The Adventures of Krystal Kid: Old McDonald

Old McDonald

Old MacDonald had a farm,
Ee i ee i oh!
And on his farm he had some chicks,
Ee i ee i oh!

If you've been coming to Krystal Adventure for a while then you already know how much I love chicks, chiks, and chix. I mean what's not to love about em. Soft and warm, fun and playful. Some are sweet, some are spicy. When you're not around em you can't help thinkin about em. Oh yes, I am absolutely crazy about them.
And while it may appear that all's quiet on the Krystal front, they have not been phoneing it in up in Chattanooga. Now, it appears Krystal went cruising for Chiks (and chicks). I do believe I am jealous of Krystal. Sadly, my usually cure for jealousy, a chili cheese pup, is at least 2 hours away. So I must suffer, all alone, in burgatory. Without a chik or a chick to drive away the sadness.
But enough of that. Yes folks that's right, Krystal has gona Chik crazy! In an email blast just this week there were several announcements. You may have noticed over on Krystal.com our usual WebChiks have been replaced. The new web chik is blonder and appears to be quite a bit perkier. (Neither of those statements are to be taken as an insult!)
It seems our new WebChik is only the tip of the ice berg. Krystal has now announced

The 2008 Krystal Chik CalendarYou can explore the Krystal Chiks and their calendar, photos, and profiles at www.krystalchiks.com of course. It appears the calendars are available now at Krystals across the land. Of course being in the Burgatory outpost, I do not have easy access to a Krystal. Until I can get my dirty paws on a Chik (calendar) I will continue to use my "2008 Mathematics Calendar."

A gift from my mother, it has daily math problems and lots of interesting math/science trivia to keep your brain moving through the day. (You can get your own copy at www.wideworldpublishing.com.) And for those looking to get me a Christmas gift, almost any of the books on their math section would be perfect for me. A sack full of fresh Krystals would be better, but I am trying to offer options. Come to think of it, any one of the Chiks featured in the Krystal calendar would make the best Christmas present ever!
Sadly, none of the Chiks appear to have the dream of moving to Wilmington. Perhaps if they knew that the largest movie studio east of California was in Wilmington, that might change things? I drive past Screen Gems Studios every day on my way to work. Dawson's Creek or One Tree Hill ring a bell?
I did say previously that due to scheduling problems (and georgraphy) I wouldn't be able to make the Square Off World Chapionship in Chattanooga on Oct 28th. However, if I find out that the Calendar Chiks will be there, I may have to throw caution (and common sense) to the wind and make a run for it. After all, last year I got to meet the original Krystal WebChiks and well as Krystal Kitty at last year's Square Off Finals. That many Krystal Chicks in one location may be unavoidable!
While I may be unsuccessful in trying to bring home one of the Krystal Calendar Chicks, there are three new Chiks I can bring home!

That's right! Due to popular demand (and near riots) Krystal has brought back the Saucy Chiks. You may notice two new ones: Marinara Mozzarella and Caribbean. (If the Marinara Mozz Chik looks familiar, it's cause I did one quite a while back. So far Krystal has gotten most of my Chik suggestions. Still waiting to see a Chik-n-Kordon Bleau, and the Cran-Chik. This new Carribean Chik is interesting. I'll need to see one soon. It reminds me a bit of my Teriyaki Chik, a yet unpublished recipe of mine. (Buy a chik. Put thick teriyaki sauce on top. It's not too complicated.)
I am unsure if these will be in addition to or instead of the original Saucy Chiks (Buffalo, Honey Mustard, Barbecue). You also can have Breakfast Chiks with the new Sausage Gravy Chik biscuit.
Despite the fact my freezer is still well stocked with Krystals, I think I may have to take a trip south to Murrell's Inlet soon. Chiks do not survive the freezing and thawing very well. Timing will be essential so I can do both breakfast and lunch and get as many Chiks as I can. While I am in Myrtle Beach I may see if I can cruize the beach and pick up some Chicks too. I can test out my theory that you can pick up a truck load of Chiks if you first pick up a sack full of Chiks.

I do actually already have a Krystal Calendar. I was given a Krystal calendar by Penny back about 1999 or so. While it was not full of sexy chiks, it was quite an entertaining calendar anyway. Lots of Krystal coupons, trivia, and fun..I'd show you a picture of it, but it is currently still packed in an unmarked box in a closet. One day I'll manage to dig it out, I hope.
I'd like to take a moment to ask you to keep Penny in your prayers right now. I just recently learned that the reason I missed her while I was back in Mid-Ga was that she's run into a bit of a health problem and was in the hospital. They have figured out what the problem is, but she's got a bit of a fight on her hands. Though I am 400 miles away, I am always there with ya, Penny! Penny's known about my Thursday thing for a long time and finds it quite amusing. Penny also worked at a Krystal at one point. Ah the secrets she could probably tell! Krystal Lovers like hot buns.
