Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST, Taunto, Jaqui's Santa's Faithful American A Date: 15 Nov 15 - 04:27 PM Yule be haunted, taunted and your good name flaunted, and get things you don't know you've always wanted. Santa's near. Be in fear. Be aware, but yet undaunted. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Severn Date: 16 Nov 15 - 04:33 PM I hope it doesn't suck, SESSS. Actually, I have never had a bad or boring Secret Santa gift in all the years I've done this. None of those "Happy Returns Of The Day". Everything worked, fit or didn't duplicate anything I had. Your predecessors have set the bar mighty high. You've got a lot to live up to to be sucSESSful..... But Mudcatter Santas never disappoint on their appointed rounds. As in previous years, I have my house Brownies, Hash and McGhee, on the lookout for any elfin scouts snooping around my townshack. Not much gets past them..... Any questions? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,The SESS Date: 16 Nov 15 - 06:38 PM Questions ????????????????????????????????????????? There you go ...is that enough for you? A Santa always delivers what's requested on the agenda (within reason) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Un-affiliated eye-twinkling Santa Date: 16 Nov 15 - 06:59 PM I know some secrets! And I have a list I'M CHECKING TWICE. It includes some people who could use a card this season. Watch your PMs for a list of names, and if you'd like any of the addresses that go with the names, then reply to the PM and say so. And if you are just following along with this seasonal nonsense and want to participate in card sending, contact the thread's OP sender for more information. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Guest, the Veritable Venerable Santa for Vec Date: 17 Nov 15 - 05:47 PM Just to let you know, my dear, that matters are under way. A senior elf has been instructed to choose the gift, or gifts, for your Yule package. A junior elf has been instructed to check your behaviour record, although I gather there have been no incidents to cause concern up until now, at least. All is entirely as it should be and we anticipate no problems with a timely delivery. That's if I can get Rudolph and the others out of the clover patch. Your Santa. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Jacqui's Slightly Peeved Regional Elf. Date: 17 Nov 15 - 08:26 PM Taunto is being sent about In my place,to you to scout you out. If you prefer, you'll get an elf. You can decide for your self. Who knows why that Bearded Fool's Bypassing the union rules. Why insert him in the plot? What's so special that YOU'VE got? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,(guest) Severn Date: 18 Nov 15 - 12:13 PM I won't Question your Marksist tendencies and you bet your "S" that you gotta quit Stallin' and drop dome more clues. I hate to be Russian you, but December lurks in the near future Here's a question, though. Have I ever met you in person? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Taunto, Jaqui's Native American Santa Scout Date: 18 Nov 15 - 03:56 PM Trying to find a gift for Jacqui Lots of fun, but not too tacky. I'm no elf impersonation. Accept me without reservation. Santa gave me a special mission To fulfill your Christmas wishin' It's too big for someone smaller No matter how that elf might holler. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Sizzling Secret Santa Date: 19 Nov 15 - 03:54 PM Bonjour mon petit. The elves are working their wee little fingers to the bone to get your gifties ready for delivery. I told them 'drop everything else and do this job tout suite.' Of course, it would have been better if they hadn't literally dropped everything. The mess on the workshop floor took a while to clear up and some of those stains still haven't come out. We've noted your likes and dislikes and hope that the finished items will suit you down to the ground. Hopefully nothing will upset the customs officials down under and Rudolph assures us that there is still time to get the package to you before Christmas Day. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Anne Lister's Abstruse Leprechaun Date: 20 Nov 15 - 01:31 PM To encapsulate the international intentions of this endeavour, you may require some form of translation device for my communications. Or in simple terms, the Grumpy Old Git (GOG) has been trying to learn as many languages as possible, and has decided to read the huge pile of unwanted dictionaries, phrasebooks and thesauruses (thesauri?) that modern younguns have no use for. Dyma ni eto. Mae'n amser hwnnw unwaith eto ar gyfer anrhegion a hwyl. Ваш Секретный Санта начал охоту за совершенных элементов. Ole na ole mbụ e họrọ. Aktar se jkun jinstab fil-jiem u ġimgħat li ġejjin. Ntxiv kev sib txuas lus yuav ua raws li nrog tshiab.

