I don't understand the point of mentioning this random anecdote. This (and this thread) is thinly veiled xenophobic BS.

I thought this part of the forum wasn't moderated? I think I saw some mod/admin/vp say something like "post whatever you want" unless it's about one of the staff here.

Do you think the mods on this site are actually consistent?

Drove out east last year but Newfoundland wasn't on the itinerary. Maybe next time.

The old saying "That's a fine kettle of fish," was coined after a US serviceman posted to Newfoundland during WWII misheard fishing chatter at the wharf. A fisherman and an agent were discussing a quintal of fish, which is an antiquated unit of measurement.

Mummering was outlawed as a public nuisance after years of reported violent attacks. Upper Canadians of the artsy, festive variety who bought cheap real estate to flip into a handsome profit have resurrected the practice in recent years, but the practice has moved to parties and parades, and not ambushing people at home for food and drink over Christmas.

Whoa man .. Newfoundland is Canada?

I thought the region were talking about was around Norway or up there.

The importance of this thread to me personally has increased incredibly.

Initial reaction? Dont like. Not one bit.

Newfoundlanders are backwards ass people.
