WITH
- NO RAISEN D'ETRE.
- ()--------------------------
-
- Citibank has purchased the First Republic Bank Delaware for 158MIL.
- They closed their venture capital unit in California in may and are now
- reorganizing into two unita: venture capital, and leveraged buyouts.
- For the year 1987 their operating expenses was 8M. They paid 15.5M in
- interest against interest income of 22M. Other income was 6 against 4.5 in
- expenses.
- For some strange reason, their taxable income was only $240 thousand dollars
- Citibank declared a net loss of $1,138,000 for '87!!! Citibank owes 12
- thousand to repurchase agreements, 11K to borrowed funds, 16K to their parent
- company, Citicorpse, 5K to their subsidiaries.
- According to sources, Citibank is party to various viscious lawsuits.
- Citibank's '87 loan loss provision was increased almost 2 1/2 times what it
- was in 1986, reflecting the uncertainty of fully collecting loans made to the
- 3rd world. The allowance for loan losses went from 1.2 billion to 4 billion
- dollars.
- And the man responsible for all this? John S. Reed. Call him up on the
- tellie and let him know what you think of how he's helped America get from a 1
- trillion dollar debtor nation to a 2.6 trillion debtor in just 7 years!!!

- ..............................
- I would like to introduce myself, you might have wondered who I was, or what
- relation I had to ATI. Not much actually, as a friend of Prime anarchist's and
- as a fellow telecom weirdo, I saw and helped edit some of the issues (and lose
- a few of them to the magical wonder of the disk god, only to be resurected
- using the help of the disk sector editor ...Number 9....Number 9.... ).
- I am not politically active, I am not socially active either. I proscribe to
- no particular ideology,philosophy, or religion. I simply observe things that I
- experience and try to understand them objectively (or subjectively ,depending
- on what mood I am in). You will be seeing alot of me in upcoming issues. I
- hope to display pros and cons of differant beliefs. I wish to warn you though,
- I have one simple belief.
- 1) Its my undying opinion that all
- people can do lots of damage to
- everything, armed with the faith
- that what they are doing is for
- the greater good.
-
- At first I didn't want this job. But in the end Prime bribed me, drugged me,
- and finally convinced me using the help of some girls, a goat, and a vat of
- vanilla pudding.
- If you want to send me questions, drugs, marriage proposals, bomb threats
- or small furry animals by the name of Fred . Please send them to address
- located at front of this file. Please include your name (or reasonable
- facsimile) with any question or opinion so I will know who to insult, praise,
- or forbid my children from marrying

