Chef Jim Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I"m so glad everyone in my office is either too old or too young to have girls scout age kids in the house. I've not had even a whiff of GS cookies in two years.

Chef Jim Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 You don't like any variety of GS cookies? Oh no I do. I just don't need the calories and I'm not a big fan of guilt marketing.
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Gotta go with thin mints or Tag-alongs. The only problem is now each box has about 4 cookies in it. That is one way to stay thin... The GS's were ahead of this whole portion control thing that other companies are catching on to by shaving off the amount of their product in a package. From the perspectie of guys, don't most things involving the finer gender turn controversial at some point? it.'s the old mars venus thing I suppose you are right... Then take the Boy Scout philosophy about doing stuff for no fee or cost... Man did the Girl Scouts school them about doing things the "American way!" They, the BSA have been playing catch-up ever since... They can take their crappy popcorn and stuff it! Edited March 8, 2011 by BuffaloBill

Run drugs, prostitution rings, payday loans?
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I was not a boy scout .... what the heck do they do to raise money? Run drugs, prostitution rings, payday loans? Crappy "gourmet" popcorn (Trail's End). Anyway... Scouting was invented in Britain... Then came to America first with Boys... I don't think they ever planned on having to deal with "money" as I stated with their philosophy... Oh... What a "slight" oversight... Edited March 8, 2011 by ExiledInIllinois
Fezmid Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I was not a boy scout .... what the heck do they do to raise money? Run drugs, prostitution rings, payday loans? They sell Christmas wreathes here. And the popcorn.
BuffaloBill Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 They sell Christmas wreathes here. That is emasculating .... do they have to wear pink uni's?

Just Jack Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 They sell Christmas wreathes here. And the popcorn. The troop I was in sold Christmas trees. We'd go to a tree farm, get a few hundred trees, set up in our local downtown park, and resell them at a tidy profit.
Chandler#81 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Pretty funny story, at least I think it is funny. When I was in my mid twenties a year or 2 out of college my friends & I went down to Savannah, Georgia one year for St Patty's weekend. Well, on St patty's day we were in the town square where all the festivities were & we were doing funnels. People must not do funnels down in the south because people were amazed at what we doing to the point where there was a large crowd gathering around us just watching us do funnels. Well anyways, there was a Girl Scout group selling cookies so one loud mouth in the crowd out of nowhere says he will buy $200 worth of cookies if me or one of my friends did a 4 beer funnel. Now at the point I was probably the best funnel man among my friends & I at the time. I did 2 beer funnels before & on occasion a 3 beer funnel, but never a 4 beer funnel. Well the whole crowd starts chanting "for the kids! for the kids!" & I basically had no choice but to do the dreaded 4 beer funnel. Somehow I got it down. We made sure the guy paid the girls, the mother with the girls thanked me for taking one for the team. I waited to things calmed down & found the nearest parking garage, went into a secluded corner & just starting hurling. I hope those girl scouts appreciated it. Way to throw down (up?) for the GSA!! Loved the Savannahs. They're called something else now..

Every single one of those Girl Scouts is/has been in/to rehab!
Kevin Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 That's the cookie all the chicks like. Real men eat Tagalongs. Then give me a tampon, some midol, and call me a chic! Caramel Delights are the best, when refrigerated. Frozen thin mints a close second.
