    I'll take the under 175 yards passing with -3 rushing. Really I'm just over compensating for being too high in the baseball 3 game total.

    Haul hint #1: You're very fortunate because two of your preferred styles just had their highly rated seasonal releases here.
    Haul hint #2: A stout I'm sending is made with coffee from a shop local to that brewery that in the last 5 years was considered one of the "up and coming" coffee roasters in the US by some publications.
    Haul hint #3: He's a partner in crime you can't say no to, met one Mardi Gras long ago...
    Haul hint #4: Some believe the name of this beer causes airplanes and ships to go missing in the bermuda triangle.
    Haul hint #5: It might of spent a few hours in my cooler today before arriving home, but it spent a lot longer than that in a barrel.

    Speaking of trickery...

    I may have gone over the ounce limitation!

    Also - I still haven't figured out my sender. I'm down to seven suspects, which probably means that I am awful at this game.

    ISO: hints! We have a few quieter participants.

    Humbly praying for help!

    My target seems to fall in this category.

    I liked your post, but I really don't like it because I had you pegged early as a likely sender and I think I've posted enough to preclude me being included in the "quieter" category.

    Oh snap... I may have to unpack something from a box... maybe...

    PS: let's be honest - I'm lazy. The box is already packed, damnit.

    I mean, "maybe".
