Ron's rules rule!
| Last Thursday was a good day. Obviously it was Krystal day, but there was more to it. I had the opportunity to meet someone I had wanted to meet for quite a while. You may have heard of Ron Clark before. He's been on Oprah a few times, his book has been a national bestseller for a while, and he's had a movie made based on him (with Mathew Perry of Friends fame playing Ron). I had heard of Ron before, but little else about him. I knew he had more or less revolutionized elementary school education, but you always hear of people who "revolutionize" education and within a year they disappear. Ron's story, however, is quite different. And oddly enough. Ron's story intersects with mine. You see, Ron is from a tiny town in NC called Aurora. It's not too terribly far from where my parents live. When i say it is tiny, I am not kidding. Roughly 600 people. Ron never wanted to teach, but more or less got pushed into it by his mother. And he's never looked back since. After completely turning around children at a school in NC, he decided (without really understanding what he was gettign into) to go and "fix" a school in Harlem, NY. Yes, Harlem. White kid from eastern North Carolina teaching at a school in Harlem with no white students. The fact he took the WORST class of students and brought their test scores up in one year even above the top tier students is enough to make a movie out of. And in fact they did. It is really a good movie, but only a fraction of his story. You see, last Thursday Ron was in Macon at our local Barnes and Noble. How we lucked out to get him is beyond me. But I wasn't going to miss this opportunity.  Two changes of majors later, plus a masters degree, and 3 years at a painfully boring desk job, I am now a teacher. The difference is that I teach college, where thinking outside the box is accepted, and even encouraged. For some the outside the box thinking turns into a thesis or dissertation. For some the outside the box thinking allows them to connect with their students in a new and revolutionary way, opening the world while opening minds. At first Ron thought outside the box, but just never bothered to tell school administrators about it. He did it his way. And look at where he is now. (Again, what does this tell us about public education today.) Ron thinks outside the box and so do I. And the gems we find outside the box we do not GIVE to the students, we encourage them to break out of the box and find their own gems themselves. I think we rob our children when we toss knowledge to them and never make them find it themselves. Robert Heinlein once said "Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy." Ron has been so successful that this fall he is opening a school, The Ron Clark Academy. The school will serve two purposes. First, it will obviously be a place of great learning for its students. But even more important, it will be a learning lab for educators who will come and observe Ron and his amazing faculty at work at the academy. I think it is very very fitting that the people who were once telling Ron he could not think outside the box but must follow the rules are now climbing over each other to come to Ron's school and see education using Ron's Essential 55 Rules. In talking to Ron I told him that I have found that some of the adults I teach are in need of his rules, too. If you haven't read his book it is more a book on manners than a true "education" book. But I have noticed over the years a decline in the manners of children and young adults, and sadly they're now to the age of being in college, and joining the working world. We are now living and working with the products of years of "making their lives easy." On more than one occasion on the base I have had a student come through my class who quite simply could not read. It makes me very sad and very angry. It is sad because being illiterate is perhaps one of the worst handicaps there is. Society is less tolerant of illiteracy than blindness, deafness, or immobility. But more importantly, I am angry because it took a series of teachers to work together to screw these people. By simply overlooking and ignoring the problem and passing them on along, teacher have doomed them to a life of struggle. The TO's (the maintanence manuals) for the Air Force are written to the 9th grade level, despite a requirement that you be a high school graduate to get a job. The 9th grade reading level is to reduce any confusion on complicated instructions. If someone cannot even read to the 3rd grade level what does that tell you? I wish Ron the greatest of success. He and I have a handshake agreement. He'll do his best to produce well educated, well mannered students at his level, and I'll do my best to catch the ones that got away, and turn them around. We both know it is too big a job to handle ourselves, but it has to start somewhere. And thank goodness for guys like Ron with the courage to stand up to anyone and everyone for what is good, and right. And to defend children from public education, if that is what it takes.   |

