They're willing... for the shilling...
"I used to sell cookies too, you know," I said to the Brownie who came a-shilling at my place of employment. She seemed singularly unimpressed. I gave the best eight years of my life to the Girl Scouts and for what? I can't even impress a first-grader!
I'll bet you didn't know that I was a Girl Scout for eight years. I'll bet you never would have guessed it from someone as rebellious and tough and... okay, I bet you would have.
I don't even know who this girl belongs to, but in exchange for buying one box of Peanut Butter Patties, she gave me a picture she drew of a dragon with smoke coming out of his nostrils after he set a bush on fire! This kicks ass. I wish I'd thought to throw in a little bonus on my sales... maybe if I'd had more success, I'd still be selling cookies to this day!
No, that would be even more pathetic than I already am.

Aunt Pam, you beat me to the punch! I honestly was going to comment on Trogdor (maybe even hum a few bars while typing), but now it is all for naught.... On a happy note, a random TKE alum was wearing a Trogdor t-shirt at last year's Homecoming (not my better half). While I think it is mighty sad when a 30+ year old makes a pitiful stab at regaining his misspent youth by trying to be hip and cool hanging out with drunken frat boys at least a decade younger than he, I applaud his always acceptable fashion efforts!
Did you actually like being a Girl Scout?
