Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 26 Feb 03 - 05:13 PM Perhaps we should institute the White Elephant consolation prize: where do the folks live who didn't receive their SS packages? Is there a Mudcatter nearby who can find a token gift to send along to the despondent Santee? SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,Bardford Date: 14 Dec 02 - 03:16 PM Santa, I looked out my window in the darkening hours Anticipating rare celestial showers Alas! The firmament was overclouded: Your gift, like your identity (for a while anyway) in mystery shrouded. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,Bat Goddess' Secret Santa Date: 14 Dec 02 - 02:56 PM Okay, so maybe you DO know who I am, but I'll keep it secret and just let you guess. You have a package on the way on Monday and it comes from very close by so I expect it will arrive before Christmas. It is not what I intended but I think you'll be happy. When the spring comes, actually late spring, I will send you what I think you will enjoy even more. I cannot say why I have to wait this long, but you will also get a Christmas present in May or June as well. Merry Christmas and enjoy the first package!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Genie Date: 13 Dec 02 - 10:43 PM Santa, my not having identified you yet has more to do with my not having had time to search thru the thread you've alluded to than with anything else. I've been trying to connect your clues with Mudcatters that I already 'know,' and so far, I've been able to eliminate all the ones I can think of. Since it's pretty clear you and I had not communicated much (if at all) before our SS assignments, I've just gotta go through those threads. I probably won't be able to do it until the week of Christmas, but rest assured, I will. Meanwhile, don't make it too easy for me. (I was trying to make that "double" thing harder, since I don't know of any Mudcats who are twins. But you just wait. I will.) Genie PS, Gotta go buy someone an Eddie Rabbit CD and a recording of the Chicken Dance for Christmas. |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,Bardford's Celestial Santa Date: 13 Dec 02 - 01:29 PM Hey, Bardford! Look out your window tonight (or, better yet, go up on the roof and look up), and if it's not too cloudy or the moon's not too bright, you'll see the first installment of my present for you. Nobody else can see this present, of course. ;-) It's just for you! Here's a 'preview' (from another show in November): Ho Ho Ho |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,Genie's Secret Santa. Date: 13 Dec 02 - 12:49 PM Hi Genie: Well your presents are on the way from the east. Nothing major, but at least I spent a lot of time thinking about them. All will be revealed when they arrive. Here's some help deciphering my clues: I'm a twin I had a broken foot about 2 years ago I've changed my Mudcat name I love 20's and 30's music and have contributed a lot to threads of a certain "roots" genre We have a dog, cat, and a rabbit as pets (If you look hard enough you might find a picture of our rabbit) I play instruments that some think are strange A mudcatter lives behind me and can see into our bathroom window from their porch There are A LOT of mudcatters and folkies where I live I've sung a shanty or two too. My first registered post in Mudcat was in early 1999 (though I participated as a guest in 1998) Let me know when the package arrives, and what you think about it. Your S.S. |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Pushkin Date: 13 Dec 02 - 07:02 AM Yep, I'm a Secret Santa. My present to my SS has been sent, received and opened. But she still doesn't know it's me. Pushkin |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Genie Date: 12 Dec 02 - 05:23 AM Well, Santa, Kendall says he ain't you but he knows who you are. I'm trying to remember who it was who hurt his foot a while back. I remember it coming up in the forum (the injury, not the foot itself), but, dang it, I can't remember who (although I have a couple of suspects). Still sniffing. Genie (Penny Blue?) |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,Itinerant Santa Date: 11 Dec 02 - 10:59 PM Actually, I did format both those "drawings" properly when I posted them, and they showed up fine both in the preview and right afterwards when I checked the thread. The next day, on a different computer (same format) the first post appeared out of alignment, so I configured and posted the second one. That night, the first post continued to appear screwed up but the second one looked fine (in preview and in the forum). The next day the FIRST one looked fine again, but the SECOND one was out of alignment! Gotta be those *%!*@! elves! |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,Genie's Secret Santa Date: 10 Dec 02 - 11:18 PM Genie! Whew! I was beginning to give up on your prognastic prowess. You are on the right coast, but alas I've never been a Sea Captain, nor had a one legged man chase me across the country (but look out for my Evil Twin. He appears in the middle of the night in the strangest places by following the sound of caterwalling 'catters). I have sung a shanty or two, and wondered about a Minch. I've cried for help as I searched for what I lost but no one could hear me. Where I live folkies are everywhere. Call it luck or fortune, but we even have to shut the bathroom shades to avoid 'catters stares.
My own secret santa still hasn't left a clue, but my identity will become apparent when you get your last gift. It's in the mail tomorrow if we don't get caught be freezing rain.
