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

Nice work, @kemoarps!

 

Beautiful @kemoarps

 

Great box @Beersnake1. Well done!

Address unchanged. Marital status may change soon if beer keeps showing up on my porch however!

Like when USPS tracking shows this for over a week?

I do that every time. At the outset I tell myself I'm going to write down what I put in each box because I always pack and repack until I find what combos fit best, and everytime I get the box fully sealed and then go, 'oh shit, what was in that one again?'
Oh well, it generally ends up working out in the end.

Glad the box made it there safe and sound! And like I said... I enjoyed trying to put this grouping together, even if I wasn't sticking as closely to personal experience/etc to inform my decisions.
That was just the first box. I'm hoping the next one gets out tomorrow, though it might not be until Friday. Just wanted to make sure at least something got there by this weekend's big share!

And, man... yeah what a game! I figured when we scored first that at least we'd make a respectable showing of things, then y'all popped the back to back goals to open the 3P and I was quite demoralized. Then things went all topsy turvy and the Kraken did to y'all, one of the best teams in the league, what teams usually do to the Kraken! Wild times. And D'Accord got his first ever NHL win! I guess that's pretty OK!

 

I'm going to make things extremely easy for my target by posting a new set of clues below
1 my target has considerably less beer karma than I do
2 My target has reviewed Odd Side Hazelnut
3 My target and I have history via trade, BIF, or ninja
4 UConn's football team was smoked by one of the big teams from my target's state earlier this year
5 beer will cross 4 state lines on its way to my target
6 My target and I are nearly equidistant from big water

 

It is really neat to see that team have the crowd and support it has had since last year. I think the team did a great job with name, color, and jerseys too. I watch their highlights from time to time but never catch them live cause of the time difference.

Heck I saw a Kraken sweatshirt Saturday morning at soccer.

 

Tracking shows my first strike to my target's porch is out for delivery. They still have not called me out, but I can only assume they've figured it out and are being coy because I laid it on pretty thick towards the end. But just in case, I will throw out one more hint.

I was a little surprised the box didn't seem to pass through:

 

Speaking of thick, I got up at 0:Fuck:Early this morning to work my usual Thursday double shift. The brain fog is still with me as I eat my breakfast at work and had to edit the above post three times for reasons of general dumbassery.

 

This may make me sound like a petty sports fan, but as a Habs fan, seeing Wright’s early struggles makes watching Slafkovsky’s much easier to accept.

 

1 & 3 apply to me, I'll pretend the others are lies, and you can send to me! Woooooo!

 

Ooof, that name. It's easily the worst team name in all of sports. I was so excited for there to be a local team, and then they ruin it with that name. One of the owners is Jerry Bruckheimer, so it wasn't a big surprise. Yeah, let's be Krakheads, and go to a game at the Krakhouse. Good job guys.

 

His snipe against the blues the other night was quite pretty though.

 

Ok, well when you put it that way...

 

I'm with @jonphisher.....I like the name. When I take a step back, there are lots of stupid names out there...I'm just so used to them I never give it a second thought.

 

Yeah, there aren't a whole lot of sports names out there that can't be manipulated into something nasty by fans of an opposing team.

 

It is I. The box has arrived and pics will follow, but right now we’re getting our septic pumped.

It’s been a crappy day. Ba-dum-bum.

But this box will make it better, fo shizzle.

I wasn’t being coy, I had you eliminated a long time ago, first with your Hint #7 (born and raised in Indiana) and then REALLY with Hint #16 (I shipped you some beer). I almost added you back with your hint showing the top of a Dark Lord bottle, but I’ve been crazy busy with work and forgot about it, to be honest with you, and even though I “liked” the Rudy post, I wasn’t really paying attention.

Which categorically proves I’m a dumbass.

You rock, Fred. I’ll open the box here in a bit and post pics of the magnificence you sent my way.

 

Well, I don't know about magnificence. It's certainly not on par with the hurt you manage to put on my porch with every one of your boxes, but it should give you some comfy amounts of ounces to get you past the share date, and then the middle of next month you'll be hit up a couple more times.

 

Actually, I meant middle of this month, as in November.

 

That's super cool that you're seeing it even at random events like that. Say what you will about some of the branding (and, as demonstrated, Terry will), but I think they absolutely nailed some of it as well. We have top-5 jerseys/colours in the league, and I like the logos as well (especially the anchor).

What early struggles? I haven't seen Shane Wright struggle for us. Of course, that's because I haven't really seen Shane Wright at all in!
I really hope we're not completely ruining his development. He already missed one year due to covid, we can't just sacrifice a whole another year of development.
I think there's something super rotten in Kingston of which they are trying to keep him clear...

*the biggest eyeroll*
I mean people are gonna come up with shitty nicknames and self-smug jokes about any team. It's not even the worst name in their division, let alone all of sports. I'd rather be the Kraken than be named after a 90s Emilio Estevez kids movie!
Hell, I know several people who unironically think that 'Rain City Bitch Pigeons' is actually a clever twist on the Seahawks. Kraken wasn't my first choice (not by a long shot), but it's really not that bad. There were people who legitimately thought it would be a good idea to name them the Seattle Freeze!

 

When I first heard of The mighty Ducks has a real franchise, I legitimately thought someone was joking.
