Thread Name: Folklore: Moonshine
Subject: RE: BS: Moonshine
Yeah, I had an experience with honest-to-God moonshine about a month ago. We were at this blackpowder rendezvous in Illnois, my buddy and me. So, Saturday night, this fellow, named Whiskey Jim comes by our camp bringing a Mason jar, and his guitar. We start singing songs and fiddling tunes and he passes this Mason jar of clear liquid around. And you know what? It wasn't half bad. Would have been real good if it had been aged in a charred oak barrel for a few years. But like I said, it wasn't bad just straight out of the jar. Come to find out, that's how Whiskey Jim got his moniker. One of his hobbies is making whiskey. He doesn't sell it, and only makes a few gallons at a time just for the fun of it. So, he's technically legal.
