    @beertunes did you ever post a full list of participants? I saw a few posts calling past participants but not sure if we have a list of who's in this.

    It still fits the hint, unless this is your way of saying I'm definitely not his target. And why would you rob me of the delusion, even if it only lasts minutes, that one of @SammyJaxxxx's fabled Daisy Cutters (the weapon, not the beer) is hurtling toward my porch? A man's gotta dream...

    I concur, plus there's at least a couple that have only done one or two and they've been quite vague.

    Between the earlier possible Russell Wilson reference and now what might be a sly nod to my first name, you're definitely on my short list. However, I think I'd be closer to 2000 miles from you than the 1000 you mentioned, so not ready to cast aside all doubt.

    Hint #1: Im going east
    Hint #2: My target has been a very active in here
    Hint #3: You will be recieving a vintage 2008 of one of your Permawants
    Hint #4: After much research I have discovered my target collects glassware

    Hint #5: You have been on BA longer than I have
    Hint #6: You will be getting two of what you called a "permawant" among other things, but one is of the bomber variety see hint 3. The other is a 12oz bottle, most likely a 6pk of it.

    Time for a recap of my hints:

    Starting from a deliberately vague and obtuse standpoint, I can confirm my target resides on Earth and would seem to work there too.

    In beer hint news, the state my target is in is older than the state I live in.

    In light of earlier hockey talk, my newest hint is that someone who played in the NHL in my target's state once played for the minor league team in my hometown. That player is not a Canadian

    My target lives in a state that is well to the east of me, but well to the west of others.

    The USN does not currently have (but in the past has had) a warship in service named for my target’s state (per wikipedia, anyway).

    NEW HINT

    A longtime item (perhaps a toy, game, article of clothing, something to sleep with) popular with children is named for a famous person from my target's state.

    Presuming this is a dig at my mileage deduction, I suppose you could be living on the western edge of WI (I see you've cunningly left no place reviews that might indicate your home town), which would make it closer to 1,000, though I'm still inclined to think it would be plus a few hundred at least.

    If something else, well, I guess I'll need a couple more hints. Actually, I need a beer. Something hoppy from Fremont should do the trick.

    That is a marmot, the unofficial mascot of my city (they're everywhere, and can be surprisingly destructive).

    The actual image was swiped from the webpage of a local independent weekly that was advertising a benefit concert being played in town that was called Marmotfest, Marmotstock or Marmotolooza (I forget which).
