Newfie's explained
Ok, being the resident Newf around here, there's still some debate as to just exactly what is a "Newfie"
I could sum it up by saying "Some one from newfoundland you dumb schmuck", but lord knows that just wouldn't cut it around here. SOOOO... Here's a site (I actually offered a few of these to the writer) that might help explane us "misunderstood strain of people". http://www.gonzo.org/fun/newfierednecks.html NEWFIE JOKESNewfies may be to Canada what Rednecks are to the Southern US, but until you've travelled frequently throughout Alberta, rednecks are not an isolated people. Weirdly enough, Ernest C. Manning's eugenics programs in the thirties seems to have missed a lot of "mental defectives". Just kidding, but the next time you're stuck in a place called Dog Pound or Cereal, you can't avoid feeling like "Duelling Banjos" is going to be heard vaguely in the distance.

But just imagine how hard it would be to read my hieroglyphics if I didn't use Word Perfect every now and then

The steward (in charge of meals) in my fraternity one year was from Canada. We had Newfie steaks a lot (Sunny-side-up egg over fried baloney over toast.) Weird, weird stuff

That last set of jokes really cracked me up.
The only thing I know about Newfoundland is that is where Great Big Sea is from. |

That's what i'm eating right now for lunch The trick is to fry the baloney untill it's just crisp, not burnt. Too bad he didn't cook up "scrunchions", cod toungs & fish cakes", or "fresh britches"
