Honorary Newfoundlander
There's an "age
old", "time honored" tradition in Newfoundland of making "deserving" Mainlanders
into "Honorary Newfoundlander's". In this "modern age" of "virtual" this
and "virtual" that, we figured it was time to take this "custom" to the
World Wide Web.
Traditionally, there were three requirements to becoming an "Honorary
Newfoundlander" (also known as being "Screeched In"):
-
One had to be "sponsored" by a "real" Newfoundlander. That's where we
come in: consider yourself sponsored.
-
One had to "kiss a Cod".
In
these days of "scarce Cod", or "nar Cod at all". We figure the "virtual
Cod" will have to do. So "pucker up" and kiss the the Cod on the screen.
We're working on "virtual smell". When we get it perfected, we'll add it
to the page (of course, you'll need the latest "plugin" to have the "olfactory
experience" - we plan to market the technology as "StinkWave").
-
The final act is to "down a shot of Newfoundland
Screech" and repeat after us: "Long may your big jib draw." (Unfortunately,
here we can't help you - we haven't found a way to FTP a bottle of Screech,
yet - but the testing is going well, hic ... You'll just have to go to
your nearest Liquor Store (most Canadian Liquor Stores and even some American
ones now carry Newfoundland
Screech) and get a bottle (even a "mickey", "pup", or "flask" will
do.)
Having completed the
above, here's your Honorary Newfoundlander certificate.
