Halle Berry's pet Octopus: NBS BIF 8

We do grow a lot of corn here in MN, and we also do produce maple syrup.

 

Oh no, not corn syrup!

 

Yeah, kinda targeted you with that one....Was going to put something about place ratings....

 

Its all those dang high fructose farms messing up the country side. Really rustles my jimmies.

 

All good. At least I know. Up to 22 I have excluded. Now I'm down to 1 person who I think it is, but I'd like a few more hints, just to make sure. There's 2 others in the running also, but not sure yet.

 

I'm beginning to wonder if my sender is even posting in the thread yet....

 

I've got 25 on my included/excluded lists. I think there's 33, or so total, so there's a few that haven't posted yet, or I missed their posts.

 

Hint 1: your state/province has a power 5 football team, or the Redmen.
Hint 2: your state/ province was formally established as such before mine was.
Hint 3:
Hint 4: I have logged more trades on BA, you have more... everything else.
Hint 5:

 

You have picked up on more hints than I have! User-specific exclusions, rather than geographic? I'm down to 15 potentials (19 are out).

 

Has anyone officially called anyone out yet?

 

Correct. 22 excluded, 3 potential.

 

@Roguer oficially called and then promptly UNcalled me out.

 

Oh jeez! Wait until my wife hears about the homework that my beer friends made me do....
But seriously, that was fun.

 

Looking over my list. Still have 22 potential.

 

I seriously haven’t got a clue as to mine.....

 

Everyone east is “shipping west”
Everyone out west is “shipping east”

Not too many good directional clues for us central peeps

 

What is standard operating procedure here for when you think you have yours figured out?

 

I did enjoy the post that mentioned they were shipping left though.....

 

Tag and call them out! Be prepared for friendly hazing if you're wrong.

 

You promptly and officially call them out.

And then become confused when you’re wrong!
