Subject: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Severn's Secret Santa (newly appointed) Date: 09 Nov 09 - 06:13 PM Just to let you know that I am absolutely delighted to find that I've been appointed to take care of you this year. The reindeer, the elves, Mrs Claus and I are all now polishing all work surfaces, re-pointing tiling and generally buffing up our skills in readiness. Oh, what fun it's going to be, sorting out your special delivery! All dietary and health requirements have been duly noted and annotated, so as soon as possible it'll be down to the markets to hand-pick suitable items. Wot larks! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Desert Dancer and Astro's supreme santa Date: 09 Nov 09 - 07:01 PM Well, here I am, ready and waiting, elves poised with parcel tape, reindeer reined up and ready, sat nav switched on ... but there's just one teensy problem - YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHAT YOU WANT!! Cor, I know I'm a supreme being but all this mind reading is giving me a headache. Now, if you don't tell me what you want, you will end up with the coal you didn't get last year OK??? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Ed T Date: 09 Nov 09 - 07:12 PM Want A Blow-Up Doll For Christmas (c)1992 by Eric Brown I want a blow-up doll for Christmas. I want a girl I can inflate. I saw one like I want in a girlie magazine -- The one that I hide between my mattress and box springs. I want a blow-up doll for Christmas. Hurry up, Santa, I can't wait! I want a blow-up doll for Christmas, 'Cause I know that she'll be the perfect mate. She must be heavy-duty to resist wear and tear. She'll come with a special set of sexy underwear. I'll dress her like a hooker, then dress her for the prom, Then let her air out, fold her up and hide her from my Mom. (8-bar instrumental) She won't talk so I won't have to call her on the phone. I won't have to comb her hair because it's printed on. Her lips will be shaped like an "O" and painted ruby red. I'll have to hide her from my friends -- she'll be a real airhead. Oh, I want a blow-up doll for Christmas. I want a girl with vinyl flesh. She must have a pretty face up above her neck. The rest of her body must be anatomically correct. I want a blow-up doll for Christmas. I think I'll call her Judy or Beth. I want a blow-up doll for Christmas, 'Cause real girls, they scare me half to death |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Batty's Batty, Baffled Santa Date: 09 Nov 09 - 07:53 PM Oy, Batty, you ain't got no hints listed yet. Now I know life's been stressful lately, what with Curmudgeon being caffeine deprived an' all, but really! Give Santa sommat to work with, eh? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Severn Date: 09 Nov 09 - 08:30 PM Well bless your appointed little head under your a-pointed little seasonal hat! I am quite honored to be the recipient of the first Secret Santa message of the year and am looking forward to being in such ready and capable hands, knowing in advance that I'll be treated well, as I have traditionally have been by previous Santas for as long as I've been enjoying this seasonal rite. Be careful and don't buff your skills so hard you hurt yourself, especially if you buff them up in the buff, but I will be fully apprieciative of your presents and the clues leading up to recieving them. Already there's mention of "Mrs. Claus and I". Should I take THAT as a clue that you're male? And Yanks on the whole, don't tend to say "Wot larks!", but who knows wot larks behind your facade? If you've done your homework looking at what some of my past Santas and their messenger/scout elves have had to go through in recent years, you will know that they might meet up with the two guardian House Brownies, Hash & McGhee and a cat named Molly and some local "wee folk" as well, especially since there is no fireplace in the townhome I live in, so research the archives well. 'til the next message, Severn |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Secret Santa to Wyrd Sister Date: 10 Nov 09 - 09:51 AM Well here we are again, loving the Secret Santa Game! I don't know about you but I love Christmas. Can't wait to put the deckies up but not too soon though, we really looking forward to that bit. I will have to look again at your hints and see if you have similar taste to me? Santa's Tonte men are on the look out are you a well behaved Santee. Best and lovely wishes Ooo!! nearly gave the game away! SStWS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Sarah The Flute's Galoot w/The Loot Date: 10 Nov 09 - 11:04 AM Sarah. I've drawn a top-drawer Flute-Of-The-Room this year, and I'm here to see that my assigned piper gets properly paid! So I thank you very much for posting your hints, as we've little time to spare, and I must assign research and delivery elves to select