Sweeties, dainties... here on my planet we call them candies, but you know what they say about a rose by any other name. There is a particular confection that my part of the planet is famous for, with chocolate and nuts. You aren't allergic to nuts, are you? Sherry and mince pies sounds divine, although I allow you'll have to watch me on the sherry. I am so fond of it that I have been known to lose track of how much I imbibe. Not hard to do with a nectar that tastes like raisins melted in caramel. And you won't have to grease the chimney much for me - I'm rather slight of build. Cheers---- Sandy Claws ps to Sian - I have seen the licorice socks! It sounds like a fun little project to decorate packages with. |

10 Oct 03 - 11:14 AM (#1033146) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: sian, west wales Hmmm. Hadn't thought about the licorice socks as decorations! Trust Sandy Claws to think of that!

13 Oct 03 - 12:06 PM (#1034688) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Edain`s Secret Santa My dear Edain, I have read your details most carefully and as someone who is older and wiser of the ways of the world and of men than you are, I shall make sure that my presents to you are of the most suitable and sensible kind for a young gel alone in a foreign country. Miss Catsphiddle (I am not really sure I approve of that name by the way!) has at least exercised some common sense in giving me your name and I take it upon myself to ensure you are well equipped for your journeys through foreign parts. I am at this moment working my way through the "Colonial and Foreign" section of "Peabodys essential guide for young women abroad" and should have your trunk of supplies packed and dispatched in short order. In the meantime, do not speak to anyone who does not speak English, and be very suspicious of anyone not wearing a collar and tie. They are unlikely to be gentlemen and may wish to take advantage of your circumstances. As my late husband "The Colonel" used to say when we were out in Africa..........well maybe I shouldn't say it, we live in different times now.......sigh......

I'd send you a back porch (with a swing, naturally), but I don't think it would fit through the mail slot. From your hints list, it seems that you have everything you want or need... but could do with a little more time.

14 Oct 03 - 09:19 AM (#1035319) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Edain`s Secret Santa Well I NEVER!! My Dear Edain, I have just had the most distressing news. My Tenure as Head Mistress of Miss Warburtons School for young Ladies, is to come to a premature end! To say that I am shocked that a person of my stature in the community should be accused of such misdemeanors is, to be frank with you, an indication of the erosion of the values of modern society. To call into question my need to use school funds in the way I see as most beneficial, is yet further evidence of "the tail wagging the dog" and shows the power of these petty beaurocrats and accountants who are all jumped up clerks and not a single one of them from a "good" family I shouldn't wonder! I tried to explain to them that the tip I had for the 3.45 at Haydock came from the most IMPECABLE source but they just wouldn't listen! And when they had the gall to come bursting into my rooms in the early hours of the morning as I was leafing through the underwear section of "Peabodys essential guide for young women abroad" (Illustrated) it just made matters worse! No matter how many times I tried to explain that I was looking for suitable attire for my young friend in the colonies (that is you of course my dear) they seemed to think that you should be able to fend for yourself! These people are philistines and have NO experience of the DANGERS that face young women abroad. They also seemed to take a "dim view" of the bottles of Gin I had in the room. Again I tried to explain that I still suffer from the malaria that I picked up in my time in Africa and that the Gin was merely to flavour the Tonic Water (which I am sure an educated gel like you knows has quinine, a well established malaria cure). At that point I felt I had no option but to resign! One`s honor can only stand so much! I feel terribly disappointed for my gels here at the school, I fear for their future. But at least they have their parents to fall back on. However, you my dear, have no one, save myself. I therefore promise to devote my efforts to ensuring you welfare from now on. I have a little money put on one side (the horse came first by the way), so you need have no fear that I will be deserting you in my hour of need and personal distress. I do enjoy our little "chats". Will you be replying at some time in the near future? yours in adversity, ESS |

14 Oct 03 - 07:37 PM (#1035748) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Bat Goddess Oh, sorry, SS! I've been neglecting Mudcat and slaving instead over a hot computer to try to earn some moola so I don't have to knit my Secret Santee some liederhosen out of dried herbs and acorns (and a hat to match). Ayuh, orange carnations 'specially if soaked in Cinnamint flavoring to make my mouth peel if I suck on 'em. (Eee-ooo, I cringe just to think of it.) How about a part time job that isn't in Dilbert Land? Can you rustle up one of those within the budget? My taste in vulcanized marine creatures isn't limited to squid or octo- & decapods. My collection includes rubber jellyfish (glow in the dark!), skates, a shark that regurgitates a bubble of body parts . . . I've also been known to have a few flamingoes around the ol' hacienda . . . including an 8 foot tall plush one that dwarfs our friend Micca. (There's a picture around somewhere of that -- Micca's fondling her. She's still pining.) I'm also seriously appreciate skulls found on woodland walks (or desert walks or whatever) -- and I currently have no snake or bird skulls. I also like shells and interesting rocks. I'm not only a closet naturalist, but I really should have grown up to be an archaeologist. Oh, and maps. Did I tell you about maps? Like maps that show locations of squid and flamingoes. Gotta run.

