Dear Secret Santa,
Predator and the Care Bears, yes, could work, but for a real block-buster..... Predator meets the Teletubbies........ me like!!

It's time that they got what's coming to them....

Are you sure Predator would win MC?

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005
From: MuddleC
Date: 11 Oct 05 - 07:55 AM

well, I am worried that if the teletubbies did win, it might cause a down turn in extraterrestial foreign relations and that the Predator home planet might not want to advertise 10 Downing St as a good holiday destination for next year...

I hear that tinky-winky has a sub-atomic particle accelerator in his handbag...
maybe Sigournay Weaver could bring her friends out to help
..the evil empire of the teletubbies must be stopped!!!

Ho, Ho Ho, sorry about that, just got to the bucket in time, Rudolph shouldn't really eat those kebabs.

Well, looking at my old lists, you already seem to have monogrammed beaver slippers, tyre-lites for your snow-mobile and orange laces for your snow shoes.........
-we're rather overstocked on errr... let's see now... well, My little pony gift sets, Barbie and err,... something called Tellytubbies

-They could be recycled as slippers, oven mits or used as fuel in those long Alaskan winters,

If they repel 'Predators' they just might keep them pesky biting 'skeeters' at bay.....
let me know..

Well, my ploy worked. Thanks for the updated hints. Now I can start looking for the perfect (pink fluffy) presents.

Dear Santa, thanks for wanting to know what I would like for Christmas. If you would simply pick me up in your sleigh and drop me off in England again I would be quite satisfied. Commercial airfare is too expensive for me to go back anytime soon, so thanks in advance for the travel assist.

Dear Mrs Squeak (or may I just call you Liz the...?),

Poor Limpit! I hope she hasn't been traumatized for life! How could you do that to your own daughter... even at random! Wicked woman!

One has to be lippy oneself to deal with a lippy one and I am fully equal to the job I assure you!

Now to the matter in hand... he's got an axe, a broadsword and a suit of armour (not that his thick skin needs one)... that rules those out. The unwanted and unused ego that someone gave me some Christmas past wouldn't be needed either...

Hmmmm...

I've done my time as soccer mom
On soggy fields and scorching sod
The only game is found right here
On the pages we hold dear
The clues given, the gifts recieved
Reflections of virtual life percieved

I'm still searching for a gift just right
To lift your celebratory might
But which holiday will fill your toast
Christmas, Solstice, Hannaka is there a path you follow most ?
For which of these do your candles shine bright
When the sun circles back to grant us light ???

Still Pondering... Hope those elves can help me out some...

Now, as for sure instead of surely
It's more a case of rhyming poorly
Than failing sorely to deduce
Which is for sure the proper use
Me? Know of flutes? It's just pretend
I tell you, Google is my friend
And as for food, I eat it gladly
Although it treats my figure badly
Remains it but to say that panda
Just rhymes so deuced well with Santa

So Stilly Dear, time for a bit more information from you so my elves can get your gift all wrapped up - though in all that posting of yours there should be some real solid evidence.

Dairy products - Does that mean Chocolate is out?
Anything grow in your yard apart from firewood?
Who'll be with you for Christmas? Their ages?
Did you ever do that Calendar?

Like you, I won't be freezing my butt off at the Getaway either, maybe one day, this Santa ain't used to that much cold though.

I'm a christmas/solstice gal. Mostly christmas because thats when the uni is shut so I get time off!
As to my virtual life...well I'm not even sure I have a real life, I've even managed to finish my fathers xmas presant by dint of never going anywhere except dance practices.
I'd like to know if there IS a world outside Aberdeen (it's the fog you know!).
