Shark and Mutant Ray

Sharks eat their food by approaching it from below.
If the bottom-up tactic doesn't work they can attack from the side, but it's still a bottom-up bite since they turn upward at the last minute.
Sharks cannot feed by biting downward, so if you're below a shark you can just lay back and watch them pace back and forth waiting for you to surface and provide them with an opportunity to chomp.

Lemon shark.
They like their dinner meat with a squeeze of lemon juice and a side of red bile sauce.
Bones, fatty tissue, cartilage, it's all good!
Pass the lemon!
This one wants stuffed neoprene wet suit marinated in brine.

Sawfish.
Look at the mouth, so human! Part man, part lumber yard hardware, part fish, and all survivor.
Is this a Sawfish or another mutant Sting Ray like the one that assassinated "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Erin in order to silence him when he discovered the evil fortress headquarters of the international mutant Sting Ray conspiracy based offshore of the Great Barrier Reef in Tropical Far North Queensland?
Well?

BBQ in Bizarro-land

Remember Bizarro-Land from Superman comics?
It’s a square planet instead of round like Earth. Their planet is named Htrae, which of course is Earth spelled backwards. This was all brought to life by an ingenious duplicator ray built by Lex Luthor using ancient advanced technology. Yes, I said ancient advanced technology.

Admit it if you know it! Superman comics are an item from standard American cultural literacy. Wiki is a good source of info on Bizarro, so if you’re lost on the topic it’s worth a quickie wiki look see. While you’re drinking from the wiki well look up “The Bizarro Jerry”, it's an episode of Seinfeld.


Bizarro-Land is a place where everything is opposite, something tasty is unpleasant, hot is cold, something pristine and functioning is not as highly esteemed as something broken.
You get it, it's Bizarro-Land.


Below is a photo from the vortex of Bizarro-Land BBQ.

Where "Just sit down!" means "Welcome."

“A Truly Unique Dining Experience” at Bizarro-Land BBQ


We walked in feeling fresh. We'd found the perfect afternoon locale.
We hoped for: a meal, a hang out, and a stroll.
We got: Slow down, Whoa there, not today, boy.

We opened the door, stepped inside and waited for our eyes to adjust from the bright sun to the dark interior. We couldn't tell who else was inside with us but we knew something was up when we heard a woman hollering "Uh Oh, ya'll Get Out! Get! Now! Go on, through the door, go!
GET in that back room!"

Carey Hilliards BBQ plate

Recently someone asked about good BBQ in Savannah GA. I mentioned a few places, including Carey Hilliards, which was met with groans.
Well, listen to the tale and you decide . . .

Carey Hilliard's Barbeque and Seafood.
The BBQ plate is a standard. A dark sauce that's a hybrid of the mustard / vinegar / and tomato sauces of the region.
The plate is round with 3 sections, one large and two small sections.
The toasted white bread is always cut diagonally. The Q is diced. Brunswick stew or hash is beside the meat, then crinkle cut fries, with one slice of onion and two pickles.
Some onion rings on the side are great.
The tea glass is large but always so filled with ice that it gets drained in one gulp. The waitresses are typically right there with a refill but sometimes they’re elsewhere doing something else. The tea is sweet – if you want unsweet they’ll bring one glass and then let you know that they’re making more. The refill will be sweet tea, if you really want unsweet you’ll have to repeat yourself. Their plastic glass tumbler has Coca Cola on one side and the Carey Hilliards logo (their fluorescent sign) on the other side.
