[Spridgets] Route to Nova Scotia

[Larry Daniels]

Ok, Rick.  They drink alcohol until they feel like kissing animals on the
mouth and then refer to their enablers as "me ol' cock".  I'm not quite sure
how this is better than what they do to a moose when they catch one.  And I
don't even want to know what "long may your big jib draw" means!  ;-)  ;-)

      From wikipedia:

      "

      Newfoundland Screech is a particularly strong liquor, sold in
Newfoundland and originally imported from Jamaica, which enjoys fame in many
parts of Canada. In the United States, it is available for sale in the three
most northeastern states - that is, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.Screech
is manufactured in a process very similar to that of most rums: fermentation,
distillation, aging and blending of sugarcane.


      Screeching someone visiting Newfoundland for the first time is a
longtime custom of many older bars in Newfoundland, in which the person is to
drink a shot of screech, kiss a codfish on the mouth, and answer the question
"Is ye an honourary Newfoundlander?" with the phrase "Indeed I is me ol' cock,
and long may your big jib draw." After completing these tasks, they receive an
official 'Screecher' certificate."

        A Screech?  Is that what a moose does when a Canadian catches one?

        Must be those long cold winters.