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Anne Lister Date: 21 Nov 15 - 01:33 PM Gosh, thank you, Santa - that's almost like my pile of works to be read, although luckily most aren't in Cyrillic. I think Rudolph might have been taking typing lessons from one of our cats. I'm very impressed! And looking forward enormously to whenever the anrhegion can be delivered. I'll make sure we have a drop or two of the good stuff waiting for you (in this case, Penderyn whiskey). Unless you prefer the Merlyn? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Jaqui's Enraged She-Elf on the shelf Date: 21 Nov 15 - 02:44 PM Enough of this rhyming! Just because I have been recently attached to the Northeast USA sector after serving Santa well in several other countries in what was supposed to be a promotion based on merit, I get told by Santa defer to this American Red Indian in Jaqui's special case, because he knows the the territory better than I do? The case is under review, citing several kinds of prejudice (sex, race, rank, time in service), while both of us are working on the job so that neither one of us falls behind and leaves you without a gift. And here he is writing you poetry, when it was I who told him that that just by putting "um" after every word in the last line in a poem doesn't make it rhyme. I'll makum him quakeum before I'm through with him! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Severn Date: 21 Nov 15 - 03:49 PM No messages from anyone in the SESSS Pool in awhile. Drop me a line, straight or otherwise, so we can adjust to a juiced-up joust of jests in jester little while...... Hash & McGhee have been checking with all the local wee folk and wildlife and you haven't been seen, either, nor have any over-sibulant hissing been heard, but of course, that might just mean you're good at what you're doing.... So where are you and on what continent do you originate? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,The SESSS Date: 21 Nov 15 - 05:56 PM Just dwelling with the pond life for a while and digging deep for ideas What continent do I dwell in? - well that's a stupid question the North Pole has always been in the Arctic although according to reports in the science world we may be flipping over in the next 100 000 000 years or so - better get a sun hat and glasses then. Ah The SESSS - they seek it here they seek it there who knows the true identity just be good and all will be revealed (within reason) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,rapparee's secret santa's elf. Date: 22 Nov 15 - 02:09 PM As if I didn't have enough to do Santa has gone off on travels and left me to get some gifts together and get them sent off. In time for Christmas. So on with the winter warmers and off I go. Have not fear,something will be with you ,soon. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Severn Date: 22 Nov 15 - 04:45 PM I suppose the Arctic is getting a little runny and incontinent. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: jacqui.c Date: 23 Nov 15 - 11:14 AM Oooooh! Fighting between Taunto and the Elf. That's enough of that. I'm sure Santa would be very upset in the Season of Goodwill, even between elves and the like. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's sizzling Secret Santa Date: 23 Nov 15 - 12:44 PM Those elves have been working overtime this week, even though there is no pay for it. I guess they just wanted to make sure that your were gifties were ready to go as quickly as possible. Anyway, they are ready for dispatch and will be heading out the door today. Rudolph assures me that there is plenty of time for delivery before Christmas Day. I hope so, otherwise reindeer steaks may be on the menu for Boxing Day! |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Jacqui's Somewhat Sorry Secretive Santa Date: 24 Nov 15 - 02:46 PM Dear Jacqui, Taunto and your territory's elf were sent to a meeting room to work this out amongst themselves, each bringing their assembled goodies. Taunto is actually offering her a pipe and it looks like she's accepting it. It looks from here that something is being worked out. Let us certainly hope so, but they're still in discussion, so we shall see. I had left this matter to the Regional Supervisor, and he is in a bit of hot water over this, which can be twice as bad when you're at the North Pole. Please excuse our organizational mistake, Jacqui. This might even work out in your favor if there's no duplication in their bags. Thank you for your patience, Your Secretive Santa |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: jacqui.c Date: 24 Nov 15 - 05:00 PM Thank you Santa - you are a star. I know how difficult it is to get good staff - the Mummers Play at the Getaway will attest tot that! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Firecat Date: 24 Nov 15 - 05:03 PM Sarah, I seem to have a silent Santa too. *hugs* Maybe they're getting our pressies ready before they want to talk to us! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Hollowfox's Secret Santa Date: 25 Nov 15 - 10:21 AM At great personal peril I have procured the promiscuous purple polyester peignoir pressie you pleaded for. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Jacqui Secretive Santa Date: 25 Nov 15 - 12:23 PM A staff infection is hard to cure this time of year. Anyway, the elfin lass and the Native American scout have gone off searching for appropriate objects. We shall see how that goes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Rapparee Date: 26 Nov 15 - 09:29 PM Yes, I am again both Santa and Santee. I won't tell you who I'm santaing for because he/she/both/other/none will know soon enough. Let me say that this year will surpass all previous efforts! For a hint, see here. It won't do you any good, but look anyway. