Two posts in one?

I had a post in mind for this evening, when I left home for my Thursday Krytals. Just prior to leaving, I got some emails from my friend Colby and Chris. After Chris' amazing Pork-A-Palooza this past weeke, Colby turned into Rib King. One big huge delicous picture of some pork ribs along with some recaps of the BBQ and I decided that Mr. Bacon would be making an appearance at dinner tonight. No not Kevin Bacon, Kryspy Bacon. But just before I left, I hit Krystal-Lovers blog to see Kenny stuff down a Chik'n Stik'n. Apparently your favorite poultry on a stick is out of testing and demo and ready to hit the big time. That comes as no surprise to me, as back in October, I reviewed how everyone loves food on a stick. Please be aware that Krystals on a Stick is not worth the extra added effort. Just pick em up and eat em.
With thoughts of Chik'n Stick'ns (or however you pluralize them) in my mind I rolled into Krystal to see the ads everywhere. From the web to my store in mere moments! Suddenly my order changed.

Meet SuperCombo!

That's the variety combo (Cheese Krystal, Chik, Chili Cheese Pup, and Corn Pup) PLUS a Chik'n Stik'n and an upsized Coke. I was hungry and very thirsty today! (No surprise given my classroom was 81 degrees all day).
Also you can get free music from your order of Chik'n Stik'ns, so eat up, download, then JAM! But don't forget you saw em here first, back in February when I made my quick trip to Chattanooga. OK, so technically the first place I saw them was in the videos on Krystal.com where the Web Ladies were first discovered. (Explore Krystal.com and you'll find them!)
Please note there is no truth to the rumor that you can order a Chik'n Stick'n combo by telling the girl at the register to "Stick it!"
Now for the post I had originally planned for today:
As I wind down my days on the base, I am trying to enjoy all the laughs I can still get out there. Many I am not allowed to share with you, but one I am fairly certain I can. As long as we overlook the fact I brought a camera into the industrial area. (I don't worry a lot since everyone else bring camera phones anyway).
Do you remember the Staples Easy Button commercials?
We all got big laughs out of that, especially when a coworker bought an Easy Button and brought it in to class. You can order your own simply by clicking on the Easy Button above. (Get it? I made it easy to order your own Easy Button!)
Sadly, Latosha, the girl who bought the Easy Button took it with her when she left back in March, and I suspect that's why work hasn't been "Easy" since then. I did make a recent discovery that just might solve some of our problems. I have found the government equivalent to the Easy Button. Let's called it The Easy Switch
This is on the wall of our student break room, which is the room right behind my classroom. I know it is hard to see, so I zoomed in on the switch.
Keep in mind this cabinet is about 4' high and 3' wide and the only thing on it is a small switch that simply says "System Switch" and has an "On" and an "Off" setting. This, my friends, is goverment wiring in action! Don't you wonder what it does? Well the label on the top won't help you. It says "Control Panel Unit 5-s." How helpful. Apparently what is inside is so complex they had to simplify it to one switch. Why they go through all the trouble and then leave the key in the lock, I do not know. And don't you know I am tempted to peek inside!
Given that my room is so dang hot all the time and this is on the wall adjoining my room I wonder if perhaps this is the "make Jason's room unbearably hot" switch and someone has left it in the "On" position without telling me. I find myself looking at the switch a little longer each day. I am shocked no students have fiddled with it yet since it is in their break room. It's both shocking and sad what students will do when they aren't being watched. (Or perhaps they HAVE been fiddling with the switch?!?!)
Anyway, as I ponder the mystical switch I can't help but be reminded of a Ren and Stimpy episode. I never really cared for Ren and Stimy, but one episode never fails to get a laugh out of me. You can read the whole script as well as nab some sounds and pictures as WeezelX's website. Pay close attention to the Ice Cream Bar segment, as it is my all time favorite. The portion I am referring to is down at the bottom, at the end of the episode:
REN: Now, listen, Cadet. I've got a JOB for you. See this button? (Stimpy reaches for the button) DON'T TOUCH IT! It's the HISTORY ERASER button, you FOOL!
STIMPY: So what'll happen?
REN: That's just IT! We don't KNOW! Maayyybeee something bad?...Mayyybeee something good! I guess we'll never know! 'Cause you're going to guard it! You won't TOUCH it, will you?
(Stimpy salutes. Ren leaves.)
REN: Hehhh...hehhhh...hehhhh...hehhhh...
(Stimpy marches back and forth, starting at the button.)
ANNOUNCER: Oh, how long can trusty Cadet Stimpy hold out? How can he possibly resist the diabolical urge to push the button that could erase his very existence? Will his tortured mind give in to its uncontrollable desires?
(Announcer grabs Stimpy, forces him closer to the button.) Can he resist the temptation to push the button that, even now, beckons him even closer? Will he succumb to the maddening urge to eradicate history? At the MERE...PUSH...of a SINGLE...BUTTON! The beeyootiful SHINY button! The jolly CANDY-LIKE button! Will he hold out, folks? CAN he hold out?
STIMPY: NO I CAN'T!!!EEEEEYAAAHHHH! (pushes button)
Yes I want so deperately to flip the switch. It calls to me from the other room. It becons to me. Yes, it is time I change jobs, while I can still restrain myself from flipping the switch. (Is this why they call it "flippin out?")

Krystal Lovers like hot buns.

It's time to change jobs because you don't have the GUTS to push the button?! It's time to change jobs because you are no better than your students? It's time to change jobs because you can "restrain" yourself?

You are doing 2 things in this post. #1: you are being a TEASE! Teasing your readers is NOT NICE! #2: you are reaching a little bit...if you want to leave just say you want to leave. Don't lead us to believe otherwise by saying that your restraint is a "sign"...you big ole tease. Or are you just....chicken? :)

NOW! WHAT DOES THAT BLOOMING BUTTON DO?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PUSH THE BUTTON; FOR THE LOVE OF MAN!

PUSH-IT, PUSH-IT, PUSH-IT, PUSH-IT, PUSH-IT, PUSH-IT, PUSH-IT...
