WTF Are People Saying
katacalysm on I Have to Fix My Bike Cha… william on Geek House william on Geek House maxim on Geek House freakconformist on Check Out That Grill
Fist!
I think I know this song
Is that Nixon on top?
I like the flowers. Moonshine will kill you, but it will be in a happy and fairly innocent way.
But its only the “ends” of the moonshine that blinds u, and that’s poured off prior to the bottling…
@me
.
Fun fact i have 2 fist
Well now…there’s a legal moonshine brewery on Prince Edward Island in Canada.
Srsly…
@Identity Crisis
Legal moonshine? I would have thought that was a contradiction in terms, although not as much as a huge midget.
Lol. My friend is fermenting moon shine in his basement.
but it gets you so drunk..
When you hear “Deliverance” you know it’s a’comin’ down the street!
Oh well, I guess the illiterate ones will suffer when they see the van dive past and point out that it looks like a cheap hearse with an advertisement on the top.
Roflmao. It seriously took me a couple of minutes to understand what was on the side. I thought it was saying that moonshine killed cripples. And the ‘blind’ part was just like an odly placed adjective. Like ‘kill someone dead’ only ‘kill someone blind’ or ‘kills blind’… They should have put in commas!
So, you dont buy MoonShine from the Poison Truck? You were a very, very sad children
Yeah. And the order is a little off too.
“First, moonshine will kill you. Then you’ll be crippled and blinded.”
If someone could please clarify.. is moonshine just whiskey? or does any home-brewed alcohol qualify?
Does this van pick up the bodies up?
@Rocky: I have seen a Dodge A100 van used as a hearse. @Kerrybel: I believe Moonshine is any pure grain alcohol made in a home still, but I’m not sure if it’s all whiskey or not.
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonshine
“Moonshine is any distilled spirit made in an unlicensed still. As with all distilled spirits, yeast ferments a sugar source to produce ethanol, then the alcohol is extracted through distillation using a still.
Because of its illegal nature, moonshine is rarely aged in barrels like bourbon, and it sometimes contains impurities, off flavours [sic], and toxins such as methanol.”
Methanol will blind you. I’ve also heard that moonshine is sometimes distilled in old car radiators which use lead solder and introduce that toxin as well. Also, if moonshine is a “distilled spirit,” home-brewed beer or wine wouldn’t qualify.
From what I’ve been told, it’s legal to make moonshine, but only in small quantities and for personal use.
I’m in NZ, one of the only developed nations where moonshine is legal. Nobody bothers, though.
that is so awesome!
I’m not a cripple or blind….so I’m good, right?
Moonshine will NOT blind you unless it is spiked with unsavory substances. The myth came from when moonshiners would add extra chemicals such as anti freeze and gasoline to increase the content of their liquor, and those were the things that would blind you. Very rarely will acetone or methanol (the heads and tails) hurt you for two reasons. One, when you distill, you wait until the heads are gone before you start collecting. You can tell by the powerful smell. You also stop when the tails begin. Two, you probably can’t stand the horrifying taste and odor of acetone and methanol to begin with.
Also, some guy said ‘my friend is fermenting moonshine in his basement.’ This is false. First you ferment the beer/wine (which is legal in the United States) and then you distill it (a type of ulta slow boil) which IS illegal.
Another myth: Stills explode. This is false. No still will ever explode, because it never contains pressure of any kind. It’s completely open to the outside air pressure.
Myth: You can distill your own alcohol to run in your E80 car. Actually, this is completely true. You can even use the heads and tails and add them to the regular gasoline. However, ethanol, once touted as the great solution to the (greatly exaggerated) energy crisis, is perfectly soluble with water, which can cause great damage to your engine, reduce your fuel efficiency and end up costing you much more in the end.
Anyway, I hope everyone feels a little more educated.
