Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,A Secret Santa Date: 17 Nov 12 - 08:42 AM Is this where I tell Nancy King that she'd better post some hints if she doesn't want her presents to be limited to coal and gruel? |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Secret Santa Date: 17 Nov 12 - 10:08 AM As I noted and said elsewhere: I am Sandra's Secret San I will send her lots of bran Other stuff the help her go Enjoy your holidays, Sydney Sandra! Prune juice, senna other stuff Will make your holidays pretty rough My station's far out in the bush For revenge you'd have to push. But perhaps I'll send a fruitcake lorn, You can consume on Christmas morn And think of us poor jackaroos Sharing Christmas with our horse. |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,The ART-ful Dodger Date: 17 Nov 12 - 11:53 AM So I checked out the security at the Natural History Museum and I think it is safe to say that you will NOT be receiving the Star of India in your package. I hear the Hope Diamond may be an easier mark. Check back here for updates. TAD |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,The ART-ful Dodger Date: 17 Nov 12 - 01:42 PM I have been able to satisfy two and possibly three of your desires but I seriously suggest you call her "Judy". |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Jenn's Jenerous and Jovial Julesperson Date: 17 Nov 12 - 07:19 PM Well, if you pronounce the last word of my adopted name as if you were Scandinavian that might work, just about, although of course I know you're not actually in Scandinavia at all and your ancestry might be entirely other. It was the best I could come up with right now. Anyway, Jennbrooks, your husband's hints two years or so back haven't left me much wiggle room but the elves assure me we've coped with worse than this, so we're getting the whole process geared up now and I can assure you something will be on its way to you before too long. Just make sure you keep up those high standards of moral rectitude and all that stuff and then we'll have no trouble at all. Now to deck those halls once again, to get us all in a more festive mood .... |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Rapparee Date: 18 Nov 12 - 11:00 AM The Star of India is in the Tower of London. All you have to do is pry it loose from its setting and send it on. The Hope Diamond is in the Smithsonian Institution in DC -- it would be more difficult to get AND a federal crime. I'm just trying to make it easy on my Secret Santa. |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Rapparee Date: 19 Nov 12 - 10:18 AM Hmm...Thomas Blood stole the stuff with the Star of India and got away with it. However, his epitath reads (or read): Here lies the man who boldly hath run through More villainies than England ever knew; And ne'er to any friend he had was true. Here let him then by all unpitied lie, And let's rejoice his time was come to die. My Secret Santa might not want people to "rejoice his time was come to die." |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: SINSULL Date: 19 Nov 12 - 01:29 PM In 1900, wealthy financier J.P. Morgan donated the Star of India to the American Museum of Natural History on Central Park West in Manhattan. On October 29, 1964, the famous golf-ball-sized stone was stolen, along with several other gems of note, including the Midnight Star, the DeLong Star Ruby, and the Eagle Diamond.[3] The thieves unlocked a bathroom window during museum open hours, climbed in that night, and found that the sapphire was the only gem in the collection protected by an alarm — and the battery for that was dead.[4] They raked up the stones and fled the same way they came in. The stones were valued at more than $400,000. Within two days, the notorious cat burglar, smuggler, and one-time surfing champion, Jack Murphy (also known as "Murph the Surf"), was arrested along with two accomplices, later receiving a three-year sentence. Some months later, the uninsured Star of India was recovered in a locker in a Miami bus station.[5] While most of the other gems were also found, the Eagle Diamond was never seen again. Wikipedia says Natural History Museum. So did he steal the Hope Diamond? |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Santa calling Sarah of the Flute Date: 23 Nov 12 - 03:29 AM Are you being good? Gathering goodies for you, just in case. Lump of coal ready, just in case. |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Greg Stephens - size large Rotund Elf Date: 24 Nov 12 - 01:49 AM The little elves are helpful, but it takes the big guy to get the job done. I am on the job. