Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Megan L's Elvish Elves Date: 04 Nov 05 - 01:54 AM Megan me girl! We were wondering where you were. You weren't in Santa's toy cupboard so we thought perhaps you were outside monstering Rudolph. We have been very busy helping Santa choose some goodies for you and soon, very soon, we will be making The Big Trip to the post box. Unfortunately we couldn't send the champagne so we decided to drink it ourselves (geddit? oursELVES? no?.......never mind) and it was very nice so thank you. Best Regards The Elves |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,El Punkoid Nouveau's Santa Ancienne Date: 03 Nov 05 - 05:39 PM Your svelte and sexy sometimes Saint Would have more fun observing paint, Which dries so slowly (near the Pole) The stillness nearly kills the soul! But still, with paint, something DOES change Although quite small in breadth and range; Unlike the still where Vixen, Dancer, And my svelte self await your answer. Therefore, I urge you, do give forth With hints to us so far up North. Or else we'll stop at Mrs Grundy's And buy you brand-new Big Girl undies. EPN's SA |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,to all those with tardy Santas Date: 03 Nov 05 - 05:15 PM Ouch! Bummer!!!!!!!! I have dispatched the elves hither and yon, barraging my Santee with weekly cards. So now I address these wishes to all of you, named and unnamed, who have not heard from your Santas. (Those named I have addressed by said monikers; those unnamed, if you had groused publically, I would have named you too.) Mooman, I wish you manifold the peace you wish to all of us so bounteously. I also wish you a giant PIECE of Christmas pudding! Cllr, I wish you all the ColLoRs of the rainbow to decorate your life. Crane Driver, I wish you a smooth highway for your journey, and may others do the heavy lifting. Stephen Lee, may your you and your new bride have a life as full of unexpected surprises with happy conclusions as your wedding. Seaking, may you find everything your heart desires under the tree and in life in general. Megan C., may you always see clearly the right way before you. C also stands for cake, carols, and Christmas—may the three come together abundantly. Alba, may your voice echo from the mountains and return to you all the beauty you give to the world. JacquiC, may you and your Kendall live long to make music and merriment together. To you and everyone else whose Santas have not yet shown up, may it be because they are sooooo engrossed in preparing something very special for you that they have lost track of time and all else, and have simply forgotten to post a wee message to their dear Santees. God bless us every one! A lonely Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: katlaughing Date: 03 Nov 05 - 05:06 PM Dear Secret Santa, I am a little bit worried about you. I've played along because I think that's what one must do in order to not upset the um...hopelessly demen..., no, I mean those who live in a different reality. In that vein, I do hope you remember what it was Major Benjy suggested, as long as it's not some kind of fish! Thanks so much, no matter what, Dear, dear Santa, kat(I DO believe in Santa, I DO believe in Santa!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Crane Driver Date: 03 Nov 05 - 02:19 PM No sign of my Santa this year either - and my Santee hasn't shown much interest in my initial anonymous ramblings either. Looks like I'm in for a quiet time this $mas. Ah well, Happy Easter. Andrew |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,CLLR's Secret Santa Date: 03 Nov 05 - 01:39 PM I'm sorry, mate. I have not forgotten you. I just have not been around these parts much, trying to get my bloody elves iin line....Can you believe the little bastards actually went on strike? They said I wasn't giving them any pay or benefits...and they wanted Christmas off...I feed them, I clothe them...and the benefit is I let the little blighters live in the warmth under a roof...instead of outside in the cold...I sent my reindeer after them...and they'll sort things out in short order. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Den Date: 03 Nov 05 - 10:42 AM How poetic. I'm happy to know that I have a Santa. I have been good all year, or as good as can be expected. Anyway I'm pretty easy to please. I'm into loads of stuff. Irish trad. Texas folk; like Guy Clark, Townes VanZandt. Although I do have most of their stuff. I collect Asterix the Gaul stuff, especially the little Plastoy figures. I'm a soccer nut. I like the colour green. I'm a graphic design book junky. And on and on. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,The Info gathering Pixie Date: 03 Nov 05 - 06:11 AM ,,,yes Guest point well made. It would also be helpful if some of the Santees who haven't let their Santa's know their likes and dislikes posted some info too!! That way furry, petite sized, Pink Bedsocks don't go to a Mudcat Misters (unless that's what a particular MM wants) and that old Christmas classic bottle of "Old Spice" doesn't arrive to grace one of the Mudcat Women's dressing Tables...( unless that's what any of the MW requested!!)**BG** Info is power, the power to shop/make/the right choice for the right Santee and the difference between getting a pressie someone likes or a pressie someone just plain .... get my drift....!!!!! 54 days till Chrimbo....anyone still got info to share...don't be shy..***pixie smile*** TIGP |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST Date: 03 Nov 05 - 05:50 AM It looks like there are 88 Santa/Santees this year from the content of the threads, but it also looks like there are 20 who haven't heard from their Santas. Come on you Elusive Santas, hint to your Santees and spread that Christmas Cheer! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: greg stephens Date: 03 Nov 05 - 05:47 AM To my Yuletide Benefactor: if you are unsure as to how long six feet is, I suggest the best way to figure it out is to straighten the alligator(or crocodile) out on the floor. It can be quite difficult to make it stay straight, a rope at either end tied off to opposite doorknobs or something may be necessary.(Don't make the common mistake of tying off to drawer handles, these animals are quite powerful and can pull drawers right out). Then you lie down beside it. If it's longer than you are, then it's too big to be my present. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 03 Nov 05 - 05:45 AM Many thanks my Own Dearest Secret Santa Aha, simple I may be, but with major hints like that I should be able to whittle it down *grin* Seems you are also from an Island Nation!

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 02 Nov 05 - 03:13 PM Santa Dearest!! Well, I don't have access to a globe, but as your hints get broader so I get closer to my goal *grin* Are your seasons the reverse of ours in the UK? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,The SS of My Guru Always Said Date: 02 Nov 05 - 02:32 PM No, we have never met. Have you looked at the world globe yet? :-) Your Secretive Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Secret Santa Date: 02 Nov 05 - 01:32 PM After much deliberation, Sandra, I believe I have come up with the perfect surprise for you. It will be on its way Down Under very soon, so as to get there in time for the holiday. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Kim C no cookie Date: 02 Nov 05 - 01:26 PM Well, Santy, I am a 38 year old girl folksinger - fiddler - bellydancer - knitter - graduate student (literature). I have many interests and am not at all particular about what Santa brings me. However I do enjoy trinkets and geegaws (and sweets!) that have to do with your part of the world. :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Seaking Date: 02 Nov 05 - 05:08 AM My Secret Santa is obviously very shy this year.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 01 Nov 05 - 03:51 PM Hey Santa!!! Have we met? Or am I barking up the wrong wall-chart????? |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Nov 05 - 04:15 AM Oi, Elves!! You are not employed as General Festival Elves, get back in those green tights and jingly hats and get on with your work! But just in case, it's a busy week here.... Happy Samhain, Eid ul Fitur, Diwali, All Saints Day and Rastafarian Accession of Heile Salassi! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Blackcatter's Batty and Bothered Santa Date: 31 Oct 05 - 05:50 PM The elves have been travelling far and wide in an attempt to fill your requirements. They are threatening to demand an increase in mileage allowances and extra beer rations!!! They reminded me that at this time of year I need to wish you Happy Samhain if I do not want to get into trouble. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Pseudolus Date: 31 Oct 05 - 03:39 PM Helen, I've had the pleasure of meeting Seamus Kennedy, although I've known him since before hangin out here at Mudcat. So you're right Helen, it's quality not quantity! I really need to get out to a gathering sometime.... :) Frank P.S. Ya think maybe Seamus put out the word? and warned everyone about me? :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Megan L Date: 31 Oct 05 - 03:14 PM aw cum oan santa gies a clue ahm lukin forward tae word frae you |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Helen Date: 31 Oct 05 - 02:14 PM Pseudolus, I've been at Mudcat since 1997 and I've met 4 Mudcatters. But who's counting? :-) And in the case of Mudcat it's quality and not quantity that counts. In my case it's the fact of living on a very, very large island