The "Evaluation" LIF

This is a bit of a piggy back on Fortsambos “Life is good” LIF yesterday. I just completed a performance evaluation for a new job I started about 8 months ago. It was a tough decision when I decided to take this job because it was a big step up in workload, responsibility, and involved me commuting to work. Nevertheless, the job is working out great, and despite maybe spending too much time on BA, I was happy to receive a great evaluation and will be receiving a modest raise. I would like to share my happiness with a BA in the form of a humble LIF.

The winner will receive a bottle of Avery Uncle Jacobs Stout, A 2012 Sucaba, and my current favorite brew RR Sanctification batch 006.

Here are the rules:

The winner will not be required to start another LIF, but it would be cool if he/she did if they have some great news in the future. Anyone in the continental US is eligible, along with people who may have had these beers before. They’re not that special, but they are delicious brews. You must drink the brews yourself or with a group. Obviously if you don’t like sours or BA beers you should not play.

You must provide at least one answer to the first part of this challenge. YOU MUST ANSWER VIA BM FOR THIS PART. Anyone answering this part in the thread will be disqualified.

I have “evaluated” 5 BA’s that I’ve recently traded or communicated with (don’t worry if you’re listed, they’re all positive evals!). The evaluations are a single sentence, along with a grade. These evaluations have been posted in comment sections across the web under various articles. Where a username is needed, I have used my BA username unless otherwise noted. I’ll start out with a hint of their location/subject of the article and will provide further hints if needed.

The first person to BM all 5 of the evaluations will automatically win the LIF. The users listed below are eligible for the competition unless I BM’d you otherwise. Please use only one BM containing all of your answer(s).

GoldenChild – Article about an ugly looking avian

Adamdd – Article about the pro day of a player widely considered the 3rd best QB prospect in this coming draft. This website is known for their college recruiting coverage. Posted under the username sju54

Jampics2 – Local article about a sketchy way to get time off work

Mobius387 – Article about a recent solar event. Same website as GoldenChild’s eval

Derkfromwi – Article about some expensive gadgets I still can’t afford. Posted under username AK, be sure to sort by newest comments.

Alternative way to win:

Now, this is kind of hard, IMO, so I’m going to give some easier to guess questions as well if you don't want to scour the internet. The first person to BM me one of the correct evaluations AND correctly answer 4 of the 5 questions below will win. In the event of a tie I will send each person a box. One guess per hint. You may post the answers to these questions in the thread.

1.) What is my favorite University?
2.) Where will I be on October 6th, 2012?
3.) What kind of car do I drive? (Make & Model)
4.) I recently visited a brewery, which one?
5.) What is my favorite DIPA?

First hint: My favorite University is not in Colorado

REMEMBER, EVALUATION ANSWERS MUST BE BM’d. DON’T POST EM IN THE THREAD. GOOD LUCK!

 

adamdd knows too much about me so I had to DQ him. I'll make it up to him in our next trade.

 

Nothing so far.....either this is too hard or no one wants to put in the time. Well, here's a hint!

My username, the article referenced for adamdd, and alternative questions 1 & 2 are all related.

 

Keep up the work. I'm about to head home for the night. It takes me about 75 minutes to drive home. I'll post one more hint before I head out.

 

Last hint for a bit:

The article for jampics2 is posted on the Denver affiliate's website of a major broadcast network.

 

I can't believe no one has BM'd me with at least one so they can start guessing

 

This is still open. Two BAs are very close. No one else has bm'd with a correct answer to start guessing.

Hint: A key word needed in the search for adamdd's reference - this is what you would call the red sox and Yankees
A key word needed in the search for derkfrowi's reference - this is what you call someone who has had too much caffeine

 

We have a winner! Congrats to hopsjunkiedotcom for the hard work! There might be a few extra beers in the box since this was harder than I thought it'd be.
