Screeched in at Trapper John's

Everywhere you went someone would ask if you had been screeched in.This meant you had become a honorary member of Newfoundland & Labrador.  So where better to be Screeched in than on George Street in St Johns at Trapper  John's.

Trapper John's was a small little bar right at the start of George street, (or the end depending on which way you were going) and we went through the time honoured ceremony there.. First we had to repeat after the person doing the swearing in ceremony a verse in Nefenise.  ( I am still not sure what I said)

We had to have a straight shot of screech

Then kissed the ass of the provincial bird the Pepin

We were than touched on each shoulder as if being knighted by the barman's long stick and we were presented with are certificate that said we were honorary member of Newfoundland & Labrador.  (We got to keep the shot glass too)