I received a visit in my "accommodation" during the early hours of the morning from the Deputy Governor of this accursed establishment, accompanied by a most unpleasant Detective Constable who, in exchange for my "winnings", secured my release!! A large price to pay for my liberty but this is how these things apparently work in this third world country that still tries to call itself ENGLAND! Anyway, I am heading east on the train as we speak, passing through Millstone Grit country and towards the great Vale. How I long to feel the Boulder Clay of home under my feet again. I can say no more as I am sure my communications are being monitored and there is a strange man peering over the top of a newspaper at the back of the carriage who I am convinced is following me! (they seem to think I know something about the missing silver from the school dining room!!) I am pleased you have taken my advice on how to deal with life abroad. Keep your guard up at all times my dear, I know you are a sensible sort. Dont worry, supplies will be with you as soon as I am settled. ESS |

I've been trying hard all week, now I don't want to damage his teeth, but I am getting annoyed & if he won't behave I might have to whack him one with the broomstick or the pumpkin, but he is gunna get in that box or else. Then I'll pack everything in nicely & send them off in time for christmas (not Halloween) |

If you've said anything, I've not seen it. But that's okay. I know this is a busy time of year. Most of my details from last year still apply. I like tea and tea-related stuff. I'd love your music, if you record it. I don't wear jewelry. I'd like any kind of stuff from your specific area, like local photos, photos of you where you live, or a local newspaper, perhaps. I was in journalism more years than I care to admit and really get a kick out of papers from other areas. See, I'm easy -- and cheap, too. ~;o) Mary |

That would be like sending me used shoes (one reason I despise bowling). I want a new one Well, not a buy toy but not with a divorce lawyer in tow either. And after the fiasco with Big Mick, this one has to a ring upfront! So...rich, all his teeth, single, ring, over 46,knows to put the down,...the list is getting longer. I prefer banjo players. They are sexier, you know. And finally, put some airholes in the box. I don't want him to smell bad when he arrives. Thank you, Santa Mary, who has been a good little girl all year. |

29 Oct 03 - 11:37 PM (#1044289) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Bee-dubya-ell Aha! I just realized that in his first post my Secret Santa originally identified himself as "Bee-dubya-ell's Silly Santa". In the second post he is "Be-dubya-ell's Jolly Old Elf" (sic). But, most importantly, somehow the name on the first post got changed from "Bee-dubya-ell's Silly Santa" to "Bee-dubya-ell's Jolly Old Elf". Now, that's not a trick that just anyone can pull off. In fact, it's something that only the chosen few, the elite, the omnipotent, the Joe Clones can do. That means my Secret Santa is a Joe Clone! Oh! My heart does go "pitter-patter" that I, a lowly hillbilly guitar player, should have a Joe Clone for a Secret Santa! I feel so humble I could just shit. |

I've actually MET Joe (the one, the only) once, but clonishness didn't rub off, and I don't know if I've ever met a Joe Clone. (Do they glow in the dark? Have a secret handshake? A newsletter?

I've been to church every single day; I've foreborne from teaching "Bastard King of England" to the kids at storyhour; I've mostly kept my knowledge of How To Make Things Go BOOM! to myself, sharing it only with my nine-year-old nephew; I haven't cracked into either the CIA or the NSA databases; I haven't kicked any puppies or kitties; I've saved some money even; I've given up hard liquor, fast women, and low companions for hard companions, low women and fast liquor -- why, I haven't even sold any dirty pictures to preschoolers! I haven't gotten a tattoo or had a hole bored into part of me, and I've even shaved most every day. And no matter how great the temptation I've resisted it, except when I didn't. And I've even told the truth, up to a point.* Of course, to do this I've had to give up fishing and social intercourse in general. Realizing that my body is a temple and my soul is pure, I think that I can safely say that I have, in thought, word, and deed, been the epitome of good this year. Watcha gonna git me? *The point where I start lying. |