How to make me very angry
| Almost a year ago (May 11th) I posted about the Krystal on Watson Blvd in Warner Robins being robbed. At the time I wondered what was wrong with the world. It's not just Krystal getting robbed. I know there are lots of places getting robbed. We have a local Taco Bell that got robbed like 3 times in a 2 month span. In that case it is completely due to location (right beside the interstate, and nothing open nearby at night). But this incident hit home. MY Krystal got robbed this week. My Krystal may not be in the greatest location, but it's not a horribly crime riddled section of town. I do believe that Macon's recent decision to enact pan handling laws has pushed some less desirables out of the city and into the surrounding areas. There are now 3 or 4 "gentlemen" who stand at the off ramps of I-75 about 2 miles down the road with "Homeless, anything will help, God bless" signs. They are there every day, and if you arrive at the right time you can see them debate over who gets which corner. The day after the city ordinance was passed I got approached inside the Kroger grocery store around the corner from my house. A year or two ago there was a police station in that Kroger but the city moved that station to another location that was "a better deal." (Since that time it has become clear it was not a better deal, but that's my city for ya. Instant graft-ification.) If there's one thing in this world you don't do it is mess with my family. While the people at Krystal may not be blood related, they have opened their arms and heart to me and I have accepted them as a part of my life. That's a lot closer than some "families" can claim in these days (see also Jerry Springer, and Dr. Phil). The last robbery, in Warner Robins, I offered a sack full of Krystals to anyone who helps Warner Robins police catch the people responible. Well this time it is different. This one is MY family. This time I am upping the reward. I am offering a 24 pack, the famous Krystal Steamer pack. It only seems appropriate, since I am so extremely steamed over this whole event. There's something going horribly wrong with society today, folks. I don't know exactly what it is but we had better figure it out soon. When Krystal, the source of all that is warm, tasty, and delicious, becomes the target of scum and losers, it is a sure sign that the world is tearing itself apart.  |

Hot Cold, Baby!
| The new KLHOF Inductees are rolling in. Some are gettign announced at Krystal Lovers Blog some are being sent out via the Krystal Lover's Lounge over at www.krystal.com and some you just have to know where to look (like the email Jennifer sent me last week). Well we now have another KLHOF member in the Macon-Warner Robins area: The article is once again by the excellent Macon Telegraph writer, Ed Grisamore. And he mentions me as well as Johnny Solomon, the rest of the Macon area Hall of Famers. (If you follow the link right quick and scroll down he mentions Bill Buckley, who helped Ed write a book titled "Once Upon a Whoopee" about the first macon hockey team in the early 70's. Great book, good stories.) I also got an email yesterday fro Michael in Augusta whos son, Bailey (age 7) was inducted recently. Bailey is inductee #43 and loves Krystal's french fries! (I can't argue with that, Bailey!) Michael found me thru this web site. He also sent along a few nice pictures from his son's induction. Welcome to the Hall of Fame, Bailey!  And that leads me right into my main purpose of today's post. It's all about temperature. I know Krystal always leans on their small hot steamy burgers and buns. But some times, cold is good, too. Here's my example:  Now the main thing to pay attention to in the picture is...(yes it has been a long lead up, and I hope it's worth it) The Ketchup. You'll notice packets of ketchup from Krystal, as well as my big bottle of ketchup from the fridge. If you're paying attention you'll know the Krystals do not have ketchup (that would be in an orange "special" box. See my Krystal Box collection web page, linked to the left.) The way I see it, if you want ketchup in your Krystal, you have 3 choices:
My friend Brian goes with the "dunk" method. He empties a bunch of packets on his tray then dunks his Krystals. I have done that on occasion, too. It gives you maximum control over the ketchup koverage, but tends to leave a mess behind. Once I found out Krystals would add ketchup for you, I went "all the way" for years. It's just easier like that. Though on one occasion someone interpreted "All the way" to mean "Mayo." That scarred me for life. I never said "All the way" again. The down side of "all the way" is that if you don't eat them soon, the ketchup gets warm and not so tasty. When my Krystal Box came out, it had to be a cheese Krystal, so no more "add ketchup." It was once again "packet time." These days I have them add ketchup sometimes or I grab my own packets. I never put much thought into it anymore. When I first started working on the base way back in 2002, my co-worker Jarrett and I discovered the wonder that is: Kold Ketchup. We had Jarrett's big fridge (that you may have seen back in Sept. as I returned it to him in Florida) in the office and it was convenient to keep a bottle of ketchup in it. We were delighting in our chilled ketchupy goodness. On our fries, on our burgers, on ice cream sandwiches. Ok, well maybe not the ice cream. But there was cold ketchup everywhere. This past week, when I saw the new boxes at Krystal, I decided to forgo the "add ketchup" so I could get the new KLHOF boxes. I picked up my packs of ketchup as usual. But then once I arrived home, it hit me. I had a big frosty bottle of ketchup in the fridge. And oh what a good night it was. Hot steamy Krystals, cold delicious ketchup. Heaven. Absolute heaven. Now hopefully you will have the opportunity to apply my hot/cold technology to your next batch of Krystals (or Chiks) and you'll understand what I mean. I don't advise bringing your own cold bottle of ketchup to Krystal, however. Not that they would kick you out. No, other patrons will be trying to mooch some kold ketchup off of you and you'll have nothing left to enjoy on your hot apple pie. If you like it that way, I mean. |

Square Peg, Round Hole
Obviously, Krystal has a thing for squares.
Now here's where Krystal throws a curve. (Get it? A curve? Oh, yeah, you dont get the joke, yet.) All my life I have heard the saying about the "Square peg" and the "Round hole." Now why the hole is round and not the peg, I do not know. However, I struggled for years to understand the problem. If the square peg wont fit in the round hole, get a bigger hole or a smaller peg. Or get a sturdy knife and whittle the corners off the peg. But then I always was one to think outside the box (square, whatever). Well, somehow, thru the power of the Krystal the square peg round hole situation has been resolved. At breakfast. OK, run to Krystal right now (while they're still serving breakfast) and order a Sausage Gravy Scrambler combo. It comes with a side of Kryspers or a biscuit. Get the biscuit. Also order a Sunriser on the side. Or, you could just enjoy mine:  The sausage gravy scrambler comes in a bowl, a ROUND bowl. And yet, we have shown the biscuits are square. The scrambler is made by placing half the square biscuit on the bottom of the round bowl, then putting sausage on top of that, and then a heavy helping of real sausage gravy. Finally the square biscuit top if placed last. So yes there are squares in the circle. Now let's back up and address the sausage. The Sunriser is square and that means the egg, cheese and sausage on it are also square. Square Eggs? Well that's another story. The square sausage is the important part. Krystal has square sausage.  To show that Krystal has mastered not only the mini-burger world, but the world of geometry. So take that Pythagoras! (And for the record, I have been called a square on more than one occasion in my life.) |

This just in...
| Jennifer in Orlando sends this news clip in: Burger Fan Flies 150 Miles For A Bite You know, as I read the stories of the new ranks of inductees, one things is clear to me. After years of people telling me I was nuts with my whole "Krystal Thing" and on occasion believing them, I am comforted to see that there are others like me. Those who have a passion for Krystals and are willing to go above and beyond for the things they love. I use the word "passion" and "Krystals" in the same sentence and I do it quite often. Sadly, in today's society, the word "passion" has been corrupted by bad movies and even worse novels. I subscribe to the classic definition of the word "passion." No I don't mean the Christ/crucifixion definition. I mean passion in terms of great desire for something. I often wonder if those who try to insult my passion do so simply because they lack passion in their own lives. I have known a few people who appeared to lack any passion in their lives. I can't help but feel sorry for them. While being passionate about one thing is good, the more things you can be passionate about, the better. I try to live my life filled with passion. Krystals, computers, math, hockey, cooking, travel. They all make my nerves tingle, my eyes dance, and my tail wag. If you feel your life lacks a bit of that feeling, perhaps you should try and find something to be passionate. While I would never suggest it must be Krystals, would that really be such a bad thing? The new Krystal Lover's HOF boxes should be hitting the streets soon. You can see brief stories on the newest inductees as they're inducted, over at Krystal-Lovers Blog |

