The kill shot:

I had a hard time fitting it all into the frame.

Can we just agree now that Brian wins best box? This isn’t even all he sent me! Fuck you Fedex! Also Brian I owe you forever for this 100+ pounds of goodness. Yep. 100 pounds.

 

The plot thickens.....

 

That is fucking incredibly ridiculous!!!!!!!!!

 

That’s an insane amount of beer. And as much as it pains me to say it, that Wolverine is outstanding.

 

I'm probably most proud of the octopus t-shirt.

 

I’m fucking wearing that shirt all weekend.

 

Shit, both of your mystery beers were in the other box. Do you want to know what was stolen, or no? Unfortunately, I can't replace some of it.

Also, the piece of newspaper is good for a free beer or a free pregnancy test when you stop by Watermark next year.

 

Awesome stuff, that’s a great shirt!

 

Damn I knew it was happening, but seeing it all like that is just, WOW!! You are a true madman @FlintB, my hat is off to you sir!

 

Tough choice. The street value of the test is probably worth more.

 

Ugh, I am torn. I will let the rest of the BIF community decide.

 

Well, hell, you can go to the dollar section of my local grocery store for said test.

 

"It won't bring much cash, but its sentimental value is through the roof."

 

So I woke up this evening. I mean, eventually. It took a bit of coercion from my own damn self and a whole lot of little black dog licking my face at the first hint of my lids fluttering.
Once my awareness was as roused as it was going to be before coffee I excitedly checked my phone to see if I had an email from the building regarding a package (or two) scheduled to drop today. Sure enough there it is. Awesome.
Foregoing my usual pre-work routine of coffee first and always, then take the dog out last thing before leaving I quickly threw some scrubs and a tshirt on so as not to scare my neighbours and strode groggily over to the office, towards the sign that read:

Hours:
M-F 9-6
Saturday 9-5
Sunday 10-4

My alarm goes off at 1700 on the dot, so this would have been what... 1710?
Of course they decided to skip out an hour early on a Friday. I can see my boxes sitting in the office through the window, but I can't get to them.

Well at least it lowers the chance that I call in 'sick' at work tonight...

 

Holy shit @FlintB !

I began to feel bad for you yesterday.....until I saw this post.
I’m not sad now I’m glad you got crushed!

If you’ll excuse me I’m off to find another flat rate box.....

 

Holy shit. How many liters is that?

 

I know I’ve done this to you before so I will show the courtesy of using a different gif

 

I thought we were done with the math portion

 

Amazing work @Dragginballs76 - so well done! Generous, and in such good taste.

Aw dude. Brian, so sorry man. This is the worst. I've agonized about this with boxes so many times - I feel awful for you. Anything I can do to contribute or help?

Quite true. I didn't mention anything because Larry was incredibly generous - that anything was missing wasn't of the least bit of importance to me, and I sincerely doubt it had anything to do with how Larry packaged anything... it was a heroic, overwhelming amount of amazing beer. Larry knocked his boxes out of the park. It sucks that UPS fucked him over. It sucks even worse that Fedex stole Brian's whole box. Unbelievable. I'd be furious too.

Anyway, it's the strangest thing - it seems like UPS may have re-packaged one of Larry's boxes. Something evidently had broken, but the box wasn't at all damp, there was no broken glass, etc. My only clue was one sticky bottle, and a few glass splinters. Weirdest thing.

How dare you! I'm non-fiction AF.

Also - this is hilarious. I was on the phone with @FFFjunkie when I read this. He can tell you about my reaction. I was appalled and amazed, and then I laughed a lot.

Jeeeeeeeezus. Can someone crown @FlintB the BIF champ already? What the fuck, man. And this WASN'T everything?! Madness. And yes, that shirt is amazing - I'd never take it off.

Oh, nice glassware, too.

You're a gentleman, Brian. I can't believe the generosity on display. Well done.
