-----> Random Notes from Ground Zero
|
|
By Ground Zero
|
|
|
|
Hey folks! I'm putting up my very own web site soon! Watch for it!
|
|
And now..
|
|
|
|
A Chat with the Phone Man (A work of fiction)
|
|
|
|
|
|
As I sat at the bar, the blue baseball cap sported by one of
|
|
my neighbors' caught my eye. It sported the new Bell Atlantic logo.
|
|
I couldn't resist.
|
|
"Hey, do you work for the phone company?" I asked.
|
|
"Yeah," he answered. "This is the brand-new baseball cap they have.
|
|
I'm one of the very first to get it."
|
|
"So what do you do for them? Repairs, installations?"
|
|
"Yeah, both," he replied. "Been there for a few years."
|
|
"Interesting. I always wanted to work for the phone company.
|
|
Do you like it?" I asked.
|
|
"Yeah, it's fun," he replied, sipping his beer.
|
|
I gulped down the rest of my beer and ordered another one.
|
|
"What's your name?"
|
|
"Keith."
|
|
"Hmm, sounds like fun. I'd love to see what one of those central
|
|
offices looks like from the inside," I mused.
|
|
"Well the public isn't allowed in the central offices."
|
|
"I'm more than just the public," I said, smiling. Keith looked
|
|
at me strangely, trying to discern the significance of my remark.
|
|
"How is it that you're allowed in the central office when your
|
|
job is repairs and installations? You don't need to go to the
|
|
central office to do those things."
|
|
"Because *I* work for the phone company," he replied, grinning.
|
|
"But don't the people at the central office know you don't
|
|
really belong there?
|
|
"Do you have to show them ID?"
|
|
"No, we just walk in."
|
|
"So theoretically I could just walk in one of these central
|
|
offices myself if that's true," I reasoned.
|
|
"What if they ask you who you are and where you work? What would
|
|
you do?"
|
|
"Start running, I guess," I said, laughing.
|
|
"No wait, I got it! I'll just tell them I work with you!
|
|
So what do you do in one of those central offices when you visit one?"
|
|
Keith considered me for a moment. "We just hang out."
|
|
"Really? What do you do then, listen to people's conversations?"
|
|
"Not really."
|
|
"Yeah, I'll bet! I know what you do in there!" I said, teasing him.
|
|
"So Keith, what do you think of hackers?" I asked.
|
|
"Who?"
|
|
"Hackers. You know, people who can get into other people's
|
|
computer systems, including those belonging to the phone company."
|
|
"I never really thought about it. Why?"
|
|
"You should learn about these things if you want to get ahead!
|
|
Don't you want to advance in the company?"
|
|
"Yeah, I'd love to have one of those corner offices," Keith answered.
|
|
"Well, think big! Learn all you can!" The beers were starting
|
|
to kick in. I decided to test Keith's knowlegde. "So do you guys still
|
|
use COSMOS?"
|
|
"No, that hasn't been used in a long time. That's way old. How do
|
|
you know about that? Are you one of them?"
|
|
"One of who?"
|
|
"Hackers."
|
|
"I could be," I said tenatively. "How about LMOS? Do you use that
|
|
or is that outdated by now?"
|
|
"Yeah, we use that."
|
|
"What about REMOBS?"
|
|
"REMOBS?"
|
|
"Never mind," I said, laughing. "You know we know how to
|
|
use loops."
|
|
"Loops? Hey wait a minute. You said 'we''. Who are 'we'?"
|
|
"Fruit Loops," I said, laughing.
|
|
"Yeah, you're a fruit loop all right. But you *looked* like such a
|
|
nice girl!"
|
|
"Appearances can be deceiving, you know. Hey I know what the
|
|
ANAC is. How do you like that?"
|
|
"ANAC, huh. I'm not even going to touch that one!"
|
|
"Yeah, you know, dial 958 and it reads back the number you're
|
|
calling from. The public isn't supposed to know about that! So can you
|
|
get me a test set?"
|
|
"No," Keith said, laughing.
|
|
"How about one of those cool terminals you use?"
|
|
"No, not unless I want to keep my job."
|
|
"You know I'm only kidding, right? How about one of those new
|
|
Bell Atlantic baseball caps? I wouldn't want it for free, I'll give you
|
|
the money if you can buy one for me."
|
|
"No, I had a hell of a time getting one for someone who worked
|
|
for the phone company for over 35 years and is retired now. They're
|
|
that hard to get," Keith replied.
|
|
"Well, that makes me want one all the more!" I ordered another
|
|
beer for myself and one for Keith. I put my arm around him.
|
|
"Keith, stick with me. You'll go straight to the top!"
|
|
|
|

In an unrelated story, Bell Atlantic just announced the cost of a payfone
|
|
call is rising in NJ to 35 cents. What a rip!
|
|
|
|
The new issue of Cybertek has an interesting article on payfones and why
|
|
the red box is going to be obsolete. For more info, see:

See you next time. And remember, Be Creative!

