    There are at least 2 or 3 boxes already on their way! This BIF has the makings of being EPIC.

    As did mine! I can now hit 4 of my target's wants. Hopefully this encourages everyone to keep updating!

    So far there has been 202 messages in this thread and i do not believe my target has posted their dear santa letter yet. Their wants lists also looks like it needs to be touched up a bit, maybe take those cob webs off and clean it up a little.....

    HINT!! - My target updated his wants in the past 3 days and now I am unpacking my box to make room for more! :grinning:

    Also, I will be shipping out Monday. Hope someone with a beer related avatar is getting ready for this one!

    To Santa

    I am a bit late to the game this year. I may look like a hard target. Nothing could be further from the truth. I enjoy almost any style of beer. Glassware and Tshirts are great. T shirt size is a xxx. Yes I need to put the beer and chezburgers down and walk around the block about 40 times. :slight_smile:

    A note to my target. I have your chimney firmly in my sites. I have several great beers already being pulled from my cellar. Several bottles from Ohio are actually on your wants list. To put it mildly I hope you have been a good boy as I will not be shipping any coal.

    Last hint - my target's box will start a journey of +1,700 miles on Monday. It contains red wax, black wax, corks, cages, 16oz cans, and various other things...

    Edit : boxes

    Box has been repacked now with 9 Wants for my target including many BA goodies. Getting close to the 300 oz mark too. Hmmm how much more can I fit? I wonder if my target knows who he is yet?

    You would think if you took some Elderly Hoodlums and crammed them into a barrel, they would not be pleased. Turns out, they just turn delicious, as my target will find out.

    The flag of my target's state has text on it. The text says nothing about beer.

    Still o letter from Santa from my target, but will be hitting a number of wants. Visited my target's state in October, and plan another trip next year.

    Sure hope they haven't forgot Santa, and leave some cookies on the mantle.

    My target has a # in their BA name. I've got a little work to do, so it'll be next Monday before I send.

    Waiting on a certain stormy brew to arrive next week and should be able to ship out the following Monday. My target lives in a city that has teams in all professional sports, the ones that count anyway. He should really consider adding to his wants list, its limited to say the least.

    Since I am shipping tomorrow this will probably be my last hint! My target lives in a state where beer flows like wine and women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. Cheers!

    Will likely be shipping sometime mid-week - waiting for a few goodies first.

    A certain "strange" bird from FAAAAR east will be joining the other beers in the box as they make their way to a rather wet state (not necessarily weather-wise).

    I've been too busy beer shopping and not very good at posting hints, so I'll give two.

    My box(es) will be shipping out west to a person who joined BA after me.

    Let's get those hints going guys/gals!

    Hint: (Sum of the years that the first five presidents took office) + (ABV of Black Tuesday) + (968.8).

    Huh?

    Ok her is my hint...I think

    The worst year in baseball history (no need for the 19 in front of the year) minus the amount of beer I drank today, not ounces, just bottles.

    Hints, Hints, FINALLY HINTS!!!
    My target is a little less than 900 miles from me and has been on BA one year less than me.
    *They joined in the same month
    The "boxes" are coming together nicely and I currently have 9 wants in hand including several 3F goodies.

    Cheers