It is something fairly common in an uncommon package, but there are links to the two cities I have lived in and to their local history. |

Now Santa, I don't ask for much, and I really don't need anything because I already have so much shit you wouldn't believe it if you saw it, but I am not so secure when it comes to being ignored. I admit that the one thing I do need is human contact. I thrive on human contact. I live for human contact. I am fortunate enough to have a small circle of friends that I can recieve human contact from, but I feel I am lacking a certain amount of a more spiritual Santa type of contact. I promise if you contact me I will leave you some cookies and tequila on the nightstand. I might even be into waking up and sharing them with you, but Santa, I am starting to doubt your existance. I was always told you were out there somewhere and just want you to know, I do believe in you. Your true believer, Rustic PS.

I have to admit that I'm glad I am expected to post the pressie to you rather that drop it off on Christmas Eve night considering my world locator program is rather confused by your address. I wanted to pull down a satellite image, but to no avail. I'm sure the pressie will get there fine. (I know I've been to your place every year, but, to let you in on a little secret - I never know whose home I'm at until one of the reindeer tell me the name. My head is so filled up with the good and the bad kiddies, that I have little idea where I am until they tell me and the appropriate present pops out of the bag (Mrs. Claus loves making me use hi-tech gadgets). Oops - my microwave popcorn is ready. Donner says hi (he takes dictation rather well, don't you think?). |

Unfortunately there has been a small incident in our records department (we would like to reassure you that the Elf involved has been disciplined and the sherry moved to a higher shelf) during which, documents relating to your recent activities were inadvertantly destroyed. In light of this regrettable occurance the decision has been taken to place your name on the Nice list and we are pleased to inform you that your Secret Santa gift is now on it's way to you. We hope you have a very merry Christmas and will be a very good boy next year. Yours festively Secret Santa and his Chief Records Elf |

Yes! I've been good, my prezzie, I deserve it. A cheery wave and they depart I've got my gift clutched to my heart. So, there it sits in my front room Lifting all winter gloom. Tempting me.

15 Nov 03 - 09:55 AM (#1054110) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Rapparee Good, SS? How does one define "good"? And isn't "good" transitory and in many ways dependent upon the circumstances surrounding one? I spent the last couple or three days in Provo, Utah, near your hometown of Sandy, Utah (I assume that's why you're called "Sandy" anyway). Since I wasn't in Pocatello, the concept of "good" shifted to what would be considered "good" in Provo. As you know, that's the home of Brigham Young University and the LDS Missionary school. So by rights I shouldn't have consumed alcohol or caffeine and led a life free from "sin". Oh, I just remembered something I did there, so, ah, well.... Anyway, the concept of "goodness" is not only relative to your spatial location, it is also relative to your temporality. I mean, sometimes "good" means not shooting your neighbor, but othertimes "good" means offing the dude, right? So anyway, I haven't busted caps on anybody recently, so I guess I've been good in recent temporality. So yeah, I guess I've been good, Santa, at least recently in Pocatello. I think I saw your Pocatello elf the other day. Looks like an elf, anyway, flattened out on I-15. Looked like the ol' elf had been coming from Madame Jinky's Elf Bar & Bordello and didn't quite beat an 18-wheeler across the Interstate. That could be why you haven't had any reports lately. If you ask, the State Police will probably send you the dude's hat; I don't thing you'd want the rest of your ex-elf. |

Secret Santa, your little pre Christmas gift from the Getaway really cheered me up. You see, I was in a hotel room, as part of a very intense campaign. I had been away from home for two weeks, was so lonely and tired, and no access to the Internet. Couldn't even Mudcat. I was getting things out of the trunk of my car, and ...lo and behold....there was the Christmas Ale. I had forgotten it there, as my life has been a blur since I got home from FSGW. Fortunately the weather was cool, and it was the perfect temperature (cellar temp) for drinking. So I sat in my room, played my guitar, drank the wonderful gift of Ale, and thought about the precious friends I have made here. Thanks, Santa. All the best, Mick |

15 Nov 03 - 03:09 PM (#1054258) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Rapaire's Secret Santa Sad to say, that was the Pocatello elf you saw, never really did a good job anyway. Now I need to transfer duties (keeping tabs on all the I-dee-ho-ho-ho folks) to another elf. My choices are the elves in Boise, Helena, Salt Lake City and Yellowstone. I really like the Yellowstone elf for the job. He's not too, well you know, not too much like the SLC elf. Boise and Helena offices are a bit technologically challenged. That settles it, I'll go for the Yellowstone office. That's such a beautiful place anyway, I may have to make a surprise visit to that office soon. Whatever you did in SLC last week stays there. But you can be assured that I'll know EVERYTHING from here on out. I trust you'll be helping your lovely wife with all the Thanksgiving preparations. Remember, I'll get a full report. |

I suppose I'll just have to send you something else (although I am working on the seafood angle -- I guess you could say that I'm an angler, hahahaha!). So, how about a nice cow skull? All dry, of course, and bleached by the sun and wind. Could become a nifty conversation piece in your living room, especially if you wire red LEDs into the eye holes. Or, if you want, I could probably send you a do-it-yourself cow skull kit. After all, these ARE indigenous to my part of the world and I'll just bet that you don't have any where you are. |

28 Nov 03 - 08:50 AM (#1062510) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Rapparee Whatever for, SS old buddy, old pal? I helped with Thanksgiving dinner, making a nice salad of organic herbs, dried berries, sliced almonds, and herbed chevre. Why, I even went so far as to help you out, getting your drunken lout of a elf sprung from the Portage County Jail on a writ of Non Compis Contendere Corpus Juris Secundum -- it helps to be in a place with two lawyers, the faculty of a two law schools, and two good law libraries accesible (you'll be receiving a bill, I afraid, as these legal services don't come cheap, but I'm certain that you can make it up by farming out the services of your Valpo office to John Ashcroft). Boy oh boy, SS, do the costs of these obscure legal pleas add us! Whooo! I don't think I've ever seen so many zeros on a bill before -- why don't they just use scientific notation and be done with it? All in all I've been, not just a good boy this Thanksgiving, but a downright wonderful one. And I'm flying back today so that I can volunteer in the leprosy hospital this evening. |

Tell your friends I'm good for this bill, but that elf has been relieved. I'm sure you'll meet with better elves in I-dee-ho-ho-ho.

Now how can I give some more hints? I'm a reasonably frequent vistor to one or more of the places associated with what's in your package... The posting place may give a clue...if you think very small indeed ... I still have hope of finding the Sandman comics for a later mailing in my home town... the wild boar proved beyond my humble capabilities and the local environment I'm afraid. Hmm...let's see what else? We share a lot of musical interests. I have met quite a lot of 'Catters and certainly we have some common contacts amongst them. However, I don't think this will make it any easier to guess my identity. Archaeology.....certainly! Was involved in it for quite a while! Old books? Love them as well! My oldest is Brookes' "Natual History of Quadrupedes - including Amphibious Animals, Frogs and Lizards - with Their Properties and Ufes in Medicine" printed at the Bobile and Sun, St. Paul's Church-Yard, 1763. I have it by my side now and interestingly it descibes Europeans' knowledge of indiginous peoples at that time. Here is what it says about the indiginous Californians. We fhall clofe the defcription of the Americans with fome account of the Californians, which are the leaft known to the Europeans of any in that part of the world.....They all go naked, only the Women have a fort of petticoats, made of filk, grafs, or fkins....They are far from being handfome..... An interesting insight into the perspectives and social views of the time! Perhaps that will do for now...I'll post some more hints soon! All the best from your Secretive Yule-Person! |

Anyway, as for my degree and kind of goodness, it of course all depends on your definition...I am sure I have done a very good job of being myself, but how valuable that is to anyone else, I can't say. However, if you are being truthful about having delivered my wonderful pressie into the hands of the Land and Sea Delivery Service, it is probably too late for any answer to make a difference, eh?

I recently saw, in a consignment shop featuring various artists, some wonderful stuffed animals of all sorts of exotic types (not what you usually see in FAO Schwartz).

We had a bit of a problem with the old homestead - need to move and are still waiting on a yes from the new management (who'd a thunk that Santa would have to move to Downtown North Pole from the 'burbs 3+ weeks before Christmas!) For good or bad, Santa's scooter broke down and getting time to get to the mail center is pretty difficult with commuting on the NPPSTS (North Pole Public Sleigh Transportation System). You'll get your pressie(s) but they've got a long way to travel. I'm really sorry about that but please know that it all couldn't be helped. |

No need to really worry, but I am not sure where I'll be sleeping by this weekend and the scooter is dead for now and one of my job's been cut back. I've got friends around who are helping, so that's good, but it's still tough. Send Santa some good thoughts and don't worry, Helen's pressie(s) will go out sometime this weekend. |

