    So need advice. Traded for a Fou Foune got it today half frozen and leaked probably an ounce due to the weather. Plus the guy I traded it from took his damn time sending it. Should have been here last week.

    anyways. Should I just let it unfreeze and drink now or would it be ok to drink in a couple weeks. Wanted to save it to drink on my 30th birthday.

    As shitty as it is that he lost (I was one of the 100 that lost the last one), the membership includes 5 bottles and a buncha SWAG, these are just extra opportunities at cool bottles.

    I'm currently waiting for my rejection email myself!

    If the cork is still inside of it and in 1 piece you can wait

    I'm going to be doing some 12 and 22 ounce curls this week, preparing.

    Good thing is when you get your box, it'll atleast be cold enough to drink when the UPS guy finally gets it shoved on your porch!

    Nothing posted on my El Cat page. Hope that means I'm not a loser yet (insert joke here).

    There is another opt in for another bottle of Rum Cafe Americano though.

    BOOM! And no I didn't drop the box off at @Lehighace06 porch. Wasn't @smo or @jpsboom either. Sorry dude. Would love to claim that it was one of us that drove out there but alas, it was not.

    Hmmm.... very odd. And here I was giving you guys a lot of credit for picking up the Philly paper instead of a local one to throw me off. The more I think about it though, it's not just getting to my neighborhood from NJ, it's getting to my neighborhood from NORTH NJ, much less likely; as confounding as it is, I'll take your word for it.

    However, that leaves me without an obvious suspect.... could the FIBs be so devious as to employ someone from outside the thread to come to my house? A non-SWTFYW local trader is the only thing I can think of.... mythaeus maybe? As prominent as he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he was tight with the mods... very confounding.

    Well, without further adieu, here's the pron of unknown origin:

    I'm just glad there's not another damn challenge in this box. I guess whoever they roped in knows I'm a huge fan of BA Barleywines (and Scotch Ales)

    So this much going on inside the bottle can't be a good thing right? Probably just gonna say fuck it and drink tonight.
