yesterday we picked up cookies - I started in the morning unloading the unit cookies, then loading each troop's cookies, then unloading my own troop's cookies, then loading my girl's cookies, then unloading my girl's cookies, and today, finally, we loaded and delivered the individual orders.
what a freakin' process.

I have few boxes coming from a co-worker, but I can't remember what I ordered.


I know for sure I didn't order them from the girl scout making the rounds in your neighborhood, Sarge. Yikes! Those socks don't even match the skirt.


PS: anyone tried those Reeses PB Cookies? Oh, baby!

We bought some from the neighbor girl that came to the door.

Yesterday, we went to a hardware store. They had a table set up with Girl Scout cookies, a few feet away from a fertilizer display. Imagine those cookies are going to taste a might like the lawn smells after its fertilized.

Girl scout cookies are like beer for me. If there’s a 6 pack I’m drinking a 6 pack. If there’s a 12 pack, I’m drinking a 12 pack. If there’s two boxes of cookies, I’m eating two boxes.

They’re evil!

Those Lemon Cooler cookies are the evil ones.
My new fav. I ate the whole dang box watching TV.

My wife didn’t like the new café` cookies so she gave me both boxes. You want something good? Make tiny ice cream sandwiches with them and vanilla ice cream. If you don’t spooge in your pants, your mouth is dead. LOL!

My grandgirl and I had ice cream and cookies for breakfast yesterday before heading out to deliver the orders.

I had thanks-a-lot cookies (shortbread w/chocolate) with some kind of mocha, chocolate syrup, chocolate crunchy ice cream. yum.

I always order about 20 boxes and kill them off over the course of a couple of months.

Just discovered that Thin Mints are actually GOOD FOR YOU!!

(zero grams of trans fat)

Ok, there is trans fat in it, but they don't report it as such. Scammers.

I do love those Lemon Cookies
I think I got ripped off by a grifter, posing as a Scout Mother. She even had two little Scout age girls with her.

She asked for the money up front, and said she would bring the cookies later.

I only paid for one box, anyway.

Hell, I think I would pay extra for them to never deliver the damn things.

NGB brought in 4 boxes last night and before I even knew what was happening, I had a handfull of lemonade cookies and was stuffing them in my mouth as fast as I could chew.

I just hated myself after I finished them off.

I think with all the cookies the girl scouts sell, they should do more - or at least let people know what they do.

I always hear of the Boy Scouts doing actual projects in the community - but they don't beg me for money.

You'd think you'd hear more of the girl scouts considering all that money they make.

You've never had a boy scout beg for money? Geezzz... maybe you just live in the wrong area. Those boys plead for popcorn money around every corner up here at the right time of year - and I think every parent where I work has one and is selling it for them. Although I do agree they appear more in the public and doing things in the community... so ya got me there.

Never heard of Boy Scout Popcorn.

Maybe it's a regional thing.

Sarge, I think you are just one of the lucky ones to never get nailed by the little buggers... it is actually a country wide huge program for the boy scouts. But they get A LOT more of the proceeds than the Girl Scouts do from their cookie sales.

I had never browsed the website before today, but the top sellers from 2006 are listed by region of the country... they are from all over. The top sellers from 2006 were from California, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Indiana

The popcorn thing is a national Boy Scout fundraiser. Has been for quite a few years too. Our troop took part halfheartedly.
