The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I guess I have to hope you're referencing Blendiculous, though I don't see you reference it previously Looks like you liked Blendiculous? OHB has an interesting history of brewing beers with specific stores in mind.

 

Update on my NSS(er), Delivery estimated for this Thursday.

Swag ready to box up and ship out.

Hint: GTL

 

Yeah, but he has 5000 by himself, so that counts for something.

 

I was just hinting that you deserved to be the 10000, what an honor.

 

Hmm damn, your last 3 hints had me thinking it was me, but this one I can't figure out, though with the little google searching I did, seems like it's not me

But if it somehow is... looks like I'm getting two boxes Thursday (as my LIF box is set to deliver then as well)!

 

Not sure if the damage was caused by cold weather or not but I have a box arriving tomorrow that I hope doesn't freeze. This winter hit real quick.

My not summer sixer, but winter sixer, in which we send approximately 6 beers (give or take a few) to other people that also like beer box should be going out on Wednesday.

Edit I also just did the math, and unless I did it wrong... I think I broke the oz limit just a little bit... not quite as heavily as @Dave_Treat did, but still broke it.

Edit 2 also sorry but swag and local treat not going out this round... this box is gonna be packed tight as it is! I'm still wondering how I'm going to fit two more beers in here... but at least I'll know the contents of this box AREN'T MOVING

 

Hmm... does that mean a new batch of JBM is coming?

 

OK -- I am finally getting around to posting an overdue LIF -- although I might end up waiting a week or two to ship it depending on a) weather and b) if I find out about anything exciting that will be unexpectedly available near me. The only requirement is that you have posted at least once in this thread before.

This is a football one -- involving next weekends NFL Divisional Playoffs. There are four games --

Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots
Carolina Panthers at Seattle Seahawks
Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers
Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos

Here are the rules:

1 - pick the winners and point differentials in each of the four games (ie Ravens by 7, Seahawks by 3, Cowboys by 14, Colts by 10)
2 - you MUST pick at least one upset (the four home teams are all favored)

The winner will be determined by:

1 - the number of winners picked correctly, if there is a tie we will move on to
2 - the lowest combined "distance" from the right answers ONLY FOR THOSE GAMES THEY PICKED CORRECTLY (so if the Ravens win by 6, the Seahawks lose, the Cowboys lose, and the Colts win by 3 the total would be 1 (Ravens distance) plus 7 (Colts distance) for a total of 8.) If that confuses anyone then then hopefully "the sum of the absolute value of the discrepancies between the BA's predicted point differential and the actual point differential for those games with a correctly chosen winner" hopefully clairifies things :-) Please note that different finalists may end up having their final score based on different games (since being tied for number correct does not require picking the exact same games correctly)

Entries will be accepted until 4:30 PM East Coast time on Saturday, January 10th. Winners will be announced Monday, January 12th unless I feel really ambitious and decide to do it Sunday night. Shipping might not be for a few weeks, depending on the aforementioned conditions.

 

ounce limit? nobody told me about an ounce limit. Even if they did, I think I have proven my math skills are a little odd...

 

Patriots by 10
Seahawks by 14
Cowboys by 3
Cots by 7

Yes, I'm picking the Seahawks over the Panthers, even though I'm from NC. I'm a Russell Wilson fan (Go Pack!) as much as I'm a Panthers fan, so its a tossup for me.

All guesses made almost at random as I only follow pro football inasmuch as I follow the Panthers (kind of), any Pack player (which granted is a decent number), and my fantasy football teams

Thanks for the LIF!

 

NE by 16
Carolina by 2
GB by 14
Denver by 10

 

Anyone know the referee crew for the Dallas game this week? If it is the same one from last week no way they lose....

 

Not summer sixer isn't going anywhere anytime soon as I am in the middle of a deep freeze.

Hint#3:

Your state is on a large body of water.

 

Ravens - 3
Seahawks- 5
GB- 7
Denver- 10

Thanks for the chance!

 

NE by 6
SEA by 10
GB by 4

Hard to say, many boxes arriving to me aren't handled with love. Ive had a few boxes break on their way to me, but this the 1st bottle Ive had broken going out. At least it was an extra and not a main bottle. Was there another extra bottle @Louis121 or just the mop water?
