Screeched

Recommended Posts

I jes returned from a 3-week holiday with me treasured heartie up in Newfoundland. And shiver me timbers, me newfie pals 'screeched' me whilst I was there!

Aye, indeed I did kiss the cod (believe me I've kissed worse things than that!) and drank the fiery rum. I now have a framed certificate which reads:

"This is to certify that Ciaran of North Carolina has consumed on this day, the 7th of January in the year 2006, some of Newfoundland's golden elixer. The bearer of this certificate is hereby enrolled in the Royal Order of Screechers."

So, in celebration, mates, drink up! This one be on me!

I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map.

It be a Jamaican rum imported to Canada, where it be distilled in Newfoundland. It's 40% alcohol, but fer me that was strong enough...burned like hell going down! LOL

I got screeched in years back. A real hoot of a time that I don't remember the end of... Became much of a blur :lol:

Aye, it were indeed a real cod, albeit frozen.

Arr, Halifax be a great harbour city with such a rich (and sometimes tragic) history. I've been to 'er a couple times and enjoyed each visit.

Aye I, too, has to have the Alexander Keith's pale ale when'er I be in the Maritimes. It sure be a lot smoother than Screech. LOL

Cheers to ye, Mister Blydes!
