Subject: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Oct 02 - 11:22 AM Okay, now that we all have our Santees, here's a thread for all of us to play Santa and log back in anonymously and give our Santees some mysterious clues as to who their Santa might be.......Or if you are sneaky enough you can reamain known and give some real weird hints.......like I might say that MY Santee is fairly well known, was recruited by a very well known member and is interested in things down under.......but doesn't actually live in Oz. But I could go anonymous and use the Santee's name and say something different. Your choice.....Have FUN!!! heheheheheheheheheheheheeheheheehheheeheehheeeeee Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Giok's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 11:40 AM Your first hint... CCCCDDDD hehehehehehehehehehe |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: katlaughing Date: 22 Oct 02 - 11:48 AM I refuse to until after Halloween. This place is starting to look like WalMart! **BG** |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Tig's Secret Santa (Who Never Goes To WalMar Date: 22 Oct 02 - 11:53 AM Well, dearie. This Santa is safe because you'll never guess! Neh-vah, neh-vah, neh-vah! (insert maniacal santa laugh here) You'd better be a "nice" little 'Catter and fill out your hints, or Santa will be left to his/her own devices. (now the reindeer are laughing maniacally too) Santa Claws |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Giac's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 12:01 PM Not to be confused with Giok's Secret Santa... I have read your hints. But tell me, what do you consider "really good tea"? Do you drink tea often? Do you enjoy tea-drinking paraphernalia? Are you a tea-totaler? ;-) My part of the world is probably not too different from your part of the world... maybe... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Giac Date: 22 Oct 02 - 12:54 PM Ah, my lovely Santa -- I drink tea every day, and even as we type. By "good tea" I mean tea that tastes good hot, and makes me go "mmmmmmmm" when I sip it. I'm certainly not an expert on teas, but yes, I do tote tea (making me a tea-totaler), just in case folks I visit don't keep it on hand (barbarians). I'm all in favor of paraphernalia. ***G*** ~;o) Mary |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Giok's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 01:28 PM A thousand pardons, I made a mistake in the first hint. They say when you get older, say past SIXTY or so, you start making more mistakes. The hint should be: CCCCDDDA hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,SINSULL's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 03:16 PM You'd better give me some hints, my dear. I don't know much about you and if you don't, I will have to find something special! Heh heh heh! Please hint. Thank you! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Nathan in TX's SS Date: 22 Oct 02 - 04:19 PM I don't know much about you (though you know less about me, hahahaha), so give me some hints darlin'! Otherwise you may end up with a big ol' sack of coal. And I assume that wouldn't exactly be what you most want for Christmas. As soon as hints are in, Hezekiah and Ananais will be sent out searching. H and A are, of course, elves on staff here at the North Pole. Their mission in life is to find you a present, and you certainly wouldn't want to deny them the pleasure of fulfilling their mission in life, now would you? So please, make my little elves happy and help 'em along a bit. Eagerly awaiting hints, Santa Claus |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Robin2's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 05:07 PM Well, now, Robin2, are you the second robin of spring then? ho ho ho I see you've been a good girl and posted your hints already, so no coal for you! Santa will have to put something especially nice in the ol' sleigh for you this year. I won't tell you who I am just yet but I will give you a little hint -- we have shared something all my life but not all your life! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: SINSULL Date: 22 Oct 02 - 05:15 PM Oh Joy! Oh Joy! I have a Secret Santa. Last year my Santa kept me in suspense right up to D-Day. Hints a'comin'. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Tig's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 05:21 PM Well, Tig moves to the "nice" list, She posted her hints quick. She's got herself an ouchie, So Firecat did the trick. Santa's sympathetic, So don't you feel alone. An icy wreck last winter Broke Santa's collarbone! No laughing, 'cause it hurts a bunch, Just make a pot of tea. Rest yourself, get well real soon, A giftie is coming from me. Santa Claws |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Amergin's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 05:35 PM Boyo, have I ever got your number! I have a peepee too (we all do, ya know)but mine is different from yours........have sent the elves out to scour the wastelands for something good! