Evil Girl Scouts


Well...no...not really. It's a fine organization, much better than the homophobic quasi-military group available to boys. Still, I do wish the GSA would quit forcing me to buy their damn cookies every year.

Of course, girl scouts don't actually sell the cookies to me. I get them from the mothers of girl scouts at my place of work. They usually hit me up on my way to the vending machines or scouring the break room for some left over snack; when I'm so hungry that you could sell me gum scraped off the bottom of a chair. The cookies seem good when I order but usually disappoint. Dry, mostly tasteless, and expensive....about 15 cents per itty bitty cookie.

Yet, year after year, I buy a few boxes. Absolutely not a good thing to be chomping on while trying to lose weight.

I do it for the girls.

You aren't the only one who gets suckered every year. It almost seems like a competition at my workplace to see which Mom can get to me first.

But I have to say, I have a weakness for those samoa cookies. Carmel, coconut, and chocolate - OH MY!

I have to admit that those samoas are pretty good.

I did order at least one box of the reduced-fat kind. They're probably gross, but it made me feel not so bad about the rest of my order....
