Roundup from the police blotter.

A Smith County man busted for making his own liquor claims he was inspired by the cable TV series, ”Moonshiners,” authorities said.

Helpfully, the HouChron story includes an embedded commercial for “Moonshiners”.

“I don’t want to sound like I’m a chemist or anything, but the first alcohol that comes off the still is going to be a methane gas,” Stokke said. “You can’t drink it, and it’s probably more flammable than gasoline.”

Huh? Is he perhaps talking about methanol, not methane gas?

In other news: I really haven’t been paying attention to the trial of John Goodman (mostly because he seems to be FARK’s favorite d’bag, so my coverage would be redundant), but I am happy to report that he has been found guilty of vehicular homicide and DUI manslaughter. More coverage here. I’m hoping he gets the full 30 years and does every day of that time.