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Sizzling Secret Santa Date: 28 Nov 15 - 10:20 AM Well, that reindeer was certainly making sure his hide stayed intact! I have news of his arrival in Oz and it looks like he charmed the customs officials to let him through without any hold up. Sandra - you can open the package when it reaches you and there is one little item that can be opened immediately. The rest should remain under wraps until the big day. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Firefox's Ican'tthinkofanalliteration Santa Date: 28 Nov 15 - 02:54 PM I have procured your gift from the far Amazon. ASAP I shall wrap it and send it forthwith. (Sorry, not much for rhyming today either). |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Severn Date: 29 Nov 15 - 02:34 PM Thanks, Rap! That narrows it down a bit..... I hope that someone other than Rapparee has been giving their rapt attention to the wrapping the gift that I will be in rapture (if the PO doesn't rupture) to receive when someone comes rapping at my door (asking where the chimney is). |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Severn Date: 01 Dec 15 - 02:42 PM MC SESSS? Do I have a rapport with a rapper or a Scot?..... Be careful crossing 'SNoMan's Land, as aircraft rushin' to their destination have been shot down around Turkey Day and we wouldn't want a sleigh among the sleighn....... The House Brownies have not detected any strange Wee Folk in the neighborhood yet. When they do, they usually set up a party for local and visiting height-challenged folk and their attendant critters. Santa gets fed inside..... I'm glad to see Sarah's Santa finally appeared after pleading Temporary InSpainity, so she can start happily tootling on her pip with joy while her elves are busy be-avering..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Sizzling Secret Santa Date: 01 Dec 15 - 07:24 PM OK - just had word from Rudolph that he tried to deliver your parcel today but wasn't able to leave it (something about no chimney - that boy just doesn't use horizontal thinking, must be something to do with the reason the nose is so red...). He will try again today, he says. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 02 Dec 15 - 04:11 AM I think he is telling you a fib, Santa, I collected my parcel today! unless you sent 2 parcels? I was going to leave the pressie you said I could open immediately, but decided not to wait & found a very cute little crocheted reindeer! thankyou santa |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: billybob Date: 02 Dec 15 - 10:40 AM Oh I do have a Santa and he is grinning! Does he know I am in New Jersey,but I will be back home Friday, so I better get the chimney cleaned when I get unpacked? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Vectis's overly-venerable Santa Date: 02 Dec 15 - 01:46 PM I realise your name was sliced in two on my last missive, dear Vectis, and this may account for your silence so far as you may not have realised the message was for you. I am still pondering what to send, but I have no doubt that the elves will, as usual, craft something utterly splendid for you. In case you were wondering, a fine cognac will be most welcome, and a few Chantenay carrots for the reindeer. I'm doing my best to avoid the mince pies these days - or only eat one or two. Got to watch that waist line, don't you know. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,The SESSS getting active Date: 09 Dec 15 - 09:04 AM Look to the skies Severn Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's the SESSS on a rap heh heh |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Severn Date: 09 Dec 15 - 03:41 PM If you're up dere in da skies, how do I recognize you? Now, I always have tended to look up to da skies, often in awe and admiration for dem, but if you rap on sky, who can hear you knock? Can you be airborne simply by reputation? Is there a Rap City in the Wild Blue, where you can stay? If you're not a bird or plane or on another plane altogether, howda you stay up dere? To air is not usually human. To fore-give can be more divine than Andy or pecan candy. To post-give is fore-givable somehow, as you can usually blame it on the post. Therefore, however you manage it, I'll be anxiously be waiting, hopefully without much wait-loss. I love a mystery...... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Vectis' venerable viskery gentleman Date: 09 Dec 15 - 06:16 PM Well, my dear Vectis, I have no idea whether you are reading this thread or not, as you have not replied to my previous messages. However, this is to let you know that today a small bundle of gifts has started its journey to you ...let's hope there are no delays. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Hollowfox's Nemesis Date: 09 Dec 15 - 09:26 PM Little do you know! That peignoir you wanted was taken by a flock of rabid man-eating bats to use as a nest. I assumed that you would not want it, so I have obtained Something Else for you. I know that you like to cook and so have arranged for some fresh fish to be delivered. Well, they were fresh when they were purchased but with international postal rates being what they are and all I had to do the best I could. How are things in Garrettsville? |

