Good times had by all. Lots of fish clipped. Get out there on sunday if you can it is a geat day for kids as well. thanks to all who put so much effort into the program all year long Hats off to you guys and gals for sure.
Hey Guys: great fun today - the kids (of all ages) were delightful! Nice to meet all of you. I'll start saving up more (better) newf jokes for next year; lol !!! Thanks to all the organizers and the bar-bee-que guru - v. yummy! But I'll be dreaming of all the grown-up coho to come.
BTW: I heard that in St. John's
- a Newfie never needs a GPS - he just looks out the kitchen window. If he sees an iceberg he knows he's home again.
- the day salmon fishing season starts is a national holiday - between when the last iceberg of Spring drifts out of St. John's harbour and just before the first one of the Fall drifts in.
- there are only two seasons: Hunting and Fishing
- therefore twice a year the kitchen is cleaned up - with the changeover from fish-packing to moose-meat processing.
- that if you run out of kerosene, Screetch will keep the lamps burning.
- therefore many Newfies are admitted to the ER for 3rd degree burns to their lips. Not as many though, as admissions from raking leaves (falls from the trees. yuck-yuck.)
- barbecues are cleaned only to keep the bears off the "sun" decks.
- after the barbecue, guests are entertained by shot-gunning the mosquitoes!
- when a Newf's wife asks, after the barbecue "Did ya clean-up the condiments, Dear?"; he heads straight to the washhouse and rinses out the condoms.