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Batty Santa Date: 24 Nov 12 - 06:37 PM Ah, me - what to do. The hint list seems to indicate that your life is somewhat boring...or perhaps ghoulish is closer. Tombstone rubbings, indeed. No, I think I shall just go on down to the cave and pick up ten pounds of bat guano. Fresh or dried? |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Nov 12 - 02:38 AM Interesting about those gems, Rap. When I took my daughter to the American Museum of Natural History we looked at all of those fancy stones - but we were most impressed with the huge pieces of Topaz - you'd need a station wagon to move the largest one, let alone wear it. But if it is that plentiful and that large, that's a good source of jewelry stones for me. No one should have to die to mine a stone I would wear as jewelry. Just in case my Santa had ideas along those lines. . . :) SRS |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: My guru always said Date: 25 Nov 12 - 05:22 PM OOohhhh!!! We were away for the weekend, and when we came back I found I gotta Santa! Whoopee! |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,The SS of Becca72 Date: 25 Nov 12 - 05:50 PM 'ullo 'ullo 'ullo. So it's black cats with emerald eyes? Or purple or blue-green? Off to look. Be good Becca. Be patient. I'm on the job. Special Santa to Becca. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Rapparee Date: 25 Nov 12 - 09:23 PM Well...I'd settle for a large, dark green, emerald. Failing that, perhaps a simple hat. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Becca72 Date: 26 Nov 12 - 10:14 AM Oh, thank you Santa! I'll do my very best to be good. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: SINSULL Date: 26 Nov 12 - 10:17 AM You lie, Becca. Shame on you. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Becca72 Date: 26 Nov 12 - 11:33 AM Hey, Sins...I said I'd TRY. I didn't say I'd succeed. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Joybell Date: 27 Nov 12 - 03:33 PM What a great hat. Yes! A hat like that would be good. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Sarah the flute Date: 28 Nov 12 - 04:47 AM Hurrah! I have a Santa Who appears to work down a mineshaft. I am being sooooooooo good in fact good just isn't a good enough word for what I am being! a VERY good StF |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: ClaireBear Date: 28 Nov 12 - 01:48 PM Hello Santa! Sorry, I've been away. I took my son to Disneyland, which seemed a good thing to do on a Thanksgiving when we've no kitchen, which we won't until my house rebuild is finished. Piratey produce, eh? I am very intrigued. Arrrrrhugula? Arrrrhtichokes? Whatever it is, I am sure it will be perfect! Yours, ClaireBear |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Bat Goddess Date: 28 Nov 12 - 06:35 PM Ah, bat guano is a wonderful fertilizer for my overgrown and jungly flower beds. And my resident Little Brown Bat population is smaller than it used to be...I hope because their exit and entrance has been closed and not because of White Nose Syndrome. I hear they make clocks out of petrified cow patties. What can be made out of bat poop besides explosives and fertilizer? Linn, the Bat Goddess P.S. I really don't need any explosives... |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Secret Santa Date: 28 Nov 12 - 09:48 PM Well now. I haven't received ANY reports, naughty or nice, about S in S this year! Repeated requests made to Elves Down Under (a holey owned Sandra in Sydney's Secret Santa Syndicate subsidiary) have gone unanswered save for one. That came from Elf 429H32 and read AVHBM SERTW PKLJR RETYB BBHGT PORTW BZXXX YTWPY REBYT AAUXX This message contains a key word which tells me that all of the elves have been captured by Sandra in Sydney's Secret Service and are now acting as double agents. Since Elf 429H32 is no longer with us (he, she, or it voluntarily imploded) and no other elf Down Under knows the Super Secret Sandra in Sydney's Santa Kendall Morse Kode I must conclude that she has been naughty indeed this year. Too, too, bad. |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 29 Nov 12 - 08:57 AM wot! I know nuffin', it's nothing to do with me sandra (saddened & horrified at the imputations) |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 30 Nov 12 - 02:12 PM Santa? Are you out there? |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Rapparee Date: 30 Nov 12 - 03:12 PM Maybe your Secret Santa got hijacked, Sandra. Or maybe s/he was so shocked by your disclaimer s/he had a heart attack and is in the NYCTS. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Joybell Date: 30 Nov 12 - 04:00 PM Santa? Are you there? |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: maeve Date: 30 Nov 12 - 04:35 PM My Santa must be verrrrrrrrrry busy doing important Santa stuff. That's ok. I'm busy stacking wood; keeping out of trouble. