    NBS BIF #4: Monkeys With Knives, will be getting started in a couple weeks. If you want in on this BIF reply here. If you have questions, feel free to ask 'em here. I'll start a Hints n Hauls thread after I set the pairings.

    Monkey Knife Fight
    definition
    A deadly fight that occurs between two monkeys who have purchased knives . Although not compulsory, everyone gets kicks out of the monkeys being handcuffed together. Sometimes fought in international waters to avoid federal "No Monkey Knife Fighting" laws.
    And I also find at least 3 different breweries that make a Monkey Knife Fight Beer. Will we get bonus points if we include a Monkey Knife Beer in our box?

    Well, we haven't decided if the share date on NBS is going to be Oct 2 or Oct 9, aw fuck it, Share date is October 9th, that's the Sunday of Columbus day weekend. You should ship so that your target receives their box no later than the preceding Thursday, Oct 6.

    Remember, I've doubled the minimum from 66-72 oz (3-22oz or 6-12oz) to 132-144oz. Few people were shipping the minimums anyway, so this won't have much of a real-world effect. I'm going to link this thread the next 2 NBS's, and will, hopefully once again with @LehighAce06 's help, have target pairings out in the middle of the week of Sept 5-9. That gives 3-ish weeks for the Hints and Hauls shenanigans, and shopping, with a bit of cushion before shipping dates. Also this time, I'm not going to focus so much on creating shorter shipping distances. Everyone needs to expect to have to ship as far away from where they live as possible.

    I'll have to bow out of this one as well, as I'll be out of town that weekend. I will however, stay on top the publishing of the #5 thread to see if that works for me. Have fun on this one though!

    Date is good for me! I'll be flying in from Minneapolis that day, will be too tired for yard work/etc. Will need to sit around and post beer reviews all day to regain my strength.

    I'm going to have to look carefully at the calendar and see if I can pull this off. I'm working late practically every day and busy most weekends in Sept. Plus, the 9th is the date of my annual O'fest party. I'll decide by NBS this week one way or another.

    Don't be coy, ya know yer gonna join. The shares generally spread out over a couple weeks anyway, you could post one the week before.

    That's a great suggestion, but it's only a small part of it. The shopping and packing may be tough to pull off, but I'll be there if I can.

    I'm on the fence like @SammyJaxxxx ...

    Yep, I'm in. That took all of 2 seconds.:grinning:

    PS. Please give me a target that needs an excuse to rebuild a porch, that way I'm doing them a favor with the demo.:wink:
