    In Baltimore proper.

    I haven't eliminated @Yohann but the Doors thing is a head scratcher, we have 2 daily newspapers, but one folded and went to online only, and their aren't THAT many hog farms around where I live!

    Sure, if you hadn't been keeping up with the other clues :slight_smile:

    Though to be half an hour from BWI and IAD, there'd be a -very- thin sliver of places to live. IAD/DCA would work better.

    That's true.. I forgot Baltimore was the capital of the US for about three months.

    A bomb was just dropped and is on its way to Hickory, NC. Should be there very, very, very soon!
    Also - i'll play the newbie card on this "Locals" thing... but when you can hit wants, why not?

    The whole point of a BIF is to slaughter a 'wants' list. I feel that the 'Locals' allows for a lot of ounceage to make it to folks and can make up for not being able (or having access) to a targets wants. Plus you are 100% going to get beers youve never had/never heard of before!

    Can't wait! I'll never complain about getting wants hit! The only Washington beer that I can remember having is Amnesia (heh), which is just barely in Washington (on the river that separates it from Oregon). Can't wait to try some!

    I've already told the building mailman to starting wearing a back brace to work. And that he may want to consider some extra insurance...

    The girl at FedEx was pulling one of my two sixer boxes off of the other (I had another trade go out today as well), and sort of dropped it on the scale because she didn't realize how heavy it was. I pointed to the 40 pound box and told her it was a good thing that she wasn't trying to lift that one first.

    It honestly feels like December 23rd right now! And it looks like a few other people are gonna have some pending home repairs in the very near future. I think we're over due for some more ****! Did anybody have boxes land today?

    Seems that @treznor's should be landing any minute now! Can't wait to be jealous over these awesome Washington brews.

    There was also the whole thing about the owner not letting them keep their tips; I've got no love for the chain, but I'd rather drink the beer they offer than the all macro all the time options elsewhere in the airport.

    Sixterhood box dropped off and the average ABV is 11.23%.

    ....and no one to pick up boxes since everyone I know will be at this wedding.

    That balances perfectly, since my master list doesn't have one for you at all

    Just sent my box out today. Hopefully my target likes it. It "should" make it this week.

    My FedEx tracking number is 7714 xxxx xxxx

    Where in order, the x's are:

    xx = crybaby who was drafted but wouldn't play/sign with the team that drafted him
    xx =sulfer and/or sweet
    x = recycle
    xx = I was a freshman in high school this year
    x = shit

    Not sure if these are easy or hard to figure out and I'm headed to work and won't be able to checkup until late tonight.
