MulletFest: A Festival with Style!
Hello friendly Passamaquoddians! Great news abounds today as we prepare for one of our favorite yearly event. Of course, it is finally time for our 2008…
Yes, it is the time of year when we put away our work, maybe get a new shirt and a haircut and celebrate THE MULLET… our favorite fish in the world! Our love of the mullet is legendary. But don’t ask me, lets talk to some of our own to hear their thoughts…
First, we caught up with this lady getting in line for Starfish Tours…
“I just LOOOOVE MulletFest. It gives me a chance to let my hair down and
celebrate the greatest fish in the world. It is fashionable to love mulletfish in a fishing community.”
“MulletFest is way cool. It’s like Tony Hawk cool. Mullet’s like my best fish favorite like!”
This young fellah had just left “Soarin’ Over Passamaquoddy”
“MulletFest is way cool. It’s like Tony Hawk cool. Mullet’s like my best fish favorite like!”
We have no idea what that means.
“Yeah. It comes at a good time. Ever since we painted the place like
Pepto-Bismol, attendance has dropped. I don’t care if its 25 years old.
Nobody wants a pink and blue cake. I mean.. my dad proposed to my mom
in front of this place. Of course she said “no”. But MulletFest changes
everything. We’ve got a lot planned. We mopped the dining area and keep
that open for business folk and out back we have a party with all sortsa
fish party favors. All of our menu items are mullet based. It isn’t the tastiest
fish out there, but we love it. Just remember, at Sand Dollar Ella’s
during MulletFest… it’s business in the front… party in the back.”
Some of our local businesses see a nice boost in patrons during the fest. We spoke with the night cook over at Sand Dollar Ella’s Castle…
“Yeah. It comes at a good time. Ever since we painted the place like
Pepto-Bismol, attendance has dropped. I don’t care if its 25 years old.

And he isn’t lying. We caught up with one of the most prominent businessmen in town in the front of Sand Dollar Ella’s… The inexcusably named Baldy McQueen.
“MulletFest is happening. Everyone should come down. You can register
at the barber shop. They have the tools to make your mullet experience
a great one. I tell ya. Passamaquoddy never looks better than during MulletFest.”

The young and old.
“Mom says I like Mullet”

So, be sure to head over to experience the salty flavor of the best bait fish anywhere at the only Festival solely devoted to it. MulletFest runs the second weekend of December.
“We’ll see you soon at BeeHiveARoo!
And let us not forget that the MulletFest is also the kickoff for July’s BeeHiveaRoo Fest where everyone in town gathers to remove all the beehives and nests attached to the Swiss Family Robinson’s Brewhouse. Here is the proprietor of the Brewhouse…
“We’ll see you soon at BeeHiveARoo!

Story Time: Duck Feet?
Once again it is story time in Passamaquoddy. this time we are taking a look at one of our favorite stories.At times like this I wonder
“Is the world just a mess?”
The weirdest thing has happened
So weird you’ll never guess
This came to beat my eardrums
On an western blowing breeze
It carried across the tundra
To Passamaquoddy’s seas
Somewhere in this country
Off some rural street
Lives a guy from Iowa
Who wishes to have duck feet!
I read this note with interest
I read it and read it again
Maybe he had mistyped
Or made a mistake with his pen?
But his intent was clear
My reading on the money
He indeed wanted duck feet
And I didn’t find it funny
See I was born with duck feet
Flat webbing ‘tween my toes
But I don’t have a flat beak!
It’s a regular human nose
So before that guy wastes money
On surgery for his dream
I’d like to give fair warning
And reassure his self-esteem
There are advantages to duck feet
But there is also give and take
You see I can’t climb an oak tree
but can swim all heck of a lake
I’ve got no piggies to go to market
Toes are required to play that
Bowling is out of the question
Shoes don’t come in a 9 flat
The playground shouts are vicious,
Mean spirited was their tack…
“While skipping on a sidewalk
Don’t break you’re mommas quack.”
So before you wish for web feet
Some advice to save your psyches
Don’t change the way your feet look
Just go buy some new Nikes.

Broken News: Studio Tour Update
Updates in Passamaquoddy have been few of late as the webmaster was caught eating at a Long John Silvers. This of course reulted in his shunned. But there have been a lot of things going on around town - such as the pending opening of Pleasure Island right off our shore - so he’s been allowed to return to work.
Today’s news involves the Passamaquoddy Animation Studio tour, as you could probably guess from the “Clawful Tower” graphic used above. It seems the rumors are true and that the studio is stopping its active production in favor of a simplistic tour. Purists have been up in arms about the change, ignoring the fact that the current feature in production (The Fishing Line King) has been under pen for 14 years and has yet to result in 10 minutes of film.
Along with this change comes the retirement of the animation studios montage that wold play to anxious viewers.
Since the copyright on the Passamaquoddy material is so strict,we cannot show anything from that video.
However, we have been able to obtain a similarly themed animation montage used down at the Disney Studios in its early MGM days. This is either an original copy or a fan made reproduction that went through some pretty painstaking efforts. The world will never know.
