Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Barb'ry's sea-farin' secret Santa Date: 16 Oct 06 - 06:28 PM You've got no Santa? So that's what you think (Way - hey - Santee Barb'ry) Your Santa's a plowin' the briny old drink (And all for a prezzie for thee!) Yo (errr, ho) ho ho! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Barb'ry Date: 17 Oct 06 - 03:32 AM A sea farin' Santa! What girl could ask more For you've boxes of riches In your great pirate store! American hum? Not UK anyway. Oh I like this game |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: SharonA Date: 17 Oct 06 - 12:20 PM Oh joy! Oh joy!! A jamboree!!! How lucky can one woman be? How will I wait for two months more To find a pressie at my door?!? But there's one thing I should make clear Before your next post, Santa dear: If I be young enough, I oughter Be not your "son" but your daughter. :^) Sharon |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Ranger Steve's TweakingHisNose Santa Date: 17 Oct 06 - 12:49 PM Fear not, Ranger. Your Santa is on the job and only teasing you. Ebay is worldwide and has provided part one of your package. Now, do have them send it direct with a note "Do Not Open Until Xmas" or keep it as part of one parcel? Can a Ranger be trusted not to tamper with evidence? What kind of Ranger are you, anyway? A glamorous Texas Ranger? A less glamorous but more useful Park Ranger? Or a totally useless gas guzzling SUV? More teasing. SS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: ClaireBear Date: 17 Oct 06 - 01:45 PM I wonder if I have a Santa? And, because I'm a new member (though a longtime guest poster before that, As Guest,ClaireBear), I wonder if Santa has been able to figure out enough about me from my hints and history to dig the right prezzie out of his sack? Is there anything else you'd like to know, you Jolly Old Elf? I've been very, very good... |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Marvellous Maeve's Silent Secret Santa Date: 17 Oct 06 - 03:50 PM Dear Marvellous Maeve, your hints have been read by one of my Elf-maidens and my Go-fers have all got their thinking caps and will be scouring my workshops and stockrooms for your hearts desires. No-one's even been in those rooms with a duster since last Christmas Eve, so I expect they'll spend some time sneezing while they work. I'll pass a bottle of Ginger Wine in every once in a while to keep them going. This may take some time..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,catsPHiddle's stoned Santa Date: 20 Oct 06 - 08:27 PM Since Arlo Guthrie's an American bloke, You just may not have gotten the joke. So perhaps you will go into hysterics, When you ascertain the original lyrics. A ki, you see, is a whole lot of something you smoke; The first time or two it'll make you choke. So you might want to stick with the couple of teas --that I sent you, but still, here's the words of Guthrie's: COMING INTO LOS ANGELES Coming in from London from over the pole Flying in a big airliner Chickens flyin' everywhere around the plane Could we ever feel much finer Refrain: Coming into Los Angeles Bringing in a couple of ki's Don't touch my bags if you please Mister customs man There's a guy with a ticket to Mexico No, he couldn't look much stranger Walkin' in the hall with his things and all Smiling said he was the Lone Ranger {Refrain} Hip woman walkin' on the moving floor Tripping on the escalator There's a man in the line and she's blowin' his mind Thinking that he's already made her {Refrain} Coming in from London from over the pole Flying in a big airliner Chickens flyin' everywhere around the plane Could we ever feel much finer {Refrain} |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Freda Underhill's Secret Santa Date: 20 Oct 06 - 08:36 PM Why is it, dear Ms Underhill, it seems to happen that Whether in the real world or posting on the Cat Though now and then you pop upstairs as bold as ever was You spend most time below the line in BS and in Oz This year you say you've not been good, But if you want some gifts .... "YOU SHOULD" Santa Clues is coming to town, very puzzled, looking for purple stripey classical kids books |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,SharonAs Secretive Santa Date: 22 Oct 06 - 05:53 AM SharonA you really oughter know how hard a rhyme is daughter!!! But I will try in my small way to send surprises on the day now," eye of toad and wing of bat..." oooppps, wrong recipe, sorry for that Traditional singing? New age , vocal? or maybe some thats simply "local"? a singing artist of renown that reached for fame in my home town? we will delve and search with care in our red sack and see whats there SASS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Snuffy Date: 22 Oct 06 - 06:33 AM Well, my head-scratching Santa stand-in, what have you been standing in? Perhaps it was long grass, and that is why I managed to miss your clues for nearly a week? Looking at some of the poetry on here, I'm sure poor old CCM must be whirling in his grave. As to your clues, never having met in real life really does narrow it down a lot - I shouldn't have much trouble figuring out your identity from that. I guess you're not a miner (nor a minor, nor yet A Minor) but there does seem to be some dirty work afoot. So there's no need to make promises of purity: that would be like coals to Newcastle, as the Purity Brewery is but 7 miles from my home and I can get their beer in many pubs in the area. Besides the cost of sending beer through the mail would be prohibitive. I know Santa is supposed to reside at the North Pole, but would I be correct to think that you are usually further from it than I? |
