Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: JennyO Date: 08 Oct 05 - 11:12 AM Well it looks like my Santa has some sort of interest in the cricket - likes to rub salt in the proverbial wound I see. As for the industrial quantities of sherry and mince pies - of course there are! This is me you're talking about here! Ooh, this is such fun! More hints, Santa! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: CapriUni Date: 08 Oct 05 - 03:11 PM A venerable tradition in folk music, oh, Poetic One -- that of rhyming words with themselves. Shall we be duelling poets, then? How 'bout this: Chrissymas is coming, and the closets are loaded -- So full of "stuff," that they should've exploded. What shall we do -- have you thought about that? Let's dump it on Capri, and on her two cats! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Limpet's Loopy Elf Date: 08 Oct 05 - 09:48 PM Hello, Limpet! Your mother has let me know that you've been as good as a kid can be expected to, so you can expect some pressies at year's end (or near enough). She told me you like cats and fairies. I've been trying to harness the cats to the sleigh. But they're having none of it (they do like playing with the harness bells, though). And it gets cold here, in the winter, so all the fairies go into hibernation during holiday time (except for the Ice Queen -- but you would hate a visit from her). But my friend SPethan, the typo gremlin, has volunteered to help with your package. He's a distant cousin to some fairies (brownies, I think). Don't be surpised, though, if you get some Ookies instead of Cookies, or Hairy Fakes instead of Fairy Cakes... Keep your fingers crossed! L.L.E |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Amos Date: 08 Oct 05 - 10:10 PM Dear SS: I rarely do just what I should, I often leap past expectations, And break up dreams of "do be good" With fiery phrase, or wild gyration. Behaviour from a placid platen And fixed ideas and old decrees I leave to those who dumbly fatten Upon the fast-food fat and grease And those who cannot leave behind The junk food tastes of lazy minds. I'd rather burn a blaze to ashes Knowing my burning was true, or just Than coldly join those on their asses Who watch their times return to dust. This is my fate, my karma true In this I am just as I should; So if this meaning speaks to you, I do assure you, I've been good. Regards, Amos |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Amos' rolling Santa Date: 09 Oct 05 - 05:40 AM Yes Amos very erudite but there does seem to be a touch of blank verse in the above - or maybe it's my computer. I'll write a poem, sweet and true A secret santa just for you Then I hit writer's block....oh poo! Keep the karmic thoughts going Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Tig's Santa Claws "Talon Scout" Date: 09 Oct 05 - 07:54 AM Tig, Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the threadlist....... IT came....upon a midnight clear..... You are now..... within the reach of........ CLAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!(cue in spooky music) SO....How does THAT grab you? ......Now the usual powers could be used to see you when you're sleeping and know when you're awake and ascertain a deep and thorough knowledge of the full extent of your badness or goodness, but since the almighty and powerful..... CLAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!(cue in spooky music) ...is really a moral, kind soul and true gentleperson at heart, you will be given yet another chance to provide the personal preference information so sadly lacking in both 2004's and 2005's hints threads, or would you REALLY want..... CLAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (cue in spooky music) ....to have to "START FROM SCRATCH", as it were? ....Or is this some dastardly plot upon YOUR part to force your anonymous (as well as "trad." and "P.D.", and, I can't tell you WHO yet, "arr.and adapted by") benefactor to throw a veritable cornucopeia of varied presents up against your proverbial wall to see if anything sticks? I will give you ONE LAST CHANCE to resort to the "Folk Process" and divulge your vital information here before.... CLAUS!!!!!!!!(cue in spooky music) ....will have to "take things 'into my own hands' and do some 'Christmas Stalking' and 'filling in' on my own, relying on other and possibly less reputable sources." Please try to comply with the stated wishes, hopefully before Halloween, (as Thanksgiving themes are SO much harder to do)...... ....and remember that you are NOW.... within the grasp of...... CLAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!(cue in spooky music) ....So, watch out, don't cry, and above all...... LET NOTHING YOU DISMAY! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Tig Date: 09 Oct 05 - 11:04 AM I was leaving my hints until after next Saturday when my age changes. And you can't scare me that easily since some of my fiends are Goths and t'Witches :-P Little has changed since 2003 but I'll be good and put a new list up soon - though any 'anything' pressie could be fun. Lots of love and hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Rapparee Date: 09 Oct 05 - 11:09 AM I have read through all the postings, both here and elsewhere, and find that, alas and alack!, I lack an SS. Ah, well, I shall concentrate upon my own Santee, and give him or her gifts far too precious to enumerate. But wait! Perhaps my SS doesn't read or hasn't been told yet or is simply keeping me in suspense! Caloo! Calay! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 09 Oct 05 - 01:51 PM Boohoo!!!! No Secret Santa for me yet!!!! Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,A Veteran Clandestine Claus Date: 09 Oct 05 - 02:04 PM Here's free advice. You can take it or leave it. If your Santee is stingy with clues, but you want to be generous with gifts, anyway: Click on the blickie of his or her name, and it will pull up an archive of everything they've ever posted here. Read a few entries, and that should give you a good idea about the kind of person you're dealing with. That's what I did, with my very first Santee... |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,CLLR's SS Date: 09 Oct 05 - 02:58 PM Clues already and a gift picked up yesterday. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Rapparee Date: 09 Oct 05 - 03:29 PM Hot damn! Will there be a puff of vile-smelling, sulphurous smoke, a flash of light, and a hearty "Heigh-Ho, Silver!"? Will my SS leap into the air shouting, "Up, up, and away!"? Inquiring minds want to know. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Mrs Cobble Date: 09 Oct 05 - 05:20 PM Hello to my secretive santa nice to hear from you. I have a request. Please ask Rudolph to teach the horse with the hobble to fly it could be a long walk to Yorkshire. Just taking care of the critters you understand. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,My Guru Always Said's SS Date: 09 Oct 05 - 05:38 PM Well, I suppose I should just accept that last year's hints are still okay. If, as her Last Year's Secret Santa's Housemate said, she's a frail thing, then I should treat her gently. Maybe I can send her some pink fluffy Dougals, and some nice porridge, and other comfort items to help her to feel warm & cosy? |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Sarah the Flute's SS Date: 09 Oct 05 - 06:19 PM But, Sarah, sure you've understood Bamboo is good for more than food? That FLUTES with cane they make so fine I'll place them here for you, in line: Zampoña, Quena, Dizi, Pan Are fine flutes fit for any man But also in the hands of girls I've heard their joyous toots and twirls So leave the fresh shoots to the panda Take this advice from sage old Santa |

