OK!! I figure its getting CLOSE ENOUGH to post some TENTATIVE plans now!!

For those of you who DON'T KNOW, there is a ceremony called " SCREECHING IN " here in Newfoundland, in which those people "FROM AWAY" can become HONORARY NEWFIES :eek: :eek: !! (Believe it or not, this is a big deal!!) Now TYPICALLY this is done by making people BOTH (1) Drink a SHot of "NEWFIE SCREECH" and (2) Kiss a CODFISH! :9: :C: (while wearing HIP-WADERS and dancing to NEWFIE MUSIC!) ;D

DUE TO Constraints, ( I HATE CODFISH, THEY STINK!!) I will be holding MY VERSION of a "SCREECHING IN" at NIagara Falls!! It will involve drinking just ONE SHOT of NEWFIE SCREECH, (I will be providing the SCREECH); and Perhaps RUBBING my BALD HEAD in lieu of kissing that ugly codfish :p

SO NOW!! The plan is to have this on SATURDAY NIGHT after all the Festivities are pretty well over !! I picked up the first 60 oz'er of NEWFIE SCREECH :eek: tonight to bring, and I will pick up 1-2 more before I leave !!

I would like to get some idea of to how many people are interested!! Thanking you all in advance for your participation!! (y) :love:
 
Okay YakMan,

I get the drill. :eek:

I've been through a routine like this on more than one occasion on the Left Coast of Canada. It seems each Province has their own Unique and Traditional Custom to Initiate any and all Newcomers. :0:

As it was typically described to me, "This is another Fine & Wonderful Canadian Tradition." :rolleyes: By a BOD of Labatts none the less! ;D

I didn't read the whole post yet, but do we get to keep the waders on the whole time? :-[

This sounds like it would be worth the trip for me! (y)

Have a great time and, please, go easy on the First Timers! :love:

We can't make it to the GTG :-[. Bummer. But, I gotta know...what is Newfie Screech? Would this be like Japanese Sake? Or? Just idle curiousity ;D

Oh, and btw, ain't NOTHING finer than a bald man! I made, err...encouraged Zam to shave his off awhile back. :love: :love: :love:

Not really sure if I should :eek: :eek: :eek: or ??? ??? ??? I will watch the first ones and then make the call. >:D >:D >:DMatt Chicken ahhh maybe???

The usual routine is to keep the uninitiated separated by a curtain. ???

You can't see what's going on, but you'll hear everything. :eek:

Make certain you're wearing your rubber underwear or Depends. You'll need it later! ;)

That itinerary is subject to change... and will soon change slightly... but I think that time slot should still be safe. :cool:

Yak.. even though I can't make it. I would be at the front of the line for this!!

I will drink a shot of Jack for ya all on Saturday Night around 11ish.
