Nova Scotians, New Brunswick, PEI or Newfoundland

Recommended Posts

I worked with several Newfies who just come to Ontario for the Summer, collect enough money to receive EI, and go back home and live off the Government. Foul mouthed and racist too.

 

But damn, were they some of the nicest sumbitches I've ever met. Give you the shirt off their back.

Baron, you and I are the only Canadians who have actually read that book. Stop referring to it.

But since the cat's out of the bag:

 

PEI is so small that when you plug in your razor, streetcars slow down. If they had streetcars. Which they don't. Because it's so small.

 

I'll admit I didn't know a lot of those Newfoundland facts. Is it really going to be Brad Gushue day every Feb. 24?

My dad is from New Brunswick; Rogersville, to be exact (Yeah, little hick town out there).

 

I believe Annie Eclectic, a former poster here, was from New Brunswick as well.

My dad and I often debate the name of our favourite Canadian city name. While Moose Jaw usually wins, the majority of our names come from the Atlantic Provinces: Miramichi, Burntchurch, Antigonish.

Sorry but Moose Factory is better than Moose Jaw.

 

Watch the fashion show scene in SlapShot...it changes everything:

 

"And if I can correctly read the card, Billy Charles...boys hails from, um Moose Jaw, Sask-atch-ewan

 

Also, a buddy of Baron and mine who's almost as big a hippy as we are(although he can change colours like a chameleon) is moving to Calgary in two weeks. We've already got a pool going on how logn he lasts.

I guess those "several" Newfoundlanders represent ALL Newfoundlanders in your book?

Of course. Why wouldn't it?

Newfoundland has lots of funny town names.

 

Ever travel the road from Come-by-Chance to Conception Bay? I haven't, and I never want to.

 

Oh Newfoundland, oh Newfoundland, ya island in the sea

I love you oh so very much, I joined the Ministry

To show you people 'round the rock when tourist season's here

Although in my opinion it' s a gem throughout the year

Well if you're one for swimming, don't think it's outta reach

You can go and take a dip along Groswater Beach

I know the name's misleading, that's quite a problem here

Instead let's go to Goobies and have ourselves a beer

 

From Woody Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol' Ferryland

Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead's mighty grand

Don't let the names deceive you, Newfoundland's mighty fine

So spend a night on Dildo if you think you've got the time

 

Well you can go to Blow-Me-Down before it get's to dark (GASP)

Oh sorry ma'am, I should have said, that's our provincial park

There's also Whippet Harbour, or maybe Butter Pot

Or maybe I'll just hit the pub I'm feeling like a shot

Well you can sail on Quidi Vidi, or look at Joe Batt's Arm

There's Placentia and there's Cow Head (MOOO!), they're so full of charm

Get married down in Kilbride, have a party in Hate Bay

Or have some screech in Fogo and forget about the day

 

From Woody Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol' Ferryland

Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead's mighty grand

Don't let the names deceive you, Newfoundland's mighty fine

So spend a night on Dildo if you think you've got the time

Okay, the Drinkin' Verse!

 

*drunken ramblings*

All real places.

I've been told there is a Dildo, NF. If that's true then it's by far the best Canadian city name.

One that I like, but isn't as obviously funny, is Happy Valley Goose Bay, over in Labrador. I dunno why, but that name is just awesome. I hear Labrador is pretty bleak, though.
