Clap! 12-19-05 Monday - Post a Gift for your Secret Santa!




On the sixth day of the gift exchange
SantaWorm made me give
One gift to my Santa
FIVE kids for Pippa
Four large potatoes
Three squirrels in the attic
Two Taser Guns
and
An OB Angel for the gifting tree!


Santa Worm is resting today. I've started this thread so that all of you can deliver a present to your secret Santa. Guess who gave you the gifts, and give them a gift here. And after everyone posts their gifts and guesses, you'll all get to find out if you were right!
Happy Holidays to All!!

Re 12-19-05 Monday - Post a Gift for your Secret Santa!

Okay, I'll start. I'm fairly convinced that my Secret Santa is Eris.

So, to Eris I present the epitome of office supplies:



A Rubber Band Gatling Gun

From the selling copy:

Quote:
This baby has a fire rate of 560 rounds per minute, though you can fire off all 144 rounds in just 12 seconds if the mood befits you. Also, even when not firing, it makes an impression looking like the real thing, standing at an impressive 40 inches.

Firing rate or 560 rounds per minute
Holds 144 rounds with 12 bands per barrel
360 degree movement
Includes bag of 200 bands
Handmade
Limited edition
We take no responsibility whatsoever for the firer being fired for firing

And, with the expectation that you'll get plenty of use out of your new toy:




A case of spare ammo.



Enjoy.

I think my Secret Santa was Lynn. So I'm giving her:



An exclusive screening of the new Johnny Depp pirate movie, with him seated right next to her so they can go out for a post-movie dinner and discussion.

Re 12-19-05 Monday - Post a Gift for your Secret Santa!

That's funny because I think my Secret Santa was Lynn too. Hmmm. Since I can't top MJ's present even if she is, I will guess that mine was SoxFan.

She gets to keep Johnny Damon in Fenway and visit the clubhouse during the home opener to chat about their chances of beating the Hated Yankees in '06

And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Re 12-19-05 Monday - Post a Gift for your Secret Santa!

Argh. The board ate my first post! Let's try again!

I think my SS is Pippa. At first I thought it was Margo, but then on Friday I changed my mind. So, for dear Pippa!

First up!



A certified Attitude Adjuster. Guaranteed to work on husbands and sisters alike!

Next, something to keep G at HOME:



If you don't know what that is, here's a hint: He'll have something in common with Martha Stewart if you can get that on him!

And last, while G is stuck at home with all the kids, your choice from the following:

Day Spas local to you

Enjoy! And if I'm wrong about my SS, I apologize. You can still keep the skillet for cooking (it looks like a really nice one) and I'll transfer the spa day to one more local to you. And if you need the anklet, well, have at it!

Thank you to everyone who played!

Re 12-19-05 Monday - Post a Gift for your Secret Santa!

Because you are an evil worm.

I think my SS was MJ (hopefully since these gifts are just for her and I'll have to go shopping again if it isn't!)

First, a lifetime subscription to Childfree Magazine for more coping mechanisms in dealing with freaks like me.

Second,



a gift basket from your beloved Weggie's with all sort of products from home.

Thirdly,

some of the best sponge candy I've ever had, from Stever's, a local candy maker to DIE for...

and lastly, because of your ongoing car issues:



a pumpkin coach.

Re 12-19-05 Monday - Post a Gift for your Secret Santa!

I had my Secret Santa list chopped down to 3 people. I dropped Soxfan because she had my name last year.

I had to toss a coin between the other 2.

MJ won.

I think she spent far too much time in airports, so I found her alternate transportation:

Re 12-19-05 Monday - Post a Gift for your Secret Santa!

Well, I honestly have *no* clue who my Santa is. I believe that it's Melanie. Melanie, if it is you, please PM me (after Wormie declares the game over and that it's OK for us to reveal) and I have something I want to email you. It's an essay by CS Lewis called The Weight of Glory. (Heck, anyone who's interested in reading it, you can feel free to PM me with the email addy you'd like it sent to. It's not TOO big, 66K.

If Melanie *isn't* my Santa, then here's a gift for my real Santa...

Quite possibly the most bizarre, and yet, disturbingly logical combination ever seen on television.

Well, Eris, I'm not your SS this year. But I'd love the essay anyway! Check my profile (just click on my name) and there should be a link for emailing me.

We should hold off on telling till at least this evening when the after work crowd shows up.
I'll tell you that so far we have at least one correct guess!

No - but to help relieve your angst I'll tell you that your guess was not correct.

Now see, that's not fair because Pippa will get a second guess! (and I'll have to give back the goodies!)
