Newfie Picnic
25 July 2010
While playing for the good folks at the Newfie Picnic, Troy and Dave were “Screeched In” by the ex-patriot Newfoundlaners. It was a surprise and a great honor. Thanks folks!
Screech is a dark rum made in Newfoundland and to be “screeched In” and thus made and honorary Newfie, The Squid Jiggers donned traditional fishing garb, stood on two stones brought from Newfoundland, ate a piece of Newfie Steak (bologna), drank some Screech, kissed a real codfish and answered the question “Is ye an honourary Newfoundlander?” with the phrase “Indeed I is me ol’ cock, and long may your big jib draw.”
