Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The "wrong" names make me irrationally angry. I'm going to go up to some Girl Scouts on the street and yell "Two Samoas and one Trefoil!!!"

...and then I'll go to Starbucks and order a medium coffee.

HA! You should still buy from her. I was just going to send them because god knows I'll have them.

I can't believe ABC bakeries has two non-box cookies! Amazing!

The samoas can't be called samoas because it's trademarked by Little Brownie (which might be owned by a big corporation, maybe kelllog?)

Apparently I just think GS cookies should be a monopoly, like it was in the Good Old Days.

Oh MAN! There are two bakeries that bake Girl Scout cookies. The one that doesn't supply LA has Shout Outs, which taste like Biscoff, I've heard. Nom nom nom.

Yep. One of the bakeries has a few vegan flavors, and the other doesn't. Last year, I checked with something like five different friends with daughters in different parts of the country, and all of them were selling the non-vegan ones.

I can get the vegan ones if you want, Hil.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Also, girl scout cookie time is coming. FYI, if you want a girl scout fix, you can go download the cookie locater app and it will tell you where there is a cookie booth in your area. Nuts, right?

That is terrible information for me to have. Their peanut butter patties are unto crack for me. And I'm not a big peanut butter and chocolate kind of woman. But those just taste so good to me.

Cass, or in 8 days you come visit and buy them from Grace. Or in 8 days you could order them and then visit in February and pick them up.

Hil, Jesse probably for sure could get them because it's an ABC Bakery thing. ABC's thin mints are vegan!

Yeah, they're even labeled "Vegan" this year! Last year, we had to read all the ingredients and figure it out.

Jesse, thanks for the offer. I think I'll see first if anyone I know is selling them.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Non-box? Like, you order the cookies and then some adorable little girl in a uniform backs a truck into your driveway, opens the back, and loose cookies just come pouring out?

I WANT IN ON THIS.
