Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,Stilly's Very Silly Secret Santa Date: 10 Oct 07 - 08:49 AM Connections: yep, and wouldn't you like to know?! Mwahahahaha! And not actively collecting anything leaves you wide open, heh heh heh. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,Alison's Astrophysically-aware Ælf Date: 10 Oct 07 - 09:20 AM Yes, oh red-headed one...it is, in fact, heading north to ME!! My team of desire-fulfillment experts is reviewing your wish list carefully and searching the known universe. As specific objects are located, they are sent here to the North Pole, where my consolidation and packaging experts will prepare it for further shipping on to you. Thank you for the good thoughts, but I do not need a new GPS unit. I have eight directionally-talented reindeer to help find my way to hither and yon - and believe me, you are about as far yon as we get!! However, because of the increased demand created by this Secret Santa nonsense, I am afraid that, even with all of your obvious talents, I must consign it at some point to the postal systems of various government entities rather than rely entirely upon personal delivery. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: Rapparee Date: 10 Oct 07 - 09:30 AM Dear SSSSsssssssssssss: My neighbor's house is gonna be sold at a foreclosure auction in January. It sure would be a nice present if you were to buy it for me as a late Christmas pressie. Then I could let poor but deserving folk musicians live there and have place for house concerts and all sorts of neat folking stuff. Just a hint. R |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,NOT the Missing Santa Date: 10 Oct 07 - 09:35 AM Consider the possibility that your Secret Santas are so busy seeking out just the right combination of excitement that they have no time left to write! Besides, there are so many people swearing that they are being good that Santa really has no time left to do anything but check up on them. Ah, that Bente! And Crystal...and Alison...and Megan! There are windows all over the world with noseprints on them! Mike, Leadfingers and Giok are beyond any definition of propriety already, so the Santa-Corps has given up watching them. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 10 Oct 07 - 09:46 AM Rapaire - unless the house is selling for less than $20-$30, I don't think there's much hope of that... Santa's a bit strapped for cash this year. Could just about manage a brick. SECSY LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,EyeLanders Actual Secret Yuleperson Date: 10 Oct 07 - 09:56 AM I may not know you Jillie or I may, but I have connections anyway. Your right being good can be a little tiresome, so you have my permission to be a little naughty If you have anymore hints to give, feel free EASY |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 Oct 07 - 11:29 AM I collect money. Cash. U.S. currency. Anything along those lines. :) Does that help? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,Mrzzy's Unknown Distinguished Christmas Airb Date: 10 Oct 07 - 12:44 PM aaaaghhhh there was no room to put my full title, which reads Mrzzy's Unknown Distinguished Christmas Airborne Transporter (of gifts) aka MUDCAT (og) You're very quiet, aren't you? Is this a character trait or are you attempting to lull me and the reindeer into a false sense of security? Just to let you know that I'm working long hours with the NES (National Elf Service - not sure which nation, mind you)to try to sort out the best possible pressies but we have only minimal information to go on. Now I might be able to cope with this, but the Elves and the reindeer are beginning to get a little restive. As a sop to their professional scruples I've had to agree to letting the surveillance team do their stuff, so if you notice some strange flashing lights around in the next week or so, or hear the occasional thump in the night please don't be alarmed. The lights will probably be green, the thump will sound exactly like an Elf falling off a reindeer - anything else and I'd advise calling for assistance. But if you'd prefer me to cancel the whole surveillance operation, just wave at us in the next few days and we'll say no more about it. Your MUDCAT (og), signing off and assuring you of our best attention at all times... |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,Guest, Crystal's SSS Date: 10 Oct 07 - 07:16 PM Well, been very busy sizing up army boots and such, maybe a helmet for a wargaming girlie type...perhaps in puce... Turquoise is the order of the day, and we do salute it, especially in stores around, so a turquoise encrusted CD case could be coming, but probably not, and certainly not Chickens. Anyway, these SS is are contemplating many things, not too dangerous, to send so to help in those cold, dark winter days. Secret Santsa bright and hot....to Crystal...our santee... by the way, if only you would have wished for lots of cash, that would easily been the gift of choice, but oh well.........maybe next time... |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,The Eyeballs in the Sky Date: 11 Oct 07 - 07:08 AM Ah, but Leadfingers ~ a good agent would not let you know you were being watched. Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. <(o)> |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: sian, west wales Date: 11 Oct 07 - 07:43 AM Crikey! a) HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SANTA! (excuse me while I do a one-woman conga line round the house) OK b) S/He's actually read my hints as in full operational mode! And ... easterly, eh? Hmmmm. Well, as the earth is round (this has been proven) that could mean just about anything. Twisted back? Worrying (and cart-loads of sympathy!) Doesn't seem to have dampened Santa's enthusiasm though! TI DO RE MI right back at ya', darlin! I promise to be REAL good (unfortunately, temptation isn't rearin' its ugly head all that often these days) and be deserving of any treats you send my way! eagerly, sian, west wales |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: MMario Date: 11 Oct 07 - 09:37 AM Dear Santa: I am all a-quiver; obliviously you know me well enough I don't even have to drop you any clues as to what I would like. That's - err- a little frightening. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,Sian, West Wales' Westerly Santa Date: 11 Oct 07 - 10:15 AM Yes, the world is round -- depending on which way you want to fly. Chortle. Enjoy the dance. At our age I DON'T necessarily recommend the being-good route. Yr Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,Sinsull's Secret Santa Date: 11 Oct 07 - 11:17 AM Just to let you know, Santa is watching. Hope the gathering at your house goes well. Try to stay away from those not so nice practical jokes! Well, maybe not, that's the spice of life. SS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,PbDigits SS Date: 11 Oct 07 - 12:19 PM I have my periscope trained on you right now....Oh yes you are being watched VERY carefully. You are right to be PARANOID. The little elves are everywhere - there is no escape. OK now I've finished the stalking bit I am busy with my chemical factory converting surplus maize fields into enough fuel to get my sleigh somewhere in the vicinity of you..it's going to take a long time |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,The Care and Rapaire Santaire Date: 11 Oct 07 - 12:40 PM Right. First it's a Gutenburg Bible, then a full suit of armor, then a house. Yer pushin' yer luck, big fella. Hint away, then ... what Liz the Squeak said! (Mind you, if the neighbour is selling off any of that other materialistic-culture stuff and you can get any of it for under $20, I'll send ya a check. Hey - I'm generous. I'll go up to $30.) CaRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: SINSULL Date: 11 Oct 07 - 04:25 PM kat, You know a lot of things I don't know. To which one in particular are you referring? I've got a Santa! I've got a Santa! But who is it? kat seems to know. That narrows it down to about 4000 people. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: Alba Date: 11 Oct 07 - 05:45 PM Sure it's only 4,000 Sins, I thought Kat knew more folks than that?.....* pretend puzzled look * heehee |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: Rapparee Date: 11 Oct 07 - 06:02 PM The house would not be for me (I have one), but for others. A place where old musicians can folk around, so to speak. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: Hollowfox Date: 11 Oct 07 - 07:15 PM Dear Secret Santa, I'm so sorry! I just got back from a week out of town, attending the National Storytelling Festival with my daughter. I'll be good (ish) and post to The Link. (grovel, whimper) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,Mmario's Secret Santa Date: 11 Oct 07 - 07:37 PM I am all a-quiver; - but will you find your target, or be wide of the mark? Can you keep to the straight and arrow? obliviously you know me well enough I don't even have to drop you any clues as to what I would like. I may well know you well enough not to need clues, but have you forgotten this message already? I suppose your memory does start to fade as you age - you can remember what you did 400 years ago as if it were yesterday, but damn it if you can remember last month! Not to worry though - my little helpers have already collected the first items to make up your Yuletide package. All you have to do now is deserve them! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,Oh, yes you do, Maryrrf! Date: 12 Oct 07 - 02:02 AM Sorry, I've been busy, busy, busy and haven't dropped into Mudcat for a while. I have my little red Santa thinking cap on, thinking of all sorts of things to send you. Your slow but still secret Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: bfdk Date: 12 Oct 07 - 12:04 PM Dunno, Mary, but if I'm being hung for a glass of coke at Portaferry, then certainly you should be swinging next to me.. Maybe your Santa will get your dog a nice bone, too ;o) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07 From: GUEST,RangerSteve's Secretest Santa Date: 12 Oct 07 - 02:26 PM Hmmm...Santa is wondering if you're paying attention to this thread, sir. I know I forgot to put a name on my very first post but I corrected it below. Is the only way you can stay good also to stay silent? |

Use the Drop Down Menu and choose LOG OUT, then hit GO. Then you are good to post anon. When you are ready to post as yourself, go back to the Quick Links and reverse the process by choosing LOG IN.

