Ours is very clear that checks from anyone we don’t personally know should be deposited as council proceeds, and we should pay our troops with the cash and family checks.
I believe the Council then hires Vito and Guido to do collections.
I don’t see the conflict. These are two different badges, right?
Of course they are! One’s got a coat hanger and the other’s got a pair of scissors. It’s hard to mistake the two.
In all seriousness, I got this a lot when I worked for the Census Bureau. People would see the booth and take the opportunity to tee off on whoever was working there that day. I heard right-wing bullshit that Mr. and Mrs. Teabagger got from Michele Bachmann and some sort of crazy left-wing nonsense from Lord knows where. It went from WTF??!!! to amusing fairly quickly. The crazier the bullshit, the funnier it was.
Well, shit. What badge is Sophie’s PRIDE rainbow then? I thought it was for her completing her 15-hours of lesbianism activities?
My girls loved the make your own dildo craft.
No. The scissors badge is for the 15 hours of lesbian activities. The Pride Rainbow is the Dabbler badge. You know, the one they get when they’ve had a taste of everything. 
Was your motorized? Because ours were and it took us forever for Hobby Lobby to locate a small vibrating motor that would work and fit. $125 and 2 weeks later ( :rolleyes: ) Sophie finally had something to present to the troop leader, whom still hasn’t returned it even though I know I saw it in her purse the other day. All I have to say is that biatch better wash that thing before giving it back to my daughter!
Though I will say it was a bit of an embarrassment when the thing fell out of Sophie’s backpack at school. Fortunately, Father Carlos was understanding. Whew!
Here. Read it and gag.
Personally, I would have lectured you for pedalling crack. They’ve got to be putting something in those cookies that makes them so damned addictive.
My zip code, for example, is 93309. When I put that in, it tells me that the nearest cookie booth is 51 miles away in Lancaster. I live in a reasonably large city-- far larger than Lancaster, for example (we’re the 10th largest in California, they are the 30th largest)-- and I know that I randomly stumble on Girl Scouts selling outside of grocery stores and Walmarts each year. Oh, and when you click the link to go to the troop’s website, that gives you a 404 error. So it appears our troop just isn’t on the ball.
That said, I’m happy to know the group in other places is embracing technology. Great thing to teach the girls, if they get a hand in that at all.
No,* those* elves have been reducted into being contortionists for the amusement of Graceland tourists.
You know, sort of like Elvish Pretzels?
Words cannot describe how fabulous I think you are at the moment.
I found a recipe on instructables for GS Thin Mints that actually tastes like Thin Mints which means I’m free! Free, I tell you! I have cookies on MY schedule!
So they did indeed overcharge me? Looks like I’m going to have to go back to the supermarket and have a little talk with the Girl Scouts. (And it won’t be the first time, either.)
I am ASTONISHED sir, to see that you would so wantonly jeopardize your immortal soul.
That was one of the funniest threads I’ve read in a while. Your story was humorous, yes, but it’s the fact that you sent the Woosh factor to warp 11 that makes it a Modern Dope Classic. Good job!
$3.50 doesn’t sound all that much for cookies. Considering they were $2.50 back when I was selling them, oh, about twenty-three years ago? That they only went up a dollar since then, that’s not too bad.
This will go down as a black mark in your permanent record.
My sense is that in addition to modest upticks in the per-box price, they’ve been slowly lowering the number of cookies per box.
Ah, well then that does indeed suck. I notice now they only have two sleeves. (I can’t remember how many there were when I was a kid)
