Passamaquoddy

Sometimes reasonable requests are not heard.  We as individuals and as a community can make decisions for the wrong reason.  For example, take Mister Chani Graumann’s request for his business to be afforded the visibility he paid for years back.  Born of Chinese and Jewish parents, Chani feels his requests fall on deaf ears just because he wears a tie of silk.

Back in 1971, Chani built a Chinese food market right on what is now known as the studio hub.  His food was never any good, but it was the only place to get Chinese food at the time.  But with the reopening of “9 Tigersharks”, business is slow and Chani is acting.  He has rekindled his old complaint that his storefront was once visible before the “Fishing Apprentice” opened up shop nearby on the harbor.

Again he is pleading with the community to make something happen here.  Even if we don’t do anything, he also wants it clear that he is still running a $4.99 Squid Lo mein lunch special.

This one is open for community discussion.

Be sure to check out the story of THE PASSAMAQUODDY LIGHTS from last year… Always an amazing holiday tradition.  Click here to catch up on it.

A special thanks goes out to all Passamaquoddy friends and family who have contributed and/or appeared on our website through the year.  You make it all worth while.

Not only are these calendars a pleasure to look at, they’re also very practical…. And there is a calendar for just about any topic.  These graphic examples were downloaded from the “We Wants the Redhead Beefcake Calendar Collection”.  It was mostly calendars of some Olympic Swimmer, but those didn’t strike anyones interest on our website staff.  So be sure to check out a calendar for next year.  They are practical and inexpensive and you can pawn one off on anybody.

Here is one that some people may find of interest..  Its a terrific page-a-day calendar filled with interesting tidbits about a world far, far from Passamaquoddy.  They don’t have a “Chumshop Earth”, “Kickin’ Krabaret” or even a “Soarin’ OverPassamaquoddy”, but the author was able to put together quite a calendar anyway.  Click here to order a copy.

Here’s a word of advice from Jeff W from Iowa. “If you are budget conscious, you can always buy the previous years calendar at a deep discount!  Cross out any mention of the year with a sharpie and you are set!  By the time they have discovered the days don’t match, you’ll be miles away in the cornfield!”

Enjoy your calendars!  See you next year…

With the holidays approaching quickly, so does all the talk about the Passamaquoddy marathon runs.  And while many runners would love to get that perfect running shoe, I bet they would love obne of these fancy machines instead.  The above picture was taken last year and features Officer John Eager at mile-marker 13.  For the record he finished the marathon without breaking a sweat and even wore his fancy dress shoes.  Those real shiny ones.  Consider one of these for your running loved ones!

Walt Disney was always intrigued by the Matterhorn.  And not always the one with tobaggon sleds designed to challenge even the sturdiest of spines…  So, it was only natural that the mountain would play a major role in a film about climbing.  Of course, scaling a mountain is dangerous work,and to alleviate the risk - and keep the costs manageable, many of the mountain climbing scenes were created using optical effects.

Diving Belle works down at the Passamaquoddy Inn and spends much of her free time telling her fish tales, especially during the holidays.  The stories were definitely for the pre-school set when she first started her tradition.  In recent years however, the toddlers aren’t able to see over the adult males who camp out in front of her story spot.  Some of them scopa out the spot 12 hours ahead.  Talk about Passamaquoddy Obsessive Compulsive!  Over time, her stories got more and more saucy - and the audience gets more and more sauced. 

Get your friends an appointment with Diving Belle this holiday season…

*It is recommended to keep the younger ones away.. You never know what will happen at storytime…

Bryan Ripper only recently tried an uncooked seafood and came out with some wonderful compliments…

“It is slimy.”
“I can’t tell if I swallowed it yet.”
“I tasted that piece twice.”

and hours later he even had this to say…

“I still have that fish taste in my mouth!”

You said it Bryan!
