    I use to be an avid concert bootlegger, so I have been able to imagine myself at quite a few shows. Don't think I have seen the Watch it Go, gonna have to check it out. I remember watching some video where they smashed a dudes car, I think?

    P.S. Some of the bootlegs were trade bait... lol

    Two stories for your entertainment this morning.

    Last night I had a very strange (and scary) dream. It went like this: I returned home from work and saw news trucks and police tape and all of this stuff outside of my place. There were men dressed in those white Hazmat suits going in and out of my house. They were extracting beer....

    Second story - on my way to work today, I pulled up to the toll booth and the guy inside was actually Santa. He said "leave some f****** hints today."

    That is all. Cheers gentlemen.

    Disclaimer - I am operating off of about 3 hours of sleep so if none of this makes sense....well...you get it.

    Remember that box that was supposed to be delivered today ... It is in my target's state, but NOW fedex says it won't be delivered till tomorrow :slight_frown:. I guess my target can wait one more day. Geeze

    Ninja Hint: My target lives in a city whose name can be linked to Roswell, New Mexico.

    I think two of your hints (Colorado, beer-related avatar) make a good case for me, unless other Coloradans besides fortsambo and buffs9 have been lurking. And yes, I can wait. :slight_smile:

    My target has replied to this thread at least once, but fewer than five times.

    Crazy lurkers ... they need to post more hints! Santa said so himself. I added a ninja hint to my post above too

    If it wasn't for a couple of your very early hints I would think it could be me...

    I don't think your target will mind if you ship a bit late, if it makes the box better. Not sure how Cuzco would feel.

    I cleared it with the man in charge before I made the decision, but it's good to know my target is patient as well.:wink:

    I did some shopping yesterday for my target. I may have gone a bit overboard, but my favorite brewery here had some sweet swag that I couldn't pass up. 5 pieces of swag, plus some local treats will be in the box. Still putting together a few more bottles.

    I am shipping to my targets work address, which freed up about $10 to put towards another bottle(s).

    Alright boys and girls, two boxes weighing in at a combined 54lbs just left with Santa from the UPS store. They will be arriving at my target's porch a week from today.

    Here's a hint that will help with a prior hint... My target's shipping town is different than their listed location in their BA profile. The earlier hint refers to the BA profile location.



    Remember, lift with your legs, not your back!

    Screw it...I am proclaiming you as my Santa.

    North of Mason Dixon - Check.

    East of MI River - Check

    Football Coach drives you crazy - Bill Belichik

    Former Iowa QB and Brand of Wild Horse - Brad Banks Brand of Wild Horse - Ford Bronco.....Bradford...which is different than my shipping address - Haverhill.

    I win. (I think.)

    Hmm - I suck with hints but this hint has a lot of potential, particularly along with your other hints.
