    By chance could it be 39 times higher than yours?

    Well considering that I'm playing my brother this week in fantasy, he has Gurley who already has 25.5 points AT THE HALF!!! Even though the Rams are my local team, I am not happy!!!:astonished:

    So good to hear. I went over to the County website to see about donations.

    So the Eagles scored 21 points today (and lost), which means @FlintB won my LIF! 1 point off with a prediction of 20. Send me your details and I’ll have a box off to you this weekend!

    I just posted "War and Peace" on today's thread.

    I am certain I need a beer to ease my pain.

    I've gotten a couple reminders to nudge the slowpokes along. Maybe remind folks who we're not seeing as active of our parameters.

    Dear Target,

    I apologize for the impending damage to your porch.

    Nah, not really - not after me and "The Mule" (Mrs O) sweated our collective buttocks off whilst securing tasty beverages in quantity at Transient earlier today. That's "The Mule" in the foreground - she was ready to publicly castrate me when she found out we had to wait in line (I may have omitted that piece of information when I pitched the idea of her joining my on today's adventure) .....

    [​IMG]

    ..... and the haul (multiples of both bombers, hence the need for The Mule) .....

    [​IMG]

    You'll receive varying quantities of each. And this is just the beginning .....

    What i always do is if my target is active in this thread i always send a second box or some hard to get beers in first box. Ive always gotten active targets, but if i ever get one that isn't active then they may just get slightly above minimum. Beer karma ya know

    Yeah, the lack of participation in both previous BIF, and especially NBS has been a big reason why we've lost some solid participants. I don't want to get stricter on joining, and I don't think joining in on NBS and the H&H thread, is onerous in any way, but we might be there.

    Once we're done with this one, I'll start a group chat about how to proceed going forward.

    Quick heads up to my sender, I will be out of town from 9/28-10/6. Someone will be home to receive any parcels though unboxing will be delayed until I return.

    This is my first BIF, and I really enjoy the banter here. I also am having fun giving my target hints on what they're getting and who they are. Plus - I love NBS. I think the last one I missed was last year the day my dad died - even then I was reading the thread to take my mind off the situation.

    I hope some good solution is found.

    I don't know who my sender is, but, I might have guess who it is based on a clue one participant gave.

    Hint #1: my target has drank a lot of beer, but not many have been from my neck of the woods.

    I will have to fix this!

    That excludes me, because if I cared about football, it would have been the noon central game that mattered to me in my state and the one across the St. Croix/Mississippi rivers.

    Time for another hint.

    -Target, you have either commented on one of my posts, I have commented on one of yours(either in this thread or another), or we have messaged directly.

    -If you think it’s you just forget it. It’s probably not you.

    -This could completely backfire, but the first one of you who replies to this can ask me if I’m their sender and I will honestly answer.

    Hint #1: my target has drank a lot of beer, but not many have been from my neck of the woods.

    Hint #2: I liked at least one of my target’s NBS posts.

    ahem ahem ahem can I call someone out despite not reading all the posts I'm behind on (aka all of them, for some reason I stopped getting notifications on this thread) but @Dwood1466 I do believe I am lucky enough to be your target!!
