That's not AOLish, it's phreaker/cracker dialect.

Hello, can you darlings be so young you don't know phreakers?

30 years old and learned english from .nfo filez.

Hey, I was redboxing back in the DTMF day before SS7 sent it all to shit.

i can whistle 1700Hz and 2200Hz.

i guess i am left in the dark, what IS a phreaker then?????????

i can whistle 2600Hz too, but shit just don't work that way anymore.

anybody want to throw everything away and move to manhattan with me this year? let me know. any sorabjiite will do.

btw, i'm only looking for a co-adventurer/conspirator, not like a love connection or anything.

I would rather stab spoons into my eyes than live in New York. I wouldn't mind a visit, though.

A FOAF I met once could whistle 2600 fairly reliably, but as you noted, it's a skill on par with village blacksmith these days.

i'm pretty. and nice.

Hey if you could fart 2600, that'd probably have gotten you on Dave Letterman's show a few years back, but he stopped doing stupid people tricks... AGATHA--> So leave us your phone number and address

she is married leave her alone

nobody has yet to tell me what a "phreaker" is, and all this jive about farting at X khz is not doing me any good. Help?! Please!

patrick, patrick, patrick. all will be revealed in time.

oh, (sigh) OK

First of all, I'm old school hacker. We're the good guys, taking things apart to see how they work and then reassembling them. The immature young anarchopunks have misappropriated the label (or had it slapped on them by ignorant and fearful media/parental types) and are more properly crackers. (Phone) phreakers are the equivalant with the public switched telephone network. Back when in the pre-MFJ AT&T days the technology was more rudimentary. In short, both signalling and carrier streams were run across the same carrier medium, making it relatively easy to trick the system into giving you free long distance, for instance. The tone to free up a trunk was 2600Hz, which as it turned out, could be produced by slightly modifying a free whistle given out in boxes of Cap'n Crunch. If you're really interested in the history and/or methodology of phreaking, do a search on it. I think www.2600.com has links to that sort of thing, if you can phind y0ur way thr0ugh th3 ann0ying jarg0nz.

You must be the real MacGyver.

No, but I am related to Richard Dean Anderson.

a thirty year old talking like that is pathetic like a thirty year old crass punk is pathetic. 30 years old and still looking for approval from the "bad kids". it's ok to like crass when you're 30 and it's ok to hate the establishment but momma needs a hug.

What he said.

"I don't know which is more pathetic - a bunch of 45 year-olds pretending to be punks, or a music critic who still believes the Ramones are relevant."

I like the Ramones.