Just a slight detour via the antipodes to do first but we'll be with you very soon. Watch out there's a prezzie about. Ho! Ho! Ho! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Firefox's hardworking Secret Santa Date: 17 Dec 15 - 04:34 PM You haven't been forgotten. Stupid elves forgot that you row with the current to get down the Amazon. I think they've been hitting the glitterpaint thinner again. RrRrRr. Note: Apparent playful wordplay for all readers - it is this elf's belief that the post was actually from firecat's hard-working Santa. (A non-participatory elf was doing some head-scratching trying to follow the permutations of the game). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Hollowfox at work Date: 17 Dec 15 - 04:39 PM Ah, my dear Nemesis. I love and appreciate bats. Anything that eats pests is a friend of mine, so you made the right choice. As for the fish, I've always wanted to try my hand at making lutefisk. Thank you so much for your wise decisions. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: billybob Date: 18 Dec 15 - 08:04 AM Thank you Santa, so excited, the chimney is soot free and I will leave out some carrots for the reindeer. Mince pie and glass of port? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Hollowfox's Nemesis Santa Date: 19 Dec 15 - 03:02 PM Ah! I see that you have been, well, a bit naughty. But you have also been nice. Nicely naughty. But as soon as Rudolf gets his nose job, Prancer gets a new carburetor, Dunder and Blitzen decide who's who, and Elves and Sprites Local 679 approves the new contract with Mrs. Claus your pressie or pressies will be on the way, if the weather clears. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Firecat's Scurrying Secret Santa Date: 21 Dec 15 - 08:56 AM Too right you are about the nom de mistake. I finally gave up on tracking canoes on the Amazon and hunted down the proper quarry myself. Now I'm going all literary on this project, and sending it by owl. It should be there by Twelfth Night (Old Christmas is my excuse). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Anne Lister's Abstruse Leprechaun Date: 21 Dec 15 - 02:27 PM After last year's fiasco, where GOG thought he'd got the sack, the parcel has been entrusted to other scarlet-garbed individuals. This in itself was not particularly simple, as the elf charged with the dispatch was missing for several days, later being discovered at the local timber yard. My own fault, really. I shouldn't have requested they took your parcel to the post office. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Anne Lister Date: 21 Dec 15 - 03:02 PM Scarlet-garbed individuals makes me think of the Household Cavalry, but we don't see much of them in this part of the United Kingdom. Or the local hunt, but they don't usually deliver anything. I will await with eager anticipation. Thank you for letting me know that the package is in transit, at least! I shall bake a batch of fresh mince pies. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Rapparee Date: 21 Dec 15 - 09:03 PM Anne: Perhaps these scarlet coated gentlefolk were meant? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Firecat's finally footresting Secret Santa Date: 22 Dec 15 - 01:12 PM The owl has been launched. The slingshot (what you folk call a catapult) was slung yesterday, and I think the snap was strong enough to get the pressie to you by Twelfth Night, perhaps New Years. It's kind of a bare bones trip, no stuffing with my local newspaper so you can see what our funny papers look like, etc. But hey, owls can only carry so much. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Anne Lister Date: 22 Dec 15 - 06:27 PM ooooh, Rap - they look like a lot more fun! But I'll need a lot more mince pies if so! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Jacqui's Secret Seasonal Santa Date: 23 Dec 15 - 04:58 PM Well, it was you that suggested that the animosity between Taunto and a certain she-elf should cease and a solution be found. Well, apparently their little talk went better than expected and after running around for more gifts to add to what they had accumulated separately, they left the bounty in my office in a bag, both announced that they were taking leave (quite unheard of at this time of year) and they made plane connections for Las Vegas. Who would of thought. Anyway, the bag of goodies has been located and is winging its way to you, and you should be pleased. Rest ye merry, Santa |
|

This is 'way too many adventures for one gift - I mean I knew what to get you and everything. So as soon as you let me know it arrived, I'll tell you who I am. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Ma Cher Hollowfox, c'est St. Nick Date: 07 Jan 16 - 01:36 PM Dear Ms Fox, The flying monkeys (borrowed from a friend who suffered a meltdown) failed in their duty. Miserably failed. I found them playing with your gifts. They have been suitably chastised, bad performance appraisals have been written, and they will not receive good letters of recommendation. First the elves, and now this! No matter, my dear. Your gifts have been dispatched via a much more reliable carrier. Sincerely and apologetically yours, X St. Nicholas (his mark) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Jan 16 - 09:49 PM Hollowfox, I heard from your Santa. I had to talk that person off of a ledge, they were so disconsolate that your parcel had been bounced around by the postal authorities. Please let us know when it arrives, so this individual will stop tying nooses in the barn back behind the house. |
