Rawkin’ on The Rock. *mouse ears* OP (Original Painey) Screeeeeee!.
it was ’cause i signed bob and sue that you knew qui?
The Rawk is a helpful hint as well…
Oui >; )
curses^^i thought everyone used the rawk. anyway, watching the news to see these folks take it upon themselves to build bridges…good ones too, was awesome. they are handy people. i think i’ll move there when the zombies come
woo woo I’m a Newf and proud of it!!
I’ve had an emotionally disastrous experience with a NLder – I hope someday I’m over it enough to go visit there… because I was always in love with the place prior to that. They are certainly a different breed of people, and likely resistant to zombie attacks!
is that because collectively there’s only the equivalent of 6 brains on the whole island?
grrrrr
I knew it was coming….
ok, a couple things…
1. you aren’t on the island right now so you aren’t counted in their total grey matter accumulation… and
2. I wasn’t the one that brought up the point that the place is zombie resistant.
no zombies go to NL
zombies like brains and go where brains are…
so naturally I assumed…..
to be honest i have only sailed around the rock. zombies will eat anything
I love me some newfs 🙂
Only 6 brains on the whole island hey? Makes you wonder how they keep the university running if that’s the case. The one with the well known, well respected medical, engineering and social work programs.
Not a good example, feu violet, how many brains are currently running the Dal campus?
ok hmm… I just really get offended by people saying Newfoundlanders aren’t smart. I’m intelligent, so are most members of my family. All of my close friends have gone on the become very sucessful, productive members of society, and most live outside of Newfoundland.
Damn, I meant *to become
I know, and all the NLder’s I’ve known have been really intelligent too, productive and absolutely hilarious with a love to socialize and party. But I guess it’s kind of like saying all upper canadians are snobs… oh wait, they are.
Uhh…
PurpleFire, blame ralmn.
i was born in the uppity part of canada, but i am a citizen of the sea
To be honest, whenever I find someones “humour” about Newfoundland offensive, it’s always a Nova Scotian making fun. I think ya’ll just must be jealous of how well liked Newfs are around the world.
I got nothing against NL…
never even been there before.
My argument was pure logic based on others inference.
And yes, people recognize newfs before Scotians…
you have kissing cod (fisherman), screech, incomprehendable accents…
what does NS have?
a port, a hill, and some rocks near a lighthouse.
nothing about the people themselves…. just places to see if you go there.
as in, come visit beautiful landscape that is Nova Scotia…. just don’t bother talking to anyone while you’re there.
Yay for tourism dollars pushing the message.
We have George Street too!
if i didn’t have the love/bitch this week i would be on a murderous rampage using my bare hands
yikes… are you ok?
PG, you *could* do us all a favor and stop posting for the next two days…
once that hatred and anger builds enough,
head out to walk the commons/gottigen sat night.
Take out a few of them thar swarmers for us all….
no not really, but thanks for asking
Do you need someone to talk to? I’m being serious, I can give you my email if you want.
Hugs to you painey – the bitchers have saved my sanity in the past too… we all *mouse ears* you, ya knows.
And I do love NLders too. 🙂 No worries, PF, you’re totally right, people are jealous as hell that you guys are recognizable around the world and wanted at every party!
All Painey has to do is give the word and and entire army of LTWWB Paladins would rise up to smite the foe, raze great cities to the ground, and put whole populations of stupid bags of mostly water to the sword.
And then we’d step away from the keyboard and at least offer her a virtual pint and hug.
Concerned Rawk, Painuchka. Keeping a good thought for you.>: (
thanks pf, you are too saweet. no it’s otay i gots the bear and the boyos, and one of my favourite dogs just came by for a treat. i have lost some faith in humans this week but i’ll get it back^^
…and merci you sonofabitch, now i’m weepy…rooooo
Sonofabitch by name; Sonofabitch by nature. >; )
Rawk, Scree, Rooo, Snort & HeeHaw.
Hey PurpleFire…nice to ‘meet’ a fellow Newfoundlander here. Rockers rock!
Newfoundlanders learned to be self-sufficient out of necessity of survival, before the rest of Canada was even thought of, and since then, as we were pretty much on our own before joining confederation.
i still want your newfie stuffing recipe oceanchickpeasis^^
(Count Floyd Voice) Hey Kids. I’ve got a real scary one for you this week. “Dr. Pain’s 3-D House of Chickpeas” in Smell-O-Rama. Oooh Scary. AaaaWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,
Sorry, Comedy’s been re-running SCTV on the weekends and no stalgia is good stalgia. >; )
Dr. Tongue’s 3-D House Of Stewardesses still cracks me up.
“Rip & Tear Bruno. Rip & Tear”
thank you admiral, my faith in carbon-based lifeforms has been restored…hookbeak is alive!
That is fantastic news Painey. Let’s gather around the squadron mess piano with our pints of bitter and handlebar moustaches and sing a thoroughly obscene version Lili Marlene. All our lads came home to Blighty. Jolly Good Show!
RAWK, RAWK, RAWK!
i hadn’t seen my beloved corbie in a while but there he was on my fence…i’ll pass on the bitter but a lime and lager or g and t would be right some nice…glugluglug
you mean his name isn’t Bear? I thought you were just being funny calling him THE Bear. Dang!
i am the only one who can get away with calling him that^^the crows are always in my yard, but i was worried about zee hookmeister
Hope you’re having a better day Paingirl! I’ve been away from my computer… home with my 3 year old (pink eye…not nice!). I love Nflders … & I’m a big fan of u and all your posts. Don’t let people bring you down! You’re an amazing person.
Roger That! R.C. If there’s anyone on this board who can put us in touch with the better angels of our nature, It’s Painey. She Rawks.
you are all far too kind. merci buckets…i am covered in mastiff drool-finest kind^^sorry about your wee bairn rc. pink eye is not fun
. I never washed and disinfected so much in my entire life! he was so sad every single eye drop. But Life could be a million times worse though.
I can`t wait to be back in the dog-lover world again – it`s nice to have that unconditional love…..my 3 year old loves me like that, until he doesn’t get his own way…then I get the new favourite saying `your not comin to my birthday party mom`.
….hope your feeling better 🙂
happy red flannel festival to the folks in cedar springs michigan^^
