"Moonshine" Moron 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
On February 26, 2000, Jeff Tuerlings, a resident of McCleese Lake died. He had imbibed a large amount of what he thought was moonshine, and really was Hydrochloride--Cyclobenzaprine I think, which is a muscle relaxant I believe, he sure looked relaxed after. Either that kind or phenylpropanolamine, which causes a hemorrhagic stroke: bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain--Jeff was a fond viewer of the Darwin awards, and I'm sure he would be proud to be seen here. I was his friend, and even I find it funny how he died. Don't get me wrong, I was sad, but it is still a funny way to go. The best part is that he was sober when he found the bottle, saved it for a week, and brought it to a party. He and several friends (myself not one of them) proceeded to do shots of the "moonshine". They all were rushed to the hospital after collapsing unconcious within minutes of drinking it. Jeff did the most shots, so he won, but lost--everyone but him lived. Guess he wasn't the life of the party after all. haha.
