    even if we pooled our guesses, we would have still been under...nice defense and goaltending this weekend NHL..wonder if the GK's were writing their beer reviews on BA for their games...

    Almost 7 goals per game geez, looks like they’re getting defense tips from the NBA. Next time I’ll do a soccer LIF.

    Nice job @nc41 - nailed it! I’ll be in touch regarding the loot!

    Told you I knew nothing of Hockey, I foolishly thought good defense would be in the picture as that is what normally makes good teams great. C’est la vie, maybe we can team up on something else. Porch destroying seems like fun. Who should we target?

    Not sure how I want to pass this LIF on. This one is personal, he’s my uncle who’s gone now. Shouldn’t be too hard I think, actually it might be too easy but it can’t be googled. I’ve mentioned my Uncle in the past so it actually might be super easy. He had a taste for 12 yr old Glenlivet, and he was my inspiration. RIP Uncle Danny.

    My name is Danny
    I’m from Trenton NJ
    I’m 18 and I’m off to war I just don’t know it yet, it’s a secret
    I survived the war but I was badly wounded in combat here
    If it wasn’t for the fighting this place would be insignificant.
    It was a really a messy battle, lots of dead on both sides.
    It stinks.
    It’s hot.
    Man I could use some shade it’s so hot, but it’s war it’s always hot.
    It’s really loud, it’s been loud for many months.
    It never stops, day after day, it just never stops.
    I’m not a hero just a guy from NJ who's scared, I want to go home.
    Home is over 10,000 miles away.
    This fight helped win a war,
    Something famous happened here and I witnessed the event.

    Where am I and what did I see?


    Pretty simple, maybe at the start one guess and done. I don’t expect it to be too tough because I don’t intend it to be, as mentioned it’s not new to to this site. As always changes as needed if it gets weird. Some Red Oak Lagers to somewhere.

    Here's a haul hint that my target is going to be getting, unless they dislike BA sours.

    @Roguer Yes, I do have it...It got, ahem, misplaced for a spell. But it's back. It got put in a safe place during an office cleaning, and between a messy 3rd grade teacher and a positively compulsive cleaner of a Kdg teacher, it disappeared for a while. Thankfully, the wife loves me and even though she doesn't always remember where she puts some of my random tchotchkes (and let's face it, that cushion would be deemed a pretty random item for anybody outside of the hallowed virtual walls of the NBS BIF's) she doesn't throw them away. God, I love her patience with me. It's almost ready for flight.

    I saw @FBarber with Swish late last night, but didn't have the chance to reply. We just got The Substance here, which, IIRC, was my first BB brew back when they first started getting some hype. I wasn't super impressed, although it was very good.

    Then I tried Swish. Good lord, that is an impressive NE-style IPA!

    It really is ... Im pretty jaded on NE style IPAs at this point, but that one stood out even to this jaded drinker.

    We had 21 in #12, 17 in #12.5 (expected to be smaller for a mini-BIF). We had 22 in #11. We seem to have locked in at a pretty consistent number of participants, with regular participants switching in and out as their schedules and finances allow.
