NBS BIF #16 Hints and Hauls: Sweet Sixteen - Teenage Lust Tastes Like Creamed Corn and Rolling Rock

And it seems I've already posted that fact before. I'm trying to make up for lost time over the weekend right now and got a bit forgetful.

 

I have only been on one battleship (at least in this country. I've been on a sailing battleship and an ironclad battleship, but both were in the UK). It was not in a harbor in the state it was named for. I've actually been on it several times, both when it was moored in reserve not far from a former sub sandwich shop that @Roguer used to work at, and more recently at its current location.
Incidentally, although my state of current and long-time residence does not have a battleship named after it that has been preserved, the state I was born in once had a battleship as a memorial, until one day in the early 1940s when it did not. That battleship had something in common with a ship linked to my target.

 

Hint 1: Michael Brown finished his basketball career as assistant coach for the Chicago Bulls in 2008.

Hint 2: At 6 feet, 10 inches tall, Michael Brown earned the nickname, “The New Washington Monument” while playing for George Washington University in the early 1980’s.

Hint 3: Scoring nearly 2300 points in 5 seasons with the Utah Jazz, Mike brown earned the nickname “The Brown Bear” from esteemed Jazz announcer, Rodney Clark “Hot Rod” Hundley.

Hint 4: If I add the year Michael Brown started his basketball career to the year he finished his basketball playing career and then add the total number of points he scored over that time period, that total number is still over 800 less than the number representing my targets zip code.

Hint 5: At 257 pounds, 6’ 10”, it is more than likely that Michael Brown wore at least 2 shirt sizes larger than my target.

Hint 6: If you don’t have a “B” somewhere in your legal name; as in Michael Brown, you’re not my target.

Hint 7: In the same regard as Michael Brown could have once been considered “King of the Court”, I don’t doubt my target could be considered king of his respective “court”.

 

Hint #7
I do not reside in the state I was born in. While they have not authoritatively said so, I think my target has that in common with me.

 

Hint #6/Haul Hint #2: I made a stop at Binny’s by Midway.

I bought beer …..



One can each from these 4-packs/6-packs will go to my target, except for the one he/she has already enjoyed.

This should just about complete box #1, AKA “the small box.”

 

A more specific Haul Hint #2, this beer was a big enough deal that I broke out the Schell’s beer bucket to chill this beer.

It is worthy of such consideration, IMHO, and I believe my target, who likes hops a lot (is that a hidden hint???), will appreciate this beer as I do - a big, nicely bitter (70 IBU’s) WCDIPA that drinks lighter than its 10% ABV.

Until you try to stand up after pounding a pint in 10 minutes.

 

Here to pounding pints! That one sounds excellent. Cheers.

 

I’m down to 8(9?) possible partners. Really getting down to the wire here. What a thrill!

 

Well, it depends on if they own their Beemerishness, or try to hide it by switching brands.

One would think that, expensive as BMWs are, signal lights would come standard. Apparently not though.

 

Probably.

 

Are you my sender?

 

No.

 

Oh, like I expect you to tell the truth.

 

Hint#3 I have been to my Target's home state twice. The first time on Business, the second for funsies.

 

Maybe you're right but I assumed that since Berkeley is referred to as "Cal" or "California," it is the flagship campus. Like UNC Chapel Hill is "UNC."

 

Since i'm probably the only person who mentioned a beer with fish meat in it... I AM VERY SUSPICIOUS.
