A few years ago at our place up near the Red River we had some folks over and were having a few drinks and my neighbor brought some "shine" that he had got over in SE Oklahoma..anyway I had bought a new jug of Johnny Walker Red and was mixing it with Swepps Soda....after the second drink I got up to go pee and fell flat on my butt!..Seems as though the "shine" was in a Swepps Soda bottle as well and I had been mixing a fairly large cut of scotch and then topping it off with "shine". Not recommended....but they still are telling that story around those parts...

Finally the Presidential pardon power being put to a good use.
I certainly hope the pardon will allow these tow good men to resume their lives and business. Does anyone know if the pardon included the return of their confiscated property? The still.
Taxing whiskey is downright unAmerican. Hell, taxing good whiskey is an abomination.

Kellynia, you ain't never had good shine. I have had some that made Jim Beam taste like camel pi$$. Clear as mountain spring water. Smooth as silk and sweeter than honey. Wonderful stuff if made right.

They shouldn't even have been arrested.

It is going to be a race to see if his bulk will take him down or up. He is closing in on Blimp size.

I got my hands on a bad batch once and the day after was the worst hangover a man could have, damn near thought I'd die. Learned my lesson: know your sources else deal with the contents of someone's radiator.

My Tennessee Granddaddy used to keep some behind the seat of his pickup. Warned me to never tell my teetotallin' Southern Baptist Grandma. Said she would skin him.
I miss him so much.

I would guess that George W. Bush is a fan of George Jones. Unless they poison people, moonshiners are good people. And who doesn't hate revenuers?Heck, all the revenooers would do is fine ya.
We made blue lightning in Saudi Arabia. If caught the HUSBAND went to the hoosegow for a spell and the wife got sent home. :o)
Who said life was bad over there for women? Lol.

Geez, I was talking last Friday to a coworker who hails from western North Carolina, says his family's been `makin' moon' for 200 years. I said that's a line from 1957's "Thunder Road". He replied that that the tanker ran on the same stuff sold from the tank.
Guess so.
