I told my friend over at Missing The Rock that I was going to steal this video I recently saw posted on her site. Being an honest thief, I figured I’d make good on that promise.
For those of you who may not know what being “Screeched In” is, here it is in a nutshell. Newfoundlanders have a playful ritual they perform on visitors to our province inducting them in as honorary members of our home province. The ceremony includes having the inductee drink a shot of Newfoundland Screech, dancing a jig, and kissing a codfish, all while wearing a sou’wester.
The ceremony is sworn in as the visitor is asked “Is you a Newfoundlander?” The inductee responds, “Indeed I is, me ol’ cock. Long may yer big jib draw!”
Natasha Henstridge takes a couple of liberties, likely for the sake of time. Conan seems to have some fun with it though!
