    I just noticed that, I posted the url from photobucket. Seems pretty straight forward but alas no pic, any ideas?

    ... and here I thought I'd be the only troll...

    Hint #3: I can complete the math "24 game" using the digits of my target's zip code. The last step in the first solution I came up with (or the first stated step if answering in a tournament) is "two times twelve is twenty four"

    ***
    Hint #1: I will be shipping to the east and out of my time zone.
    Hint #2: My target lives in a state which I have never visited.

    edit: I post from Photobucket all the time. I click on "copy direct link" in photobucket and paste that URL into the prompt I receive here by clicking on the little picture of a tree that prompts me to enter the URL. I've yet to have it not work.

    edit 2: I hope this hint has you messing around with the digits in your zip code :grinning:

    Thanks Jdhowe, just needed to use "direct link" not IMG, and that is an awesome hint (gotta love math)!

    Yes, you definitely hit my wants, and I much very much so appreciate that. Gotta say though I almost went with the other stout, but KBS won out for me in the end. Note to everyone else: update your wants, you never know what someone may have, and it also lets your sender know what other similar beers they may have that you may be interested in.

    I am really looking forward to the Sucaba. Like you said sometimes barleywines don't work for me as well either, but when they are good they are really, really good. Also for me barrel aging barleywines also seems to really make them shine and become something stellar.

    And another hint- The last time the Tampa Bay Rays played the MLB team from target's state the rays won by 5 points. Thank You.

    A participant in our BIF won a LIF yesterday. Jono0101 deserves a round of applause. :grinning:

    Congrats Jono, I think it's karma coming around for the rouse played on the 22 want hint.

    Hint 3: my targets wants list is slightly larger than mine.

    thanks guys! it was the "how many bottles is too many bottles?" LIF. i think JohnnieNepal is right, beer karma cashing in from getting fooled by the 22 wants hint! I am looking forward to trying some cigar city stuff, only had two or three of the always available ones, and they were all good. since i am pretty new to the trading stuff, i was wondering, is there now some kind of etiquette for me to do a LIF sometime in the near future to keep the goodness flowing?

    Nice, good to see some FL LIF karma making its way to you. Maybe Threefishes will throw in some homebrew, I've heard its pretty damn good, no matter what I guarantee you will be getting some great Fl beer in there.

    Box is going out tomorrow, keep an eye on your porches.

    It's usually a good thought and highly recommended, but not a requirement (unless stated so in your OP's original LIF thread)

    There is a package on someone's porch, in the state where "The Breakfast Club" was filmed.

    Jay: See, all these movies take place in this small town called Shermer in xxxxxxxx, where all the honeys are top-shelf but all the dudes are whiny *******. Except for Judd Nelson, he was fuckin' harsh.
