The Straight Dope Secret Santa 2004 Exchange! New, with Improvements!

This is odd.

I think the spamblockers are blocking the hotmail address.

I will reemail now as I think we are having an ice storm and with my luck, I will lose power /cable and then where will my dopers be without their addresses.

I have resent the above three from my gmail account. For anyone else that I have to resend, it will be from jfarndt@gmail.com

melondeca your email came back unable to deliver. Please send me an email at the above gmail address.

If no one hears from me for a while it is because of Mother Nature.

I must have a dyslexic one…or something worse.
I got a Secret Satan :smiley:

Got mine too! I’m so excited and lucky to be the recipient of this Doper. I can’t wait to torture, uh, I mean, shower them with gifts. Off to plan my evil attack. Oops! That should read; “my expression of admiration and general wish for their health, happiness and plentiful bounty.” Yup, that’s it. :smiley:

I hope to be sending my present this weekend. Just so long as I can make all the ticking stop. And get the blasted thing to be still.

Ahahahaha.

I got email!! Oh and an excuse to go shopping!! Woo Hoo! (Now if I can just buy for my secret santa and not buy for me… Just Kidding!)

Yay for Shirley for organizing this monster!

Hi…I never got an e-mail saying who my Secret Santa recipient was? And I signed up way back on the first page.

I’ve been away for couple of days.

You have but to ask m’lady.

[In tune]Hmmmmmmm[/In tune]

To the tune of Tubthumping:

What’s that you say?

You want something a wee bit more seasonal?

But of course.

<clears throat>

To the tune of O, Christmas Tree:

Thanks for all of your hard work. We love you. :slight_smile:

Scratch this! I found it in my “bulk mail” box! Darn it!

Thanks a million, Shirley. Let’s see, find something for my receipient (goes off snickering evilly).

<sigh>
My kinda gal. :wink:

Yay, I got my Secret Doper Name!

Now I hope my person posts in this thread with some gift ideas, otherwise s/he’s getting something I want to send. Bwahahahaha.

Evil Ash You obvious are avoiding work and we applaud & encourage this kind of tomfoolery.
I am bumping this up again for those sitting at their desks in a Monday Morning Stupor… The ice storm has been downgraded to No Big Deal. Feh.

Now that I know what entails these exchanges, it isn’t so bad. It was like a puzzle…I suck a puzzles. I felt almost important and it was like I had a job or something.

Rhavenous Lady did you get my email from gmail? I could send it by snail mail or by garbage pail. …I’ll stop now.

Yoooo Hooooo!

I got my name ! YAYAYYAY

Thank you Shirley! Now I gotta do some diggin to see if my person has been naughty or nice.

Holy mackerel. There’s obviously a webcam pointed straight at me. waves

Stop picking your nose…

:smiley:

Shirley, I never got an email!