The U.S. Post Office requires that I list the contents on the green form on the outside of the package. Because of all the worries the American's have, I ususally try to be truthful in listing them, this however may give away the nature of your gifts. So, if you see the little square green sticky, avert your eyes if you truly want to be surprised. Ho ho ho. |

I hope to augment this with one or two other things as I mentioned before which you should get in the New Year. Some more clues? You are doing well so far! You are right about an Irish connection although my Irish is not at all good! Although I could still wish you... Barróga agus póga Oh bother...I've given my gender away now! What do I know about Peg, well for a start.... Tá guth binn, ceolmhar aicí from the evidence that I have heard! And me? Well it is purported that I am some sort of musician and sometimes play Irish and Scottish (and Breton...and that gives me another idea...!) traditional music (it being in the genes so to speak) but also other genres (in fact that's what I do much more of these days). My instruments include several different sorts of six string things, different sorts of eight string things, three and four string things and many types of hittable things! I have also experimented less successfully with squeezable things and blowable things...(flutes and whistles for those of you with dirty minds!). In fact, it could be said that I suffer from GAS (although I am not Catspaw...). What other clues can I offer? I do not drink (unusual for a Mudcatter...!) Nuair a bhíos an braon istigh bíonn an chiall amuigh. I have a worthwhile and interesting job... Ní thuirsítear fear na héadála. And I do not aspire to wealth or material things... Is buaine port ná glór na n-éan, Is buaine focal ná toice an tsaoil. All very best wishes to you! |

Perhaps a kindly postal worker will deface that for you. Also, the return name and address is that of a fictitious character who only exists outside the reality of Mudcat.

I hope you have been good and not naughty, because it is too late now to go and get your pressie out of the sleigh. It's right at the bottom under a mountain of other pressies so the elves have told me that there can be no going back on naughty/nice decisions at this late stage. They're getting too naughty for their own good. Next thing you know they will be joining the Union. Just see if they like it if I put them on the naughty list and all they get is a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings. Well, I suppose they have been working hard helping me to find the right presents for you so I should cut them a bit of slack. Don't worry if you don't get it for a week or two. We have a lot of presents to deliver and the route has been worked out very strictly by the reindeer. They might get coal too, if they don't behave. Your Secret Santa |

(in case you did not read the "pressie" thread, I caved in and opened my gifts). I LOVE Breton music and also Breton traditional dancing. I think it would be great to have a group nearby that knows some of this, but it's mostly Scottish, Irish and English here (I guess we're lucky to have that!) I know there is a folk dance group in/near Glastonbury, UK that does some Breton stuff. I was in an a cappella group two years ago that sang stuff in various Celtic languages; we did only one gig but we did sing a Breton language song...about VD! By the way, I have been unable to post anonymously on ths thread because whe I log out my cookie gets "corrupted" and I can't post.

14 Dec 03 - 11:50 AM (#1072050) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,For Mary in KY: The SS (aka the Thought Po Our Thought Police Crime Control Sensing Device has detected an intention by someone in Kentucky of being naughty before Christmas in the hope that she (for it is indeed a female perp) can swindle herself a Secret Santa present. This is an official notification that if all else fails we will send out the Super-Dooper Reindeer Troopers with sirens wailing and lights flashing to intercept Santa's sleigh and retrieve said present, and confiscate it, as well as seizing all the other presents in the sleigh because they will be considered as contraband until proven otherwise. Mary in KY, this is your last chance. Confess that you really don't want to deprive all of the other nice people of their presents just because of a fleeting whim to go out and have some naughty fun. We know you don't want to deprive the other children (and grown-up children) of their Christmas cheer because we can read your thoughts (and we know that you are really a nice person - well most of the time, well, except when you ..... sorry, confidential information, cannot include that in a public warning notice..... This is another public service announcement from The Thought Police P.S. We have your Secret Santa and we are force feeding him/her cookies and brandy until he/she confesses where the present is stowed on the sleigh. (How do you think Santa gets to fill out that big Santa suit so well? We do this every year and he/she is now hooked on cookies and brandy, and the suit has to be made bigger with each passing year to accommodate that big belly. That's why he/she ho-ho-ho's all the time. He/she is blind drunk from all that brandy. Then we get to catch him/her driving under the influence. It's a vicious cycle, a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.) |

15 Dec 03 - 01:14 AM (#1072583) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Mary in KY's Secret Santa Yes, Helen, I totally agree. Having read Mary's hints and also read a number of her postings I realised that she seems to put great value on thinking clearly, and helping others to be more logical and clear in their thinking. And I wouldn't worry about those Thought Police if I were you, Mary, because I'm a wiz at speed-flying and quick aerial manoeuvres to escape them.