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Giac's Secret Santa again Date: 22 Oct 02 - 05:45 PM Giac... take you sugar in your tea? Do ye like it loose, or in a bag? |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,(Morticia's Secret Santa) Date: 22 Oct 02 - 06:10 PM |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,(Morticia's Secret Santa) Date: 22 Oct 02 - 06:13 PM {I am so embarrassed. Obviously, I need a print copy of the Mudcat FAQ so I quit screwing up when I post.} But enough about me. MORTICIA what would you like for Xmas? Love, Santa, who had better check the manual to ensure the reindeer get hitched to the correct end of the sleigh... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Giac Date: 22 Oct 02 - 06:28 PM Sugar? Sometimes, but sometimes I drink it "straight" and sometimes I put in a bit of honey. Loose, bagged, whatever. If you are a tea drinker, I'll like what you like. If you're not a tea drinker, I'll still like whatever you come up with. I'm easy. You aren't bound by the tea thing, either. I'd be just as happy with anything -- long's it's not pink. **G** ~;o) Isn't this fun? Mary |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 07:20 PM So you like bears, do you? It is bear-ly within my scope to obtain bearish items, but I don't want to be overbearing. I know where there's a stuffed bear, but, standing on its hind feet, the thing is pretty tall and I don't think the postal services would be up for bearing it that far South. Oh, you said "small is beautiful". Well, bear up, I'll think of something bearly recognizable. Can't tease you very long, as your Santa surprise has to be in the mail by Nov. 6. Better slog out to the sled and get beary busy. |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Glorious Gloredhel's Most Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 08:17 PM You really have been a good girl!! HO HO!! Yes!! Why the first thing you said when you signed up was how excited you were to find out who you would be giving a present to!! HO! HO! HO! What a fine attitude, yes, indeed!! So let's see...I have a five-kilogram silver necklace in the shape of an accordion...no? I have some Trance CDs. Hmmmm...ok, ok, don't get impatient! Autographed napkin from Vlad the Impaler? No, no, not quite the right thing at all. Worn out elf-boots? No, you're too good for that. Oh, well. Let me just duck around back to the 'shop, there, dearie. I am sure we'll find something you'll like!! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,MMario's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 08:54 PM Oh MMMMMMMMMMMMariooooo. . . I've got your number! Good thing you turned in your hints! You can safely assume that I won't be shipping you a dead car. (I could, but I won't--in years past I got a lot of mileage out of a mythic junk yard on an island next to a slough I named "Rigor Motors.") Hahahahaha! Santa |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,MMario's Santa again Date: 22 Oct 02 - 08:57 PM . . . ahem. . . I named the lot, not the island. The slough and the island are named Ebey. . . I'm going to fire my typist and proofreader |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Bardford's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 09:00 PM Hey, bro, Other than that you're a Canuck and probably a boy Cat, I have no info on you at all. I don't even know how to peruse posts you may have made, since I've never come across one (that I could "click" on). Now, I can be pretty imaginative, but it would help to know if you're closer to 8 or 80 and a bit more about you. No rush. As Kat reminds us, it's not even Halloween yet. But can you post some kind of hint(s) here one of these weeks? BSS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Bard's Secret Santa Date: 22 Oct 02 - 09:02 PM Thread title too long: it was Bardford's Secret |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Gloredhel Date: 23 Oct 02 - 12:23 AM Oh my goodness! I have a Santa!! Yipee! But an autographed napkin from Vlad the Impaler? You're right, not quite my style--but I do have a dear friend who'd be thrilled with just such an item.... But we won't go into that. Let's see, you said kilogram--does that mean you're not US? Or are you just trying to throw me off the scent? And what's with the "A" at the bottom of the post? Force of habit, possibly, or another ploy? Hmmmm....perhaps such guesses are better left until after I finish that history paper. |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,KatLaughing's SS Date: 23 Oct 02 - 12:27 AM Hay Way - Roll Along Ye Santee's Is It True - That Vera Cruz - Is Taken By the Yankees?

