Are they going to miss the opportunity to see that crowd completely lose their minds?

Nope.

And I do mean by playing it.

There was a rumor back when I was a kid about skate wings being stamped out and sold as scallops. Now, my father once even confronted a cook at a restaurant about that very thing and all I know is that our dinners were comped. My little bro and I ate 'em all up, but dad was convinced they weren't scallops and wouldn't eat more than his first bite. Don't recall mom's thoughts on the matter other than her giving dad a bit of a tongue lashing when we were back in the car. For embarrassing her in public, but dad was never less than cool, even when pissed, so her excoriation was weak and for our benefit, I think. I guess I've heard that a good cook can do minor miracles in the kitchen so I'll not rule it out, but I've never been moved to try it again.
Cownose rays are another attempt in this vein to get good food out of inauspicious beginnings. Around here, they were bowhunted pretty hard for a few years, but once killed, they were often just tossed back in the drink. When a couple of dozen washed up on a local beach, the outfitters were given enough shit about it that they stopped that and then watermen figured out that properly prepared, the rays wings were, in fact, better than palatable, but had no marketing ideas. They tried Chesapeake Ray, thinking name alone would advance their consumption, but alas...didn't make any headway on that. Apparently, their skin is their liver (sorta) and care had to be taken to skin out the wings without contaminating the flesh, so there was that. Again, not tempted myself, but if blowfish can be rebranded as "sugar toads" and sold for over 10 bucks a pound, well...

I've met a lot of really smart people in my life and not one of them ever mentions mensa. The people that talk about being in mensa are some of the most disfunction people I've met, like they can probably do math that I've never heard of but don't understand causation vs correlation. Or something more simple.

Would you rather be the top scientist in your field or get mad cow disease?

Time for playoff hockey! Let's go caps!

I mean, who wouldn't eat BBQ spare ribs? Frankly, if it was a hard cheese (or even semi soft) I would eat it too. Soft cheese isn't for me.

As for an unclassified mission- I don't have one 🀷

Why is Easter a dangerous time for investors?

Because they have all of their eggs in 1 basket.
