My boss has twin twelve-year-old daughters who are in the Girl Scouts. Today she brought in the cookie order forms, and I was going to order a couple of boxes to be supportive - one from each girl. Then tonight I found out about this, so now I'm going for half a dozen. At least. And telling everybody why.

Yay!! I usually don't order any. This year I am.

Good! This is the first year in a while in which I had someone at work taking orders for them. Worked out perfectly!

Wow, that little girl scout is pretty persuasive. I never buy girl scout cookies, but I'm going to look around for some this year.

I usually buy some when they're being sold in front of a store somewhere. If that happens this year, I'll probably get more!

I'll definitely be getting some Girl Scout cookies this year! The Samoas are my favorite. ♥

I like the thin mints and the shortbread ones the best, but they're all good. ♥

I have an image of her mother or father, just off camera, holding a gun to her head, you know?

I made the mistake of going and looking at their website. Brrr.

Speaking as a former Girl Scout, I doubt she'll be able to get everyone to boycott getting Girl Scout cookies. I mean, this is ONE of the major ways that the Girl Scouts and Troops get money. Plus, this shit that this girl is trying to get everyone to do goes exactly against what the Girl Scouts stand for...what Girl Scouts pledge for. Twelve years later, I still remember the Girl Scouts honor:
On my honor,
I will try
to serve God (although nowadays I replace "God" with "my deities"..heh heh)
in my country (and I include the country I'm also living in)
to help people at all times,
and to live by the Girl Scout law.

And as I recall, there was nothing in Girl Scout law about being an disrespectful, intolerable brat

I don't think she'll have that much of an effect on sales either, but I'm glad people are buying extra anyway. Just in case! :)

I know so many people who are buying extra girl scout cookies this year because of just this. xD Personally, I'll have trouble topping my usual 15 boxes of Thin Mints, but I'll at least manage to continue that tradition. xD

That's an excellent tradition! :D
