"Bullet head wrestler and ex-marine repo"? You mean Lizard Lick towing? I really believed he got stabbed in front of a film crew too. Next I'll hear that Santa isn't real.
I still like that one. It's the closest thing I can find to Springer.

I could be wrong on this but I believe alcohol must be transported in its original factory container with the seal unbroken. In Ohio, transporting a bottle thats been opened could land you an open container ticket.



Hey Top one of these days I'm gonna come visit. I've always wanted to learn the ropes on running a small still. For novelty of course..

makes sense transporting it, but in the episode I saw last night they were raiding a house. If officer Joe see a decanter of clear liquor, how do you prove its legal vodka and not illegal shine?

The show is about selling commercial time.

Why would a 'shiner' set all those milk jugs out to fill when all he needed was ONE, big tank to haul it to some second place and then part it out!

The producers think we are stupid or that we haven't already done it-- oops.
Gotta go now!

the best way is to put some cut up peaches or grapes in it while you are cooking it, nice taste. when you put fruit in it afterwords it can get nasty over time. You know those guys are legal and realy doing it on there property, paying taxes and all, and that one boy should stop "testing" the product, he just aint right

^^agree, painful when he fell on the truck-ouch!

(kinda fun to watch, need subtitles..)

fronty, 'shine shimmers /vodka is clear. and scent- shine has strong shoe polish scent. vodka is isopropyl alcohol ...scent.

no need to taste, experience you can easily tell the difference.
