View Full Version : It's big and massive and STILL SECRET!! GRrrr
Boy am I getting the run around on this one. Went to Radio Shack in Timmins Square for a Mobile Phone scanner and other top secret bugging devices and monitored Tracy and Ren's every move http://www.shania-twain.org/messages/wink.gif
Heard they were lunching at Casey's so went there REAL early and bribed the staff to direct them to the table I bugged and sat at the Bar with my hidden earpeace and what did all this input give me?
Well all I heard was code words, Lock up everything when the "Bald Eagle" or the "Shadow" are at the Centre. "It's big and Massive - but we have them fooled as that is only on the inside" It is really quite small and no one needs to know right now!!!!
So my bugging earpiece (are you allowed to say that on the net?) yes my bugging earpiece gave me NOTHING but a headache and a $7.00 CA bar bill!
So next having thrown off my 'shadow' Chris AKA timmins4ever by telling him that Sir Paul of the Beatles was in town, I button holed this former News Editor for CBC TV and Radio, a Mr Len Gillis. Now he rekons that CBC Radio have the answer to the convention's secret, but I have to be interviewed live on some nationwide radio show or something before he will tell me.
Now I can't do all this on my own and NEED HELP, so any Shania Fan that can call me at Timmins Web and come help out before the convention just 6 days from now would be a real boost.
EVERYONE IN TIMMINS knows but me, sounds like a verse from a Doctor Hook song.... Grrr I will give them "Big and Massive" when I get the chance. I am now checking out all the local public phones just in case it is Doctor Who's TARDIS or something like that.
The only thing I see that is Big and Massive is my sore head from banging it against a brick wall at the Shania Twain Centre... Best put some Shania music on, that is good for my sole.
Tom, you are trying WAY too hard to find out what the secret is!
If you do find out, and I suspect you will, I don't think you should post it. It's fun to be kept wondering and part of the fun of the convention is finding out when we get there.
Roger
I'm so confused, is there some really big surprise that's going to be unveiled at the convention?
(If there is, I wonder if it could be that Shania's fibbed about not being able to attend. Imagine, wouldn't that be a big surprise! Hee. ;) )

It is probably Shania! ;)
They are making it sound like a MASSIVE BIG SECRET....nothing could be bigger the Shania attending!
although i think i might know the secret...they did say that "if Shania was to attend it wouldnt be kept as a secret and they would let people know" ....but they might just be twisting words around!
Shania isnt the one who is attending....it is EILLEEN!!! :shocked: :D
(I'm probably wrong but meh...)

Oh heck no, I would not tell anyone if I do stumble on the Secret, I just want to know what to wear at the 'event' whatever it is. Spent most of today at the Centre, but no one is talking - not to me anyway.

Hee hee....
Ren told me what it was a couple of weeks ago!
Something quite large...
<no dirty remarks please! ;-) >
I just didn't want to rub it in for too long, so I waited until now to say something.
hahahahahahahaha
Sorry, it's not Shania, cuz if it was I'd get there somehow and Ren knows that so he would have told me.
I think I know what it is........it came to me when I was in the bath!!! I don't wanna say here though in case I'm right.......it's fun to see people stessing over something fun!
Paul:)

Yes, intuitive types often have flashes of insight when the circulation to their brain is boosted from the warmth of a shower or bath. Ren did not tell me my guess was wrong. But I told him I didn't want to know for sure, either way. Don't want to be burdened with any more secrets. When the pile of secrets gets too big, some can slip out.
I think I know what it is........it came to me when I was in the bath!!!
Paul:)A rubber duck? :shocked: But that's not big and massive!! :p
Mebbe the big and huge massive thing has wheels under it, so it can be transferred from hiding place to hiding place when Tom gets too close to finding it out! :p

If you thought of this in the bath, does this mean the surprise is a huge, massive rubber ducky?? :D
Roger
:funny: What makes you think its a rubber duck? Could be a gigantic sponge or a huge bar of soap.......
BTW I checked my idea with them, they won't confirm or deny it..... ;) Maybe they're just not happy that I found out about the big rubber ducky!!!