the finest Goodies in the shortest amount of time. You may get a Surry-based elf or maybe some sort of surrogate elf, providing they can slip under the Surry Gates, but you may hear from one soon. Cheap and interesting? I prefer things that way, myself! Trinket, you say? Well consider yourself trinked or trunk or whatever. "Galoot"? Well that's a term I picked up from some old Yank Cowboy movies. I don't know whether the plural is "Galeet" or whether there are "gal-loots" and "guy-loots" (I assume that a female could be one, as well), but the term usually conjures up the image of some old bearded guy such as Gabby Hayes, or more to the point, like the image of dear himself Santa Claus. All I'll ask of you in return for what bounty comes your way is that you use your previously mentioned cartooning skills to conjure up your own image of what your Santa looks like from these messages and send it to me afterwards when all is finally revealed and hopefully not reviled. All for now, much to do, little time! Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: greg stephens Date: 10 Nov 09 - 11:53 AM Nobody has sent me a Secret Santee yet. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: greg stephens Date: 10 Nov 09 - 11:54 AM Ah, just found the other thread. I will await developments. No hurry LtS get well soon. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Severn's secretive Secret Santa Date: 10 Nov 09 - 06:03 PM Guessing already? Looking for hints in the wording? Be assured, my fluvial Santee, that I am quite capable of dropping some deliberate red herrings into your tidal flow. You've been Santa'd before, I know, so you know the pack drill. Good behaviour from you results in presents from me. I have sent my agents out to check that your behaviour does indeed conform to the usual high standards... we shall see! In the meantime I continue to search for goodies that will gladden your heart come Yule time. Oh, and your house brownies are already in negotiations with my elves, and the cat has been gently reminded of the need to treat my reindeer with respect. Let's hope that side of things goes smoothly. A bientot, my friend. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Severn Date: 10 Nov 09 - 11:23 PM I've endured many river references in my life, but I must admit, I've never been referred to as "fluvial" before. I applaud the timely manner in which your elves have made contact with the guardians of my townshack and being in the process of becoming Post-Postal, I am always apprieciative of a prompt and efficient delivery system. So don't be surprised or bothered by my early guessing, as, like in the case of your delivery system, we have less time to let things unfold in a leisurely manner this year. And due to the medical and financial crises of the past two years, I assure you that I've had far less opportunities to misbehave than in most years past, so I'm sure there'll be no reason to scrimp or penalize on gifts on the basis of merit. So I'll harken to your Herring Angels singing solefully while dressed in seasonal red (as is their usual halibut), perhaps even accompanied by a Christmas Cod bringing Peace as well, as I contemplate the mysteries of the season and await what it may bring. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,SeekCET santa Date: 11 Nov 09 - 08:15 PM Mr CET Sir Elves are at the ready loading sleigh All present and correct This mission will proceed with military precision Ummm maybe we should ditch the reindeer - it's all horses in Canada isn't it ? At least we have the guy with the red uniform Ho Ho Ho |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Santee-less Date: 12 Nov 09 - 12:13 PM Have pity on pitiful, pitiful me And all of the others without a Santee. We sent our addresses, but Liz's computer Is being so Scrooge-like, it sure doesn't suit 'er. It won't send her PM's, the miserly pup! For us second-batchers, it's batching things up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Sarah The Flute's Sarah-endipitous Santa Date: 12 Nov 09 - 01:06 PM Sarah, I understand that flutery may get me nowhere, but that you, however, are quite good at it. I hope you were, indeed, being good on your night out at the pub and that the clock in the Epsom clock tower wasn't showing too late an hour by the time you came home. My elf has been scouting out the vacinity in that time, finding out that the race track isn't, by a long shot, the only piece of one-way travel in the area but is slowly getting his bearings nonetheless, ("The Lord Epsom what Epsom selves.", I think he said, but it may have been a bad connection) and will now be keeping a good eye on you, so smile sweetly. As for your as yet unasked question, "Que?", Sarah? Sarah, what will be will be. And the stack of "What Will Be" grows ever higher..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Batty's Batty, Baffled Santa (AKA BBBS) Date: 12 Nov 09 - 03:54 PM Atta girl, Batty! Now I have sommat to work with. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Jeri Date: 12 Nov 09 - 04:54 PM BBBS, I don't know where she replied (haven't seen it). I just want to let you know I'd love to help if I can. I no longer play because I'd have to try extra hard not to know who my SS is, but being a third part is fun. I know you live far enough away so that some things may be difficult, and if I remember correctly, we may have met, so you know you can trust me. Within limits, of course. Just sayin'. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 12 Nov 09 - 05:50 PM It hasn't begun here yet, Liz. No one to SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: CET Date: 12 Nov 09 - 07:26 PM So, I have a Santa - evidently someone who knows me but hasn't talked much to Charmion, who could set him/her straight about me operating with militay precision. Mind you, I'm all in favour of military precision - I just wish I could achieve it more often. Edmund |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Sarah the flute Date: 12 Nov 09 - 07:28 PM Santa if you manage to figure out the one way system without getting lost in Epsom you will win a gold medal - ahh the wonder of Google maps. Were you spying ... music in the pub two nights running and a lock in too and the third two was getting home at two am ..oh dear but I was being good just distracted. What will be...hmmm you have me wondering now Sarah (who actually hasn't been to the pub tonight ) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Sarah The Fluter's Elf Tutor and Recruiter Date: 12 Nov 09 - 09:33 PM Sarah, It took my elf quite a while to figure out the town and surrounding area and to actually locate you and hear the music. He gets easily distracted. He stopped at the track toi see if they might need a part time jockey. He stopped outside one pub and listened on the sly to a local shanty group that call themselves "The Epsom Salts". He stopped by The Ashley Center to make sure your gifts were far beyond anything to be found there. He stopped in places you'll never know where only the wee folk go. How do I know this? There are other elves assigned to other people in your area who report back to me not only about whether the Santees have been good but whether the other elves have been good. If one seriously misbehaves in the course of his or her duties, it's back to the sweatshop and the toy assembly lines. Only the finest and most trusted elves get to do scout work and get to travel. You never see the wee folk, but they're all around you with places to stay and ways to live their own social life. Just don't ask too many questions and just believe and you shall recieve a bountiful box of treasures untold, cheap thrills surpassing your wildest dreams. ......if, of course, you're good. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Cats Date: 13 Nov 09 - 05:10 PM love the pic!!!! Now I wonder who is going to get a parcel from Cornwall this year!!!!!! TEEE Heeee |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Desert Dancer and Astro's supreme santa Date: 14 Nov 09 - 07:55 AM Well, this is a fine thing... half of the mudcat population wants a santa and my santees still haven't been in touch. Come on now you two! Get a grip, chop chop and stir thi'selves as my old granny would say. The elves are working themselves into a lather of anticipation! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,SSoaCC Date: 14 Nov 09 - 08:01 AM The reindeer are a little confused this year... |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Sian's Secret Santa Date: 15 Nov 09 - 06:47 PM Well then. Finally heard from She Who Must Be Obeyed. Kitchen gadgets, funny pages and him books, eh? Is that the kind with pictures of guys with torn shirts and big pecs? I'll see what I can do-a self portrait, maybe. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Greg Stephen's Generally Stupid Secret Santa Date: 15 Nov 09 - 07:19 PM Hi Greg, Let's hope by now you've found your Santee - Liz has had a rough time this year. Be sure you've got a Santa though. Unfortunately I am not a brilliantly organised one (I promise to try) so when I went to look for your name in the hints thread .....I'd lost the thread :-( Hopefully you have already sent me loads of hints and eventually I'll be able to find you something JUST right. However at the moment I'm not even sure where I am - but we did have a great time marching through a town with flaming torches this weekend. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Clairebear's Secret Santa Date: 15 Nov 09 - 07:29 PM Well, my ursine friend, you may have been wondering if your Santa was on the job or not. Fear not, your prezzie will be on its way soon. CSS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: sian, west wales Date: 16 Nov 09 - 05:04 AM Hey, I've been Santa'd. Woo-woo! A second-batcher, eh? Re: him books, my friends tell me I have weird tastes. Always go for older, balding types. If you can find something with fold-outs of Pensioneers ... No. Scratch that. This is Mudcat. You might actually hunt down a Wrinklies Nude Calendar or something. And don't you go to no big expense. Recycle! (I think the etiquette term is "re-gift") I ain't proud! Luv ya, Santa! sian |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Anne Lister Date: 16 Nov 09 - 06:22 AM Do I have a silent Santa, or has the second batch not been allocated yet? |

