    Alright, a week out of town leaves me woefully behind on pr0n making, and for that you all have my sincere apologies. It ends today!

    Starting with a two part killshot from the ridiculous @robgage who crushed it with 6 new ticks and 2 permawants. My VP of marketing was STILL talking about the Pappy 20 the next morning while I was driving him to the airport. Well played!!

    Looks like I need to clean my table...

    EDIT: Not Pictured: a freaking EXTRA of BBPT5. Sorry Rob, I accidentally left it at the hotel bar Tuesday night!

    Next up, before I left I had heard that Backwoods Bastard was available to a few members and expressed some interest. @jawas practically knocked people over in a rush to accept! So I asked for a couple 4 packs, simple.

    My wife texted me early this week while I was in DC about a massive back breaking box from NJ. This was confusing since the box from Jawas was to be small.

    Opened it today...

    I can see someone did poorly at counting in school. First off, the pregnant wife watched me open it and IMMEDIATELY swooped up the brittle and held onto it like a malnourished wildling. I'm hoping I get to taste some!

    - 2 Packs of BWB. A personal favorite of mine from Fouders!
    - Brittle Whales!
    - KBS -- I had mentioned I thought BWB was even better than KBS...I suppose Rob wants me to do a side-by-side and test the theory :grinning:
    - 4 Beans -- This was ridiculously good the one time I had it, very pleased to have again
    - Mad Elf -- Sounds YUMMY, may have it at a Holiday party tonight
    - Allies Donuts Double Chocolate Porter - Yes PLEASE
    - Sit Down Son -- A new one from Carton, very excited to try this! Also, dry hopped lager sounds super delicious
    - Geyser Gose -- Fantastic name, and a gose brewed with Icelandic Moss? Consider me intrigued!
    - Shape of Hops to Come -- Fantastic hoppy beverage, permawant status

    Cheers Rob, I really appreciate it. I'll be sending you "a few" beers in return...

    Edit #5 to read "Beer must be drank within 24 hours of receiving." If you cannot do that for some reason, then you must post a time within that 24 hours that you will be consuming it.

    1. Murder Jones Dog
    2. Marry Prop
    3. Screw Firestone Walker

    Next up, through the magic of the internet and proxies, @PG2G was sending me a box with a couple Bruery reserve beers. He heard me poking around regarding a Lost Abbey sale, had a third slot in the 3-shipper, and couldn't help himself. Massive WANT dude, I appreciate it immensely. You'll get yours soon!

    NBD...just a V013 :grimacing:

    Sorry for the derp image quality, my toddler was sent down by mommy to 'help' daddy unpack beers. He put the headlamp on his head and turned all the lights off...

    Glad it all arrived safe. This was the only box i had in my garage, so I had to fill it up to make sure the BWB didn't get damaged on route.

    Last Minute reminder--Murder Marry Screw!

    Of the three beers below, decide

    1. which beer I should drink (murder)
    2. which beer you want to receive from me (marry)
    3. and which beer you want me to send to someone else (screw) (Do NOT post the name of the BA that you want to screw, just the beer.

    Quote this post and respond by listing your “Murder, Marry, and Screw” selections in your post. At a predetermined time, I will take all of the entrants, place them into a random generator, and select a winning list. I will notify you via BM that you are the winner so that we can make arrangements.

    [​IMG]
    Beer A. Goose Island Proprietor's 2015
    Beer B. Pipeworks Brewing BA Jones Dog (Batch 403/404)
    Beer C. Firestone Walker XIX Anniversary


    Of course, there are a few rules that you must agree to if you want in.

    Rules
    1. This BIF is open to any LOCAL who has participated in a LOCALs BIF or offered up a LOCALs LIF, or other BAs as determined by the BIF leader
    2. By entering, you are agreeing to run your own “Murder, Marry, Screw” round in the LOCALS forum within a reasonable time frame after “marrying” your beer.
    3. You will offer up three quality beers that you would wish to receive—beers should be desirable, but DO NOT need to be whales.
    4. No "send-backsies,"--unlike traveling boxes, a LOCAL may enter multiple rounds of the "MMS BIF," just not the round immediately following his/her round. (Does that make sense? --No Revenge rounds...)
    5. I will drink the beer that you are murdering me with as I pack the two boxes to be sent out. **** should be posted.
    6. You will drink the beer that you have “married” within a week of receiving it and post ****.
    7. Extras are not required, should not be expected, but (because, after all, we are LOCALS) should not be a surprise either...
    8. the "screwed" BA (receiver of the ninja box) is encouraged to drink(/share) the ninja'd bottle and post a #VBS toasting the LOCAL who "screwed" him or her.

    Since this is a brand new BIF, and I have been drinking, I may adjust the rules based on your feedback BEFORE the winner is selected. I will take entries until noon (12:00 p.m.) this Saturday, 12/5.


    I've adjusted the rules slightly (all adjustments have been mentioned in previous posts), but I hope that this evolves into a regular feature of the LOCALS thread! I am heading out to buy and hang some Christmas decorations, so I will draw a name later tonight! Stay tuned.

    A light lunch while going over deposit reports.

    A touch sweeter than 13 or 14, but very good. A little age will do these some good.

    Next, @Devman171 my OG RTP and @Dave_Treat couldn't let me come to DC without testing the Southwest Airlines scales. Sent me home with a huge pile of wants and PermaWANTs!

    [​IMG]

    Damn friends, thank you!

    Oh, and what's that on the right? Why a new traveling box! A little something to include in a box you're already sending, Tipsy the TuppaWhale is thirsty, and loves big BA beers and sours!

    [​IMG]

    BA Behemoth! Delicious!!! Perfect example of the style :grinning: Watch your porches for a tuppa of something tasty... cheers Devin and Dave!

    Tipsy the Tuppawhale is an incredibly cool idea. I'm curious if he likes stronger fare as well...

    Also, a PSA when feeding Tipsy, be EXTRA mindful of the weather he'll experience on his journey so that he doesn't have a catastrophic accident.

    I'm sure Tipsy would love some 'harder' drinks, there are currently 2 tipsy's released into the wild.. I'm raising them in my basement​