Thanks Ground Zero. It's always nice to hear from Joiz-ee.
|
|
OK, this is the special giving-of-thanks issue of ATI, Active
|
|
Thanksgivings Indicated.
|
|
We give thanks to GZ, and Fah-Q; thanks to the world wide web,
|
|
Angelfire, Geocities, Etext.org, oh, let's not forget suck.com.
|
|
Thanks, people. And an especially big indication of thanks to
|
|
all my readers "all-over-the-haus," and I mean that from the
|
|
bottom of my art. All of you. Portugal especialmente, hola:
|
|
que tal la familia??? Gracias, gracias al todo.
|
|

|
|
|
|
OK, we move right over to PRIME ANARCHIST WORLD NEWS and then a
|
|
special guest star input from mr. nopie himself. Then not much
|
|
else, I'll end with a poem of mine perhaps, or maybe steal one.
|
|
Hey, cheer up, this only happens once a year. I mean 2 issues in
|
|
one week only happens once. Not Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving happens
|
|
every day. Every meal if you do it right. =) Yack!!! I sound like
|
|
an earth day fanatic or something. <flashing two peace/victory signs>

(WallyHood - CALIF.) -PAWN. NEWTON SAYS HE LOST HIS PAINTINGS
|
|
WHILE ZONKED OUT ON IBOGAINE.
|
|
"I want my art back," said the famous opera diva, Huey
|
|
P.F. Newton, of the paintings now held in escrow by a joint
|
|
branch of the IRS and the Federal Marshalls.
|
|
He claims the Dalai Lama, John F. Kennedy Jr., Robert
|
|
Ulrich, Jimmy Carter and German rap trio Tic Tac Toe all saw IRS
|
|
agents and US Marshalls sting him and then take his paintings away.
|
|
He's demanding their return and 25 million dollars given him for
|
|
all his troubles.
|
|
"First they threw hot bubbling acid at my face," said
|
|
Newton, which must hurt when you've already got white ibogaine
|
|
powder up your nose and under your eyelids, "then they took my
|
|
Pablo Picassos and Rembrandts. Ooh, they pissed me off."

|

I guess I have to reply to that one heheheh.
|
|
|
|
As you have guessed this is Fah-q The Irish Roads Warrior! I guess
|
|
since you have reprinted a cygnus blurb I have to come up with something
|
|
new.
|
|
|
|
Here I am in the heartland of central Illinois and I love it here.
|
|
Most of the people in these old towns still think it is the 50's
|
|
and some think that that is too new fangled for them. The kids
|
|
get together and hang out on the railroad crossing and just drink " to
|
|
use a word that they use here " "POP" you couldn't find a beer in this
|
|
town if you had a million dollars and you best well go to some church
|
|
on sunday morning....afternoon......evening......night or they will
|
|
look at you like you are some kind of freak. I have hung a picture of
|
|
jesus in my window ( jesus?.... or is that jeff...?) and when they come
|
|
over and ask me to go to church with them I ask if they would accept
|
|
the mormon missionaries some thursday evening for a visit. I drive too
|
|
fast for the cop? ( he doesn't have a gun and his name is andy no
|
|
kidding) and he says that I have to stop bothering the librarian to
|
|
get Steal This Urine Test. The library is owned by the Piat County book
|
|
worm society. They have some good books
|
|
here in the stacks but since there is no T.V here to speak of I read most
|
|
of the old books in the place and wanted some new ones. I tried to give
|
|
them some that i had but they got turned down as too controversial ( tom
|
|
clancy , alan ginsberg complete poems and white shroud ) nope noway.
|
|
I am thinking of getting another chevette and a pen......
|
|
|
|
well i have to get going so i can make it to lake decatur and listen to
|
|
the art bell show on wsoy....

Two Line Poem
|

-by Harry Ehren.

There I sat in Elija's Diner

JOURNAL POEM 32
|
|
by Prime Anarchist.
|
|
Harmonarchy, a house hoping
|
|
For harmonious anarchy.
|
|
Got a Christ room and everything.
|
|
Waking up I ask my wife wonderfully,
|
|
Is margarine magnetic?
|
|
If you're quiet, you can hear
|
|
The owls go to sleep.
|
|
Just a random thought
|
|
Happily hazarded.
|
|
|
|
So there we were thinking "here we
|
|
Are slapdash in an unplanned spot."
|
|
Gentrification -- a $10 word. If you
|
|
Can't afford it -- means racism.
|
|
|
|
Will the Yucatan pope show up at the
|
|
Vatican peninsula? Expecting him
|
|
Is like Pope on a hope.
|
|
2 Heyoka moons each month. Sometimes 3.
|
|
If you own a dish you might see
|
|
Him applying his clown white,
|
|
Or noxeeming it off. Dare I call it
|
|
Papal soap? Hope not -- nope.
|
|
Diet pancakes in New Rochelle reduces
|
|
Stresses from NYC driving.
|
|
Half moon, heyoka -- a spiritual slap
|
|
In the face. More fun than anything
|
|
Pious, pompous, or pathetically
|
|
Prudish any day.
|
|
Fact, a clown each day makes
|
|
For a nice clean smile.
|
|
Even better than soap.