Oh, what to do, what to do..so many ideas and so little time. You collect obscure facts and musical instruments? How about two lumps of coal to bang together rhythmically? |
|

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Jenn Brooks' Santa needs a hint Date: 16 Nov 09 - 12:26 PM Good afternoon, Jenn. Santa has asked me to contact you because we have not been able to find a SUGGESTION for yourself, only for Art. We know that you've been a good girl this year, so we want to select just the right thing for you. Warmest holiday wishes, Matilda (Mrs. Santa) Claus |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Hawker Date: 16 Nov 09 - 01:04 PM Ah! I have a santee.........Do I have a santa? :0~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: artbrooks Date: 16 Nov 09 - 01:36 PM Dear Jenn's Santa...now look on the hints thread. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: ClaireBear Date: 16 Nov 09 - 02:35 PM Hurrah, I have a Santa! A bustling, red-clad Santa of mine own! And I've even been good! Well, pretty good ... So Santa dear, for your Christmas Eve midnight morsel, would you like to go back to the traditional gingerbread and cocoa this year, or shall we keep on with lasagne and a glass of red wine like the last few years' morsels? Your delighted ClaireBear |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,ClaireBear's Secret Santa Date: 16 Nov 09 - 09:05 PM What, no seal liver tartare or large plates of salmon guts? Or are you one of those highly evolved vegetarian bears? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: ClaireBear Date: 16 Nov 09 - 11:38 PM Santa, if you want seal tartare and/or salmon guts, with or without muktuk to please your northern palate, I shall endeavor to comply. But I am a decadent California bear, so salmon lightly smoked over applewood with a sauce of wild blackberries, native sage, plenty of garlic and madrone honey are more my speed. Would that suit? And maybe a nice pinot blanc? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Stilly River Sage's Very Own Personal Elf Date: 16 Nov 09 - 11:48 PM Well now Maggie, the assignment has been received and the elves have been sent to check out the elvin supplies. Are you being good? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Dan Schatz Date: 17 Nov 09 - 12:52 PM Can you make it anthrozite coal? Much more clean burning. But really, if you want to go in that direction, I'd love a few zolar panelz.... Hints are posted on the other thread. Thank you; I'm zo exzited! Dan |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Severn Date: 17 Nov 09 - 02:02 PM Dear Santa, As Santees are wont to do this time of year, I shall ask you you a few questions about yourself, not nescessarily expecting straight and truthful answers but figuring it is far better to recieve red herrings in advance in print form than in my stocking, especially if they're untinned, so save the "masses in the coaled, coaled ground" in lump form for stuffing the Sacred Santa Sock should I prove to have misbehaved. Besides, I have helped stuff and empty bait bags for lobster traps in my lifetime and am a bit wary of dead herring over a certain age in any hue of natural or induced discoloration. So please bear with some rather standard inquiries* and hints-forth be ready deposit the crimson fish in a proper receptacle: 1) WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO REVEAL YOUR GENDER AT THIS TIME? 2) MIGHT YOU BE WILLING TO REVEAL THE CONTINENT ON WHICH YOU DWELL?# 3) WHAT WOULD BE THE PREFERRED SNACK FOOD TO LAY OUT FOR YOURSELF, THE REINDEER AND ANY MORE VISITING ELVES? *(In all caps so as to be cap-tioned for the hard of herring) I shall inqiure of the House Brownies and Molly-kitty for any particulars they learned from your elves' previous visit (I DO know what food to bribe THEM with) and get back to you soon. I'm, of course, doing my best at "being-have" and aquitting myself well through my many trials until then.... The future beneficiary of your kindness, generosity and exquisite taste, Severn #Hopefully from one of the "IN-continents" (as designated yearly by Travel & Leisure Magazine), something I never had to care about much until I got older...... |
