I feel much better buying popcorn from boy scouts

Daggonit. Would you people quit. Now I'm up to about 5 boxes of the nasty, dry things. I guess I can feed the birds with them. Yes, look at me. I'm such a nature lover. And all-around wonderful person.

Totally. My nieces are Girl Scouts and we settled on buying them a desktop copier for the scout center donated in the girl's names so we could support the local organization without compromising a principle. Of course this doesn't help them with numbers on the cookie sales, but such is life.

Haha! Last year we bought cookies and I had about 10 boxes from the nieces and then the neighbors little girls started coming around. We were drowning in the horrible things. Even the birds hate them.

I tried to give some out in front of my building down on Sycamore Street in OTR and got yelled at by a woman telling me to leave her kids alone. Finally I violated a cardinal rule: I gave them to Marc Anthony (not his real name), the homeless guy that panhandles me every day. He was pretty excited to have them. No doubt he traded them for cash to buy liquor.

Wilson, it's a good thing that there's enough of us Liberals to keep you Conservatives from going too far off the deep end!

BOT: My wife's mother LOVES Samoas and we even send her a fruitcake every year. but I guess it's an oddity in Germany. So she enjoys 'em.

^Lol.

If they seem genuinely interested in selling their product, I usually buy something from them just to support the cause. Their cookies however always reminds me of TV dinners, as they usually end up tasting more like the packaging they came in.
