(un)Official Secret Santa 2015

[shaintiques]

email sent. I primarilty like flakes and english crossovers, but am open to try new things so go for it.

 

[rhoadsie]

Okay, I'm in. Not a fan of aros, but would prefer flakes/crumble cakes, especially those blended in the UK and presented in rectangular tins with names that start with the letter 'P'.

One addendum I should add to the FAQ above...
Question - Hey Pat! In the last two Secret Santa events the person I was Secret Santa for ended up also being MY Secret Santa. Was this planned? Will this be the same this year?

Answer - Not likely.

Question:

1) HAVE AT LEAST 75 legit posts by November 1, 2015, or be vouched for by a member who has at least 75 posts. No exceptions.
How do I know? Posts = threads started or posts to other threads? I don't have near 75 of either, but don't know how to track.

 

[pruss]

Hey, Lee.
We're talking about posts, which are your comments to/in threads.
Look left, under your avatar, you'll see the number there.
"Legit" is purely arbitrary but is meant to suggest, relevant and topical posts versus posts that are simply meant to pad post counts.
Welcome aboard, I hope you participate on the forums more and make the cutoff for the Secret Santa.

Pat,

Well, if it'd been a snake!…. I see it now. Thanks. I hope to make the cut. This looks like fun!

Count me in, I would prefer plugs and cakes but I'm not fussy.

 

[crusader]

Count me in!

Had a ball with this last year so back in for this round as well. Have an allergy to PG so aros are a no-go for me and not much of a latikia fan these days, anything else goes. Like Virginias, Burleys, VaBurs, and VaPers though I prefer the Per at the condimental level.

 

[jeepnewbie]

Ok, I'm in again this year. Last year was a blast. Willing to try anything but no Aros please.

 

[crusader]

I guess I didn't state requests. I'm open to anything, I would really like to try condor, St. Bruno or other hard to gets. I also like to try orienell forward blends.

 

[keith929]

Last year was great. Count me in again.
Please no aros.

WARNING!!!!
Make sure you don't get Pruss as your Santa.

[pruss]

So, Peck, you're in.. Right?
-- Pat

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Indeed. I am in.
Not a huge Aro fan but would be willing to try one in the right circumstances.
And, God forbid, no semois, Mixture 79, or any blend that has the word "cherry" in the name.

Greetings and Salutations.

Repetitive. Just sayin'.

Since when must my rhetoric bear the burden of economy?

It need not. I enjoy your loquacious jibe, now and then. It's a bit like Indian food, in that respect. I enjoy it in the moment but I pay for it later.

Aw... That's about the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
Makes me regret the theme I've chosen for your Christmas present this year.
Almost.

Could it be that Santa is a tad grumpy these days?
