    I'm a low probability maybe. I've been drinking a lot less lately and have some travel within the rough time frame we've been discussing.
    Terrry, you said cutoff for yes/no is 10th October?

    Hi All. So, sometimes posting a LIF (with a link) doesn't go quite as planned. So here is what I posted in NBS last week:

    For any former NBS BIFer's that join in our 10th, YES I said "10th" NBS BIF, I offer a cool box of hops plus malts...And the first entry is our very own @Lingenbrau . So starting tonight, and anybody who is a former NBS BIF'er in good standing (Yes, and whomever joined before tonight as well), will be entered in my LIF.

    Plus...anybody who is a new, yet highly endorsed NOOB to our shenanigans, will be entered in a separate LIF. Sorry if I don't remember correctly. So basically, lingenbrau is entered as either a former BIF'er (Thought you were in one or more before) or a "NOOB.' So Folks, help me here. I wanna send a few boxes of beer...
    One way or another 2 boxes (maybe more) will go out after next week. Join by the end of next NBS. Great fun. Great People. Great Chaos. Plus you get to send beer, and you receive beer. What's better than that?


    So....here's the list I have so far:
    Returning NBS BIF'ers:
    @beertunes
    @thebeers
    @ovaltine
    @SammyJaxxxx
    @Roguer
    @larryi86
    @Ozzylizard
    @r0rschach
    @superspak
    @nc41

    And @Lingenbrau as a "new" to the BIF (but definitely not NBS)

    If I missed anybody, please let me know. And try to convince a few others, and again, let me know.

    Cheers Folks.

    Believe it or not, I have never participated in a BIF, though I've been BIF'ing it on my own for quite some time. I'm happy to finally participate, and am honored to be entered in your LIF generosity!

    Cheers!

    As of now, whenever NBS closes for the October 13 NBS. (basically, whenever I get my ass in gear Monday and check things out) Share date is November 10, the day before veterans day.

    Looks like we're gonna have a small group, is a month too long for H&H? Leave the sigh-up window open a tad longer? What does the group think?

    I don't think a month is too long for H&H, depending on how active people choose to be - but I think if you wanted to shorten it to give another week for sigh-ups, that wouldn't hurt. I'm fine with a small group - especially this small group! - but it would be nice to get a few more if possible.

    We're missing some regulars from Michigan (@strohme2 ? @Blackop555 ?), and my fellow mercenaries from the SE have all de-committed this round, so we're a touch thin. Still, we've got an excellent geographic spread with the group we've got already. :slight_smile:

    Whoops! Does that mean that the "lava lamps" (declared value US$100) I've shipped to the Great White North have been economically disrupting my targets?

    This plan sounds good to me. The more weekends I have to shop with my target in hand, the more interesting stuff I can find them. (Although with this small a crew, maybe everyone should be a target.)

    Well I'm adding @beerloserLI to the list of returning NBS BIF'ers.

    And @Lingenbrau looks like the only "NOOB" entrant. (So if I am not missing somebody, and please let me know if I did...Linenbrau wins the new entrant LIF)

    So if I don't hear that I overlooked anybody, I'll be throwing names in m'hat tomorrow evening and pull out a name.

    Cheers Folks

    Well, I have drawn the name from my Boilermaker hat. And the winner is somebody who I have never sent beer to before (which eliminates about 1/2 of y'all)...


    And the Purdue hat is a little ironic if I remember this certain BIF'er's loyalties.

    I was in The Hall the day the chair flew (my senior year at IUB). That's the closest I've ever been to a riot. When Knight walked off the court, the inmates were running the asylum. Incredible.

    Your generosity is amazeballs.

    Thanks for the tag! I decided to switch it up this time around. I’m only good for 1 BIF at a time and went for the Sloppy Seconds BIF. I’m sure the shenanigans will continue!

    Fair enough. I opted out of Sloppy Seconds because of NBS, for much the same reason (plus, factor into the equation ninja boxes and the like ....).

    We look forward to your return, I promise. :grinning:
