You might want to be investing in a sand bag or two.... and maybe one of those nice robots that investigate rubbish bins and ownerless suitcases.....? Bruaahhahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: open mike Date: 17 Nov 05 - 12:08 PM well, you are still a secret to me santa. a present from Royal Mail has arrived. It was sent on Nov. 7 and contains three red-wrapped goodies inside...i will TRY to wait til christmas to open.. I didn't know you could send mail oversees with 'no return address....could this be from an anonymous terrorist? i will set thsm in a special place in hopes they do not explode! thank you, Laurel |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Crystal Date: 17 Nov 05 - 11:56 AM Hi Santa, I'm a good little girl, and anything you hear to the contary is false...or wildly exaggerated...or I was drunk at the time...or I just wasn't careful to check for elves! I always used to leave green ginger wine, or pernod for Santa when I was little, my Daddy dosn't like sherry so we never had any in the house! The oh-so sweet and innocent Crystal (well one out of three isn't bad!) |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Den Date: 17 Nov 05 - 09:09 AM Oh you temptress you Santa. At least I believe you're a temptress. I could be wrong though. |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: artbrooks Date: 17 Nov 05 - 08:21 AM Dear Santa Ape: I enjoy good chocolate, but don't care much for the ones with fillings. Since my diet cop is limiting me to one piece a day (at my request), a box goes a l o n g way these days. |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Bat Goddess Date: 17 Nov 05 - 08:03 AM Secret Santa' flying minions strike again! (Sorry, this is the first chance I've had to post -- it was received in mailbox on Monday.) The wee mermaid is WONDERFUL! I might put a pin back on her and wear her rather than walking around with my finger up her tush. There was a, uh, scribbled "address" of sorts. Couldn't actually read it, though. And the machine-generated "stamp" is generic Great Britain. Hmmmm. (And the mermaid was made in China.) Gotta run away to work (work work) . Thank you, Santa! Linn |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Sorcha's Silly Secret Santa Date: 17 Nov 05 - 05:48 AM Oh Sorcha dear, and I often hear you say it's been a while, Since I was on the old Mudcat but now it's time to smile. For your presents are assembled now, the finest I could glean. They'll soon be on their way to you - but not from Skibbereen! |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 17 Nov 05 - 05:48 AM Dearest Santa, (with or without Dougals & pink fuzziness), how are things in Fiji? Am quivering in anticipation of your chosen gift - or is that a result of the first decent frost? Please do not go to so much trouble on my behalf - though I have been good (of course), it is well known that little things please little minds. Any more little clues for this stoopid Santee? |

I can't quite make out the post mark only that it was posted in the UK, although from past experience of the secret santa this could mean absolutely nothing! Thank you Khatt...who is still being a good girl...honest! |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Cllr Date: 16 Nov 05 - 12:11 PM The perfect gift ** thinks** Hmmm a safe electoral constituency... but i need it it this country. But thanks for trying SS I am sure your choice will be just what i deserve... The clue is a rose amongst thorn I wonder if that relates to Briar and the Rose I will ponder some more. Cllr PS to Champagne Carols SS: Carol already has one Jerk she doesn't need any more 8=) |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Pseudolus Date: 16 Nov 05 - 11:50 AM Hey, I haven't been checking in here too often and from the looks of it my gorgeous SS has been busy! I'm looking forward to the delivery, whenever it is! This is kind of early but I hope to be able to hold out until Christmas day. what are the chances, huh? haha! Frank |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: artbrooks Date: 16 Nov 05 - 08:31 AM Hummmmmm...incest, is it? I guess that means that Jenn and I have Santas who are sibs or parent/child. That opens a lot of possibilities... |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: el_punkoid_nouveau Date: 16 Nov 05 - 07:34 AM It gets better - Antipodean, female, lunatic... Narrows the field down a bit more every day! |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 16 Nov 05 - 04:19 AM Oh I just love these messages!!! And it's even funnier because I know who you all are!!!! Bruauahahahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! Seaking - your Santa is a frequent flyer but has chosen to follow the old adage of it being better to refrain from speaking and be thought a fool than to open their mouth and remove all doubt. Micca - your Santa is not known for being quiet usually... I can only put it down to a penchant for wandering. El Punkoid - your Santa is a lunatic. Sorry, it was the luck of the draw. KatLaughing - you are a naughty girl and shall surely get what you deserve. : ) Elmer Fudd - your Santa has been hunting wabbits on your behalf but as it is now turkey season, should be turning their mind to other pursuits. Charmion - your Santa is small of stature but big of volume, with the attention span of a gnat. You will get a present, but it may be more Easter Bunny time than Santa! Cllr - your Santa is a rose amongst thorns and consequently is busy being adored. Mooman - I am deeply, deeply sorry. It just happened that way. and Stephen L Rich - same goes for you. I can give you the number of a good psychiatrist if you desire but he's usually busiest just after Christmas. SECSY LTS |

Check it out: Cyber-Border Collie If you name her, the name shows up on her name tag and her snack bag. She can roll over, do sums for you and chase ladybugs. |

Well, Elmer, I may have been quiet for a while - pressures of business and so on, but... Even as we speak, my elves are winging their way towards Kashmir to provide relief on your behalf, with a token from myself as well. But so that you don't feel left out as all the other 'catters open their mysterious parcels, Rudolf and the other reindeer are, even as we speak, combing the aisles of the superstores and shopping malls to find a little something just for you... |

Every time I find the perfect gift for you, someone walks in here and says "NEAT! Can I have it?" and out it goes. At least one treasure has flown over the pond and resides not far from you. At this rate, I will be haunting the shopping malls on Christmas Eve. Sorry, but it is better to give than receive, I've heard. SS |
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Crystal's Wayfaring Wandering Santy.... Date: 15 Nov 05 - 11:15 AM Okay there's been some wandering by Santa and the head elf... A little confusion, things left on the shelf But a few cards should now be headed your way As we finish preparations for the celebration day On your side of the pond cocoa and cookies are not always left and sherry and mince pie are more familiar instead. But perhaps we'll have to ready you for this most special of nights Prepare for Santa's sweet tooth with savory delights Tradtions here call for nighties so new Are you ready or naughty Or perhaps both are true ???? |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Dave'sWife Date: 14 Nov 05 - 08:26 PM Dear Santa: I am simply overwhelmed with joy at having heard from you. I don't know how much you know about me so I'll tell you a bit. My family is from The Irish bronx and of recent Emigration. We are a fairly musical family with everyone playing an instrument or four. I was born in NYC and lived there through 1990. I am now in exile in Los Angeles, having moved here when I sold a Screenplay in 1990. I kicked about the film Industry in various postions and my Husband is still employed that way. I got rather disgusted with it and settled down to a quiet life of working from home. We have a rustic cottage in an old part of Hollywood. it was originally home to workers at the Charlie Chaplin Studios about 10 blocks away (now owned by A & M records and the scene of many music videos). Our cottage is a bit crumbly around the edges and we are always trying to fix it up one way or another. It was built in the 1920s which makes it quite old as Los Angeles is concerned but rather young to most Mudcatters. I have no children sadly and so I have a dog, a big blonde Alsatian whose name is Dude, but we call him Puppers. I have a couple of cats in the cottage and one cat UNDER the cottage. Most homes like mine were built atop a four-cornered foundation so air can flow underneath in summer and keep things cool. INKY, my subterranian cat, rules the under-part of the cottage. I love to garden and am currently embarking on a grand re-design of the front yard. I've just gotten a huge shipment of bulbs from Holland and we're digging trenches all along the fence to lay in the White & yellow Alliums I bought. I'm going to put center mounds of white oriental lillies. I also LOVE to cook. I collect heirloom recipes that have been passed down within families. I often publish articles about food, cooking and ethnic Cuisine. I also collect antique and/or old cooking utinsels and gadgets. I recently got a 50 year old Potato masher that made me SO happy. My next quest is to get one of those Cherry Stoning machines you clamp onto your table edge. Nothing would make me happier than to recieve a recipe from YOUR family that is greatly cherished. I am relatively new to Mudcat ads an active member, having only hung out here for a couple of years. I did not begin participating in full until last year some time. Therefore, any old Mudcat memorabelia would be so nice. And... I am dying for a tape and/or CD of that "Beatnik Prevert" song about Hildebrants Chicago Bust. Hows that? |
