The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

#VBS



This will almost certainly be in my yet to be announced LIF.

 

I think this is on tap near where I work (Carton's stuff makes it there on draught but no in bottles) ; I'm hoping to try it later this week

 

FTFY

 

So beautiful...

 

Best of the best.

 

Is it too late to join Round 4 6'er? @UcDru

 

I haven't got a target, so probably not

 

Nope you are in send me a BM!

 

Exactly what I was waiting for. I am in!

 

Wow.

Malt Bomb...


Not a Malt Bomb! (THANKS @wheelzntoys )

NBO - Sixterhood trip #9

If you would like to be in consideration to be the recipient of a 6-shipper box filled with great stuff, please BM me your shipping address and your best guess as to (on average) how many high-school essays I grade annually. Bonus points for guessing the percentage of essays graded while drinking delicious beer. If you would prefer to skip this trip and sign up for a future trip, don't send me your address and wait for the next person to post their NBO to sign up.

Signup period ends at noon Sunday December 7, 2014. At that time I will randomly select the recipient and start posting hints as to who it is. Box will be shipped as soon as I get it ready!

Trip #1 - Maryland --> Texas (complete)
Trip #2 - Texas --> Illinois (complete)
Trip #3 - Illinois --> Colorado (complete)
Trip #4 - Colorado --> Texas (complete)
Trip #5 - Texas --> Ohio (complete)
Trip #6 - Ohio --> Florida (complete)
Trip #7 - Florida --> California (complete)
Trip #8 - California --> Illinois (complete)
Trip #9 - Illinois--> ???

See official rules below....


----------------------------------------------
How Sixterhood works:

1) The current holder of the Sixterhood box will make a post in the Locals BIF thread saying that the signup period for the next Trip is open and will be open for 2 or 3 days. Anyone that would like to be a potential target for the box would send their address information in a BM to the current holder of the box. To be eligible the person must have:
a) participated in Locals BIF rounds 1, 2 (summer 6'er), OR 3 (current round)
b) have not already received the Sixterhood box.

2) After the signup period is over, the current holder will randomly pick the next lucky recipient of the Sixterhood box. They will not announce this person nor the number of people that signed up, but instead will start posting hints as to where the box is going (BIF style hints). If no one signs up to be the next recipient then, as the original founder, heystevec will be the final recipient (hopefully without him knowing that it is coming to him).

3) The holder of the Sixterhood box will fill the box with high quality local bottles or wants and ship it to the target. Make it a kickass box, but with this group of people I know we won't have to worry about that. Also, add the targets name to the tracking board in the box and add any 'decorations' that you wish to help commemorate the box's visit to your state.

4) Once the box is received by the target, they will post the pr0n for all to enjoy.

5) Start over at #1

You do not have to enter every signup period. You can pick and choose when you want to be in consideration to be the next recipient. This would be nice if the current holder of the box is from your own state or an adjoining state or if you are going to be out of town for a while or whatever. Jump in and out as you please.

 

Every high school essay should be graded while drinking a beer or two. Cheers to Matt for doing what you do!

 

Maybe he didn't want to risk getting a Winter Shelf Turd Sixer....

I kid, I kid...

 

I try to keep it to one or two...

Although, my students tend to sense when the grading and the comments are a bit more "benevolent" than usual--fortunately they attribute it to their brilliance...

If only they knew.

 

VBS with some MNF and some 'Frozen' lol...

 

Cheers!

 

Moving along... #VBS #winning

 

Finally almost done with this guy. I've got the tolerance of a 16 year old girl, so it takes me a while.

Seriously though, 2014 just keeps blowing me away.

 

While I was underwhelmed by 2014 BCBS, BCBBW and Coffee are better this year in my opinion. Such a great beer.
