Is there really-honest-to-gawd such a thing as "Diet Bubba" in the outside world? I just assumed it was only available here at the tavern!
Re Repaires mention of "lightnin'" brewed in a radiator; this is pretty much to the tune of Si Kahn's "Wild Rose of the Mountain" (with Si's permission, so long as I don't try to record it without payin' up:
Me 'n' Sheriff Brown 'n' the Piper
Sheriff Brown came round to see me in a Buick Regal; Said, "That grass is nice and green, but, son, that grass ain't legal"; From the jailhouse telephone, I called a legal eagle; He said, "Friend, you better face it, your defence is feeble".
Chorus: Guess I'll have to do the reapin, 'cause I did the sowin'; If I have t' pay the piper, how much do I owe 'im?
Cooked some corn up in a mash; came back a little later; Ran it through an antique copper Reo radiator; Some skunk told the revenouers where my little still sat; Truth be told, I'm just as glad I missed the one I shot at.
Chorus:
Maggie liked to have some fun, and Maggie was my buddy: We decided all that fun could fetch us in some money; Sheriff Brown showed up again; ( his Regal's gettin' rusty); 'nother month of good behaviour, I can be a trustee...
