How to Mail Beer Across the Country Like a Pro. I really like beer. No, I really like beer. That means I’m constantly on the hunt for beers I can’t get in my current hometown of San Francisco and broker deals with buddies to mail me goods from across the country in exchange for sending them a few bottles of local stuff from the west coast.

Over the course of the past decade, I’ve probably mailed 1. United States. Of all those shipments, I’ve only had one mishap: a crushed can that managed to slowly explode and soak a box. Luckily for me, and the recipient of the box that happened to be a friend of mine, the beer- soaked box was still delivered, although a few weeks later than planned (my guess being so it could dry and still, you know, be a box). In contrast, I’ve had a number of boxes sent to me with broken beer (the saddest thing in the world) inside.

Through all those packages I’ve come up with a few tips for success. Line Your Box with a Garbage Bag. Accidents happen. What you don’t want to happen is for a small accident like a crushed can or broken bottle to soak your box, cause it to break, and result in a whole box of lost items. For that, I recommend lining your box first (just as if you were putting it in a garbage can) with a plastic garbage bag. Sure, it’s not unstoppable, but it gives you an extra line of defense in case the worst happens.

Also, a plastic bag means that if the box does get soaked it will be harder for individual bottles to fall out. Some beer trading message boards also recommend using a smaller box inside a box when you mail beer. Watch I Am David Online Mic. I’ve never tried that personally (or had it done with beer sent to me), but if you happen to have two similarly- sized boxes available, it wouldn’t be the worst idea.

Line the Sides of Your Box with Bubble Wrap. Since I do this a lot, I have a TON of bubble wrap readily available in my house. If you don’t, then using crumpled up newspaper or packing peanuts can have the same effect. The goal is to have a line of defense around the sides and bottom and top of your box. This box is absolutely going to get tossed around. Don’t let your beer be right up against the sides. Wrap Individual Bottles with Bubble Wrap or Newspaper.

No matter how careful you are, if you’re not diligent it’s easy for your inbox to spiral out of control. And when it gets too full, you end up missing the emails. Stuart Little 2 (2002) Stuart's mother is being over-protective of him, especially when he narrowly escapes injury in a soccer game. His big brother George has also.

Sean Bell, Actor: Bulletproof Monk. Sean Bell was born on December 22, 1970 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada as Sean H. Bell. He is an actor, known for Bulletproof Monk. She's on a mission to find Mr. Right on The Bachelorette Australia. And Sophie Monk could be edging closer to finding love, after she was seen flirting up a storm.

Of the few dozen broken packages I’ve gotten over time, the majority of them happened because someone didn’t wrap each bottle in its own. DO NOT just put a 6 pack in a box and mail it to someone. It will break. The person you sent it to will hate you.

The mailman will hate you. It’s a waste of good beer. Don’t be that guy. The place where bottles are going to break is at the neck.

Wrap the heck out of it (and the whole bottle). The best way to do this is with (a lot of) bubble wrap secured with a rubber band. If you don’t have bubble wrap, then you need something that’s going to keep the neck of the bottle protected.

Think to yourself: “If I dropped this on the floor, would it break?” If the answer is yes or maybe, then you need to wrap it better. Seriously. If I’m mailing 1. I sometimes pack them in freezer bags as well. It doubles up the water protection, and I can shove a lot of newspaper in the bag as an extra layer of protection.

If you’re really fancy, you can buy these sleeves made for wine that will keep individual bottles secure. There are also a lot of styrofoam setups for mailing wine. They’re a bit pricey IMO for a one- time shipment, but if you’re trading regularly with the same friend then they could be a good investment and something you could use over and over again to send back and forth. Keep It Tight. When you seal the box up, you want to make sure nothing is moving inside. When stacking bottles I recommend going top to bottom. So the top of one bottle is next to the bottom of another and packing them on their side, not up and down.

Ideally, you want to have an additional layer of protection (not just the bubble wrap surrounding the bottles) between each bottle. That busted can incident I mentioned earlier? It came from me thinking “Oh, a can won’t break” and putting it next to a bottle that crushed it mid- journey.

Don’t be me. Before you seal the top, give the box a little shake and make sure there’s no movement. If there is, stuff some more bubble wrap/newspaper in there.

Protect those cans just like bottles, and think about situations where they might get crushed. Tape Every Part of the Box. Beer is heavy. It’s best to just presume that your box isn’t going to make it and reinforce it with tape. I’m not saying cover the box with tape, but make sure to reinforce the seals at the top and bottom of the box with tape in case the glue gives out while it’s being tossed around.

Don’t Mail Beer in the Summer. Heat is bad news for beer and the summer is hot. At some point of your box’s journey (or most of it), it’s going to be sitting in a hot warehouse or on a hot truck.. That’s going to hurt your beer. Save your beer trading for autumn and winter when the temperatures are cool, your beer and its recipient will appreciate it.

Know the Rules. USPS doesn’t allow you to mail alcohol. USPS flat rate boxes are pretty great, and let you mail anything you can fit in a box across the country in two days for not a ton of cash. I will let you use that information how you’d like. Here’s a rundown on what you need to do to mail alcohol using traditional shipping services.

Inform yourself before you show up with a box, not after.

Alien Movies: Bizarre Facts You May Not Know. Alien fans are some of the most passionate there are, and they willingly devour every piece of behind the scenes info they can find. Throughout the franchise’s four- decade history, there have been numerous making of books and documentaries devoted to the films, pouring over nearly every corner of the series and peeling back the curtain for all to see. Fans know all the nasty business behind the making of Alien 3 with David Fincher and his falling out with the studio, they know Prometheus started life as a direct Alien prequel, and that Joss Whedon outright hates Alien: Resurrection. There’s been so much written about the movies it’s almost overwhelming, but with a series with so much history and lore, there’s always something new to discover if you look closer.

Be it revelations from various expanded universe stories, original casting choices, abandoned storylines, or fun little easter eggs planted by the filmmakers, there’s lots of info even major Alien fans might not have discovered yet. With that in mind, let’s explore 1. Cool Alien Series Facts You May Not Know, diving deep into the universe and coming away with some lesser known but fascinating details about the iconic franchise. Hicks Is Alive In Official Canon. The deaths of Hicks and Newt in the opening of Alien 3 is still one of the most controversial decisions in the series, since both characters were fan favorites and it robbed Ripley of her hard- earned victory from the previous movie.

Some fans defend the decision as necessary, but it definitely wasn’t a popular twist. This is why many were eager to see Neill Blomkamp’s proposed Alien 5, which would have (somehow) resurrected both characters and reunited them with Ripley. That movie looks unlikely to move ahead now, but one detail that many seem to overlook is that Hicks has already been resurrected through the canon video game sequel, Colonial Marines.

This poorly received game takes place months after Aliens and reveals that Hicks was awoken from hypersleep before the events of the third movie. He went on to fight with Weyland- Yutani forces, and someone else took his place in the pod. Despite resurrecting an iconic character, the game was so reviled by fans they tend to discount the entire thing, despite 2. Century Fox making its story canonical. Ripley’s Nosebleed Came From A Deleted Scene.

Many fans are confused about Ripley’s mystery nosebleed in Alien during the scene where Ash tries to kill her, mainly because it seems to come on with no obvious cause. This is because the scene was intended to follow a major setpiece that wasn’t filmed, where the crew make a failed effort to blast the creature into space. The sequence was supposed to take place between Dallas’ disappearance and Ripley’s scene with Mother, and featured Parker spotting the creature near an airlock.

He contacts Ripley on the bridge and they try to lure it into the airlock with a flashing light. Then an alarm sounds that scares it away, and in a panic, it receives a cut that bleeds acid on the door. This causes a hole that depressurizes the ship, causing the crew to bleed from the nose and ears. The bridge scenes for this sequence were shot but the rest was left unfilmed, and Ripley’s nosebleed during the Ash fight was supposed to show that she was still suffering aftereffects of the breach. Oddly enough, Ripley having a nosebleed became a recurring theme, with the character receiving one in each of her four franchise outings. The Harpoon Gun Is Still There.

