Howdy y'all, Funny , you should ask ... There was a time back in the late '90s; a fella moved into the studio apartment next to mine; in the fall, he would sit out on the small porch in a lawn chair and drink out of a small, plain mason jar. Late one Saturday morning, I was headed out to 'I'm not sure where' and I asked him what he was drinking. He mentioned that his uncle (from the low country) made 'shine' ... he called it swamp root / swamp water. He offered another small mason jar ... I drank. Suuh-weeet ambrosia. I drank more ... more ... I'm startin' to feel purty damn good ... ...BLANK... ... next morning ... I woke up on my mattress, in my birthday suit, sheets and comforter location unknown (to this day), and the front door wide open. I was later told that I had a heckuva swell time. ad --- On Sun, 9/26/10, Bruce Hershenson <[email protected]> wrote:

That's pretty much what my fervant imagination figured. Allen Day hails from the part of the country where they grow swamp root, so I figure there is a good chance he too will have a tale to tell!

I have a dim recollection of making out with Stanley Kubrick in the balcony of the Orpheum in San Francisco during the second half of the film where stuff got all weird. The therapy bills over the years have been staggering. Never touched the stuff again. Tom Martin, however, is obviously still strung out like a wild Comanche on Dr. Kilmer's concoction. Jesus, just look at his spelling.

If I had to guess, I would think that among MoPo members, it would likely be Tom Martin, Allen Day or Greg Douglas who might have a personal relationship with Swamp Root, but I welcome input from anyone -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 28 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
