That’s right, ladies and gentlemen! It is almost that time of year! What time you ask? Why- Girl Scout Cookie Time! I don’t think I have ever been more excited about a box of cookies in my entire life. Peanut butter patties…nummy. My only gripe…why, oh why! must I wait two more weeks? Man, that was super- Mundane and Pointless ---

Because in two weeks, we will be closer to Easter. I don’t think I’d make it through Lent if I had to resist Girl Scout Cookies as well as the dish of candy at the receptionist’s desk. ---

We don’t seem to have any girl scounts around here. ☹ Does anyone know where I can find me some cookies in New Jersey? ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Already got my fix in with the local dealer. Massive amounts of Thin Mints will soon be mine! For a substitue Thin Mint fix once you run out (or to tide you over), try the Hersey’s Cookies, the York Peppermint Patty ones. Not quite like a Thin Mint, but pretty close. 🙂 * * * \<\< I keep hitting the escape key, but I’m still here! \>\> ---

I’ve always bought the cookies, up until this year. They went up to $4 a box! That is outrageous. Of course, they always end up selling them outside of the grocery stores, so if I break down I can always get _my_ fix- I like the peanut-butter sandwich ones. With a big glass of milk, mmmmm. $4 a box!! :mad: ---

There must be some regional timing differences - mine already came and went\*. Only time of year that I eat cookies. \*[sub]For the most part; I’m holdin’ out a box of Peanut Butter Patties.[/sub] ---

I love Tagalogs and Samoas. And the Girl Scout cookies aren’t bad either. ---

My roommate bought four boxes of cookies to support the neighborhood, and he doesn’t even have a big sweet tooth! So now I can share Thin Mints, Animal Shortbreads, Caramel Coconut (I think these used to be called Samoas, which were my favorites), and new Strawberry Pinatas! Woo hoo! ---

Strawberry Piñatas? We don’t get those up here!! ☹ At least the boxes are still $3.50 though, whew! ---

Wow, the prices really must vary regionally. I only paid $3 a box for my fix. They came in this morning (well, yesterday after I left work.) 2 boxes of Samoas (my faves) 2 boxes of Thin Mints 2 boxes of Tagalongs 1 box of All Abouts 1 box of (well, it was the lemon cookie ones, but I helped out a cow-orker & traded for a box of Trefoils.) I’m set for the duration. Mmmmmm, frozen Thin Mints. 😉 ---

I know people sell them on Ebay…don’t know how safe that is, though. The Girl Scouts have a website that I am entirely too lazy to look up, I’m sure they have a contact page. I assure you there are Girl Scouts somewhere around you. **silenus** You…you…YOU BASTARD!!! :eek: :mad: Honestly, the Peanut butter patty thing- whatever it’s called- so good. Orgasmically good. I would give up sex for a month if I could have as many of these cookies as I wanted- for free. I completely agree that $4 a box is a lot. I’m still buying 6. :eek: 😃 ---

Yeah! If the Girl Scout Cookies are here then that means it is only a short time until… EDY’S GIRL SCOUT COOKIE ICE CREAM!!! The Samoa ice cream is absolutely divine. I wait with bated breath every year for this stuff. ---
