It's a great accomplishment to actually get through the Screech In Ceremony, but the reward of being an Honorary Newfoundlander says it all!
Traditionally, there were three requirements to becoming an "Honorary Newfoundlander" (also known as being "Screeched In"):
One had to be "sponsored" by a "real" Newfoundlander. That's where we come in: consider yourself sponsored.
One had to "kiss a Cod". In these days of "scarce Cod", or "nar Cod at all". We figure the "virtual Cod" will have to do. So "pucker up" and kiss the the Cod on the screen (below). We're working on "virtual smell". When we get it perfected, we'll add it to the page (of course, you'll need the latest "plugin" to have the "olfactory experience" - we plan to market the technology as "StinkWave").
The final act is to "down a shot of Newfoundland Screech" and repeat after us: "Long may your big jib draw." (Unfortunately, here we can't help you - we haven't found a way to FTP a bottle of Screech, yet - but the testing is going well, hic ... You'll just have to go to your nearest Liquor Store (most Canadian Liquor Stores and even some American ones now carry Newfoundland Screech) and get a bottle (even a "mickey", "pup", or "flask" will do.)