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,wilco's Shush-Shush Santa Date: 23 Oct 02 - 06:41 AM Sweetie, In this world of Naughty Lists and Nice Lists, "smart ass" is definitely assigned to the former. Now ... the Elves are up for this. They tell me, "Hey Santa. He wants to do smart ass - WE can DO smart ass." I'll try to keep them 'on message' (season of good will, peace on earth, yadda yadda yadda) but keep your fingers crossed. They get a bit crazy during the countdown ... Luv ya anyway, smoochie - smoochie - smooches XO XO XO |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Capri Uni's Secret Santa Date: 23 Oct 02 - 08:20 AM Well, I see from your Hints that you don't believe in Christmas, only Yule. Question is, do you believe in Santa? Think you should clarify this if you're expecting a present. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,sian, west wales's Secret Santa Date: 23 Oct 02 - 09:50 AM Full blooded female ......Hmmm, I see, very interesting (pauses for thought!) Sea-green blue and "winter" ...and NOT pastels (duly noted!) Idiot's guides ...well Cat could not have chosen more of an idiot Santa to guide you! Ethnomusicology (note...consult dictionary) and cooking. Well as the owner of 135 cookbooks I may be able to trump you there! would certainly give houseroom to anything (CD) by a Mudcatter ...are you sure you know what you're letting yourself in for? Even from this Mudcatter maybe?!!! a teashirt for bed... ...(strokes chin thoughtfully!) do you collect anything? ...I could certainly supply the cookbooks and dust! pottery, embroidery, crochet, gardening, incredibly bad instrument playing ...well we have different hobbies but not a bad list to stimulate the nerve cells! silver ...but no rings or bracelets or southerly pierced things (makes interesting mental note!) something that reflects the Santa and well as the Santee, something that is local to Santa, or even handmade ...what luck to have such an "open" and appreciative Santee and I think I could oblige on any or even all of these fronts with a bit of imagination! not smellies or calendars ...duly noted! Dear sian, ...it will be a real pleasure to be your Secret Santa and your helpful tints and hips mean that I will undoubtedly devote my own time to this rather than leave it to my useless elves! Your Secret (Celtic-blooded) Santa!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: sian, west wales Date: 23 Oct 02 - 10:38 AM ooooooo.... my curiosity is now duly aroused!!!!! (Celtic blooded, eh? Might have own CD eh? Any more hints?) I don't think my hips have ever been referred to as 'helpful' before ... although I've been known to clear a path through a crowd before now by a few well-place swings... Could be of use getting through the Boxing Day sales ... How many days to Christmas????? sian |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Giok's Secret Santa Date: 23 Oct 02 - 07:48 PM Hi Giok, I noticed that you posted some hints...very nice...I especially like your taste in collectables. I also know how excited you are about having a grandchild. I just learned today that I will be a new grandparent in the Spring! We'll have to share pictures later. Ho Ho Ho |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: Amergin Date: 23 Oct 02 - 07:52 PM oh boy i have a SS, too! whooo hooo am a bit excited now..... |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: CapriUni Date: 23 Oct 02 - 11:14 PM Dear Secret Santa: Of course I believe in Christmas... I also believe in Ramadan. I mean, there is no deny these observations exist, after all. And I also have no moral objections to their existance. I just don't celebrate them, personally. I celebrate the Winter Solstice... hurrah for the brand new light, and all that. As for believing in Santa, well, I have a book right here on my desk entitled Santa Claus, Last of the Wild Men: The Origins and Evolution of Saint Nicholas, Spanning 50,000 Years. With a track record like that, I'd say Santa is more believable than 99.9999995% of the ordinary humans I know. ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Tig's Secret Santa Date: 23 Oct 02 - 11:16 PM Santa always makes a list Then he checks it twice. Not that the ol' bloke's gone Type-A He just wants to be precise. YOUR Santa thought to do the same An' keep the holiday spirit true So by checking with some UK elves Santa's got the goods on YOU! I've been told you're keen and lots of fun A regular wunnerful gal An' when you're on the piss (and must take one as well) You should probably take 'long a pal. Then you'll have someone to shove out in front When arse over teakettle you spin So that with any luck, you'll land on THEM An' not risk your sweet neck again. So keep Santa's advice close to your heart True gems like that never fail. Christmas is coming, your prezzie is too, But please watch your step, not the mail. Sanity Clause |