So now at least we have Paul's Secret. :biglaugh:
Actually someone bought me "bath football" - a set of goals to go at the end of the bath with a sponge football and a soap football!!! But I'm saving it until I'm older.......when I grow out of the duck.
Paul:)
Good strategy! :D :p
Call me when you think it's time, maybe I'll still be in the duck phase :p :p
I might decide to keep the duck - maybe I'll train it to be a goalkeeper!!! I think it must be a trick to keep me clean......
Paul:)
Dang! But, maybe the duck will prove out to be a world class goalie! :D
I am being bounced around like a rubber duck, and taking a Bath on miss information and decoys, so to preserve my sanity, and allow the Shania Twain Centre some room to move this BIG and Massive secret, I am "outta there" until the Fan Convention.
Centre very busy over the past holiday weekend, met some really nice Shania Fans from all over North America and beyond. Something is going on though, Tracy turned up on the Holiday Monday afternoon, now why would she do that? Then she was gone, backstage doing something.....????
Going for a hair cut - Barber shops know EVERYTHING that moves in a small town like Timmins, so I will report back soon. Chris (CBspock) from the Boards will be in town Wed, so let the fun and games begin.
I am live on National CBC Talk Radio at 5:40pm today via cell phone. So the Big and Massive secret will no doubt not reveal it's self before then but the Fan Convention is going to get some of the best FREE national publicity the STC could ever wish for.

The whole of Timmins has been alerted just to keep you from finding out what it is, what a big operation just for you, you should be honoured :p :D

Well maybe when I am live on National CBC Radio this PM I can ask them and see if they know what is going on!!!!
If it's kept from you and us, I'd think it has been kept from national media also :p

Tom, FYI Ken (drumroll51), my wife Kay and I will also be in town as of tomorrow evening. So will John (Finnfreak) but he doesn't know when. We'll all be at Days Inn.
There is no nationally broadcast program on CBC radio between 5 and 6. Each city has its own driving home show. Maybe you are being taped for use on the World at 6 or As It Happens. I guess I'll have to listen tonight for sure! But I know you will do a great job!

OK then it is the Juli McDonald Show or something like that. Not sure of the first name but the last name was very Scottish and the presenter is female so guess that narrows down you search Sir. Yes as this is a cell phone interview I doubt in hindsight they would risk putting me on live in case the signal goes west or something.
Local media are gearing up for a feeding frenzy for sure and that will start in the Lobby of the Days Inn 9:30am on Thursday the 5th. I will be in a highly visible seat in Nikki's Sports Gallery - the Tavern next to the Lobby of the Days Inn on Wednsday 4th for the evening early birds to gather before going someplace to eat. The plan across on the Boards is that on the Thursday we all meet at the Days Inn at 9:30 and then the media will no doubt follow us around Timmins as the first time visitors take in all the Shania points of interest ending up no doubt at the Shania Twain Centre for the meet and greet and social. For those attending from this site my local cell phone number is (1-705) 465 2419 and I will be monitoring that all day and night from Wed 4th onwards in case anyone needs local help and assistance.
Yes it is not only the Sat Secret that is BIG and MASSIVE looks like this years Fan Convention is going to set a few attendence records all of it's own too. :D

Just be aware, that I think Tracy's plans include keeping all of you OUT of the exhibit area till Friday morning. I`m not positive but some last minute additions and touch-ups are still being made. It will look pristine!
Ren

Ken and I have talked about meeting at the Days Inn restaurant tomorrow evening. We'll look for you for sure at Nikki's, Tom.
Roger
Yes after the meet and greet at the STC I will be there for sure. I am treated as family there and if enough of us gang up on Jay behind the Bar we may even get him to play Shania for us after 10pm when the sports sound is turned off for music. :D
Got my hair cut today, I think I know what the big secret is!!! But I can't tell you or Ren will KILL ME! It is BIG and MASSIVE, but small and very special too!!!! ;)
You can find out anything by going to a hair saloon, man they have high grade gossip there!
So it's physically small, but MASSIVE in terms of what you'd describe it as? I can't think that a physically BIG thing could be described as small and special......arghhhhh!!!!! Help!!!
But Shania is definately not going? A Shania lookalike? A Shania waxwork? :shocked: A Shania statue? BTW all these are good ideas if it is one of them! Anyone in the know feel free to PM me!!! ;) ;) ;)
Paul:)
A few fans have suggested me what this might be, 3 of them have guessed the same or similar thing. We shall soon see if they were right. Nobody is posting their guesses so as to avoid guessing right, lol Better to keep the secret till the end! :p

What an honour - being made responsible for looking after Shania's clothing! :D
Well as you all know they kept the "Big and Massive" secret from me despite being in Timmins a clear two weeks before the Fan Convention.
They did this by using the Shania Twain Centre's secret weapon "Chris AKA 'timmins4ever'" who tracked me so close they were calling us Shrek and Donkey by the first day of Fan Con 04!
Having been unable to shack off Chris I found nothing but did get a second supprise when I won the special "nailed to the floor" award shown in the Fan Con 2004 thread. I can not post these twice so you will have to go there to view them.
Note the R for Ren carved into the base and the Tracy "surprise" signature... Grrrr
