It's missing the reference to a plastic jug of tequila or Kentucky bourbon though.

With the full moon & lunar eclipse, only moonshine would fill the bill tonight.

Redundant. Lunar eclipse will suffice.

I think car could be substituted for pickup in this case...especially if we're talking about a Trans-Am or '69 Charger.

All lunar eclipses occur during a full moon. Every single one of them. No such thing as a crescent, gibbous, first quarter, last quarter, or new moon, lunar eclipse.

However, a full moon CAN occur without a lunar eclipse. And there was a full moon before and after the event.

It's possible (I'm not going to look it up) that under a very strict definition, a "full moon" lasts only an instant. The moon would be a waxing gibbous the instant earlier and a waning gibbous an instant after.

Of course...just like a solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon.

Correct. It happens quite often. Ten to thirteen times a year, usually eleven per year.

As well as during the event. The moon was still in its full phase during the entire eclipse.

Correct.

OK. Maybe redundant was the wrong word. "With the full moon & lunar eclipse" is kind of like saying, "I've got a five cent nickel (referring to 21st century American coins). I'm sure that mbyron will be along shortly to tell us what was wrong, if anything, with the statement, "With the full moon & lunar eclipse".
