By the Lord Ryan, by the thunderin' G How are you doing, you son of a B? You can't fool your old man by dressing like that You're still just a NEWFIE in a Calgary hat. The last time I went back to the Rampike Festival in Mount Carmel, that chorus was still the rage, with no discernible mumbling of the word Newfie. Of course, there is that unfortunate rhyme, "goofy," but with my family, the connotation is not always inapt. (If any of you Nolans are reading this - just kidding.)
