Would it be possible?
My department does the "secret pal" thing. I had a note on my shop door this morning from mine. The note informed me that there's a BIG FAT steak in the lounge freezer with my name on it. I looked... it's true!

TT Secret Pals?
Could we pull it off?

Discuss it amoung youn's...

Hey Chief, behind the scenes, it's all good and it's all (supposed to be) secret!

The mantra is "What happens on the trail, stays on the trail"

Yeah, I know, the Montana thing got carried away and I promised myself I would stay out of it and opened my mouth anyway. Too many people were jumping to too many conclusions..but I still left a lot of it there.

Wouldn't that be great if your secret pal did your work so you could just sit around and cruise TT all day?

I think it would work if the exchange was "white elephant" gifts (straw collection anyone?).

I think Biz and bacpac could be secret pals. Bacpac could try to give her stuff and in return she could give him whatfor!

I already have a secret pal. She is with me all the time. I tell her all my secrets and she promises that my enemies will suffer horrible diseases and their body parts will start to fall off.

Wow pepperDog, I am suddenly very glad I've only said nice things to you on this forum. I'm putting a permanent note on my monitor now so that will always be the case. Please put in a nice word for me with your secret pal?

My secret friend feels a bit dissed by your last entry.

I am feeling fine, thanks for asking.

Well your secret friend has exquisite choice in friends and, I'm sure, is a wonderful person.

Phew, ... I think I escaped that dire fate!

when i am going
'round the bend
i got a wild
imaginary friend
when i am driven
up the wall
my old friend
he comes to call
mister whisper's
here again
mister whisper's
here again
he's back
in his apartment
in my head
he's back
in his apartment
like i said

just when life
can't get much worse
he tells me
reassuring things
says i'm the
center of the universe
says i'm as good as
presidents and kings

mister whisper's
here again
mister whisper's
here again
i think
i can control him
but instead
mister whisper
takes control
guides my heart
and rides my soul
the minute that
he steps
inside my head

just when i am
sure he'll stay
they shoot me
with a bolt or two
they try to drive
my mister friend
away
and damn it all
they nearly always do

mister whisper
don't go 'way
mister whisper
won't you stay
it get so lonely
wish
that i were dead
listen whisper
please don't go
listen whisper
don't you know
i'd rather
madness
than this sadness
in my head

the thought
he'll leave
bitterly burns
and my despondence
grows
as soon as lonely
lonely sanity
returns
and old mister
old mister whisper
goes.

Maple Leaf takes heavy duty drugs.

Wally Hickel had a little friend, used to be a secret then and he got on 60 minutes and told the world about him.

pepperDog's secret friend tells her that the prescribed drugs are unnecessary.

Biz is my secret Pal?

I don't think so. I would rather have Marvin sending me earth worms.
bacpac

Earthworms with little teeny-tiny tinfoil hats.
Geobeet

I think it would have to be a tin foil suit. They don't really have brains to protect, but nerve cords that run the length of the worm.

Great thread but I forget what it was all about. My grandson has a friend--his name is Nothing. Nothing does everything but eat. I get in trouble for sitting on Nothing or not leaving room for him.
