Subject: RE: Origins: What a Jimmy-john is? (from Green Corn)
jimmie john is my nickname
a jimmie-john aka demi-john is a vessel for moonshine aka corn etc etc
we had one when i was a kid made out of earthware covered in woven straw
the bluegrass song goes: hot corn cold corn bring along the demi-john but at times it sounds like jimmie-john
also i believe that jimmie johnson (no kin) is the only coach to win an NCAA college championship and a Super Bowl