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 01 Dec 12 - 01:38 AM Santa? is Rap right??? (sniff) |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: My guru always said Date: 01 Dec 12 - 09:39 AM A mysterious package arrived this morning! Is it from you, Santa Dear? |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,ART-ful Dodger Date: 01 Dec 12 - 10:36 AM Mr Brooks. We are having a hell of a time finding the Star of India. Not giving up yet. Maybe a local gem? hmmmmmmm |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: artbrooks Date: 01 Dec 12 - 11:28 AM Did I say I wanted big rocks? Nah - doesn't fit my subdued and unassuming lifestyle. Maybe a family-sized bottle of Rogaine... |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Maeve's cretinous santa Date: 01 Dec 12 - 04:40 PM Never fear, your Santa is here.I have been very busy, but I finally talked Mrs. Claus into helping to put your gift together. I have also enlisted the help of a very special Elf to deliver your package. Do not open until Christmas or it may turn into a lump of coal. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: maeve Date: 01 Dec 12 - 04:48 PM Dear Not-At-All-Cretinous-Santa, Thank you kindly for your efforts on my behalf. Thanks also to Mrs. Clause for her help...and you say I'll be visited by a Special Elf? How very clever of you. I'd best tidy up just to be ready. I never open gifts before their designated Opening Day. Is that Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or Old Christmas, please. I'm afraid coal wouldn't be any use to us with all the firewood we have stacked, so I do want to get it right. Too busy to be anything but good, Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: maeve Date: 02 Dec 12 - 11:09 PM Dear Trustworthy-not-Cretinous Santa, You are as good as your word! Your Special Elf delivered your package to me tonight. Thank you for whatever it holds. I won't know until Christmas day. Thank you for your efforts on my behalf! Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,A Guru Santa Date: 03 Dec 12 - 10:23 AM maybe - does it look like a secretive pressie? |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Severn's surreptitious Santa Date: 04 Dec 12 - 01:54 PM Severn! I've been hearing stories galore about you... I will peruse them a while to see if they all pass muster and decide if you deserve the coal or the smokeless fuel this year. Be good! The package will wing its way to you shortly, elves, postmen and stubborn reindeer allowing. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Animaterra's surreptitious santa Date: 04 Dec 12 - 02:20 PM Oh Animaterra, you've got a Santa, and you almost know me! And I am hot on the trail of amusing oddities for you. Ho ho HO! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: My guru always said Date: 04 Dec 12 - 02:52 PM It certainly does look secretive, Santa Dear! Apart from the envelope there's no markings on it at all. I was very tempted to think it might be for my birthday which is tomorrow, but I'll be good and put it under the tree *grin* Many thanks! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 04 Dec 12 - 03:06 PM Oh, my, Santa! How exciting! I haven't been on much lately but you certainly brightened my day! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Secret Santa Date: 04 Dec 12 - 09:30 PM Oh me, oh my. All of the folks in the cardiac care ward have been very nice this year to a jolly old elf who came very close to snuffing it after reading Sandra's denial. Ho ho ho! I now know she was just toying with her Secret Santa. Well little Missy, your Secret Santa should have your pressies on their way to you very soon. That is, if Rudolph gets his GPS fixed. That boy couldn't find Asia without it! Ho ho ho! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Rapparee Date: 04 Dec 12 - 09:51 PM Santa, if you haven't yet got the hat, I'll take something else. Something simple, yet elegant. Forgiveness, perhaps. Or mercy. Or both. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 05 Dec 12 - 03:46 AM thankyou santa |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,A Moderately Secret Santa for OldDude Date: 05 Dec 12 - 07:31 AM The parcel's been posted... No opening until 25th December... on pain of a larger parcel containing... green Jello! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Sinsull's secretous santa-type person Date: 05 Dec 12 - 09:11 AM Dear Sins, An opportunity like this comes along once in a lifetime! Keep an eye out for treasures galore! This is going to be as much fun for me as it is for you. Oh, who am I kidding?? It's going to be more fun for ME! (insert evil laugh here) |
