                                         Presents...

 - The Poor-Mans Electro-Bastard Box -

 Santas little helper has finally slept off the eggnog, and just in time for the
end of summer, the NTOP brings you a late christmas present, the cheapest way to
annoy someone.

 Materials you will need:

 1 (One) Christmas tree flasher bulb (The things with the red end)
 2 (Two) Wires
 2 (Two) Alligator Clips (Optional)

 So you went and spent your whole allowance on the clips, good, and you ransacked the
attic for the christmas tree shit, good. Now lets continue on building the "box".

 1 - Look at your christmas flasher bulb, if it has one of those gimpy little plastic
"plug"s on the end, rip that bastard off, we dont need it.

 2 - Take one of your wires, and solder it to a lead from the bulb, if your too
poor to afford a soldering iron, just twist and tape.

 3 - Repeat step 2 with the other wire and the other lead.

 4 - If you have alligator clips, attach them to the ends of the wires.

Heres an ascii art, your box should look like this.

There, thats all, with a minimum of money spent. Now, heres how to use it.

Go find someones house, it doesnt really matter who unless you like to single out poor
jerks. Find the network interface box on the back of their house, and open it. (This
is assuming you have a screwdriver, if your too poor to afford a screwdriver, throw 
the box away because it doesnt work without a screwdriver.) Now you need to find the
red screw with the red wire. Unscrew the screw, remove the wire, now clip one of the
alligator clips on the screw, and the other one onto the bare end of the red wire.

For those "advanced" readers, heres how it works. The flasher bulb has a bimetallic
strip inside that connects to the filament. As power runs thru the bulb, the bi-
metallic strip heats up, and curves away from the connection, breaking the circuit.
after a few seconds, the strip cools, bends back, and the circuit is reconnected.
Putting this bulb in series with a phone line causes the line to disconnect and
reconnect every few seconds.