They were having a great old time, let me tell you, riding the waves and sunbaking on the sand. I had a hard time of it getting them to leave. I had to buy them all icecreams before they would consider putting on the harness and getting airborne. Nevertheless, they are now on their way, and hopefully you will have your prezzie before Xmas.

After all, the "-a" ending usually denotes the feminine: puella, puta, mesa, and so on. And, in Latin, the "-us" ending denotes the masculine: gladius, Romulus, and like that. So what about the "-um" ending, like in "tectum" or "vomitorium"? Oh wait, that's neuter. And speaking of linguistics, the first of Burke's presents should be going out today or at least very, very soon. (Hints: it's not ticking and probably won't explode if dropped. Probably.) |

After all, there are people who either (1) celebrate a different holiday (2) celebrate all possible holidays or (3) have no will power. So, you go ahead and open it whenever you want. After all, considering who has it, it might be a Valentine's Day pressie! |

But then, I might not. Its a long trek, it is, snow or no snow. Once I manage to get there, it has about 3250 kilometers to go to get to you in North Gawdawful---isn't that about 2030 of your miles? Any road, have fun with it. I hope the thing in the big box gets there intact---me mate trapped, I mean made, it. |

17 Dec 03 - 01:26 PM (#1074648) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Helen's Secret Santa Good news! Everything in my life finally got organized enough to send the pressie your way. Considering the amount of postage required, I figure it just might make it by Christmas. I sure hope so. I sent it out on Monday and North Pole Mail says it'll take about 6 or so days. I hope you like it. Frankly, I wrapped it so long ago, I kinda forgot what you're getting. Can't check the database right now either - that's located in Sri Lanka and have to check it through the Net. I just got back online today and there's a sleigh-load of elfs up here waiting to check their email and catch up with their porn site traffic (that's one way we track naughty people - or at least that's their excuse). Gotta go - Blitzen want's to check out the other B.S. treads. |

17 Dec 03 - 03:43 PM (#1074737) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: Helen Thanks, Secret Santa! If it really does take 6 days then it would be here before Christmas, but I reckon it's the post office people who are being naughty. Sitting around looking up those porn sites and not getting their work done. I think the elves are very up-to-date, thinking of that clever way to monitor naughtiness. Maybe too clever for their own good, if they also show up on the naughtiness database. So, I'll be happy whenever this excitingly mysterious parcel arrives. It makes it easier for me not to have to fight temptation to open it as soon as it arrives. If it came too long before Christmas, I would have to open it. This way, I can control my temptation if it gets here before Christmas, and I can open it straight away if it doesn't. I can resist anything except temptation! |

18 Dec 03 - 11:09 AM (#1075447) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Goofy Hints 2003 From: GUEST,Peigín's Secretive Yule-Person Dear Peg, I'm so pleased you received the last parcel and enjoyed the contents...I remembered you liking Scandinavian music from a thread a year or two ago. Perhaps the postmark was not so helpful after all. So this is a person with a good memory... As these were just a couple of little things, a supplementary package is now winging its way across an expanse that you have correctly identified as the Atlantic. I wonder if the postmark on that will help? Probably not! I hope you like what's inside (I think you will) but apologise in advance if you have it already. If you do, as promised before, I will replace it with something else. The contents are from someone closer to my origins but not to where I live now! I enjoyed your review of LOTR ROTK and no, there weren't too many spoilers! I tend to think of myself as a bit of an Aragorn but look more like Gandalf! Well, not so much since I shaved my beard off... Hmmm! Another LOTR fan! Celtic/Sicilian sounds an interesting mix! I am "Celtic" too plus a little Spanish and, indeed, have performed a few times at the local Galician Centre. Must be a clue there! I've been to the States quite a few times and would say Boston is my favourite US city. I did spend a short time at Harvard and enjoyed it very much. Well, all the best for now and I wish you the very happy Yuletide and sucessful and rewarding New Year. |

Your package is now on it's way, but not on wings. You'll get it, eventually. Not by the big day, though. |

Here we are several days away from the actual day, and you still are mopin'..... as if any right minded male, elf or otherwise, could resist the likes of yourself!! Do you really think that this auld man, knowin' full well that the sacred rites will be upon us soon, would risk havin' ye give him the old cold one????? If you will just be patient, m'love, the gifts should be arrivin' just about perfectly on time. The rest o' these gits, what with their deliverin' so far in advance of the day, just don't get it.
