A ridge runner or more commonly referred to as a moonshiner, was typically a man from the South during the prohibition era (1928-1940) who transported illegal whiskey (moonshine) made in various still sites (outdoor breweries) to local and long distance customers. They were often persued by local police and sheriff's departments in addition to Federal agents, known as "Revenuers" who enforced prohibition laws. Ridge runners were skilled lead foot drivers who knew the roads like the back of their hands. They drove across wide open fields, pastures, and wooded terrain to shake the law, run their shine, and turn a nice profit. Watch a few episodes of the old Dukes of Hazzard and you can't miss the term. Thanks for reading. :-)
That ridge runner is supposed to be here any minute with a whole trunkload of fine sippin shine. Get the money ready...and bring the shotgun if he needs any help.

Get the 400m Runner mug.The main character of homestarrunner.com that has a speech inpediment that does not allow him to say "r" properly. He has no arms, wears a red t-shirt with a star on it, and has long legs that appear to end in white shoes with blue bottoms. He is also bleach white with an underbite and black eyes. He wears a beanie cap with a propeller on it, in which he has installed hydraulics, a light, and a song that plays whenever the propellor is spun. Homestar Runner is a teriffic athlete and has a girlfriend named Marzipan, who also has no arms. He lives in Free Country, USA, possibly in the black area on the right of Strong Bad's email answering space. He is not intelligent, but he is in a constant state of bliss, and has never truly been cruel to anyone. Almost everything he says is pure gold.
