Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Edain's Santet Secra Date: 07 Nov 02 - 05:48 PM By the way, my dear, do you have a way of listening to CDs, or would it just become a shiny round tree ornament? Inquiring benefactors want to know...not that you would necessarily be receiving a CD, of course, but one can't be too careful. SS |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: SINSULL Date: 07 Nov 02 - 05:37 PM Well, DAMN! My SS came and went. I wanted to be sure it was understood that although I love miniatures, I like my men BIG! Just in case... |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Amergin Date: 07 Nov 02 - 04:55 PM yeah i know....and i also know i get coal every year..... |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Gloredhel Date: 07 Nov 02 - 04:53 PM (Amergin, that was mean!) Dear Santa, I love new musical sounds, although I must say I have never before heard music made with sixteen sauce pans, one moggie, and two tea kettles. I'm sure it would be very, erm, interesting.... Good to know you're still out there, and that at least somebody thinks I'm good! --G :) |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: SharonA Date: 07 Nov 02 - 09:06 AM That's okay, Santa. I'm glad you're back! Thanks for letting me know that you haven't forgotten about me! Ah, and I see you've left me another clue: "no Mudcat for years it seems" means that you haven't posted under your Mudcat name for a while, so that narrows the field of possible SS's. The game is afoot! (But the foot is not a game!) Hmmmmmmmm... |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Sharon A's secret santa Date: 06 Nov 02 - 08:39 PM hello - you're not forgotten!! My Internet access is broken. Panic - no Mudcat for years it seems - but I forgot the link here. |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Gloredhel's Shapely Secret Santa Date: 06 Nov 02 - 04:56 PM My goodness, dear, your intuition certainly is in fine tune! By the Goddess, it appears you have penetrated my cloud of mysterious and misleading clues!! At least, you're getting warmer. You've not been forgotten, sweet sister, and don't forget I have already looked up to find out how good you've been this year. Just because I have a shape doesn't mean I can't do my sums, and it seems to me you have passed with flying colours indeed. I do hope new (but beautiful!) musical sounds are a source of delight to you, because the elves are insisting on trying out their latest composition -- Symphonium Gallerium, a composition for sixteen sauce pans, one moggie, and two tea kettles. It has a certain...shall I say...flavor to it? Lemon? Cream? Only time shall reveal!! Yours ever so truely, GSSS |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Amergin Date: 06 Nov 02 - 04:43 PM Gloredhel....even if they are a female...they still may have a beard.... |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Gloredhel Date: 06 Nov 02 - 04:39 PM *sings* Where oh where has my Santa Claus gone? Oh where oh where can he be? With his boots cut high and his beard cut long, Oh where oh where can he be? (No offense meant to possibly female Santa) |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Micca's Evil Elf Date: 06 Nov 02 - 08:54 AM Well gosh...I've given you about four hints to the state I live in, not counting the post cards [and you only have 3 so far? I wonder what happened to the rest of them?]. I heard a rumor that you told your significant other that you thought I'm a lady-whatever I may be I ain't no lady! Of course, we've never met, so you can't be expected to know that. |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Micca Date: 06 Nov 02 - 08:31 AM Evil Elf, apart from whizzing about the USA like a badly made firework, sending postcards (from AZ NM and PA so far) what kind of clues have you dispensed? None, Zilch, Nada..... |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Fibula Mattock Date: 06 Nov 02 - 08:30 AM aha! Maybe I had cunningly excluded them from my list of suspects! (Er, actually no, I missed them - I just copied the initial sign-up list.) |

" Your Secret Santa is a non-penguin and has fewer the six legs (which tends to support someone's observation that your Secret Santa has an oblique sense of humor)." Hmmm. (Checks down the list below.) American too - only one "u" in "humor" - or is that a trick... Oblique sense of humour? That's just about anyone on this damn forum! Not a penguin... but are you bird-related? Fewer than 6 legs, eh? Hmmm....

