Games
Come in. Pull up a chair.
Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.

Got a place worth the drive?
Down the road
Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.
This Hour Has 22 Minutes
The satirical news show Newfoundland comedians built in 1993 - still CBC's longest-running laugh at the news.
This Hour Has 22 Minutes is a sketch comedy and satirical news show that has aired on CBC Television since its first episode on 11 October 1993, developed by CODCO members Mary Walsh and Cathy Jones with producers Michael Donovan, Jack Kellum, Gerald Lunz and George Anthony. Though taped in Halifax, its voice is unmistakably Newfoundland-launched: Rick Mercer's 'Talking to Americans' special drew 2.7 million viewers in 2001, the highest-rated comedy special in CBC history, and Mark Critch, Shaun Majumder and Cathy Jones (the only cast member to span 1993-2018) kept the desk warm for decades. The show has collected 28 Gemini Awards and an Academy Icon Award.

Where that comes from
On the go
Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.
The kitchen
Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.
The hall
Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.
The yarns
He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.
Not the house
No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
