Gladstone,I love your work. But, I take offense to your comment about 1930s Hobos and Moonshine. Contrary to what your health class teacher taught you, it won't cause blindness and it's the tastiest hard alcohol you'll ever cause memory loss with. Also, $3 an ounce is a huge ripoff; pay anything over $25 a quart and you're getting screwed.

If it's done wrong (read: has methanol in it because it wasn't distilled properly) then it can cause blindness. Still, if it's done right, then it's no less poisonous than regular high-proof alcohol.
I grew up in the Virginia mountains, and have had a few sips of the ol' mountain dew myself. Berry flavored is interesting. Stuff has quite a kick to it.
i dont see what the big deal is it was probably an old lady taking care of the kids while her dumbass son was sellin shit and makin some extra cash its not like the kids were doin drugs and that shot of the marijuana looked like a bag of seeds to me...
Six misdemeanors, INCLUDING a felony? Don't you mean AND a felony? Or did they change the laws in North Carolina so that you can be charged with both a misdemeanor and a felony at the same fucking time?
OMG I live in NC. I am scared and disturbed.
p.s. I had no idea anyone made/bought moonshine anymore. Why would they? prohibition ended years ago. they...DO know that, don't they?
The BBC has started doing this nonsense recently. The incessant puns and bad low-budget graphic effects are disgracefully tabloidish (which they display with pride, "Our graphic artists have created something to show us what flu particles look like", despite its marked similarities to what their 'graphic artists' feel represents diesel particles, dust particles and anything else particular).
You know, I was about to come down here and post about you not being funny, but I gotta hand it to you, I at least chuckled during that last kicker. Also, you're a fucking dumbass, go to Kentucky and start making fun of the "non existent" moonshine business.

3. You make moonshine wrong, it will fucking kill you
Gladstone,
That was a funny comment you made about "1930s cartoon hobos", but I am from North Carolina, and I can tell you that running a 'shine still is indeed a lucrative business here in the tobacco belt. You might have to travel outside the city limits to find it, but it's a more readily-available commodity than you might think. I'm not sure why it's illegal though. If it's legal to buy liquor, why is it illegal to make it?
Hilarious man. i mean, wow, day care, moonshine, firearms and pot. what more could you want? its one stop shopping for a bit of piece and quiet for a parrent. if none of those "what will i do without the kids around" items entices you, we are happy to annouce a pirate movie, pornography, and video game section to our selections in the near future.
As per usual great segment. However I for one am shocked that you did not pick up on the last comment made by the reporter. "they were charged with six Misdemeanors INCLUDING a Felony. I cannot elaborate on why that is wrong as it would make me stupider.
Er...dukieduke...when did the value of pi become "between 2 and 3"? Last I heard it was between 3 and 4. Did they change it? Did Mister Johnson's machine work?
That was a Terry Pratchett joke, people. Going Postal. Bloody Stupid Johnson and the New Pi. Try to keep up, please.
Bukra, it's not jango or janko. It's jenkem. It's a drug that kids are supposedly using, where they pee or shit into a two liter coke bottle, put a balloon over the top, and let it ferment. The balloon is supposed to catch the gas that builds up, then they inhale it.
Kids are fucking crazy.
"Listen, I don't know what kind of janko-puffing third world nightmare you live in, but I've never heard of anyone outside of a 1930's cartoon hobo drinking or selling 'moonshine'."
Seriously, I could not stop laughing at that (the Norman Rockwell hobo was a nice touch, btw). And, as an aside, is that janko-puffing or jango-puffing? I get the meaning but have no idea what Gladstone said there.
Moonshine is alive and well. Sorry to dampen your credibility.

It's still out there and it's harder than the stuff you can usually buy. It was around before prohibition, too.