O (Amos Knows) |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Genie Date: 10 Dec 02 - 09:57 PM OK, Santa, I'm beginning to think one of my initial suspicions was right. But I'm still trying to figure out that duality/double thing (unless it has something to do with Mattel). Hmmm I'm thinking lighthouses, old records, and recently recovered voices... Genie |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Mudlark Date: 10 Dec 02 - 08:55 PM Dear Itenerant Santa... Just looking at you makes me want to join you in some of that holiday cheer you've obviously been enjoying! (A person has to believe in something, and I believe I'll have another drink...) |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Burke Date: 10 Dec 02 - 06:15 PM I got a package in the mail yesterday. The Postmark was Newark, the return address is Mudcat. Inside a new Disc World Novel by Terri Pratchett. Santa, thank you so much! I won't get any sleep for the rest of the week. WHO ARE YOU?? At least tell me your Mudcat name, even if not your real one. Burke |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,Bardford Date: 10 Dec 02 - 01:41 PM Hey Santa - how's it goin', eh ? What's wrong with yer moose, buddy? Reminds me of that song- "Green Eyes Crying in The Reindeer". How'd you do that artwork- I'm almost afraid to ascii. I gotta tell you, Santa, even with the preponderance of clues you've peppered in my path, I'm no closer to ferreting out your true identity. Kudos to you! You are indeed the Supreme Santa of subterfuge, the sublimely nefarious Saint Nick of namelessness, the Pere Noel de perfectione, the Claus that refreshes. Looking forward to continued communication, Your humbled Santee, Bardford |

And at last I have found a man that can tame my tiger, not to mention quell uprisings and run a government (could be useful here at present!!) Thanks Wilco and the tape of the Blaylock Brothers is grreat too. (See that tiger just won't behave!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,Genie's Secret Santa Date: 08 Dec 02 - 10:40 PM Ah HaH! There is a copycat santa in our midst! He is not me! To InterantT Santa. To make ascii pictures work you must use the pre and /pre commands to set the text in fixed width. It looks like you have added Rudolf. I Would love to see it unjumbled. Here is another clue. I love to sing HO HO HO wherever I go, but sometimes all that comes out is h__ h__ h__. My voice is gone, where I don't know. G.S.S. |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Helen Date: 06 Dec 02 - 06:49 PM Depends which ocean and where from, I guess. But OzCats tend to be very patient when waiting for mail from over the pond. 2 weeks is usually a miracle, 3 is normal. 3 may be a miracle in December, but that probably doesn't apply to you, dear SS, because you posted it so early. ..........Waiting patiently...... patiently......... patiently.......... Dum-de-dum-de-dum......... Whistle, whistle. Is it here yet, is it here?? Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Mudlark Date: 04 Dec 02 - 02:47 AM Yes, YES, I am a Secret Santa. There, it is such a relief to admit it. I have not sent off pkg yet as I am still hunting for a few extra bits, but hope to have it sent off by the end of the week. I hope I can please my Santee as much as my Santa has pleased me! |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,MMario's Secret Santa Date: 04 Dec 02 - 01:17 AM So many choices, he has many interests, but says he's easy to please. At least there's time to mail it before the weekend and have it go parcel post. . . My goal is to send a gift that is a surprise and a pleasure to receive. |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: John MacKenzie Date: 03 Dec 02 - 04:08 PM Bucks Fizz is Champagne and fresh OJ, Mary Christmas; well time will tell on that one. Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: SharonA Date: 03 Dec 02 - 04:06 PM Linn: Ah! I get it now. Agreed that there is a glut of holidays this time of year; for me it's accentuated (I won't say "aggravated") by my father's birthday and my niece's birthday. When my mother was living, we also had my parents' anniversary to celebrate! I'll still pick Christmas Day as the day to open any presents I receive from Santa, be (s)he Secret or not! Giok: What's "bucks fizz"? And who is Mary Christmas?? ;^) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Fortunato Date: 03 Dec 02 - 03:29 PM I'm a secret santa, I'm a secret santa...I mailed the package to my little old santee in a faraway land today. Until then I'm not telling who! |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: John MacKenzie Date: 03 Dec 02 - 03:22 PM Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. I've got a blue grass santa. Thanks santa, your pressie arrived today, [how did you know my shirt size?] No seriously though I got my package today, and it's salted away for Xmas. We sit up in bed on Xmas morning, drink bucks fizz, and open our goodies, so that's something else to look forward to. So I hope your significant other wont mind, but I'll be in bed thinking of you, Mary Christmas. Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: GUEST,Katlaughing's SS Date: 03 Dec 02 - 03:17 PM Wee gifties wrapped, about to be sent To a certain Colorado resident. Happy solstice and all best to you - Hope you don't mind if parcel arrives postage due. Ho,ho,ho! I'm jesting - don't call in the State Troopers from Mesa County, (or Interpol, FBI or the Canadian Mounties) Everyone knows Santa delivers free gratis To Santees in the Western Coloradas. |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Bat Goddess Date: 03 Dec 02 - 02:55 PM What I meant was, there are too many (not really; especially if you like celebrating them all!!!) mid-winter holidays. (And we NEED mid-winter celebrations -- gotta bring the sun back!) Pick your favorite (which all seem to fall between the first of December and the 6th of January, although I'm rather fond of Robert Burns' Birthday on Jan. 25th myself -- but I certainly won't wait til then to open MY present!!!) and open up your prezzie within the celebration and ritual of your choice. (Hey, is that all-enclusive enough?!?) Linn |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Mrs.Duck Date: 03 Dec 02 - 12:16 PM Oh Santa I really do believe in you!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Genie Date: 03 Dec 02 - 11:59 AM I'm with you, Sharon. Christmas is anticlimactic enough as it is, without opening all your presents ahead of time! Yeah, blasphemy! Just plain blasphemy! ¤;-D |

Subject: RE: BS: Admit to being a Secret Santa !!! From: Fibula Mattock Date: 03 Dec 02 - 08:45 AM Way-hey-hey! My secret santa is still secretly santa-ing. Way to go, Santa baby! |
