    In if it was my surname, I’m out on my BA handle ( considers changing name to become a targeted BA )

    I hope it's not on the menu at the Harry Potter themed restaurant I'm going to with my friends Saturday night.

    I picked a rough three days to be on the road for work. Took me 45 minutes to catch up on the thread.

    In the BA ratings, 3 isn't meant to represent "average", right? I'm usually under rDev, but probably still a little higher than I should be. If I use the below as a general guide, I probably have a few too many beers that end up in the 3.75 - 3.99 range that I would describe as "good" (and thus should be a little lower than where I've rated them). Same deal for "outstanding" when I would actually describe as very good.
    4.50 - 5.00 = World-Class
    4.00 - 4.49 = Outstanding
    3.75 - 3.99 = Very Good
    3.50 - 3.74 = Good
    3.00 - 3.49 = Okay
    2.00 - 2.99 = Poor
    1.00 - 1.99 = Awful
    It would not be possible for me to like this idea any more than I do.
    A tattoo of @FBarber's rDev rather than your own perhaps?
    If I received this in a work email, I would have hit our "report phishing" button in Outlook to flag it as a phishing attempt.

    Hint #5 - quite a week….I’m in. Tampa at a customer trade show. Celebrated the birth of my third grandson yesterday with fresh draft beers at Angry Chair. Then went to dinner at Ulele = excellent , i recommend then grilled oysters and native chili.

    Might visit cigar city tomorrow. Hey Target, Want some? I would need to ship it north to you from here. Note the latitude and longitude of Angry Chair

    My friend and former coworker is the head brewer at Tampa Bay Brewing Company. Try some of their beers if you haven't already.

    Wish I'd known this a month ago - I would have tried to get some of their beers when I was in Florida.

    Yup, Splintered Wand. Seems as if they have quite the selection of absinthe's there. They don't seem to have their own website, and on some 3rd party site it looks like the menu is sorta limited (and a bit pricey), but Lis is a big HP nerd, so, since she's taking us to Hales for a final visit (and probably a couple other breweries too), off to see Harry I go.

    Cool. Let me know how it goes. My wife just discovered the place and today we made a reservation (weeks in advance) for when the kids are on spring break.

    Hey, congrats! Grandkids are a hoot until they get to the teens. Then you’re just another “boomer”

    Well, @Roguer gets his for free because I forgot who I was going for by the time I got to Excel.

    Had that a couple times via earlier iterations of this BIF. Great beer.
    I think I'm out on this, on the basis that I rarely publicly orgasm in the manner of this individual.

    Especially in @Dimidiata's case, where she's not even in the BIF!

    Seriously, if you did that for me, I'd feel obligated to steal someone's first born (as I don't have one to offer, myself, I'd have to resort to the Gray Market) to match such an act.