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: GUEST,Nancy King's 'Elf Starter Date: 12 Oct 07 - 08:57 PM Poetry to make you wince Asking you to give some hints Searched 'til my face was wan and palid Are last year's hints, perhaps, still valid? If that list's bad, please post a new one. Because my boss is overdue one. If you'd post and join the ranks There'd be less angst and heartfelt thanks. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Pla From: Rapparee Date: 12 Oct 07 - 09:02 PM Oh Santa, I haven't been very good this year. I tried, oh how I tried, but no matter how hard I tried I seem to have failed. There was that little matter of the pasta, for example. Yes, I admit that I shouldn't have eaten it in bed, but I didn't realize that uncooked pasta would leave crumbs. And that business with the maggots, well, I was trying to raise them for fishing bait. It's hard to be good out here in Idaho, Santa, what with the Legion to lead me astray. I don't even deserve a lump of coal or a rotten potato this Christmas. (Sniff, sniff, sniffle) I'd so much like to have presents like all the others, but I don't deserve them. Give them to someone who has managed to be good, nay, even angelic, all year and not to a rotten poop-head like me. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Pla From: GUEST,Tabster's Secret Santa Date: 12 Oct 07 - 09:11 PM Och, lass, I dinna ken that ye've been gud this past year. After ye put the wee drop o' malt in the kookaburra's agua I do not theenk that you can say you have been a good leetle girl. Shuren begonia but that was a naughty thing, that was. There was-a no call to do dat. Ah kain't even glance at the rest of yer rekord, cuz it's so bad. Honeychile, you'll be lucky to get rocks. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Dave'sWife Date: 13 Oct 07 - 01:46 AM Dear Silenus Charm Elf: I've thought of a couple of CDs I'd really love to have: I was watching The Devils rejects a few months ago and was very taken with some Terry Reid songs that Rob Zombie included on the Soundrtrack - unfortunately, if I want to buy them on iTunes, I have to buy the entire soundtrack and I have all the other songs. So i looked him up and he turns out to be quite the influential but forgotten artist from the early seventies. I have obn my Amazon Wishlist 2 of his CDs: Seed of Memory River I am also very in love with a current folkish group called Hem and have none of their recordings. 2 of their songs have been used in American insurance commericals and they are both unbelievably wonderful - "Half Acre" and "The part where you let go". I would love any of their CDs or EPs which are: Rabbit Songs Home Again, Home Again Funnel cloud Enveningland Birds, Beast, Flowers No Word From Tom I'm Talking With My Mouth I would also love to have any Stephen Stills Solo material or that album he did as Manassas - the earlier the better - I'm an early seventies kind of gal. I may only have been 6 in 1970 but '70 thru '75 seems to be my big musical fave era I don't have any Chris Hillman solo stuff either and I love him. Hard to say which ones I would like. I love Steve Earle but the latest CD I have is The Mountain. The Mountain is my favortie of his post-heroin comeback records but I would love to have a copy of Train a Comin' because it has a wonderful song on it that Emmylou Harris later covered called "Goodbye". His version is just as heartbreaking as hers but for very different reasons. How's that? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Anne Lister Date: 13 Oct 07 - 03:24 AM Dear, dear SS As a bit of a linguist myself I'm most intrigued with your forms of expression, but I suspect they're all there as distractions and diversions, concealing your inner warm core of being which is, as I now understand it, multi-national and vario-ethnic. Anyway, whoever said that about the malt and the kookaburra must have been following some other Tabster because I can promise you (a)we're not a rich enough household to purchase malt (cheap Aldi Scotch IF we're lucky) and (b) there are no kookaburras in our part of Wales. I have been as good as possible this year. There may have been one or two lapses, such as when my sat nav took me astray and I confess to saying some rude words, but really I don't think I deserve to be punished for this. Should I organise a petition of my well-wishers to persuade you further? Yours in some distress about the wrongful accusations ... Tabster. |
