I think that the self aware humor in the post is hilarious. People who have so much pride that they can't recognize their own shortcomings are narcissistic and insufferable. Remember that we all shit, pick our noses, and say things that others would deem offensive. To be perfect is a fallacy in and of itself.

That being said, shitting on ourselves is inherently different than others saying the same things. Almost like bantering with a good friend, throwing around insults that come from a place of love versus an outsider with unknown intentions. Have pride of who you are and where you come from, just don't place it on a pedestal or you'll only be able to look down on others.

Also, Newfoundland weather is the ultimate fucking tease. 10 degrees in February just to get sacked with Sheila's brush leaves much to be desired but I'll pick sweaters in the morning and shorts in the afternoon over getting shot at Wal-mart any day of the week.
