Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: Helen Date: 17 Nov 04 - 01:51 PM Guest, 17 Nov 04 - 07:18 AM I'm in the same boat, but I keep reminding myself that my Secret Santa is under no obligation to come to this thread and post silly hints, and may in fact not know that the thread is here. My Santee has also not responded to my silly hints so I'm not even sure if they saw the hints or not. Oh well, wait and see I suppose. Kinda takes the fun out of it a bit though. Helen |

Happy thanksgiving your Secret Santa |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: GUEST,BWL's Secret Santa Date: 17 Nov 04 - 07:51 PM Well now I see you're still about A present I must now sort out I thought that I'd get off scot free But now I fear it's costing me. A little taster's on it's way You needn't wait till Christmas Day. Just take the record, play it through I'll sock it to you on track 2 |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: jaze Date: 17 Nov 04 - 08:06 PM Boy, Santa, you're a wealth of information! :>) |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: My guru always said Date: 18 Nov 04 - 05:37 PM Dear Santa, Yes, I can see what you mean about the address, the reality itself is just as magical *grin* A friend has very kindly loaned me an old Atlas (reprint from 1964) & I've decided that if I decide to believe the 1,500 miles East clue, coupled with the Cactus thing, I'm looking at 4 possible States for your Holiday Home away from the North Pole - Texas, New Mexico, Arizona or California. Of course the Wineries narrows it down to 1 as far as I'm concerned, but then what would I know, I'm just a poor Yooker!!! Must admit I'm finding it quite a challenge trying to track you down when you have no profile. Your Able & Charming Assistant should be easier to identify, but information has been woven so cunningly that it's tricky trying to separate your clues, it's like a mix & match at the moment. Much as I enjoy a decent jigsaw puzzle, this has me foxed! And the 2 postcards had different handwriting. Oh woe is me! Curiouser & Curiouser... More clues please Dear Santa *smile* |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: curmudgeon Date: 18 Nov 04 - 05:47 PM Dear Santa, Please accept my apologies for being late with a response. Somehow, your posting got past me. I assure you that I have been very good; I take my meds, do what the doctors tell me, and most important, do what Bat Goddess tells me. Looking forward to your Yuleish benificense -- Tom |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: GUEST,My Gas's SS's Automation Amanuensis Date: 18 Nov 04 - 11:52 PM OK, since you ask...we live in at least one of the states you mention (and at least one of us has previously lived in each of the others). There are both rivers and mountains within five miles of our home - or at least one of each. BTW, we do have cactus here, but no saguaros. They only grow west of here. |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: My guru always said Date: 19 Nov 04 - 04:02 PM Aha, many thanks, that Saguaros clue was a good one!! Best get that old Atlas out again *grin* but: "we live in at least one of the states you mention", now that's weird!! |

Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: GUEST,LF's SS Santa Date: 19 Nov 04 - 08:44 PM So, you think you've been abused? Well, you haven't experienced abuse until you've been in the United State Marine Corps! But come to think of it, I haven't been in any Marines, US or Royal or any. Now, when I was in the SBS, we...no wait I wasn't in either the SBS or the SAS. I was never allowed to have any fun. Hidden within the posts are clues to my identity. And I will provide you with another: the posts are nothing at all like me. Not at all. I'm frae the Highlands and tho' I canna play the pipes, I'd have na problem wi' a pipe o' ale, especially if you were paying. Laddy, yer present will be on the way to ya tomorrow. I'd wanted to put more in it, but I an assured that you will appreciate it as it is. And that All for now. |

Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: GUEST,SS to the perfectly patient Tinker Date: 21 Nov 04 - 06:50 AM Well, the Elves have decided that this week is the right time for a complete shutdown, clean wipe & reinstallation of all our services at the North Pole, and who am I to contradict my Able Assistants who are experts in this field. The Elves are obviously determined to get this nasty chore over & done with in advance of the busy time ahead. So don't you worry Dear Tinker if I'm unable to communicate for the next few days (or however long it takes), there is a backup service locally which can be accessed in need. Please note that all spells will continue to be enforcable during this planned shut-down. Patience is definitely a Virtue..... |

Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: GUEST,The Terribly Secret Santa of Leadfingers Date: 21 Nov 04 - 03:00 PM Sir: Your present was posted yesterday. Since it is coming from the third star to the left and stagger around blindly 'til morning, it will take some little time to get there. For your own sake please do not hold your breath until it comes, for if you do you will turn blue, faint, and if you don't start breathing again, you will most assuredly not be around when your present arrives. It is e'en now winging its way to you o'er mountains and seas, across rocks and rills and rivers, passing through ports and portals, until one day -- perhaps even before you toss the Yule log upon the festive fire -- you will reverently hold it in your hands and ask "What the hell is this?" And when you have opened the package you will find the gift, neatly wrapped in cow, and you will exclaim, "YUCK! What the HELL is this?!" Remember that your Secret Santa now has finger that are mere nubbins of bone, worn down to pay for your present, which, we understand, is something that you actually want. Sincerely Yours, (signed) E. Edward Elvenfiend Terribly Secret Santa Secretary |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: GUEST,Mary in Kentucky's Secret Santa Date: 21 Nov 04 - 07:02 PM Dear Mary, Your parcel is on its way. I sent Delvene The Elvene with a beautifully wrapped parcel to the mail room and she returned quite a long time later, looking very dishevelled with a silly smirk on her face and your present still in her hand. Silly girl.......she thought I said the MALE room! She had gone to visit Boris The Chief Elf in the workroom. So I accompanied her to the dispatch room and made sure she did her duty correctly. Hopefully the Polar Express Post is working well this year. Best Regards Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 21 Nov 04 - 10:00 PM Wow Santa, you're really working overtime, sending the package so early and all. As it turns out, I have good postal connections to just about anywhere in the world (except Oz for some reason). I'll look for a surprise in the post next week - if you're who I think you are! (Actually, with the weather we've had the last three days I wish I'd put in an order for some sunshine.) |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: GUEST,Alaska Mike's Secret Santa Date: 22 Nov 04 - 07:00 AM Glad to see you back from your trip, Mike. Did you need sunglasses? |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: Alaska Mike Date: 22 Nov 04 - 09:28 AM Thanks for keeping such good track of me Santa, you old scamp. No, sunglasses were NOT needed where I was at in the Aleutian Islands. We had lots of rain blowing sideways and snow blowing sideways, but didn't have much sun blowing sideways. Its good to be back. My next trip is December 6th down to Seattle. I'm hoping to have a chance to share a song or two with Deckman and Miken and others while there. By the way, you never told me if I had made the naughty list again this year. Take care of yourself, Santa. I know you've got a lot to do in the next month or so. Watch out for your back, and don't hurt yourself with any of them cutting tools. Best wishes to you, Mike |
Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: GUEST,Alaska Mike's Secret Santa Date: 22 Nov 04 - 10:05 AM Mike, one of the elves told me about the rain on your trip and that you might need sunglasses, suntan lotion and a Hawaiian shirt for gag gifts. As far as the naughty list, let's just say you're still being evaluated. All that time with MMario and Big Mick had me concerned, but it seems you behaved once you were away from them. Keep up the good work and keep singing! |

Subject: RE: BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints From: GUEST,Tig's Cloaked Claus... Date: 22 Nov 04 - 05:42 PM I have not seen a message from you, this year, m'dear. So I am not sure if you are bothering to read these threads. If you are, however, I will tell you this: I am no where near a saint, so I will not take the title of "Santa." And even though you have not left me any clues this year, I know, by the power of all things Clausian, what you want for Yule. I have also sent word to my elves to begin flying your pressie to you A.S.A.P.. They inform me, on their honor, that it will arive in time. And if you can't take an elve's word of honor, you have not an ounce of trust in you. |
