there's a post on BA right now where a guy admits to fishing his dark lord out of a porto and then got them stolen

Scanned up-thread, and holy ****, this guy takes beer way too seriously:

Regular BA seemed to be passed over, but it's a safe bet, low risk, low relative hype for the fest, but huge payoff.

But seriously man, what is your friend going to do with $150? Pay a cable or phone bill? Why get a variant at all? At the very least, trade it up, otherwise the suffering through that whole ordeal and all the insanity of the day isn't worth a soggy $150 in place of a guaranteed variant. He should have just not come and saved the potential ticket for someone who cares.
 
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG. This guy is my leading nominee for Golden Neckbeard for outstanding achievement in extreme loss of dignity in pursuit and ultimate loss of a beer everyone hates.
 
I can't quite follow the story enough to determine. he was able to grab the cardboard tote with four beers without incident, but had to "fish the bottle out of the port o potty" for the fifth, but says his variant "didn't fall in."

if he srsly like was digging in the liquid/solid area of the porto for a regular DL I'm floored. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it for a BVDL I dropped in there, but the regular DL would be left there.

idea for 2k17: re-wax empty BVDL bottles, drop them in portos, watch to see if people come out with them.

Executive summary of his post:

with some of the stories about people being black out drunk, miscommunication between friends, forgetting where the tent they were drinking at was located.. how many of these "my beer got stolen" stories are actually "i was so ******* hammered and forgot we drank that/i dropped it/i gave it to some random"?

at least 25%, right?

My group was missing a Vanilla Militia and 4 regular DL when we got back to the hotel but I could definitely be at fault. Like you said, who knows if I dropped them, set them down, chugged them on the walk back to the car, etc. As I said to someone else, if you're gonna get blackout drunk then losing some bottles is just a cost of doing business. I had way too much awesome beer this weekend at the hotel, in the compound, and hanging out in line that being upset over 5 missing bottles of dark lord really wouldn't make a lot of sense.

I think he had the cardboard tote and variant in the cloth tote bag and when the bag fell over the cardboard + 4 bottles fell in?
 
I got a couple pours, then got into the ridiculous food line to order one of everything and spend the rest of our tickets. Dark Lord ice cream is... interesting.

I really wanted to try that ice cream. But I was already so ******* soaked and wet and cold I couldn't even fathom getting colder eating ice cream. Interesting bad? or interesting good?

Sweet, chocolately, spicy, much dark fruit. It came in a Ben and Jerry's like container and I don't live too far from FFF so I just put it in my bag and took it home to re-freeze.
 
Guys, guys, guys!

There's a dude on BA that has the perfect solution to the problem of people having their bottles stolen:

I've reached out to Three Floyds with my potential solution and sincerely hope they take me up on it if they continue with this year's format:

I've proposed a "locker-type" arrangement where we'd be located on festival grounds providing a glorified coat-check operation that would allow for a safe and secure place to store one's goods for the day. Everything would be categorized and held under lock and key. In order to keep everything in order, your ticket number would be tagged on your belongings and required to pick them up later in the day. A premium service would be provided that would transport the remaining items to major cities around IN and IL the next day; stopping at key POPs (points of pick-ups
).

I think I've been to a brewery release that did this. I just can't remember who it was.
