Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,MORTICIA'S SECRET PAGAN SOLSTICE ELF Date: 22 Dec 03 - 08:44 PM ahhhh, now, wee lass.....aren't we just the most impatient???? Here we are several days away from the actual day, and you still are mopin'..... as if any right minded male, elf or otherwise, could resist the likes of yourself!! Do you really think that this auld man, knowin' full well that the sacred rites will be upon us soon, would risk havin' ye give him the old cold one????? If you will just be patient, m'love, the gifts should be arrivin' just about perfectly on time. The rest o' these gits, what with their deliverin' so far in advance of the day, just don't get it. Love, Santa Solstice Elf |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Lizabee's Santa Date: 22 Dec 03 - 05:34 PM Dear Liza, dear Liza, Your Santa felt a little more like Scrooge than the a good elf for several weeks. Your package is now on it's way, but not on wings. You'll get it, eventually. Not by the big day, though. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Peigín's Secretive Yule-Person Date: 18 Dec 03 - 11:09 AM Dear Peg, I'm so pleased you received the last parcel and enjoyed the contents...I remembered you liking Scandinavian music from a thread a year or two ago. Perhaps the postmark was not so helpful after all. So this is a person with a good memory... As these were just a couple of little things, a supplementary package is now winging its way across an expanse that you have correctly identified as the Atlantic. I wonder if the postmark on that will help? Probably not! I hope you like what's inside (I think you will) but apologise in advance if you have it already. If you do, as promised before, I will replace it with something else. The contents are from someone closer to my origins but not to where I live now! I enjoyed your review of LOTR ROTK and no, there weren't too many spoilers! I tend to think of myself as a bit of an Aragorn but look more like Gandalf! Well, not so much since I shaved my beard off... Hmmm! Another LOTR fan! Celtic/Sicilian sounds an interesting mix! I am "Celtic" too plus a little Spanish and, indeed, have performed a few times at the local Galician Centre. Must be a clue there! I've been to the States quite a few times and would say Boston is my favourite US city. I did spend a short time at Harvard and enjoyed it very much. Well, all the best for now and I wish you the very happy Yuletide and sucessful and rewarding New Year. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Alba Date: 17 Dec 03 - 09:29 PM Oh my Aelfin Friend...what can I say except BRILLIANT! On the same day you tell me a Pressie is soon on it's way, I get your lovely postcard from ...Dubai!!! Here's me wondering how to get around to the Post Office in the snow, I needed to be reminded of Sun and Sand...I can't tell you how happy your Postcards have made me:>) You are without a doubt a most splendid Aelf and a credit to Aelfdom..Thank you so very much:>) Jude...((((hugs)))) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Helen Date: 17 Dec 03 - 03:43 PM Thanks, Secret Santa! If it really does take 6 days then it would be here before Christmas, but I reckon it's the post office people who are being naughty. Sitting around looking up those porn sites and not getting their work done. I think the elves are very up-to-date, thinking of that clever way to monitor naughtiness. Maybe too clever for their own good, if they also show up on the naughtiness database. So, I'll be happy whenever this excitingly mysterious parcel arrives. It makes it easier for me not to have to fight temptation to open it as soon as it arrives. If it came too long before Christmas, I would have to open it. This way, I can control my temptation if it gets here before Christmas, and I can open it straight away if it doesn't. I can resist anything except temptation! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Helen's Secret Santa Date: 17 Dec 03 - 01:26 PM Good news! Everything in my life finally got organized enough to send the pressie your way. Considering the amount of postage required, I figure it just might make it by Christmas. I sure hope so. I sent it out on Monday and North Pole Mail says it'll take about 6 or so days. I hope you like it. Frankly, I wrapped it so long ago, I kinda forgot what you're getting. Can't check the database right now either - that's located in Sri Lanka and have to check it through the Net. I just got back online today and there's a sleigh-load of elfs up here waiting to check their email and catch up with their porn site traffic (that's one way we track naughty people - or at least that's their excuse). Gotta go - Blitzen want's to check out the other B.S. treads. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Alba's Anonymous Aelf Date: 17 Dec 03 - 08:24 AM Well, Luv, if I get get out of the fix I'm in, I might get yer pressie in the post today. But then, I might not. Its a long trek, it is, snow or no snow. Once I manage to get there, it has about 3250 kilometers to go to get to you in North Gawdawful---isn't that about 2030 of your miles? Any road, have fun with it. I hope the thing in the big box gets there intact---me mate trapped, I mean made, it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: harpgirl Date: 16 Dec 03 - 10:59 PM Synchronicity! I just decided to post my new guess about my Claws. I think it's artbrooks, the man with the scarey eyebrows! hahahaha |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Harpgirl's Secret Claws Date: 16 Dec 03 - 07:24 PM Well, Harpy, your pressie is now in the There isn't a "Do Not Open Until Christmas" sign on it. After all, there are people who either (1) celebrate a different holiday (2) celebrate all possible holidays or (3) have no will power. So, you go ahead and open it whenever you want. After all, considering who has it, it might be a Valentine's Day pressie! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: CapriUni Date: 15 Dec 03 - 11:10 PM Dear Solstice Faery -- The package you sent arrived save and sound... but I will be a good girl, and not open it until Solstice Morning. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Burke's Good Ol' Secret Santa Date: 15 Dec 03 - 11:59 AM Hmmm...were I male, shouldn't this be "Santus"? After all, the "-a" ending usually denotes the feminine: puella, puta, mesa, and so on. And, in Latin, the "-us" ending denotes the masculine: gladius, Romulus, and like that. So what about the "-um" ending, like in "tectum" or "vomitorium"? Oh wait, that's neuter. And speaking of linguistics, the first of Burke's presents should be going out today or at least very, very soon. (Hints: it's not ticking and probably won't explode if dropped. Probably.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Sarahtheflute's sandy claws Date: 15 Dec 03 - 04:16 AM Sorry this has taken so long, but I had to go down to the beach and round up those reindeer. They were having a great old time, let me tell you, riding the waves and sunbaking on the sand. I had a hard time of it getting them to leave. I had to buy them all icecreams before they would consider putting on the harness and getting airborne. Nevertheless, they are now on their way, and hopefully you will have your prezzie before Xmas. I, on the other hand, will be going away camping on the 22nd, so if it hasn't arrived by then, I will have to wait a couple of weeks to find out when/if you got it. Hope you like it! SS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Bat Goddess SS Date: 15 Dec 03 - 04:02 AM Hi Linn, I've just checked the status of your parcel. Its in one of santa's international hubs being sorted. So hopefully it should be with you this week. x |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Mary in KY's Secret Santa Date: 15 Dec 03 - 01:14 AM Yes, Helen, I totally agree. Having read Mary's hints and also read a number of her postings I realised that she seems to put great value on thinking clearly, and helping others to be more logical and clear in their thinking. And I wouldn't worry about those Thought Police if I were you, Mary, because I'm a wiz at speed-flying and quick aerial manoeuvres to escape them. The reindeer have a few nifty evasive tricks as well. Your Secret Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Helen Date: 14 Dec 03 - 04:20 PM You never thought you'd be busted by the Thought Police? Well, you obviously won't get recruited to their ranks! I would have thought thinking was your forte. ;-> Helen |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 14 Dec 03 - 03:43 PM uh oh, busted by the thought police. I'll be good. Promise. (I've been busted by the fashion police, but never the thought police.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,For Mary in KY: The SS (aka the Thought Po Date: 14 Dec 03 - 11:50 AM Our Thought Police Crime Control Sensing Device has detected an intention by someone in Kentucky of being naughty before Christmas in the hope that she (for it is indeed a female perp) can swindle herself a Secret Santa present. This is an official notification that if all else fails we will send out the Super-Dooper Reindeer Troopers with sirens wailing and lights flashing to intercept Santa's sleigh and retrieve said present, and confiscate it, as well as seizing all the other presents in the sleigh because they will be considered as contraband until proven otherwise. Mary in KY, this is your last chance. Confess that you really don't want to deprive all of the other nice people of their presents just because of a fleeting whim to go out and have some naughty fun. We know you don't want to deprive the other children (and grown-up children) of their Christmas cheer because we can read your thoughts (and we know that you are really a nice person - well most of the time, well, except when you ..... sorry, confidential information, cannot include that in a public warning notice..... This is another public service announcement from The Thought Police P.S. We have your Secret Santa and we are force feeding him/her cookies and brandy until he/she confesses where the present is stowed on the sleigh. (How do you think Santa gets to fill out that big Santa suit so well? We do this every year and he/she is now hooked on cookies and brandy, and the suit has to be made bigger with each passing year to accommodate that big belly. That's why he/she ho-ho-ho's all the time. He/she is blind drunk from all that brandy. Then we get to catch him/her driving under the influence. It's a vicious cycle, a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Peg Date: 13 Dec 03 - 10:21 AM hey Aengus/Santa; I am really enjoying that CD! (in case you did not read the "pressie" thread, I caved in and opened my gifts). I LOVE Breton music and also Breton traditional dancing. I think it would be great to have a group nearby that knows some of this, but it's mostly Scottish, Irish and English here (I guess we're lucky to have that!) I know there is a folk dance group in/near Glastonbury, UK that does some Breton stuff. I was in an a cappella group two years ago that sang stuff in various Celtic languages; we did only one gig but we did sing a Breton language song...about VD! By the way, I have been unable to post anonymously on ths thread because whe I log out my cookie gets "corrupted" and I can't post. So I hope my Santee will forgive me because he/she is not receiving silly hints! peg |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Rapparee Date: 13 Dec 03 - 10:02 AM Dear SS, I went and figgered out your secret identity some time ago, but I will for Ireland I'll not tell your name. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Micca Date: 13 Dec 03 - 08:37 AM Said Our Mary, who lives in Kentucky being good makes me feel quite yucky But my gifts on the way so my SS did say and Now I'm free to start feeling quite..... Lucky!!! If tou thought something else "ya evil minded bunch"!