Ok. Mind you, if you were actually from Newfoundland, you could easily tell that this wasn't written by a Newfoundlander...damn mainlanders...
I IS A NEWFIE!
Eh Dare,
I am not a roofer or, a fisherman, and I am not collecting Pogey.
I don't live in a rented house with 4 udder newfie friends.
I don't eat Moose meat every day and I don't drive a Ski-doo.
And I don't know Barry, Jimmy or Glenn from Grand Falls although I am certain they are good folk.
I drink Screech or Beer- or anything with a % of alcohol.
I believe in open bars everywhere, and I pronounce it TURBO not TURBOTT.
I can proudly fly my province's flag in the back window of my pickup.
A toque is a hat, fried bologna is a meal.
And the COD is a proud and noble FISH!
And it is pronouced TREE, not THREE....TREE!
Newfoundland is the last member of confederation,
the 1st province of fishing,
and the best part of the Atlantic ocean!
Newfoundland stereotypes just piss me off to no end. If that WAS written by a Newf, it'd be funny to me.
I don't know anyone back home who calls a hat a toque. They do up here in mainland Canada, but not back on the island. Back home, a toque is a "stocking cap" or a "sod". biggrin:
