-=Head Doc's tips on Eternal Eliteness=- 
        (IE, What not to do whilst phreaking)
         By, of course, Head Doc


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Being in a community College has its ups and downs. one of the Ups  |
is being able to hear about things going on. For instance, there happens    |
to be a small group of "Psuedo Phreaks" who talk about their little         |
adventures with little care of who hears it. (BTW, this is #1 DONT DO.)     |
I'm going to compile a list of 10 Do's and Don'ts.                          |
(Included is a Well-Worded Summary, to help you remember these tips)        |

        DON'T #1: NEVER talk about your "work" in a very public place,
especialy if most of this work happens to be on the shady side of the law.
The reason for this should be fairly obvius, yet it seems to escape some
people, so here I will state it bluntly: You talk, You get Caught.
(BTW, someone who worked for USwest was sitting at the next table, listening
in, so for awhile dont be a phreakin' in Lakewood).  
Summary:
                -LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS-

        DON'T #2: Don't Drink/Drug/ETC before phreaking. This is a double bad.
Number one bad: your chances of getting caught go up by 10 times.
Number two bad: When you do get caught, they'll be able to slap a
DUI and/or Drug related charge. SUMMARY:
                -DON'T BE A TOKIN', WHEN INTO BOXES YOU'VE BROKEN-

        DON'T #2: Don't drive your car/truck Etc. onto private driveways
when phreaking. Again, your chances of getting caught will go up.
Mountain folks dont exacly like to see strange cars on their driveways, and
I've heard of a few cases where police were called, and the phreaks were 
arrested.  (One or two rumers about owners taking shots at the odd Phreak, 
too, they REALLY dont like to see strange cars on their drive.. )
        Summary:
                 -WHEN ON DRIVEWAYS YOU PARK, THE OWNER WILL NARC-      

        DON'T #3: Dont bust into more than 3 boxes a night. 2 is even pushing 
        it a bit.(I was on a phreak trip where we opened up 9 (yep, 9) in one 
        3 hour period.. The police were out in force when we drove back down 
        on that same road.. probobly because the man we Beige'd got on when 
        we were dialing Tokyo.. we almost got caught with all of our T00LS 
        with us....)
        Summary:
        -HE WHO BOXES BUT ONCE AND RUNS AWAY, LIVES TO BOX ANOTHER DAY-

                -this leads to-

        DON'T #4: Don't Beige box someones house unless its required. You 
        never know when someone will pick up the phone. (If you have to 
        beige somewhere, make sure nobody is at home/work at the time, or 
        plan it REALLY well.)
summary:
        -DON'T BEIGE THE PHONE, 'LESS NOBODYS HOME-

        DON'T #5: Dont Ever, EVER rip out a box from the ground. if you do 
        something like that, they will DEFINATLY notice, and lock up all of 
        the boxes with those MASTERLOCK toys of theirs. 
        (this should be blatently obvius not to do, but... well.. )
        Summary:
          -UNLESS YOU WANT THE BLOCK IN LOCKS, 
          DONT EVER RIP OUT A SHINEY GREEN BOX-

        DON'T #6: Never do truck raiding without gloves. this is just stoopid. Let's
assuming that you dont have a criminal record (lucky you), if they ever 
catch you doing something else, they can suddenly link you with getting a
truck, and if they get you for one thing, why not pawn off everyone elses 
little adventures on you? SCAPE-GOAT. also, dont leave stuff with your name
on it at the sight. (not even going to explain this one.)
        Summary:
        -UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE IN JAIL, NEVER, EVER, LEAVE A TRAIL-

        DON'T #7: Always check to make sure you have enough gas. 
(This is directed mainly at Mountain/outback phreakers.) 
This could be ***VERY*** bad.Pushing/Pulling your car up/down a mountain 
is not phun.
        Summary:
        -IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR PHRIENDS TO GIVE YOU A SPANK, 
            MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE 'ENUFF JUICE IN THE TANK-

        DON'T #8: Never, NEVER continue phreaking while a car drives by. 
Duck/hide/play dead whatever, but dont just sit in front of an open box.
summary:
        -UNLESS YOU WANT TO WIND UP BEHIND BARS, 
          ALWAYS BE CAREFULL OF PASSING BY CARS-

        DON'T #9: Don't redbox openly. One of the K-rad kiddies at my school 
was Red Boxing a payphone while the security guy walked by. Always disguise 
what you are doing, either by disguising the box, or by just being carefull.
Summary:
        -ALWAYS REMEMBER, WHEN BOXING THE PHONES, 
          TO TRY AND DISGUISE YOUR MUSICAL TONES-

and finaly, 
        DON'T #10: Don't phreak with a donkey.