Anything you might remove from consideration? What does your Renaissance costume look like? What color is it? Your very own personal custom Secret Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Sarahtheflute's Secret Santa Date: 24 Oct 02 - 09:09 AM Ok, Ms. Flute, I need some santa hints! At the very least post something here so I can look at your old posts and figure out what you might like. Thank you very much! Your secret santa :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Secret Santa Date: 24 Oct 02 - 09:22 AM My pic with IT? Remember, this is a vicious, wild animal! And, the bear's only marginally tamer, being stuffed and all. Well, maybe I could get that close. My last name is "Claws," after all. Thanks for bearing your thoughts. Santy Claws |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: MMario Date: 24 Oct 02 - 09:25 AM Dear Custom Santa - yes, last years list applies. What does my ren costume look like? what colour? uhmmm - brown, blue,green,black,red,tan,purple,murrey depending on the day. I'm a peasant - nothing matches...baggy pants and a peasant shirt - unless its a peasant shirt and tights. "Owain" - MMy alter-ego (the apprentice for 35 years - he who carries a tune in a bucket - barely; the pre-minstrel Owain Cramp) tends to wear the same - but he carries a wooden bucket which MMario does not. and honest - those "naughty" days and the songs I was singing - really! it was my job! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: katlaughing Date: 24 Oct 02 - 10:25 AM Hmmm....sea chanties on the Prairie? Don't know about Vera and those Yankees, but I do know a little about the Roll n'Go and I think they're Yanks, right?*bg* Santa has me curiouser and curiouser! |

Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Micca's Evil Elf Date: 24 Oct 02 - 12:29 PM |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Micca's Evil Elf Date: 24 Oct 02 - 12:46 PM Rats-don't do this too often. Age-note reference to Albatross; also Divers and Owls. Quoth the Raven: "nevermore." Gender-I'd bet Cat knows best. Favorite Colour-scruffy. Is that light scruffy or dark scruffy? Sounds like a sagey-sorta colour. Authors/books-Ah ha!! Celtic mythology is it? And would that be Keltic or Seltic? Settle for Dine' if you're wise. Books desired-what the heck kind of answer is "see above"-clearly a bureaucrat at heart. T-shirt size-only XL? Have you noticed that male Mudcatters prefer smaller t-shirts than females? Collectables-how about post cards? Hobbies-sounds like a reasonable collection. Ever try prickly-pear or dandilion wine? If not, don't. Jewelery-yeah, ok, spoilsport. Other stuff-whatever. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Mark Cohen's Secret Santa Date: 24 Oct 02 - 02:04 PM C'mon -- gimme a hint or two (or more). Pleeeeeeeze post here or to hints thread. After all, I know absolutely nothing about you except you went to med school in Hershey, PA, sing Irish songs, have a 7 year old daughter, had recent knee surgery, miss Moxie and you're not a Republican. Oh, and that both you and I are Diana Rigg fans and you're my younger brother's age. How do I know all this? Well, "we master spies have our sources -- in this case it happens to be the front page of the New York Times" (or, more specifically, The Mudcat Puddle). Subjective Clause |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Rangeroger's Secret Santa Date: 24 Oct 02 - 02:09 PM Kiddo, ya gotta give me some hints on whatcha like, or dire prognostications may befall you. hehehe |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Nathan in TX's SS Date: 24 Oct 02 - 06:13 PM Dear Nathan, Hezekiah and Ananais are almost terminally bored. They really want to get to work on your present, so they can make it extra, extra special (they are quite good elves, really). But they have no clue what you might want. Please, for their sanity's sake, give them a few clues as to what you might like! And remember, if you really don't want to post them where the world can see them, I'm sure that Cat would be very happy to play intermediary. Eagerly awaiting hints, Santa Claus |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MYSTERY SANTA GOOFY HINTS From: GUEST,Helen's SS Date: 24 Oct 02 - 07:11 PM PURPLE???? PURPLE????? Where the hell am I supposed to find anything PURPLE now? Halloween is all black and orange. Christmas is all red and green. Channukah isn't even purple; it's blue! Maybe I'll just give you a black eye for Thanksgiving and hope it turns purple for Christmas. Damn...bet I get tossed out for making threats. Several hints here, lady. But also some self control. hehe. |
