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? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Sarah's saucily secret Santa Date: 10 Dec 15 - 11:45 PM Ho! Ho! Ho! The elves have loaded the sleigh and we are ready for the off. 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: Hollowfox Date: 22 Dec 15 - 11:23 PM Nicely naughty - we must have met! Were you that WONderful soul I met in the dusky dark after the bawdy song session last summer? I kinda hope 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 |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: jacqui.c Date: 24 Dec 15 - 01:24 PM Just can't get the staff, can you! I shall be back in the USA on Monday evening and will let you know when the goodies arrive. Have a great Christmas. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Firecat's Out of Alliterations and Acronyms Date: 26 Dec 15 - 10:23 AM I just realized that in my haste to catapult the owl, I neglected to identify my Mudcat self in the package. 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,The SESSS Date: 26 Dec 15 - 08:01 PM SSSSSevern ...it's Ob so quiet....has anything landed yet? The SESSS - a little worried that maybe the reindeer have done too much rapping and not enough delivering |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: GUEST,Hollowfox's Nemesis Date: 26 Dec 15 - 10:20 PM Ah, yes. I remember that little adventure. Ah yes, I remember it well. But I wanted to tell you that the Elf Strike is over. It ended just today, after the So your gift or gifts will be on its/their way very shortly. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Taunting, 2015 edition From: Hollowfox Date: 27 Dec 15 - 05:22 PM That's all right, honey, I've got time. Thanks for the update. |

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. |
