sapere aude – The new Girl Scout motto: Taking over the country one box of cookies at a time.

Anne-Marie – Too bad I don’t eat enough of them to make it worthwhile to list on my taxes.

I only buy Girl Scout cookies as a TAX-FREE DONATION. That’s right folks, a portion of what you pay for them can be written off. With that said, I like the generic “thin mints” I buy at Safeway. They’re bigger, thicker and waaaay cheaper.

What a story! You’re right about them though… I swear, they’re being trained to run this country… soon enough. Stay tuned.

Matt – Knowing many Samoans, I definitely wouldn’t want to offend them, because they could kick my ass.

Travis – You say Omorosa, I say Amarosa. You say tomato, I say tomatah. Let’s call the whole thing off. (Sorry to the young kids for the old time reference).

I suppose we’re just splitting hairs here, but it’s Omorosa, though I do hate legimitizing her by pointing that out. Also, I got mine for 3.50/box, but that’s because I have a source deep within Girl Scouts corperate. The only downside — greatly reduced ‘awwww cute’ factor when not buying from real girls.

I heard on the radio this morning that Samoas, have a new name, Caramel Delights, I think Samoans took offense, damn politically correct world, is nothing Sacred?

Webmiztris – Eh, you probably won’t have to pay $4. It seems like EVERYONE else hasn’t paid $4.

Stacey – If I did put a warning, I would have to put it on EVERY post, because every post is funny. Okay, not really. Only 1 out of every 8 are actually any good.

Lou – Mmm…Thin Mints and peanut butter. I tried it and it actually tastes pretty good. Nice suggestion.

Grins – Hi Grins, I’m here for your intervention.

laanba – Um…But it’s a MCDONALD’S mushroom and swiss quarter pounder. If anyone will ruin one, it would be McDonald’s.

Goldberry – That’s just my life I guess, to be forever outwitted by girls. Damn, their sugar, spice, and everything nice!

laanba – Wow, I guess Thin Mints are really popular. Or they’re building demand for them, so they can jack the price because of it’s popularity. Oh, those sneaky Girl Scouts.

Chris Velazco – Oh there’s nothing like mint vomit. The mint slightly intensifies the burn of the vomit.

I remember one night, when I was about 13 or 14, I polished off half a box of Thin Mints. Everything thing was fine until around 3 in the morning, when I (under the throes of previously dormant stomach virus) began to throw up everything I ate in the last 36 hours, and the Thin Mints were up first. The taste of mint and chocolate, combined with the already rancid pizza-and-orange juice taste of your standard vomit was not unlike my mouth being raped.

I never ate Thin Mints again. The moral of the story? Screw Girl Scouts.

Oh one more thing. I was told I’m not getting my order until two weeks from now. What’s up with that? You can use my $3 for haggling, because I’m calling my contact tomorrow and asking what’s up. I mean if you already have thin mints on the islands why can’t I have them!
