Shouldn't we Screech him in? I got the Screech and the Cod ready. Pucker up Guardian
(For those who don't know, to become an honorary Newfoundlander you have to take a shot of Screech, resite a few lines of text and kiss a cod.)

Yeah Screech is a Newfoundlander drink. Here's the story behind it:Originally Posted by syvalois
As the story goes, the commanding officer of the original detachment was having his first taste of Newfoundland hospitality and, imitating the custom of his host, downed his drink in one gulp. The American's blood-curdling howl, when he regained his breath, brought the sympathetic and curios from miles around rushing to the house to find out what was going on. The first to arrive was a garrulous old American sergeant who pounded on the door and demanded, "What the cripes was that ungodly screech?"
The taciturn Newfoundlander who had answered the door replied simply, "The Screech? 'Tis the rum, me son."
A legend was born!. As word of the incident spread, the soldiers, determined to try this mysterious "Screech" and finding its effects as devastating as the name implies, adopted it as their favourite.