Robbie my lad, O my splendid Santee! Your wish shall be my life's purpose. And I might even send it to you. There are a few little missives already winging their way in your direction. I await your precious communiques with the eagerness of a weary pilgrim for a glimpse of the promised land. Cloaked in prose of purple, Your Secret Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Blackcatter Date: 10 Oct 05 - 01:08 AM I've finally left my hints on the other thread, my dear Sercret Santa! |

For even though I'm very small I've got a message for you all Be nice and drop me lots of hints Or you could end up with a bag of coal and some nuts and a dead mouse and a jar of pickles and a smelly sock.

Although we've never met, voices lilting from over the Welsh hills have told me tales of you that have made my hair curl... ho ho ho |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,The SS of Muddle C Date: 10 Oct 05 - 06:22 AM socks or stockings will do..............must admit having a problem finding "Terminator meets Lord of the rings...." what about King Kong meets Harry Potter?!? Be good now |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: MuddleC Date: 10 Oct 05 - 07:28 AM well, there's always the Godzilla version of 'The Sound of Music', but you think you've got problems, how do you package 500feet of red licqorice for my santee?! -dam , that's blown it..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Sarah the flute Date: 10 Oct 05 - 09:04 AM Now being in the educational world I think we need to do some analytical decontruction of this latest masterpiece Santa just to illustrate how hard working and diligent I am being and so you are aware of how seriously I am taking this "being good" concept! So here goes But, Sarah, sure you've understood (the use of the word "sure" in this context implies an overseas connection ) Bamboo is good for more than food? (the author likes to play with his/her food) That FLUTES with cane they make so fine (has obviously conducted an in depth study of the sonic potential of different type of material when considering wind instrument production Footnote: "fine" here may be used as comparison to plastic drainpipes) I'll place them here for you, in line: Zampoña, Quena, Dizi, Pan (Demonstrates a superior knowledge of the variety of instrument the narrative concentrates upon) Are fine flutes fit for any man But also in the hands of girls (An interesting couplet this would imply a non-sexist approach to the myth of St Nicholas) I've heard their joyous toots and twirls (obviously hasn't heard me play then!!!!) So leave the fresh shoots to the panda (would appear that the author is not actually ursuline as perhaps indicated in earlier works but professes intimate knowledge of the habits of the said species). Take this advice from sage old Santa (oh I WILL, I WILL HONEST!!!!!!!!) Still intrigued! Sarah |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Blackcatter's slightly worried Secret Santa Date: 10 Oct 05 - 01:15 PM Hmmmmmmm You want me to send you things suitable for rituals? And expect me to chance the Union of Elves carrying pebbles too heavy for them?? This does not look good. What are your favourite minerals? Do you prefer orangeade, cherryade or limeade? I might even be able to stretch to Ginger Beer! What will happen to me if I fail to deliver to your satisfaction??? Rituals can be used for many things! Please assure me that you are not intending turning ME into history. |

Interesting hints. That should be fun. Something that smells of purple, orange and silver. I think we'll get along fine. I'll hitch up the alternative team to the sleigh. Silver Unicorns. Just for you. Happiness from Your-very-own-secret-Santa. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 10 Oct 05 - 06:33 PM My Own Dear Santa, I'm so worried that my absence has led you to take drastic action. Hmmm, pink fluffy Dougals eh? I recall sending some Pink to my Santee last year, but own none of my own Thank Goodness! My hints are now ready, updated & awaiting your pleasure, I'm in your very tasteful hands. Please accept my humble apologies for my delay, I've been rather distracted by doing my first festival gig last weekend but feel much calmer now... |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Emma B Date: 10 Oct 05 - 06:50 PM Have I been good? well...my dictionary defines good as...... Having desirable qualities, praise-worthy, meritorious, helpful, morally excellent, pious, holy, well behaved, skilful, efficient, in sound condition, healthy, enjoyable, capable and ample I'm pleased to inform you I have been very ample! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: JennyO Date: 10 Oct 05 - 11:25 PM voices lilting from over the Welsh hills Simply Stunning Santa, does this mean you are in Wales, or that your informant is? Has somebody been telling tales in Wales? Whatever he/she has been telling you, I deny it all - um - well, most of it anyway. Jenny (being as good as I can be ;-)) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Blackcatter Date: 10 Oct 05 - 11:46 PM Never worry secret Santa 1) I only do rituals for good purposes. 2) I'll never know if what you send me is what makes the spell fail or not. Stones are conduits for energy and whatever you would send would be gratefully received and used for whatever they tell me they'd like to be used. If you wish to send me stones, they can be tiny (i.e. diamonds, rubys, emeralds). Rounded river stones and stones ith holes worn in them (holey stones) would be nice as well. Or you can send me a cool t-shirt. Your call. |
