    Ok, I am 7/8ths sure this may be me. I don't live on ODB Lane though...

    If this is me, I'd like to answer the question posed in hint #8: the same way this gentleman pronounces his: [​IMG]

    Hint#6: I am shipping to the Land of Lincoln, and briefly spent time in one of your "fine" airports today, on my way to spend a week of vacation in Des Moines, IA.

    Keep a lookout on your porch this Wednesday!

    Another hint: My target's state is a frequent vacation spot for those from my state when we can't get our fix from the Jersey shore. Remember, shipping south.

    Well hello sender! I hope that you enjoyed your time in our state! Note: it's late, I just drank a Black Xantus and I could be completely wrong about this, but I do fill all of the hints.

    My boxes are set to ship south tomorrow afternoon. their 4,294 mile journey (if they took the route shown on google maps) would take them through 4 provinces and 13 states (including mine and the target's) FedEx claims 7 days, however a previous trade to a neighboring state of my target got there in only 4...

    and to my sender: i'm looking forward to that box. my porch has done pretty good with snow and ice in the harsh winters up here, but i'm thinking of beefing it up a bit, just in case. (and i kinda hope that homebrew made it in...)

    Alright, so... I have some good news and some bad news for my target.

    The bad news: I was unfortunately unable to get one of the growlers that I had planned to pick up today :slight_frown:.
    The good news: I instead threw in a sour from my cellar that you do not get in your state, as well as a fall seasonal beer that gets a lot of attention on this site.

    Final count comes to:

    426.8 ounces (including a growler of something from my favourite local brewery, filled 8/11)
    Ratings from 85 to 100 with an average around 92 (the growler is not yet on this site)
    25 different beers from 20 different breweries
    7 total wants (sorry I couldn't hit more, but I think you'll appreciate these boxes anyway)
    2 pieces of swag matching 2 of the included breweries

    Boxes should go out tomorrow afternoon. Looks like a Friday delivery after their cross-country voyage. I hope I don't disappoint, but then again I'm not too worried because I can SWTFIW. Prepare your anu--I mean porch.

    to clarify, i didnt not say the street name was named after odb. since the package is being delivered today, this hint should give it away: each member of the wutang clan has their name, and then a number of nicknames. this particular member, the rza, has at least 5 nicknames, which can be found on wikipedia.

    I would not expect to hear "vacation" and "Des Moines" in the same sentence very often :astonished:

    Target, dropped off the box at FedEx this morning. Your avatar has beer in it, and if you used the slang term for what is being done with that beer, in a different context, it would probably be pretty painful.

    Hello, target. I just got back from FedEx, 59 pounds dropped off and ready to fuck shit up somewhere on the left coast.

    Just dropped off 32# and 250oz of WTF I wanted to. The 12 bottle shipper (11 bottles plus a piece of glassware) should arrive on Wednesday. I was able to hit 5 wants. All bottles have a BA avg rating of 93 with a low of 87 and high of 96

    I'll never tell!

    I was thinking about doing some sort of weird "put together the tracking number from these hints" idea for my target, but that is just too much work.

    Hint 1: I am shipping east​
    Hint 2: My target HAS STILL NOT POSTED IN THIS THREAD - STILL...as of 8/07 at 9:12AM!!!!​
    Hint 3: My targets state had at least one player suspended (pending appeals of course) from its professional baseball team yesterday​
    Hint 4: It appears that your planning borad meeting was cancelled last month.​
    Hint 5: The first international sports hero born in my targets state was born in 1763.​
    Hint 6: Although I can only hit 3 of my targets wants, I will still hit about 7-8 percent of all of thier wants.​
    Hint 7: My target has a beer related avatar.​
    Hint 8: I know my target does not know who he is seeing as though he is yet to makean apperance in this thread.

    That being said, I am going to SWTFIW. I did manage to hit 2-3 (possibly 4) wants, but I honestly do not remember for sure. I had deja vu to Roger85 when i read his post. 382 total oz., 2 pieces of swag, 45.8lbs, one single box. Mostly 12 ozer, 8 cans, and only 2 bombers. Hope you like it!​

    To my sender: i have this narrowed down to 21 possibilities, and I have one highllighted as the front runner right now.​