Home Chiks
| As you may have noticed, the Spicy Chiks are no longer on the menu at Krystal. They were apparently a short run special. I remember when I found out they were gone. I stopped by one afternoon and, noting the missing Spicy Chik sign, I asked if they were gone. I was told that all that remained was a little of the honey mustard sauce, but that was it. I don't do honey mustard anything so it was all over as far as I was concerned. A shame, too, because I was hoping to try some of that tasty BBQ sauce on a pup and a Krystal. Now here's where the story gets strange. Over on Krystal-Lovers blog apparently some people have gotten upset enough to start a petition to bring back the Spicy Chiks. Now they were good, and I wouldn't mind their return to the menu full time, but a petition? If you crave em that much, there's an even easier solution: Make Your Own   Now while everyone has been all concerned about the toppings and sauces on the Chiks, you might have also noticed the Chiks got a little bigger a couple of months back. Now I am far too much of a gentleman to point out publicly when a cute little chik has put on a little here or there, but in this case it works out well. I admit it, I prefer thicker chiks to skinny chiks. I suspect deep down everyone feels the same way. Sometimes I see skinny Chiks in magazines and on TV and I feel sorry for them. They look sad, and sickly. So I say hurray for the new Chiks! Saucy, spicy, sassy or plain, I love em all. Dress em up, dress em down, I think they're great. Unless they have mayo on them. Then they're walking home.  |

Every girl's crazy for a sharp dressed man!
| So with my recent Peep & Cocoa picture I got an email asking why I didn't use a Krystal coffee mug. Well the simple answer is, I don't have one. Occasionally, on E-bay you see the older ones pop up that were actually used in a Krystal. Often the prices for those skyrocket. I'm not sure I want one THAT bad. But while skimming the worlds largest yard sale, I found an item that simply made my jaw drop: The bottom line is this: if you get your hands on this costume, or know the person who does, I wanna know. I'm coming over to get my picture taken with the Krystal Guy!      |

It lasted HOW LONG?!?
| For those who felt I may have been exaggerating last night about the demands of hockey (both playing at watching) you may wish to have a look at some results from last night:Vancouver beats Dallas in 4 OT and San Jose beats Nashville in 2 OT. So 4 games into the playoffs and we've already had two games go into multiple overtimes, and one game was over five hours long. Thankfully, I never even got started on the Vancouver game. I never would have made it to work this morning. If 138 minutes of playing time (basically like 2 back to back games and then some) sounds painful, keep in mind it's not even close to the record. The NHL's Longest game is 6 OT. Thats like playing 3 games in a row. Ouch! Back in 2002, Macon was involved in the longest game in CHL history. I wasn't there but I listened to the entire thing on the radio. The game was so long that my friend Kim and I woke up the next morning and drove to the Centreplex to meet the team bus as it arrived from Fayetteville, and then we drove on to work. We talked briefly to the goalie, Brian Elder, who said he was angry at the loss and was going to play in the next game, that night, no matter what our coach thought. In the article, if you click through the pictures on the right side, you'll see a close up of (then) Fayetteville coach David "Low-Rider" Lohrei. In the background you can see Assistant Coach for Macon (and a friend of mine) Joe Suk, and also barely see Macon coach, Graeme Townshend. While digging up the web sites for the longest games, I found This web site. While the information is certainly interesting and useful, I was quite impressed with the web site's address. Now why didn't I think of that? Now as for me, Tonights games include the Red Wings' opener against Calgary. In fact it is starting right now. So you'll pardon me for bailing out. I have a sack full of chili cheese Krystals and some hockey to catch up with! |

