    I'm not eligible for the prize as my sons are now men.
    I used to have to drive my oldest around in the car seat when he was young just to get him to fall asleep. This went on from the time he was about 4 months until he was 18-19 months. Having him spend a whole lot of time in the car with me I guess he picked a few things up.
    One day when he was just about 2 he's in the car seat with my mother seated next to him. I'm behind a car at a red light and when the light turns green the car in front of me doesn't move. I gently tap the horn and from the backseat in a baby voice I hear "fuckin' assho". My mother was completely shocked and wanted to know "where he picked that up from?" I was embarrassed and proud at the same time.
    After we dropped my mom off I randomly honked the horn a few times to get the same Pavlov response of "fuckin assho" each time.
    The next time my wife was in the car with us I showed her his response to honking the horn and she wasn't very happy with me...
    women!

    your trying to build up her muscles aren't you. The sad thing is the next picture in the sequence, her chasing the family dog/cat with it.

    It was a tough decision but the winner is Brees6221. The other stories were great but the deciding factor was the boob-consumption. My older boy has embarrassed my wife on many occasions regarding this subject and every time it makes me laugh.

    I'll be sending a box that contains:
    -my "everyday" beer that happens to be in a can
    -my favorite DIPA, thankfully easily available to me
    -my favorite new beer of 2011
    -my two favorite "big" stouts in little bottles
    -the beer I drank a lot of this winter
    -a solid and affordable BA stout that was thankfully on shelves for a while in Chicago
    -my first and probably favorite BA beer
    -my annual St. Patrick's Day beer
    -a C&C bottle that I discovered this year and like a LOT
    -my favorite barleywine

    Cheers to all the dads who posted.

    Wow, that's awesome and very generous of you, thanks. Abby's getting ice cream tonight and I may have to add on to the JW Lees I have set aside for her 21st! Thanks again and good luck with the Great Kate Chase; I'll post my haul/picture as soon as I get the box.

    Holy LIF! I've been fortunate enough to receive a few very nice LIF boxes in my time, but this one takes the cake! What I really like about this box is that it isn't just a bunch of great beers he threw together, but each one represents him in some way, while managing to hit several wants and some of my favorite styles. The haul:

    New Glarus thumbprint Barleywine
    Leinenkugels Big Eddy
    Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout 2011 - WANT
    Goose Island Bourbon County Stout 2011 - WANT
    Three Floyds Arctic Panzer Wolf
    Boulevard Harvest Dancer
    4x Half Acre Daisy Cutter
    Three Floyds Brian Boru
    Three Floyds Behemoth 2012
    New Glarus Road Slush
    Founders KBS 2012
    Founders Imperial Stout – WANT (Added probably 3 hours before box arrived, haha)
    Founders Breakfast Stout
    Three Floyds Zombie Dust* - WANT

    Guinness tasting glass
    Pliny the Elder hoodie !!!

    *Not pictured because it broke in-transit.Seriously, this thing must have been tossed by someone.The bottom corner of the box was dented and ever so slightly damp, but otherwise I had no indication of breakage.Thanks to the amazing packing job (bubble wrap, zip lock bag and fedex padded envelope), all of the glass shards and 99% of the liquid was contained.This is a prime example of why you should pack a box well – even in the unlikely event that a bottle breaks, you can still avoid delivery exceptions or collateral damage inside the box.

    Fantastic job all around Joe, thank you so much!

    Almost all of them. My favorite new 2011 beer was zombie dust. The big eddy was another beer I drank a lot of this winter as it was a cheap option for a big stout when I was in the mood as was the NG Barleywine. I'm lucky to be close to Wisconsin. The big stouts in little bottles were FIS and FBS. The KBS was pure chance - my beer guy had a fourpack for me the night before I shipped and I wanted to share the wealth as I had given up hope on this years KBS (zero for a lot). I like the anticipation of giving a box of unknowns - i am hooked on BIF/LIFs. Cheers!