- where you are right now,

- ONCE AGAIN MY SPACE IS GIVEN AWAY
- TO THE HAPPY HACKER(412)
-
- Ever call a commercial chat line and hear a rather large number of male
- rather outgoing female on the line and why she was sooo friendly?
- The reason is simple. Usually in these situations the one outgoing,
- slightly seductive female voice you hear belongs to a woman who is paid to
- monitor these chat lines, but is also required to double as an actress, to
- pretend to be a regular caller on the line, and to coax male callers, through
- any methods needed, to stay on the line longer.
- Here, I give you an ATI first. Here I will publish exerpts from an employ-
- ees' manual which is distributed to female employees of a chat line company
- which operates chat lines all over the US, and abroad. Read on..
-
- CHARACHTER PROFILE
-
- ALWAYS choose your opening charachter before opening your key!
-
- Your voice tone and charachter should match. Don't change names without
- changing your voice.If you're working with another monitor, you should listen
- for key phrases. Your charachter profile should be AUTHENTIC. You should
- remember EVERYTHING about your charachter profile. This includes voice tone,
- charachter's description and anything else you may have said about your
- charachter to a caller. We recommend that you keep a notebook of charachters
- you play.
-
- Examples of opening phrases:
- 1. Hi! My name is Peter Rabbit. 2. What's Happening!
- 3. Anybody out there? I'm sooooo lonely
- 4. Hey, Hey, Hey!
- 5. Help! Help!
- 6. Yo Baby, Yo Baby, Yo!
- 7. Hey, What's hoppin'?
- 8. I'm looking for a new love..
- 9. Yo! Anybody there?
- 10. Good Morning!
- 11. What's it to ya..
- 12. Helloooooooo..
- 13. I'm going to sing if you don't talk
- to me (then sing if they don't)
- 14. Hey this is (Your charachter name),
- Im looking for (Anybody), what am I
- going to do??
-
- INTERACTING WITH ANOTHER MONITOR
-
- This technique takes concentration. You must key in on certain phrases and
- build either toward it, around it, or take it somewhere else.If you change
- directions altogether, you must be aggressive.
-
- Interacting examples:
-
- If you're talking on the line with three men and another monitor enters and
- says, "Help, help!", if the callers don't respond, you would say: "What's
- that? Wait, did you hear that?"
-
- Monitor #1: What's wrong?
- Monitor #2: My husband tied me to the bed!
- Monitor #1: What! Is he a maniac?
- Monitor #2: Yes! I am afraid he is going to kill me!
- Monitor #1: Wait a minute, lady. How did you dial here?
- Monitor #2: (Crying and sobbing loudly) I dialed with my nose!
-
-
- WHEN TO TALK EXPLICITLY AND WHEN NOT TO
-
- Talking seductively requires a certain amount of finesse. You can talk this
- way without ever having to say anything sexual. There are different technique
- that you can use. We do not want to come across as telephone whores!
- There are some key phrases that will let you know when and if the client
- wants to talk explicitly.
-
- Seductive Examples:
- 1. What are you wearing?
- 2. Are you in bed?
- 3. Are you alone?
- 4. Do you like to talk dirty?
- 5. Do you like sex?
- 6. What do you do for fun?
- 7. Are you playing with yourself?
- 8. What do you like a woman/man to do for you in bed?
-
- These phrases will help you to know when to talk expilicitly about sex. If
- you start talking seductively and the caller hangs up, when he calls back,
- change characters and DON'T talk seductively. When you do realize that the
- caller is seeking that type of conversation, select the appropriate technique.
-
-
- WHEN TO AND WHEN NOT TO DISCONNECT A
- CALLER
-
- 1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT CHILDREN OFF ALL ADULT LINES without being rude. However,
- always mention they should call the TEEN line.
- 2. If a caller is talking sexually on the TEEN line, disconnect them AFTER
- mentioning they should call an adult line.
- 3. Do not disconnect callers because you do not like them. You are being
- paid to talk to the clients, not to have personal likes or dislikes for them.
- 4. Sometimes hecklers are fun. They brighten up the lines. Use your
- instincts and common sense, to decide whether it is appropriate at the time.
-
- Example: Heckler
- A person tries to take down a phone number and someone is shouting or singing
- while they are trying to do so, or someone is calling a name over and over,
- disrupting all conversation.
-
-
- VOICE QUALITY
-
- Charachters should be full in every aspect. Practice your voices until they
- are perfected. Concentrate on your voice control, voice tone, pitch, and also
- practice changing your pitch from high to low, and your voice tone from soft t
- caorseness, if possible.
- For those who have difficulty changing voices, try to think of it as
- singing, working with the scale: "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do".
- Change your voice any way possible- High, Low, Soft, Loud, Coarse,
- Trembling, Squeaky, with accents..... etc.- ANY WAY YOU LIKE- Just be
- different.
-
- TRAINING SUMMARY
-
- At the end of this training program, each monitor should be confident that
- he/she could have any customer calling back as many times as possible.
- You've learned every technique available about how to control your calls to
- the point that you know who's calling back and who isn't. You want EVERYONE t
- CALL BACK.
- Monitors who aren't able to get call backs will need to work harder at thei
- conversation. Remember, the final goal is to get call backs. caller not
- responding to your conversation quickly enough, get out of that charachter, an
- try another. You are selling a phone conversation, so your sales pitch is ver
- important.
-
-
- ****END OF TRAINING MANUAL EXERPTS*****
-
- Neat, huh? Many of the women you hear on these chat lines are simply
- paidto keep men on the line. Paid to feign interest in the callers, paid to
- coax male callers into staying on the line and calling back in the future. An
- yes, expected to talk very explicitly and even participate in phone sex and
- "domination" routines with the male callers, if the callers request it.
- In our age of crass commercialism, it's not surprising to see yet another
- form of human exchange, like the concept of a simple chat line, become
- prostituted in this fashion.
- Ah, the frontiers of free enterprise...
