The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

VBS courtesy of @PG2G! I have no clue what an olallieberry is, but it seems like it's a slightly funky raspberry.


Also, a really awesome color!

 

So, my "ugly sweater" contribution.

So, one day in fall of 2012, I went with three really good friends to a cornfield maze. It was myself and two other guys, and one of their now fiances. The three of us are pretty competitive at trivial things, and we were NOT leaving that corn field maze without finding EVERYTHING we could fill into the guide book. Well, the very first section (of four) of the maze was incredibly tough, and we were in it for almost two and a half hours somehow trying to find one last item (for reference the rest of the maze probably took an hour and a half to two hours for the REST of it all together). At one point, the now fiance wanted to snap a photo of the three of us. We were obviously very salty at this point in time, getting irritated with the search. The photo became captioned "I asked them to smile..." (I'm in the middle)


Fast forward a month or two, and a friend of mine decided to do something silly on facebook, saying he would recreate for closer friends their profile picture in mspaint, and to ask him if you wanted it done, with the rule that you had to make it your profile picture for at least a month. I obviously entered, and for a month, my friends were greeted by the following photo, a recreation of me in the previous photo:


So at this point, I thought it was over. However, the guy on the left in the first photo was super generous and wanted to get christmas gifts for some of his friends, and surprised me with one of the best gifts that I almost never wear because it's just too absurd, but usually wear at gaming/other nerd conventions when I attend them (along with other gag clothing, and sorry it looks like shit because I haven't worn it in like a year and it's just been hanging over the arm of my desk chair) :

That is my "ugly sweater" (or ugly hoodie) LIF contribution/story. A true christmas miracle.

 

That... is all kinds of awesome!

 

LIF over.

 

Yeah but it's DIPA vs IPA so not a fair fight.

 

I know the bar has been set pretty high but here is my ugly Christmas sweater LIF contribution;

This is my first ugly Christmas sweater ever and I received it during my first BIF on this site last year. When I first wore it my little boy cried uncontrollably for quite a while

 

Love those TX brews...

 

You should get bonus points for yet another sideways pic

 

Alright, I need help then. I usually upload my pics from my phone onto tinypic and then paste the link on BA. On my phone, the pictures always look fine and not sideways I don't use my PC much but saw what you said that on it it showed sideways.
Anybody knows what I could do to stop this?

 

Best LIF ever. Hands down. And we're just getting started!

No the bonus points are for making his kid cry.

 

Try turning your phone sideways the next time you take a picture. It sounds stupid, but I think it will help.

 

More VBS, first my homebrew Russian Imperial Stout aged on vanilla and bourbon (I'm hoping some further bottle conditioning will help it out, I'm not thrilled so far)


Then Day 7 of Hanukkah holds Kuhnhenn 2 Year Barrel Aged American Imperial Stout, which really needs to open up with some warmth but is already pretty tasty.

 

Where are all the other magnificent Christmas sweaters?

 

I don't have any pics of them =(

 

I'm still trying to locate a decent picture.

 

Thanks for the chance Russ!

 

This is all kinds of awesome!!!

 

Maybe you missed the part where it was suppose to be a pic of yourself?? Submitting pics of your wife is not allowed!

 

Well how do you know it's not me? I don't believe I've met anyone here in person.

 

I don't own an ugly Christmas sweater.
