    I have posted it in the ISO/FT and some people recommend me to post here too.

    My buddy just went through a terrible accident. He doesn't need any help from me but I still hope to do something for him. I will send my Bourbon Dark Lord for someone who can send him a very well thought beer package. It can be anything sour, stout, ipa, flander, unrated beer....Here is his want list at the starting point.

    Please let me know main detail of the package you intend to send ( I hope to avoid some conversation like I have beer X, Y, and Z on his want list...). When you start the conversation with me please include thehuntmaster so he can read it.This is to help him in this tough time so no negotiation needed.

    Also, he resides in South Africa so you do have to send it internationally. Usually it costs $60 for a USPS Priority flat rate box ( can fit 3-4 bomber) or more if you use your own box. You can try to estimate the shipping at:

    Also, please be patient since he lives in different time zone and he needs to recover.

    Here is his story:
    "
    I was woken up at 3 AM on Monday morning by a loud crash, I sat up and put the light on only to see 3 armed men (they each had 9mm pistols and apparently there was another man outside with something more powerful) standing in my room. They told me if I moved they would kill me and then tied a blanket around my face and put a gun to my head. They demanded to know where all the valuables were etc. Two of the men then went through my room taking everything of value (wallet, ID, computers, cell phone, digital cameras and all the lenses and for some unknown reason a textbook on pure mathematics :confused:) while the other stood next to me tapping his gun on my head. Once they had taken everything from my room they started discussing whether to go to my mom's room first or to my sister's. Thankfully my mom heard this and pushed the alarm button, they pushed me over against the wall and ran out. It is a miracle that they did not shoot me when the alarm went off as that happens fairly often in this area. It is also a miracle that I was not hurt in any way, almost all armed robberies in this area have a shooting or some torture at the very least. I am also incredibly thankful that they came into my room and not my sisters as **** is probably the most common crime in South Africa (made worse by the fact that 50% of our population has HiV)!"
