that one worked
and please tell me you’ve played Santa yourself? you HAVE to have done so!
I hate to say “no” with a qualifier. Around Christmas time, when Ms.Nic and I go to the stores, we both wear the red and white Santa-type hat and I’ll wear something red, a plaid or something. Since she is about 4’11’’, it really works.
This will usually stop the kiddies dead in their tracks in the toy section, or most anywhere really.
We were at a store and I was passing through the toy area to get somewhere else and my mind was on other things in my search. While looking down an asile, a little girl, maybe 2, stops, jaw slack, eyes big, and after a moment says
“Ho Ho?”.
Oh, it just about made me mist up. I put my finger to my lips, looked left and right, and “shhhh… it’s a secret”.
Others come up in a resturant or something ad ask, in a very quiet tone “What’s your name?” Hopeing for “Santa”, the look a bit disappointed at first when I say “Nic”, but after a second or two, the light comes on “Oooooh… St. Nick”.
Very cute. And always fun.
The Santa Pic was the idea of the people at the Mall. They wanted to put it up on the display were people are coming into the picture taking area.
Just some random shots, the glasses are now smaller and the hair changes with the seasons.
Be kind :o
A photo from last summer with Nick. Three weeks ago I had to have him euthanized at age 23. He’d injured his spinal cord in a pasture accident and couldn’t be healed.
Hm…so, are you like, 8 feet tall or just playing a child’s guitar?
That is one really cute kid. I like the trick where he hides one of his legs.
It’s so I can see predators approaching from both sides.
Let the record show that I never, officially, did this.
Maybe by posting my picture with those of all the pretty people, it’ll help make me a prettier people!
(crappy self-taken pic from a month ago. My hair is, um, a month longer now 
)
It’s my cathat! (Actually, it’s a little beanie baby cat. Since I don’t have kitty ears.)
Heh. I’m sure my nose is smaller than you thought, too.
Hey, for once I get around to posting before the thread’s nearly dead! What a concept!
one: Lousy picture of me, cool location.
two: Lucky self-portrait, with cat.
Ahh! I give up on trying to flirt with everyone.
swampy, your picture is broken. (What? You knew I’d look at it.)
Eh, why not. I used to have a profile somewhere with some more pics, but I lost the link: This picture is a year or two old, but I look exactly the same. No change in weight, hair is same color, and everything.
I’ve not yet posted a picture on the Dope, but here ya go:
Good lord, yes. At one point I had about 10 “reply” thread tabs open so I could type out the standard “how you doin’” template, but gave up due to overwhelming volume.
Just assume for now, that if you’re female and you’ve posted in this thread, that I would have wild, hot, sweaty, pulsating monkey sex with you in a heartbeat. Unless you hit me with a cattleprod to stop me first.
You have my deepest sympathy on your loss. Horses are such wonderful critters , and Nick was lovely. I snuck a peek at the whole album and enjoyed all the pics.

This is moi. Love me? Hate me? Whatever.
I was being weird that day…it was midnight and I had downed a can of Diet Coke in two minutes.
Wow, you look very incredibly like the guy who lives across the hall from me. You don’t go to Wabash, do you?
Sorry, I meant to quote **Epimetheus ** when I did that. :smack:
