SWTFYW Hints and Hauls!!!

I just can't say no.... do I have a problem? Steve_Oldrati, Sept 5, 2013

---- I don't think that I'm the best judge of that. Maybe we can turn this into a BIF support group. Zekeman17, Sept 5, 2013

I'd be down as one of the "mid to late" recipients if it goes on and on. I'm dumping 65k into a new business so I'm just a wee bit short on funds. TheBeerAlmanac, Sept 5, 2013

--- whats the new business? are you partners with fremontbar? Houser

--- I wish, maybe after this one. It's in my current industry which is actually firearms. Coupled with my affinity for beer and cigars and I'm a nightmare for the ATF. TheBeerAlmanac

Is it bad that I am currently participating in 4 BIFs? Smoncie, Sept 6, 2013

BIF within a BIF within a box. It's like the turducken of BIFs. Haywire, Sept 6, 2013

Since babies were/are a common theme of this BIF... Thought I'd let all you fine gentlemen know that my wife is pregnant with our second child. Pretty damn excited! MSEGUIN, Sept 10, 2013

Since this has become the baby making thread, I just found out the sex of mine. And I'll have a newborn likely before this BIForever is over. TheBeerAlmanac, Sept 10, 2012 (dear baby-you have a vagina video).

I wonder if any of your 12 will make the full circuit and come back to you in a year and a half?

"Styrofoam shipper aged stout---stout aged for 18 months while traveling over 60,000 miles in the back of various FedEx/UPS trucks" Zekeman17, Sept 13, 2103

---Your mileage got me thinking. It'd be cool to track the total miles covered for the BIF. Perhaps we take estimates now and closest person wins a bottle of something or other. Haywire

---LIF within a BIF within a BIF? Jdhowe

Did I miss a LIF in this B[BiF]iF??!! I'm going to need to tell work I need less responsibility so I can concentrate on this thread. Phisbfm, Sept 16, 2013

bifs really do detrack from my production at work. Houser, Sept 19,2013

---Reverse that---work really detracts from my participation in BIFs. Zekeman17

To make things a bit more fun, help keep track of mileage for the LIF, and see what beers and swag get switched out per location, here's a map with beers sent at each stop. I'll continue to update it as each target is revealed. Haywire, Sept 20, 2013

I vote Sweet Baby Jesus. Something about Peanut Butter Chocolate Bacon Cheddar Bread makes me want to slather it on my chest and shave with it. TheBeerAlmanac, Sept 21, 2013

It is starting to get confusing--opportunities to win beer at no risk, opportunities to win beer with the risk of having to send beer, the opportunity for a 12 bottle shipper to show up unannounced...

I'm thinking about letting my secretary handle my beer agenda as well as her normal duties--she is much more organized than me and she doesn't drink, so no risk of embeerzlement. Zekeman17, Sept 23, 2013

I have no idea what is going on in this thread anymore!!! Cuzco, Sept 27, 2013

Hint 2: targets state is on the shores of one of the Great Lakes. Which one? I'll never tell. (I'll probably tell). MSEGUIN, Oct 2, 2013

---Well hello there Lake Michigan! Thanks for keeping my hopes alive. I really hope for your sake that you are the lake that MSEGUIN is talking about. If not, I may start hating you. I'll start hating you. Roger85

---I've found I save a lot of time by being full of hate all the time! BorisKarloff

---Do you hate inanimate objects like lakes? Because I feel like if I start hating Lake Michigan that ill have crossed some kind of line and I won't be able to go back. Roger85

---You've obviously never met Lake Michigan...TheBeerAlmanac

Awkward Ihave been following this epic bif but thought you posted this on the boo Halloween thread. Dicers, Oct 3,2013 (The lurker is outed)

Alright, the weekend's almost here, time for a glassware LIF for you bunch of goons, considering you all seem to like that kind of stuff. I'm giving away an 8 oz Voodoo Barrel Room Collection tit....er, I mean snifter to the first person who can correctly guess my favourite band. Hints will come as guesses are made. And..... GO! Steve_Oldrati, Oct 3, 2013

---I've lost track, is this now a GIF within a LIF within a BIF? With a bunch of trades thrown in? Zekeman17

