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

And, yeah, I know Brock wasn't an actual Canadian PM, but he was a bit of a badass.

 

Prime Minister or Governor-General? How many true PMs got on a plane back to the UK when they had to leave office?

 

He didn’t go back to the UK. He was born in Canada. He just ‘felt’ British.

I like him for this quirk and for his work in promoting Canadian history. He is generally considered a failure as a leader.

 

Both.

 

Question: was the box I dropped earlier tonight a ninja box, a LIF follow-up box, a first-strike at my target, a payback box, or imaginary?

Is this real life, or just fantasy?

 

Im an horrible BIFer, Working too damn much is what it is.

Hint-- My target is in a different time zone
Hint-- My targets state has 2 or more teams that were in the original 64 teams in March Madness
Hint- I HAVE shipped beer to my target in the past. i cant remember if it was a trade or a Bif.

 

Hint #11: According to this duo, "<insert name of a local to you music/art magazine> was a popular drink, and it still is."

Hint #12: Formerly the Pippin, this personal favorite roller coaster was once named the "King of Coasters" by the New York Times and is a National Historic Landmark.

Haul Hint: I've given myself a challenge in putting together this haul for my target which has led to several spontaneous purchases, like yesterday's slew of bottles from a brewery less than a mile from me that are rather spontaneous themselves.

 

This next two weeks is my favorite part of the BIF, as it should basically start raining beer between now and the 11th. Love seeing all the great beers that everybody sends.

 

If you are referring to R.B., his ancestors moved from England to Connecticut in the 17th century (and enjoyed bourbon & lambic....ok, I made that part up)

 

Hey, what do you know, I do! I live on a Bennett street.

 

This I did not know. Or did I?

Boy, I wonder how many of you have a connection?

Am I even participating?

 

A Pippin is a type of apple, which we grow in WA. The Pippins are a baseball team in WA. Coincidence, Hmmmmmmm?

All the answers are there

Could not agree more. Hints can hurt the brain if you try to keep up.... but the seeing all the bombs drop is

 

I feel like (Ty) Cobb and (Mike) Tyson stand among the greats, but can't quite figure out the instrument. Also, have no idea what either of them would do with me or my location. Also, I could be totally off . . .

 

Hint #13: This sign existed for decades on the side of a tavern named for the bridge that it resided beside. It was a bastion of polish food in the middle of Pittsburgh's Little Italy, and also $1 bottles of expired beer on Thurdsay nights. Years later, the bar painted over the sign much to the disappointment of the residents of the neighborhood. The locals always abbreviated the bar name down to its initials which are the first three letters of my target's username. A brewery opened in December within eye shot of this now closed tavern, but decided to resurrect the sign in some of their branding. My target will be receiving one of the stickers as part of their swag portion, and also hopefully a can of their first foeder-aged dortmunder lager that will be released tomorrow.
