NBS BIF #13: Peninsular Envy 2 (The Rocket-Ball Inception)

While I'm still thinking this could mean my BA name, the Tony Soprano hint definitely throws me. I'm reasonably certain I am not related to any fictional characters, and although I do somewhat resemble a fat actor, that actor is John Goodman, not James Gandolfini, at least according to others.

 

Is that an attempt to use a sledge hammer upon your target?

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist with the earlier Peter Gabriel talk.

 

Yes, I meant to post that.
I did not mean to imply you and your wife were about to give birth to something the size of a hamster!

 

So are the participants like Who's line is it Anyway, and the points (participants) don't matter?

 

Okay I'll take my daughters weight 11lbs 6 oz and 21 1/2"

 

I’m not sure I’m a player, so I fo shizzle can’t say what the total izzle.

 

Hint #10: In the spirit of referring to fictional characters in my hints, there's a fictional, pop-culture character from my (current) state who shares the same interest in that particular pop-culture genre that my target and I share. Not sure I could get any more meta if I tried . . .

 

Very exciting. Wishing you, your wife and the baby well.

20 inches. 8 pounds 1 ounce.

Man, that is heavier than my twins weighed together. They came in at just under 10lbs at about 5 weeks from term.

 

Speaking of Niagara Falls.... I met up with a friend on Sunday who had been collecting beers for me from all the breweries not shipping orders. He threw in some cans from the anniversary release of a newish brewery in Niagara Falls (2nd anniversary). The hazelnut mocha imperial milk stout I’m drinking right now is surprisingly good. The other can will be in a box bound for the US.

Also, I am not sending a box to a participant living in a state that touches this lake’s waters, a lake I visited this afternoon with the kids.

 

Wait, @beerloserLI is a ghost now, too??!?

 

I love the looking at a shore of a beautiful lake. There's a chance, weather permitting, I'll be looking at the shore, and going out on Lake Winnibigoshish this Sunday for some ice fishing. I was supposed to head to North Dakota for some ice fishing this weekend, but the ice is no longer good enough where I fish.
If it isn't Superior, I'm still in for this ghost participant.

 

Let's really get into the double digits.
#11. Go:
Time and Time again we must reassess and readjust as life keeps bowling along. Self reflection is a valuable tool. At least, that's my opinion.

 

I've wondered about you for a while; this hint seems almost too obvious. Need to go back and reassess previous hints . . .

 

Ok, another hint, because, why not, it's my weekend, and I'm about to pop open another beer.

Hint 16 - My target, earler, has indicated that he's not had a beer from South Dakota. That will change in this BIF, oh will it ever change.

Previous hints:

Hint 1 - I have not shipped to my target before.
Hint 2 - Your city/town is at a lower elevation than mine.
Hint 3 - Your city/town has a smaller population than where I have my packages delivered, but bigger that where I actually live (Waite Park, MN)
Hint 4 - Your city/town was founded before mine.
Hint 5 - My box is leaving my time zone (Central)
Hint 6 - My target hasn't had Surly Pentagram before, or hasn't reviewed it. That will change.
Hint 7 - I have been a member of BA longer than my target.
Hint 8 - My target has posted at least one hint (so far) for her/his target.
Hint 9 - I have more beer reviews than you do.
hint 10 - I have never been to your state
Hint 11 - St. Cloud, MN is/was the home to 2 Lt. Governors of Minnesota (9th, and 44th), and was home to the 4th Governor of Minnesota. Your town/city is not home to any Governors or Lt. Governors of your state.
Hint 12 - Bad news for some, I'm shipping South and East.
Hint 13 - Your state was one of the original 13
Hint 14 - Your state quarter was released the year my nephew was born.
Hint 15 - I was planning on heading over to Historic Casanova Liquors in Hudson, to get you some New Glarus beers, assuming you've never been exposed to them. After stalking your profile, I discovered you've been exposed.