---A Perfect Circle UtisTheLaw

Looks like Black Hole Beer Company just launched their Kickstarter. Jas45678, Oct 4, 2013

Congrats on you Beer it Forward record breaking 3141st reply to this thread making it the number 1 replied to thread in the BIF section. IPAFan521, Oct 4, 2013

Who has two thumbs and just got married? This guy! RedBeeron, Oct 6, 2013

Hey now, I'm FROM the Philly area too. I get back out there a few times a year. I'll be home from December 15th thru January 3rd if any of you guys want to try to meet up and share some beers. I have some Voodoo beers I need to share. Steve_Oldrati, Oct 8, 2013

---If we are doing a Philly area meet and drink I'll be home from December 31st to January 4th. The best part is I'm driving to PA in a truck. I can fit all the Florida beers you want in the back. ThreeFishes

---This PA thing is sounding better and better. Philly area meet-up sounds like a pretty legit idea. I'll pack a checked bag full of CA goodies to-order if this is happening. Jdhowe

---I'm only about 1.5 hours away from Philly so I might be down for the drive. Haywire

---im totally down for this. although ive never met him, im sure zekeman would be down for it too. come to think of it, hophead lives in philly (although im not sure if he is still in this bif). Houser

---Up, down, whatever, I'm in. Zekeman17

---I'm only 7 hours away from Philly! BorisKarloff

---I'm 3 hours away and have driven to Philly a million times. Depending on date, count me in. Sandman

---I am moving to Harrisburg in about 9 months, might be able to make a "house Hunting" trip that weekend. MMBrew

---Next thing we'll hear from BlackCloud--he's coming in via dogsled. Zekeman17

So not beer related but I would like to give an update! Also, feel free to add me back into the "Ship Anytime" on the master list. Baby Colette! Born 10/8/2013 @6:39pm. Weighs 8lbs 4oz. 20.5 inches long. IPAFan521, Oct 12, 2013 (baby picture)

--- Congratulations!! So 3 babies, with at least two more on the way, a wedding (or 2?) and opening of a brewery. All I've done this whole time was drink beer. Zekeman17

 

There are highlights and landmarks as well as some of my personal fovorites, I only made it to about page 90.
The first use of "tits"
The introduction of Dicers as our resident lurker
The first BIF within the BIF
The formulation of the concept of the bottle share
And I didn't even get up to "stuff and things"

Stuff and things.

 

Maybe we can start a Wikipedia page...

 

Ok, so Wikipedia has a bunch of crazy criteria on what they will let a page be created for, so I opted to start on OpenWiki instead. Feel free to edit: http://www.openwiki.com/ow.asp?SWTFYW

 

I bought a house too...

 

FTFY

 

That's fine. I do have a man cave, but overflow would have to be into the garage.

 

And if Nate doesn't come to that, then he's a real dick!

 

Then let's not do it in January next time.
I was just joking, not putting you on the spot, but if there is a round II, let's aim for nicer weather.
If the ice that came Saturday night had been Friday night, or if the snowstorm from earlier in the week had been a couple of days later, it would have made travel difficult/dangerous and I'm sure at least a few people wouldn't have been able to make it.

 

I'd be fine with having it sometime when the weather is nicer.

I will blatantly state that I will not be as good as a host, both due to space restrictions and laziness, but I feel like I could certainly pull it off well...

 

It really just came down to the beer you all brought, all the other stuff was extra.
Beer, something to eat and a pot to piss in and I'm sure we're all good.

 

Well, that's pretty much what you all would get.

I could see it turning out pretty well though.

 

@Houser liked this, that's ironic.

 

I bought a house as well....in fact, I'm moving in next week! So if you have aspirations of sending me beer and/or we have a trade in the works, make sure I give you the new address!

 

Congrats! Good luck on the move! It's a killer!

 

Congrats--if you were closer, I'd hook you up with moving supplies.
Remember, dishes and china etc. can be thrown in any box no problem, but beer needs to be carefully packed.

 

There's a dude that looks like Houser's av here in our conference room trying to sell us a new copier lease. Hilarity ensues???

 

Same fashion sense?

 

Similar.
