You don't get moonshine at a "roadside stop."


You do if the trucker you'er hitchin' a ride with knows the locals.

Ah so... that's different. Always possible to luck into it.

I've had several friends who were bootleggers, and occasionally took a
taste when offered... more to be polite than anything else. Not-so-good
moonshine tastes like paint thinner mixed with battery acid. Good
moonshine is palatable. Really good moonshine tastes vaguely reminiscent
of Karo syrup, leaves a tingling at the back of the throat (probably a
scorched spot that's instantly anaesthetized).

If it doesn't get you drunk, then why drink it? To fulfill a religious vow?

The good stuff doesn't taste so bad. All of it should numb your mouth so
quick you barely taste it anyway... although it may be that you can
still feel the burn!

I've never been a fan drinking huge quantities of hard liquor either...
except on rare occasions when it's justified.

DSK thinks hard liquor includes Smirnoff Ice.

I have no idea what that is.

My idea of hard liquor is anything over 40% alcohol. I like a nice
single malt Scotch, but very rarely more than two over the course of an
evening. I also like Irish whiskey... used to always keep Bushmills in
stock but lately I've come to prefer Powers Gold.

(hint hint- Christmas is coming)

heh heh... no... if I drank two bottles of Irish whiskey in one evening,
you probably wouldn't want me around. One bottle makes me start singing.

I'll be the judge of that. So far I've never drunk anything over 100
proof
that was "a sipping" liquor. The taste of any libation comes from the
part
that is not ethanol, not the ethanol itself. Ergo Lambs would no doubt
have
better flavor if the ethanol were reduced to a reasonable level. Spiking
a
recipe with more ethanol is akin to adding water to bourbon, in terms of
taste.

Aw-w-w-w..... here we go again..... excuses for a delicate palate

And what, exactly, does that have to do with booze tolerance??

Setting precedence on a variety of things we're much better at than you

MN women are more like Klingon females--they take matters into their own
hands, er rather teeth.

From my forays into the USA... calling your womenfolk Kilingon would be a
compliment.


Really? Why then do they behave so similarly to the Frogs?

...and they blame the French for it.

Where did you get that *informative* piece? On the back label of a Lambs
bottle?

Oh no... it's a well known fact


Not that any *young* lady would allow such a thing from an old fart, such
as
yourself. Imagination and dreams are wonderful things, however. :-)


Ah.... another victim of the belief in aging.... think young and avoid

Around here we call her "Katy bar the door." Or is it "Bar the door,
it's
Katy?"

I'm bettin' on the latter...

One learns self-defense from personal experiences.

Is that so wrong?

It's neither right nor wrong.... it's a logical assumption based on
available data.

Data? That robot on ST-TNG?

Hmmm. That photo must have been taken a few decades ago, eh? :-)

One decade....

It belongs right where it is... in your neck of the woods. I want a 3 foot
