Joe’s Lobster Mart Re-Opening Is A Travesty Of Justice

Capecodonline.com – George Brennan – Joe’s Lobster Mart, the beleaguered fish market on the shores of the Cape Cod Canal, is reopening under new ownership.

Scott Thayer, the long-time general manager of Joe’s Lobster Mart, said Monday he is sub-leasing the building from Joseph Vaudo and has received permission from the state Department of Public Health to reopen…

Thayer declined to comment on the specifics of the business deal between himself and Vaudo, except to say that his long-time boss would have no role in the day-to-day operation of the business. Vaudo, who leased the property from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is essentially Thayer’s landlord.

What an absolute crock of shit. I didn’t need to read one sentence of this article before my bullshit detector started ringing like the dinner bell at Honey Boo Boo’s house. As Hippie Senior used to say “I’m too old a cat to get fucked by a kitten.” Of course Thayer “declined to comment on the specifics of the business deal between himself and Vaudo”. That’s because he’s obviously a puppet for the guy to keep his business.

If you believe that Vaudo’s “long-time” general manager is going to take over his entire operation, use his name and his equipment but only pay him rent and not the lion’s share of the profits then I wish you good luck with your 47th chromosome.

How is this a punishment? You have to take the guy’s lease, it is government property. At least make the new guy prove that he is not just a front for Vaudo. I want quarterly profit and loss statements backed up by tax returns to prove that he is only getting rent and not profits. Better yet, if you are the DPH just don’t let this crap happen. This is the type of shit that makes people distrust the government. This is such an obvious scam to dodge the system that allowing it smacks of cronyism in politics.

Someone in the government needs to stand up and say that this move just doesn’t pass the sniff test. Someone needs to take a stand and restore our faith in our leaders. If I were anyone involved in prosecuting Joe or making sure he paid for his crimes I would be personally insulted that this is being allowed to go down this way.

Let’s show the government that just because they can be so easily manipulated, we the people of Cape Cod will not be. We are too smart to have this shit pulled on us. Keep the ban of Joe’s Lobster Mart in place. Keep the real power in the hands of the people and do not shop there.

  3. My dear, you have a way with words! And thanks to you, I have added a new phrase to my lexicon: "I am too old of a cat to be fucked by a kitten."

  4. I've been involved in the shellfish industry my entire life. Seen a lot of messed up shit go on. Seen shellfish dealers get caught doin terrible things and not f et shut down. Joe was shut down because they didn't like him as a person PLAIN AND SIMPLE! What the state did on his first offense is messed up and wrong and I will support Scott in his decision to reopen! He will absolutely have our families business, he is a good guy and I'm very happy they got to reopen:) I've seen repeat offenders get only a fine… they were just smart enough to kiss the state's ass and tell them what they wanted to hear… it's all about playing the game!

    Hi there,

    I recently started reading the Real Cape, and I have to say I enjoy it. That said, your reference, quoted above, to a person having a 47th chromosome, while impressive in its erudition, is one of those moments where humor goes too far and what has been said (or written) is not the intended clever jab, but actually an unfair attack and an insult to others. Unintended or otherwise, it's the effect of what you have written, so I hope you will take this as some constructive criticism to perhaps be a little more thoughtful.

    As background, I have a significant amount of experience with people that have a 47th chromosome, and it is neither fair, nor right, that you are using them to mean stupid (or whatever your specific intent was, but clearly something along those lines).

    People with Down Syndrome, i.e. those with 47 chromosomes, are pretty amazing, and using them as a foil for misguided humor isn't just insulting, it's just wrong. They are pretty wonderful. And intelligent. They may take a little longer to learn things, but trust me, they learn just fine.

    Please note, I'm not a troll looking for a fight. I hope you can take this in the constructive way I'm intending. You're a good and clever writer – like I said, I enjoy your posts. That said, I understand that there is a lot of misunderstanding about people with Down Syndrome, so I am more than happy to try to share some of my experience, and perhaps show you that "stupid" and 47th chromosome are not synonymous. To conflate the two as you have is both lazy writing and, at the most fundamental level, discriminatory.

    Thanks for your time and attention. Oh, and for what it's worth – I agree with you that something rotten with this new arrangement at Joe's. I hope you get the chance to interview the new "owner."

    Respectfully yours,

  9. I have to agree with Mr. Newton. Though I find your commentary and points of view entertaining and provocative, your opinions would be strengthened without the coarse language and harsh insults. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