James Cameron is a noted perfectionist, and his attention to detail is legendary. He made sure to study the original Alien closely to make sure his sequel matched it, right down to the smallest details that only hardcore fans would even think to look for. During the finale of Alien, Ripley blasts the creature with a harpoon gun, sending the beast out into space. The gun gets lodged in the door before it clears the ship, though, forcing Ripley to blast it with the engines. When recreating the lifepod set for Aliens, Cameron and his crew must have gone over this scene with forensic detail, because if you look closely, when the salvage team is cutting through the door, the harpoon gun can still be seen lodged in it.

It’s something most people won’t even notice, but it’s the kind of obsessive feature that made Cameron one of the most important directors in the genre. Peter Mayhew Was Considered For The Titular Role. Ridley Scott was desperate to keep the title beast from looking like a dude in a rubber suit, and he went to great lengths to film it in unusual ways.

Armed with H. R. Giger’s memorable design, he decided he needed an actor or stunt performer with a large, thin frame to portray the creature. He looked at various mimes and basketball players during development, and he even considered Peter Mayhew, who was fresh off of playing Chewbacca for the first time.

He eventually settled on Bolaji Badejo, a six- foot- ten- inch actor who was discovered in a pub. His incredible lean frame is exactly what the crew were looking for, so he was hired to bring the Xenomorph to life. Badejo admits that he had a hard time playing the role, since he couldn’t see or hear very well, and Scott would often ask him to perform movements that were nearly impossible to pull off with the suit. While he ultimately had fun playing the creature, he never acted again, and he sadly passed away in 1. Chow Yun Fat Turned Down A Role Written Especially For Him. Hong Kong superstar Chow Yun- fat became popular with western audiences thanks to his work in John Woo movies like The Killer and Hard Boiled.

He was cool, he was suave, and he looked great with a gun in each hand and diving over stuff in slow motion. The actor made a concentrated effort to crack Hollywood in the mid- nineties, starring in action vehicles like The Replacement Killers, The Corruptor, and Bulletproof Monk. During this period, he was also up for a supporting role in Alien: Resurrection during pre- production, playing the role of mercenary Christie. Christie is another ice cool figure armed with a gun in each hand, but the actor’s manager wasn’t impressed with the size of the role and turned it down on his behalf. Gary Dourdan, meanwhile, took over the part and made Christie into one of the most interesting characters in the film. Unfortunately, none of Yun- Fat’s solo star vehicles clicked with American viewers, and the actor eventually returned to making films in China.

Michael Biehn Made More Money From Alien 3 Than Aliens. Alien 3 had a famously tortured development cycle, resulting in many different scripts being written. The studio wasn’t sure that they could convince Sigourney Weaver to return for a third onscreen adventure, so they had scripts focusing on Hicks and Newt, or entirely new characters. Watch The Devil`S Brigade Online. Hicks actor Michael Biehn quickly made peace with the fact that he wasn’t in the movie, though he was furious when he learned of a planned dream sequence that would have seen an Alien burst from his dead body.

He called his agent and threatened to sue if the scene was shot, so it was scrapped before filming. He later received a call from the studio asking his permission to use a photo, which was needed because Hicks’ body is unrecognizable in the movie. Biehn has noted – with some amusement – that he made more money off of this grainy still than his entire salary for Aliens, where he was a last- minute replacement for another actor (James Remar, who was fired shortly after filming had commenced). Resurrection’s Impossible Basketball Shot Was For Real. Sigourney Weaver was clearly having a blast playing Ripley 8, who was an alien/human hybrid cloned from the original heroine. This clone character was less haunted than the original character, and she certainly wasn’t opposed to the occasional joke or sassy one- liner.