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Catherine Jayne Date: 05 Nov 02 - 02:07 PM OK I will wait until after the hols. cat |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: SharonA Date: 05 Nov 02 - 02:04 PM Oh, CatsPHiddle, please wait until after Christmas to post the who-got-who list! There may be some packages that won't arrive until close to the holiday – or even afterward – plus some of us (like me, for instance) wait until Christmas Day to open the pressies and find out who sent them. Please don't spoil the surprise by posting the list too early! Thanks!! |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Micca's Evil Elf Date: 05 Nov 02 - 01:20 PM Don't you think it would be more fun if the silly bugger never finds out? Obviously, he'll never guess!! |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Catherine Jayne Date: 05 Nov 02 - 12:53 PM The secretary here ......again! Remember to post your hints. I have heard from some people who are worried because they haven't heard from their secret santa so can the santa's let their santees know that they are out there!! Nearer Christmas or perhaps just after I will post a list of who got who so everyone can see!!!!!. Also it can be used as a reference point if this runs again next year which I hope it will!! SS |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Sarah the Flute's SS Date: 05 Nov 02 - 08:31 AM Ok, Sarah, duly noted....NO BOOKS!! I think I might be able to find something you will enjoy...hopefully it won't take too long to find its way to you if I send it soon! |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Sarah the flute Date: 05 Nov 02 - 03:40 AM What do I like.... well not BOOOOOOKS! I have a Library full and I must be the only Librarian who actually failed their English Lit O' Level mainly because I'm not the world's greatest reader. Oh dear the heady heights we biochemists can aspire to. Music wise I like all sorts ... the more obscure the better and written music is good too. I await with suspense........ Thanks Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: artbrooks Date: 04 Nov 02 - 05:32 PM Come on Santa! Give me a break here. Everybody else (mostly) has gotten several useful hints, and all I get is some old cartoon dialog. I've given my Santee enough that she/he should be able to guess everything except my hat size (5 1/4, by the way). |

(I kept checking and checking and nary a word to be heard . . .) Thanks, Bat Santa, for checking in. Anything else you need to know about me? Computer platform? Bra size? Beer preference? Just wondering . . . Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Message for Tig, from Firecat's SS Date: 03 Nov 02 - 05:03 PM Spiders, I've got! Lots of them. Big ones, black ones, hairy ones, little ones, cute ones, p.......s ones. Oops, that would be too much of a hint. But just remember, at least Mudchat keeps her off the streets and out of mischief in the "real" world. (Just kidding, Firecat.) |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Firecat Date: 03 Nov 02 - 04:51 PM Not really - I'm her Mum! Please tell the elves that unless she's good Christmas will be cancelled this year. She's spending far too much time in Mudchat !!!!!!! (Alternately I'll set the big spider in the corner of our room on her:-)))) ) |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Firecat Date: 03 Nov 02 - 03:05 PM Oooh, I wonder what it could be!!!! I don't know what impression I give on my postings!!!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Giok's Secret Santa Date: 03 Nov 02 - 01:39 PM no. That kind of hint would be too easy. You'll get easier hints as time goes by. |

I believe Santa can find a nice gift for you. Sometimes simple hints inspire Santa's imagination more than detailed ones. This might be a good thing. |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Firecat's SS Date: 02 Nov 02 - 07:50 PM Ho-ho-ho-hello again Ms Firecat. Yesterday the elves found a lovely gift for you, which in some way matches one of the other two small gifts already in the sack with your name on it. The elves were very very excited at finding this item because, even though it in no way corresponds to your hints, it seems to be a perfect match to the impressions that they have gained of you from your postings. Apart from that, they love it themselves and they know that the very best gifts to give are the ones that they would want to keep for themselves, but know that there is much more to be gained from giving them to someone special. There is still more to go in the sack before sending it off to you by reindeer-freight, but so far the elves are squabbling among themselves about the best one(s) to send. When their fighting, and this elvish, high-pitched sqwawking ceases, then we may make some headway, but meanwhile..... |
