wifey just texted me a picture of her in a boutique trying on a new dress. 

"Does this make me look fat?" she typed. 

I replied, "Noo!"

She received, "Moo!" 

I hate spellcheckers.

 

Help me, Santas! 

Seriously, did you call him a cow ??? :shakehead:
You are a dead man Adam   :DOH:.:default_rofl:

 

You are going to have to put yourself thoroughly to obtain their forgiveness. :zen:

Still 23 so far? I think we can top last year at 51.

I think I got that wrong and it was 52. 

 

Anyway, it's been a slow day. 

Too slow. 

I need to spark some interest. 

I'll alert some of last year's Santas and see what they're up to at the moment. 

@TOM BUCKLEY @MeisTravis  @I_gotta_rock @sixgill pete @JamieLynn @Praefectus @BellamyBlake @connorp @Malcolmt @Ptychodus04 

 

That's ten, roughly in the order they signed up last year.  

I don't want to be swamped (haha), so I'll alert some more tomorrow if this still isn't ticking over.

I am really busy this time of year, preparing for my seasonal, part-time job. So many miscreants to correct; so little time. However, I have so much enjoyed the Forum's SS program in the past I cannot resist. It even makes me feel a little less Grinchy. Why, there's even a small chance I will send my assigned recipient something other than a stocking filled with sticks and pine cones (modern, not fossil). Such a prize awaited me one long ago Christmas morning of my youth. US only please. I would rather put value into the content, as opposed to postage.

Welcome. 

I like to invite a Grinch or two for breakfast.

@Tidgy's Dad Thanks for the heads up Adam. I haven't spent much time on the forum outside the preparation thread in a while, so I missed the post about this year's SS exchange. I'm in for international swapping again this year.

Good mornynooning, Super Santas! 

We're happily ticking slowly along here. 

We now have twenty-seven players. 

 

But come on everyone else, have a rummage through your drawers, see what's in there and join in the festivities! 

 

I want more!

It comes around so quickly! 

Guess you'll be busy organizing the Christmas auction before too long? Look forward to that.  

Please send me a quick PM so we can exchange information when needed. 

Thanks for playing again this year. :fistbump:

In the tradition of this thread Christmas mascot monkeys. This King Kong was in my home town when I was a kid. I made a 8 ft pint of it hanging down our stairwell. Just ask if you’re like to see more. Don’t forget ape and monkey pictures welcome.