Two months of insomnia
| As you probably already know, I am a bit of a hockey fan. I have been for about 10 years now. I started by watching the NHL and then was lucky enough to get a minor-pro team dropped in my lap here in Macon. Sadly, local hockey is gone and I must drive long distances for live games. And I get the occasional game on TV. Last season I coughed up the money for NHL Center Ice on digital cable. I learned then that there is such a thing as too much hockey. For 8 straight months, from about 7pm until 3am there's anywhere from 2 to 5 hockey games on TV at any time. Three weeks into the season I was a zombie. Well you don't have to order Center Ice to overdose on hockey for the next 2 months. That's right, it's Playoff Time! Playoffs in hockey are often called "The Second Season" because the regular season lasts roughly 7 months (82 games) and the playoffs last up to 2 more months. Playoffs start tonight. Thankfully the NHL gives a 3 day break between the end of the season and the start of playoffs. I need the time to "prep" and also stock up on much needed sleep and laundry. I wont have any more time til June. If you think I am blowing this out of proportion you should take a peek at This article. All of it is more or less true. When I say I "prepare" for the playoffs, it can be an extensive process. I scout the teams and match ups online. I print up required documentation for tracking all of the teams and series. If you want to join in the fun you'll need to print up the following and hang it on the wall at home and at work. (Like I did.) First Round Schedule Playoff Brackets Don't bother trying to fully understand the brackets. The NHL changes how they run the playoffs every few years. Just remember this: the first round of the playoffs makes sense (first place plays last place, etc). After the first round it is chaos as all teams are re-seeded. It's a big mess. But that's half the fun: never knowing exactly who your second round opponent is until almost the entire first round is done. It really came into play last year when the brackets were utterly busted apart. Half the series in the first round were upsets. This included the #1 team in the league, my beloved Red Wings, being knocked off by one of the lowest ranked teams. It eases the pain a bit to know the team that knocked the Wings off, Edmonton, made it all the way to game 7 of the finals. If you choose to start watching hockey this year, a few items you may wish to look into. To see the early stages of greatness, tune into Penguins games to watch Sid Crosby Sidney's name has been tossed aroud in hockey circles for years (that means since he was about 15). Three years ago i was watching video clips of him from juniors making several "impossible" goals. The kind of goals that forced the referee to have to stop play and check the rule books because no one had ever done them before. I am wary of players who are dubbed "great" before they ever touch the ice. Players in juniors often lack real competition since the abundance of teams causes a diluted player pool. However, once Sid hit the NHL, he gained skilled team mates to match skilled opponents. He has thrived ever since. He is absolutely worth watching. For the not so pretty side of hockey, I discovered this afternoon that Don Cherry will be covering some NBC games this year. If you have't ever experienced Don Cherry, you should give him a peek. He's loud. His clothes are louder. He's quite obnoxious. And yet he's beloved in Canada. If you can't stand him and feel you must change the channel, I am sure you're not alone. I can only take himin small doses. As for me personally. I have been a Red Wings fan since I first started watching hockey back in 1995. I was lucky enough to have joined the Red Wings Nation prior to them winning their back to back Championships. However that also meant I suffered the years they lost the heart breakers. Those seasons taught me you shouldn't hang all your hopes on one team. So i started watching Buffalo because of a goalie named Hasek. Often refered to as the goalie with a slinky for a spine. Oddly enough, Hasek now plays for Detroit. I still watch and root for Buffalo. And coincidentally, Buffalo is now the best team in the league. (Detroit is right behind them in the standings). I also got hooked on Pittsburgh a few years ago. Partly because Mario Lemeux (the player Sid Crosby is compared to) came out of retirement. He was also amazing. I can only imagine how amazing he was in his uninjured prime. Pittsburgh hasn't made the playoffs in a while, but Sid Crosby (yes the same Sid) has single handedly pulled the team from the bottom of the league back to the playoffs. Yes, he IS that good. So what does this mean? Well it means that almost every night for the next 2 weeks there is at least one "must watch" game on TV for me. Needless to say this means my meals and sleep will have to adjust to the new schedule. For some reason, work remains inflexible and insists I come in and work "normal" hours. I suspect my VCR will also be getting a work out as well. (What do you mean, TiVo?) With all of that said, for the next couple of weeks, you may see and hear much less from me. If/when you do hear from me it's likely to be a confused conversation from lack of sleep. And the few bits that do come thru will likely be hockey related. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I love this time of year. |

I better not hear one more Peep!
Yes, this will be my last Peep-Post for this year, as far as I know. And sadly, it's not nearly as "inspired" as the previous posts. But to be complete in my Peepology, I feel I simply must cover the two obvious ones: Well, with Mr. Peepers, that won't work. Remember, the microwave causes him to grow to gigantic proportions. By the time the hot chocolate is hot enough to be any good, you'll have burned marshallow all over the inside of your microwave, and the neighbors will have a petition started to get you run out of town because of the smell. So of course you make the hot chocolate first and then drop Peepers in after it comes out of the microwave.  As I mentioned previously, I am a Boy Scout (Eagle Scout) and love nothing better than a hot cracklin' fire to cook some marshmallows. Sadly, roaring camp fires are against my insurance policy. So I must turn to the stove.   (Kids, be sure to get your parents permission before you burn stuff up on the stove.) |

