Yea they are way cool,some of my maternal family settled there when they came from Sweden. When ever I visit the East Coast I constantly ask them to repeat themselves I love the East Coast accent though and their easy and laid back way of living.

Lots of great memories of my childhood summer holiay that I spent there, developed my love of Lobster, scampi, shrimp and mussels from there....lawd am salivating

I heard my first Newfie joke 40 years ago visiting family in Canada.

Newfie jokes are like Polack jokes here in the US. Meh.
