    I saw no mention of distance.

    (if, indeed, he is shipping west)

    I do the exact same thing when parsing clues: if someone says, "East" or "West", I draw a straight line N-S, and I consider anyone on the appropriate side of the line to be fair game - even if it's 10 miles West, but 500 miles North.

    That's just me being overly conservative .... or is it???

    Hint #2:

    My targets state has as many vowels as it does syllables.

    But, Washington has more consonants than vowels, so, I'm still in. Right?

    Right. You are correct. Washington has more consonants than vowels. And you are still in that beautiful state.

    Hint #1: I am (as is typical) shipping south and east.
    #2: I am shipping to one of the 48 contiguous states.
    #3: It is a possibility that I have shipped to my targets state in a previous BIF.

    Hmmmm .... you lived in Cali, and my favorite team are the Fuckin' Forty-Niners ..... and with Southern accents, "GEE-YOUR-GEEE-AHH" could well be proncounced with 4 syllables (or "as many" could imply a minimum, vice an exact number) ....

    I look forward to your gifts, kind sir!

    (No. Not an official call out lol.)

    I need to build my spreadsheet. More hints to follow. No Beethoven theme this year. No promises that I won't follow some kind of theme, though.

    You forgot to carry the nine in this equation. But I'll double check my math

    OK, I'll kick off the first LIF of this round. Here are the Parameters; Sending a small box (probably 6x12oz or equivalent). If you win, you must do another LIF (using your own parameters, except that your winner must LIF, as must theirs, etc....). Must be a participant in this BIF.

    My LIF: My Montreal Canadiens host the Minnesota Wild tomorrow (10/17/19) night. Puck drops at 7pm Eastern (4 Pacific), entries must be submitted by 6:45E/3:45P to be eligible. How many goals does Montreal score? In case of a tie, earliest entrant wins.

    I got dibs on Zero.

    Sorry, Terry. I didn’t even know the Minnesota Wild were a team until just now, but I know enough to hate those maple syrup-drinking Canadien bastards.

    Cannot "like" (how can you hate the folks who gave us poutine?), but, that digit is yours.

    I'm going to run with three goals.

    Love this LIF idea. I also love that there is no established end to the LIF chain. Madness! :grinning:
