After Jack Hinks, they took a break from singing and we got some banter. I didn't get the reason why Alan was saying that "this DC thing is confusing." It may have been because they were trying to figure out what state they were in. Wolf Trap in in Virginia, but Washington, DC is in neither Maryland nor Virginia - it is not in any state, but an entity unto itself. They said they had no equivalent in Canada. And somone in the audience yelled "Brigus South!" Alan and Sean had a good laugh about that. Alan commented that Petty Harbour could probably fit entirely into the confines of the venue. Sean suggested that most of St. John's wold fit within the Wolf Trap land area. And Alan added that he was certain that Brigus South would fit into the FIlene Centre. All of a sudden Alan began speaking about how Brigus South was represented in the house tonight and how he's always wanted to do a hip hop shout out like "Yo yo (something something ) in the Sout' "
And then Sean began speaking about how Brigus was one of many quaint names of Newfoundland towns. He rattled off "Come By Chance" (cue laughter) Alan adds, "Mount Pearl" Sean continues, "Spread Eagle, and then there's Dildo (cue much laughter) and South Dildo." And Alan swings in there with "Petty Harbour." At first I thought Alan's choices were strange, but then I got it! "Mount Pearl" could be a very intriguing vision if we are talking about a Friday night date. But I thought the addition of Petty Harbour was a stretch, given the theme of the other town names. |