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Mary in Kentucky's Secret Santa Date: 12 Dec 03 - 07:10 PM Hi there, Mary. I hope you have been good and not naughty, because it is too late now to go and get your pressie out of the sleigh. It's right at the bottom under a mountain of other pressies so the elves have told me that there can be no going back on naughty/nice decisions at this late stage. They're getting too naughty for their own good. Next thing you know they will be joining the Union. Just see if they like it if I put them on the naughty list and all they get is a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings. Well, I suppose they have been working hard helping me to find the right presents for you so I should cut them a bit of slack. Don't worry if you don't get it for a week or two. We have a lot of presents to deliver and the route has been worked out very strictly by the reindeer. They might get coal too, if they don't behave. Your Secret Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,cookieless Blackcatter Date: 11 Dec 03 - 02:44 PM Woo hoo! Got my present and it's from the U.K.! Great thing is that I get to open it on Yule like I have been able to for the past 2 years. All my friends will be there to see it. Thank you Santa. I look forward to figuring out who thou art and see what you've sent. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Rapaire's Secret Santa Date: 11 Dec 03 - 08:07 AM Here's your last hint. I'm "the other woman." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Mrs. Duck's Co-ordinating Claus Date: 10 Dec 03 - 11:35 PM Hmmm. You're only about a degree and a half nearer the North Pole than the postmark on your pressie.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Burke Date: 10 Dec 03 - 06:27 PM Santa, send it whatever way is easiest for you! In parts, one big package. I'm not fussy. Thanks for the fun! Burke |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: artbrooks Date: 10 Dec 03 - 04:38 PM Or me...worse luck! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,MMario Date: 10 Dec 03 - 04:33 PM we'll make it TWICE as easy It isn't me either. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Helen Date: 10 Dec 03 - 04:11 PM Well, Firecat, it's not me this year, so that narrows it down to...........how many hundred possibilities??? Helen |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: selby Date: 10 Dec 03 - 03:51 PM Me as well but remember, "good things come to he/her who waits" therfore be like me Firecat with true Yorkshire grit stand firm, dont worry and with a bit of luck santa will come. Keith :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Firecat Date: 10 Dec 03 - 02:54 PM Where's my Santa?? It's only about a fortnight to the DAY and I've not heard from him/her/it! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 10 Dec 03 - 01:41 PM Can't read a thing without my specs these days! Of course we here in Yorkshire are a lot closer to the North Pole than some!!!!!! Getting so excited now I can hardly hold my water. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Mrs. Duck's Clandestine Claus Date: 10 Dec 03 - 01:33 PM And another thing - when it arrives, in order to maximize your Christmas morning surprise, please resist the urge to read the little green label, as the North Pole customs people demand an itemized list of the contents. Perhaps a kindly postal worker will deface that for you. Also, the return name and address is that of a fictitious character who only exists outside the reality of Mudcat. The gift is of course from me, Santa, eh? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Peigín's Secretive Yule-Person Date: 10 Dec 03 - 12:45 PM Dear Peg, Your pressie parcel should be nearing its destination by now. I hope to augment this with one or two other things as I mentioned before which you should get in the New Year. Some more clues? You are doing well so far! You are right about an Irish connection although my Irish is not at all good! Although I could still wish you... Barróga agus póga Oh bother...I've given my gender away now! What do I know about Peg, well for a start.... Tá guth binn, ceolmhar aicí from the evidence that I have heard! And me? Well it is purported that I am some sort of musician and sometimes play Irish and Scottish (and Breton...and that gives me another idea...!) traditional music (it being in the genes so to speak) but also other genres (in fact that's what I do much more of these days). My instruments include several different sorts of six string things, different sorts of eight string things, three and four string things and many types of hittable things! I have also experimented less successfully with squeezable things and blowable things...(flutes and whistles for those of you with dirty minds!). In fact, it could be said that I suffer from GAS (although I am not Catspaw...). What other clues can I offer? I do not drink (unusual for a Mudcatter...!) Nuair a bhíos an braon istigh bíonn an chiall amuigh. I have a worthwhile and interesting job... Ní thuirsítear fear na héadála. And I do not aspire to wealth or material things... Is buaine port ná glór na n-éan, Is buaine focal ná toice an tsaoil. All very best wishes to you! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Joybell Date: 09 Dec 03 - 06:05 PM Oh JOY and Happiness!! So my pressie is winging it's way SOUTH. I'm on to you my dear SS. I now know you don't live in Antarctica! Cross off all the Mudcatters there. I've nearly tracked you down! Thankyou Thankyou. Joybell in the South of SS Country. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Rapaire's Secret Santa Date: 09 Dec 03 - 02:06 PM Rapaire, I mailed your pressie today via the good ole USPS. (can't trust the new Pocatello elf) It should arrive Thursday or Friday. My name is on the return addy, but the postmark would pretty much tell you who I am. I've given you three hints as to who I am -- two big enough to drive a mack truck through! I think one other Mudcatter knows who I am, but most are clueless. You probably guessed who I am after the first clue, but in case you're still wondering, I'll give another clue Thursday. HO HO HO |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: pixieofdoom Date: 09 Dec 03 - 01:38 PM Hurrah!! Thank you very much Santa, I'm really looking forward to receiving my parcel and I'm glad all that being good paid off. It wasn't easy, I can tell you! |