Yo! Peep this!
OK so last night we made Rice Krispy Peeps. All well and good and tasty. But when you were a Boy Scout for 8 years, there's really only one recipe when it comes to cooking with Marshmallow. I have a gas stove. Everyone I know (including my sister in law, Amy, the chef) swears by a gas stove. I hate it personally. However, it does roast marshmallows real nice! But more on that tomorrow! With actual flame broling out of the picture it was back to the trusty microwave.    PS Chris emailed to tell my that tonight's South Park episode will reveal the birth of the Easter Peeps. I'm not much of a South park fan, but it will be interesting to see their take on it. After all, CNN ran a short peice on them yesterday, too. |

Hangin wid ma peeps!
After my recent post about the wonders of Peeps, I got an email from Bob asking how my friends the Peeps feel about Rice Krispies. I felt this was a rather odd question, so I went to ask my Peeps about them.  Today, me and my peeps beat "Lucky" Our cereal has "Yellow Peeps!" Take THAT you crazy Leprechaun! With the less than stellar result in the addition of peeps to a bowl of Rice Krispies, it then occurred to me. It's not about adding peeps to a bowl of cereal. No, it's something completely different and diabolical.  Yeah, you know where this is going, don't ya?  A Peep after about 10 seconds on high.  The same peep after about 15 seconds.  And after 20 seconds. Be thankful you can't smell the burned sugar!  Rice Krispy Peeps Well actually, I do. But you'll have to come back tomorrow to see them! |

KLHOF Induction NOW!
| Just got word that there is a Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame induction starting at 6:30. That's NOW. You can catch it on the Krystal Web Cam. Technically you should go thru the Krystal Lover's Lounge on the Krystal.com web site. Then go to your own profile and click on the web cam icon. However, you may be able to access it directly from This link. If it doesn't work, don't blame me. Here's the email I got with details on the inductees: Krystal will be holding its first 2007 Krystal Lover Hall of Fame Induction in Chattanooga, TN tonight. The Induction is at 6:30 p.m. and will be broadcasted live via our webcam. Just click on the webcam icon located on your profile page and enjoy the festivities.You'll be able to see on the web just how all out the folks at Krystal HQ go for their hall of famers. Tableclothes and balloons at Krystal. I just saw Kenny walk past the web cam in his coat and tie. All very spiffy and very very cool. Congrats to all the new inductees, my fellow Hall of Famers! |

You could learn a lot from a Peep.
| With Easter looming on the horizon, I once again feel the need to bring in the Peeps for a little fun in honor of one of my all time favorite web sites www.peepresearch.org. The title of this post is of course an homage to Vince and Larry, The Crash Test Dummies. (Not to be confused with These idiots. And yes I know it would have sounded better if I had gone with "Bunnies" instead of "Peeps" but frankly, the bunnies don't have butts, and there's something seriously wrong when a bunny doesn't have a butt. Be that as it may, I spent some time today contemplating Peeps and what they might teach us in a Zen sort of fashion. Somehow let the Peeps speak to us and help us to be more Peepish. So without an further delay, here are a few lessons from my friends, the Peeps: 1) No matter what color you are, yellow, pink, purple, blue, white, or whatever, Peeps are really all the same. What a wonderful statement on race relations. After all we are all the same color on the inside. (Please trust me on that. Do not go cutting people open to check!) 2) Peeps are very environmentally aware. In fact you never see Peeps traveling by themselves. They always car pool in groups of 5:  3) Peeps are great at teamwork. Peeps stick together!  4) Peeps are all about recycling. Have you tried "Peep Poop" TM on your cereal in the morning? YUMMY!  5) Even when seperated from the group, Peeps are still very resilient.  (Bet you can't tell I whacked the heck out of the one on the left and he came right back for more) 6) Peeps know what it takes to survive in today's corporate world. When you've had your head bit off in one meeting, and gotten your butt chewed in another, Peeps just keep moving right along. Nothing gets them down.  So let this be a lesson to you. When life gets tough and things just don't seem to go your way, think of the mighty Peep and take strength from their teachings. Sure they may be squishy and exceptionally sweet, but they haven't an ounce of fat on them, and if you leave them alone on the counter til Halloween, they'll be tough enough to chip your tooth! Yes for the record I left out a lot of other great Peep facts. Like have you ever floated a peep in your coffee or hot chocolate in the morning. Sure some people in the staff meeting with stare at you, but deep down they'll all be jealous of you. |
