    I cannot, out of principle, participate in an event that might lead me to cheer against my own team. So here's the scoop, I'm going to play reverse wise. I'll pick a few games that I feel pretty confident (or persnickety (ahem, week 6). If the colts lose against the spread those weeks, I'll also send a box out. If not, I'll post snarky comments about the Pats being longtime cheaters and dome some Casey to celebrate.

    Also, I'm back early from hunting, which means 2 things. Some 'early' pr0n on a box from a certain someone (and damn son...) Pictures soon! And I can get my targets box out soon. I feel bad for your porch my friend. Good thing I hear you might enjoy an Apricot Fruitstand as you rebuild.

    Haven't been too active on here since I've been travelling, but good news to my target! After having the box shipped back to me with no growlers, the 2nd attempt, with a 2nd extra box, is out for delivery in the Sunshine State!

    Also, been in Munich, enjoying the beer here more than I thought I would. Never been huge into German lagers, but damn they are good from the source with a basket of pretzels.

    Hey FIB's, anything cool beer wise near O'Hare? Will be flying in on Monday October 12th, depending on what time I get in I will have some time to kill. Will be staying at the O'Hare Hilton, all day product training the 13th and flying out early that evening so my time is limited.

    My clues couldn't be more obvious - they quite literally spell out my target...
    Come on target - I need to ask you a question before I ship the box on Wed.

    Hint #1: I've been in a BM conversation with my target.
    Hint #2: Two words.
    Hint #3: Al Pacino
    Hint #4: Jack Nicholson
    Hint #5: Harvey Keitel
    Hint #6: Peter Stomare
    Hint #7: Gabriel Iglesias

    The best place in that area is the Hofbrauhaus which is pretty close. Their beers are alright, but the food is great. There is also a place near there called The Park Tavern which has some good things on tap. Those would be the closest best options. Too bad you didn't have more time to kill.

    So I guess someone convinced @rspauldi that the "Horizontalhood" was a game. Turns out, Russ plays to 'fukken' win.

    I mean, what the HELL?

    I go in expecting to try a brewery from Texas that maybe I've never heard of...really get a feel for what makes them fun and local. Then I pull out the first bottle and see a pair of crazy-ass clown eyes staring up at me. Good thing my wife and kid were out at MOPS when this happened, as it would've been somewhat awkward explaining my raging [beermuffs] erection.

    Holy harbinger of the apocalypse!

    a) Everything I've had from JK is phenomenal
    b) I've not a single one of these bottles
    c) Fen Tao? Is this some kind of joke? Shit man...now you're tempting me to bet AGAINST my Colts just so I can have the chance of another LIF from you. Well freaking done!



    Folks, it's going to be tough to come close to this, but I am willing to throw caution and good judgement to the wind in my attempt. Look for the next round of Horizontalhood signups sometime tonight after I finish packing up my target's round se7en box (do you know who you are yet???)

    Cheers and thanks again Russ!

    Well damn. I guess I should have done more research.

    What is your question, Seb?
