So I never had to sell cookies. And I never understand why people are so eager to buy them during Girl Scout Cookie season. Order expensive cookies to be delivered later? No thanks. If I am going to want cookies, I will want them NOW, and I will want them to be oreos or cholocate chip - not a fucking coconut or shortbread deal.

I think Pony called you a commie.

There is just something special about Thin Mints, especially when they are kept in the freezer. Pony is right.

It's too early to confuse me like this. I can't follow anything at this hour.

I'm confused too! Help, please.

I don't like thin mints either. I didn't grow up with Girl Scout cookies and they all look a little suspect to me -- Samoans or something? what is that?

I would like to know what badges you earned. Any chance your mom held onto your sash?

I earned the Future Home Wrecker badge and the Party Planner badge. Those have come in handy.

Naw, I believe RT was speaking about someone who passed in her other internet communities that she frequents.

FYI the cookies are SAMOAS. no "n"

I earned the "most likely to be rated a 2.5 on an internet chat board" badge.

Also I think it was revealed that little brownie bakers the makers of Girl Scout Cookies are actually Keebler or some shit. That was upsetting to me.

AoN, the "smile I'm a whore" pin rocks the house. woah.

Dude, I so earned the "my hair is nicer than yours biatch" pin.

Now, Kristianna Loken of Terminator II is the daughter of an organic apple farmer/former atty and his wife is a former model upstate. And now on my gossip website Kristianna is linked to Michelle Rodriguez. wtf? And I also saw on C-L that Kristianna is listed as having herpes. yikes. and she is drop dead hot.

I knew that Girl Scout cookies were made by the Soylent Corporation!

Anyhoo, I don't really want to gorge on the wholesome goodness of people who regularly win World's Strongest Man. It's a little unseemly.

I earned a LOT of badges. Jack-knife safety? Check. Horse Lover? Check. I earned THREE Future Home Wrecker badges PLUS the "Smile! I'm a WHORE!!!!!" pin. I was a good Girl Scout (until I got kicked out....for skipping meetings to make out with boys in an abandoned shed near the meeting site).

I still wear the pin.

I sort of rolled my eyes yesterday when sebby was going on about the lottery people.

But this morning, I had to wait for a pump to free up at the Stop 'n' Go. A lawn service truck and trailer was blocking two pumps on one side. A pick-up truck was filling up at one of the pumps on the other side, and some asshole was just sitting in his minivan at the other pump on that side.

Eventually, the pickup finished filling up and I pulled into his space. The asshole in the minivan got out of his car and went inside.

I set the pump to automatically fill up my car (notice how now that the election is over the gas prices are edging up again? another point for another board... ), and I went inside for diet coke. The first thing I noticed was the smell. The asshole in the minivan was smothered in cologne. I glanced at him standing at the counter and then went in search of diet coke (btw, the polar bears are now on the twelve-packs). I got back to the counter, and cologne asshole is still separating out his lottery tickets. The line is pretty long, and of course there's only one cashier. It takes ten minutes for him to cash in his lottery winnings for more lottery tickets. Everyone else is thoroughly annoyed with him, and there's another line outside waiting for his pump.

Sebby was, it turns out, right.

I was pissed that I could not do that yesterday morning -- no holder thingy on the handle. Stupid 76 station. I wanted to throw away some stuff in the car, though -- does that count as leaving the car unattended?

Are you not supposed to do that because everything might blow up? If everything might blow up, I'd rather be far away. The chances I could keep everything from blowing up, once things were headed that direction, are slim.

I dunno why you're supposed to be there, though I think it's so the car doesn't accidently overfill if the automatic shutoff doesn't work for some reason. I find it to be a collosal waste of time to just stand there by the pump until it's finished filling up and THEN go inside for whatever it is I need / want.