surrounded (girt) by sea with a relatively small population. (Who's Gert?) Helen in Oz |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,greg stephen's undisclosed yule-tide benefac Date: 31 Oct 05 - 01:05 PM greg- you say no alligators longer then six foot. What is that in metric? I wish to be sure not to cause a coranary and have you end in hospital. Does the length limit also apply to crocodiles? yours; gsuy-tb |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: MMario Date: 31 Oct 05 - 12:47 PM Dear SSecret SSAnta: Sorry I didn't see your note when first your posted - but I was Chocolate? yes. Yummy. Not particular, though I *appreciate* good chocolate I always give chocolate a chance. Diets don't effect chocolate consumption!~ SSilly SSanta! Chocolate is exempt from diets! Bourbon no, Scotch normally only if a single malt, coffee and tea but not decaf! "City Dude" and "sophisticated" I don't think have ever been used to describe me. And as far as guessing - I suspect you are on the right hand of the pond - but that could just be trying to throw me off. MMario |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Pseudolus Date: 31 Oct 05 - 12:32 PM To my Gorgeous secret santa, More about myself? Hmmmm, I'm married to an amazing woman and I'm the father of two teen-aged girls (14 and 16) and father to twin boys (just turned 2!). The amazing woman provided the twins! I've been lurking around the mudcat for about 5 years or so and I probably hold the record for the longest mudcat tenure while meeting the fewest mudcatters face to face! I play the guitar and sing, and at my church I am the Contemporary Praise Team leader along with my wife. In that group I play the drums which is an old bad habit I picked up in high school. I'm 47 years young and one of my favorite activities is coaching my daughters in a variety of sports. I think that about covers it! Frank |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,The SS of My Guru Always Said Date: 31 Oct 05 - 01:13 AM Well, I don't want to make it TOO easy, but if you had a world globe would this hint make more sense? "I think that it'd be safe to say that you couldn't be more wrong in your guess at my geographic location." Your secretive Secret Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Charmion Date: 30 Oct 05 - 06:29 PM Oh, Father (Mother?) Christmas, could it be that you are *threatening* me? Dead mouse and smelly sock, and not even Hallowe'en yet! But you've given me a good hint to your identity -- you've got to be at least partly feline, with such tid-bits at your disposal. But since you ask ... I am 51 years old and I play the guitar and the mandolin. I have just acquired a tenor banjo. My favourite colour is green. I like CDs with mixed songs and tunes, preferably traditional. Something from your home area would be nice, just so long as the soloists do not meow. An all-instrumental CD that I could listen to while working would be great; I think I'm wearing out my copy of "Old Hearth" by Robin Huw Bowen. I like history, memoirs and biography (but not the gossipy film-star kind), and novels, especially Terry Pratchett and good detective stories such as those by Minette Walters, John Brady and Peter Robinson. I like song books and tune collections. I read dots & tadpoles, but struggle with tabulature. No t-shirts, thank-you very much; I have one that says "Eat More Possum" and therefore need no others. I don't collect stuff, at least not on purpose. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 30 Oct 05 - 06:08 PM So, my Dear Secret Santa, you know so much about me but I know so little of you - broader hints please for this Stoopid Santee.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Freda's Careless Claus Date: 30 Oct 05 - 03:07 PM Only one card? The post must be slow this week.... The site that you pointed to is incorrect in one significant fact. The jackalope (which is not any relation to the antilabbit) is actually a juvenile form of the north pole reindeer. The latter, in turn, really is a separate species from the northern European reindeer, in that they are able to fly. The jackalope, which one can easily see is related to the deer, practices flying by taking prodigious long jumps...up to fifteen metres. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,SharonA's Starting to Stress Santa Date: 30 Oct 05 - 02:52 PM Still nothing from Sharon! If anybody knows Sharon, or knows what she might like, please let me know. I'm starting to get really worried now because I can't find stuff for her unless I know what she might like!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Open Mikes exhausted secret santa Date: 30 Oct 05 - 01:43 PM that north pole gets harder to reach every year. Now all I have to do is find my way to the nearest town and attack the shop. |
