I bought 5 boxes, and was forced to give two of them to my mother just to get them out of the house. Thin Mints…\ ---

Why can’t the Girl Scouts sell heathly snacks like carrots and celery sticks? 😃 ---

I don’t have any GS cookies but I had Ben&Jerry’s for breakfast this morning. Hey, it’s finals week. Calories don’t count. ---

Ohhh…I’m going to buy some tomorrow. _Damn._ I just found out Tagalogs are not available in every state. Apparently I can’t get them in Michigan, according to my local GSC pusher. ---

> [@blondebear](#): > > Why can’t the Girl Scouts sell heathly snacks like carrots and celery sticks? 😃 Because they can’t put in the secret ingredient: crack. Well, that’s my theory, anyways. How else are they so damned addictive? Speaking of, I think we have some Tagalongs-my cousin’s in GS. ---

I bought some Thin Mints on my way put of the grocery store a couple days ago. I am not supposed to eat those. At all. But I did. I ended up sealing the cookies in a tupperware with duct tape, stacking it on top of my husband’s lunch for him to take in the morning, with a note stuck to it: “CRACK! CRACK! THIS IS CRACK FROM THE GIRL SCOUTS! TAKE IT AWAY! CRACK!” And one more, smaller “CRACK!” fit onto the bottom of the note. ---

Ha! Only one and a half boxes in two days. It’s not fair, I just started Weight Watchers again… how am I ever supposed to keep to my points limit with trefoils & thin mints in the world? Stupid Girl Scouts. With their delicious cookies. ---

I was seriously thinking of sneaking out today to the nearby QFC and buying up some more from those little cretins. And I woke up with a raging flu, and was going to go anyway. Armed with flu medicine and my tissue box. I’d probably scare them. Wait, maybe that’s a good angle… scare them all away, steal the cookies… yes. (Are they charging you guys $4 a box? Why, when\*\* I\*\* was a Girl Scout… _grumble grumble_) They’re going to be wheeling me into the emergency room with a busted gallbladder, and me covered in empty cookie boxes. I’ll wave the empty boxes at people, high on morphine, screaming, “_IT WAS WORTH IT_!” ---

We bought some Thin Mints the other day. The girls had a bunch of different varieties but I didn’t see any Tagalongs. They’d better not be hoarding them all for themselves. Hoarding makes your merit badges fall off. It’s a baaad, baaad thing. Tsk, tsk. ---

> [@bonobo\_jones](#): > > $3.50 for 9oz of cookies here, holy crap. You pay $4.00? That’s what they were going for a couple days ago outside the grocery store a couple blocks from my place, yep. When I was a Girl Scout, we sold 'em for a buck. That was in 1986. 20 years ago. Holy cow, when did I start getting old?! _No one informed me_! :eek: ---

I got Do-Si-Dos, Samoas and Thin Mints delivered to my door on Sunday by real girl scouts. We still have a few cookies left. Just a few. 😃 ---

GS cookies here are 4 bucks a box. When I was a GS they were 2.50 Damn, and smaller now too, twice the price half the cookie!! ---

My daughter is a Brownie. Pity me. My family of 4 tore through 10 boxes of GS cookies in less than two days. I still have about 75 boxes sitting in my living room waiting to be delivered; I’d better do it soon or my husband is going to crack.
