I don't like wings either, but a good steak from the grill sounds really good!
Ok, tell you what. How about everyone get together and form a BBQ committee. Then that committee can vote on wings, steak or lobster. But, you must sign a gag order stating that you will not disclose the meat of choice to any of the "regular" shareholders. If they are hungry they can eat whatever it is we choose to serve.

Will we at least know who's on the committee? Is that too much to ask?

SEC Charges Hedge Fund Executive With Naked Short-Selling
14:26 EST Tuesday, December 12, 2006
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Federal regulators sued a Dallas-based hedge-fund manager Tuesday, alleging he pulled in more than $6.5 million of gains through illegal trading involving "naked" short sales of dozens of companies.
Edwin Buchanan Lyon IV, the managing partner and chief investment officer of Gryphon Partners LP, was charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday, along with Gryphon and six other related firms based in Texas and Bermuda.
According to the SEC's complaint, filed in federal district court in Manhattan, from 2001 to 2004, Gryphon would engage in "naked" short sales, typically through Canada, after agreeing to invest in PIPE deals, which are private investments in public equity.
The SEC also charged Gryphon with trading on inside information on at least four PIPE deals, involving Celsion Corp. (CLN), Gentner Communications Corp., Manufacturers Service Limited and PhotoMedex Inc. (PHMD), by selling their shares short ahead of public announcement of the stock offerings.
Short selling, which involves sales of borrowed shares in hopes of replacing them later at a lower price, is legal. So-called "naked" short selling occurs when the short seller doesn't borrow shares before selling them, a practice that was legal in Canada at the time.
The SEC claimed Lyon and Gryphon engaged in deceptive sales involving at least 35 companies that sought PIPE financing, after telling those firms that the hedge fund wouldn't sell or transfer the shares it acquired through the PIPE deals. The companies included Guilford Pharmaceuticals Inc., IntelliData Technologies Inc. and Heartland Oil & Gas Corp. (HOGC).
The SEC is seeking to have Lyon and Gryphon return their allegedly ill-gotten gains, with interest, and pay civil penalties.
Ralph Ferrara, a Washington, D.C., attorney who represents the defendants, was traveling and couldn't be reached immediately for comment.

Just a few questions first Mr. C....
Do you have any Kool-aid to share? Do you own a ranch? Do you have a large grill in your backyard? Do you have any horses? Do you wear cowboy boots? Are you willing to say that the PPS will hit $100 by next Christmas?

Well, my original plan is to offer 6 free wings for every wing you already have. This will eliminate those fowl shorters once and for all!!
