Snow Blower

February 8th, 2010  / Author: Brian

I’ve always thought that the snow blo­wer felt more like it was suc­king the snow, but “Snow­suc­ker” doesn’t say “I’m worth $1500.”

Super Bowly

February 8th, 2010  / Author: Brian

I did not watch the Bowl of Super­ness.  I have NEVER watched the Holiest of Bow­lies.  I don’t hate foot­ball, I just can­not wrap my mind around it.  Maybe the game is just too com­pli­ca­ted for me.  It’s OK if peo­ple are “Down”, you can say the words “tight end” and you don’t get a funny look, and I just rea­li­zed that some­ti­mes they are saying “Quar­ter­back” and some­ti­mes they are saying “Cor­ner­back”.  How con­fu­sing.  I really think that the Super Bowl was crea­ted by the soda, chips and dip com­pa­nies to make tons of money!  This is their Christmas! 

Maybe they should change the name to “The Dip Bowl”.

Kinds of Girl Scout Cookies

February 2nd, 2010  / Author: Brian

Not fami­liar with the Girl Scout Coo­kie varie­ties?  Here’s the Down Low:

  • Thin Mints: Thin, mint-flavored cho­co­late wafers dip­ped in a cho­co­late coa­ting. Also known as Smack, Crack, The Bea­vis But­terfly, or Mommy’s Spe­cial Medicine.
  • Pea­nut But­ter Sandwiches/Do-si-dos: Pea­nut but­ter filling sand­wiched bet­ween crunchy oat­meal coo­kies. AKA the coo­kie for Oreo Addicts who branch out this once a year.
  • Pea­nut But­ter Patties/Tagalongs: Crispy vani­lla coo­kies laye­red with pea­nut but­ter and cove­red with a cho­co­late coa­ting.  The soft pea­nut but­ter is either hea­ven or just too much pea­nut­but­ter for some less deser­ving peo­ple.  Suck it up and deal with the peanutbutter!
  • Shortbreads/Trefoils: A tra­di­tio­nal short­bread coo­kie made in the shape of the Girl Scout tre­foil logo.  This is the “I’m on a Diet” girl Scout cookie. 
  • Cara­mel DeLites/Samoas: Vani­lla coo­kies coa­ted in cara­mel, sprin­kled with toas­ted coco­nut and laced with cho­co­late stri­pes. These are the ones that seem to vanish first.  These are also the ones I can eat an entire box of in one sit­ting.  I am fairly sure these coo­kies have been ban­ned in 12 coun­tries due to their addic­tive qualities.
  • All Abouts/Animal Treasures/Thanks-A-Lot: : Short­bread coo­kies dip­ped in fudge and top­ped with an embos­sed thank-you mes­sage in one of five lan­gua­ges, inc­lu­ding English, Spa­nish, French, Chi­nese, and Swahili. These are the coo­kies you give the grand kids.
  • Cinna-spins Intro­du­ced in 2008, Cinna-spins are cinnamon-flavored coo­kies that come in 100-calorie packs. Cinna-spins are sha­ped like minia­ture cin­na­mon rolls. Reti­red and repla­ced by Daisy Go Rounds.
  • Daisy Go Rounds: Very simi­lar to Cinna-spins, this coo­kie repla­ced them for the 2009–2010  sale. They are adver­ti­sed as low fat and also come in 100 calo­rie packs. They are cin­na­mon fla­vo­red and sha­ped like daisies.
  • Lemo­na­des Round short­bread coo­kie with lemon icing. Some­ti­mes refe­rred to as “Sour Mon­kies” or “Vir­gi­nia Lemon Crack”.

Girl Scout Cookie Sales

February 1st, 2010  / Author: Brian

T-Minus 1 Week and a hand­ful of days left in the Girl Scout Coo­kie Sales!

This means I will be wea­ring down the soles of my snea­kers traip­sing around door to door peda­ling sweets!

Here’s how the sale usually goes.

I knock, because when the girls knock, the mit­tens muf­fle the noise. 

Someone might ans­wer the door.  If they do, one of the girls will greet them “Hi, my name is Annie.  Would you buy Girl Scout Cookies?”

The per­son ans­we­ring the door drools just a little and then buys enough coo­kies to not look too gluttony. 

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

 

Things to NOT say while trying to sell Girl Scout Cookies:

-“My name is Rachael, but I was born as ‘Mark’”.

-“By the looks of it, you must have a stash of coo­kies somewhere.”

-*sniff sniff* “What’s that smell?  Money?”

-“Let me guess—Just leave the cases of coo­kies by the back door, ring the door­bell and run?”

-“These coo­kies are made from the Girl Scouts who don’t sell enough—Please help me!”

Buy Girl Scout Cookies and I’ll divulge something!

January 30th, 2010  / Author: Brian

Con­tact me and buy Girl Scout Coo­kies and for every box you buy, I will divulge a deep dark sec­ret I’ve been kee­ping repres­sed for decades. 

e-mail me!  hatemail@redsneaker.net

Top 10 reasons you should buy Girl Scout Cookies

January 29th, 2010  / Author: Brian

10.  They aren’t made from real Girl Scouts.

9.  If each girl doesn’t sell enough coo­kies, they have to eat a bug.

8.  You can try the ground­brea­king “Thin Mint Diet”.

7.  The Car­mel deLi­tes are an aphrodisiac….at least to me they are.

6.  Coo­kie making elves are communists.

5.  If you freeze them, you can use them as a currency after ever­yone else ate theirs.

4.  At $4 a box, they are chea­per than most opiates.

3.  The coo­kies are legal in 49 out of the 50 sta­tes!  Damn you Delaware!

2.  My daugh­ters cry when you don’t buy from them.

1.  For every box of Thin Mints you buy, the Girl Scouts will not kill a dolphin.

 

Seriously, Girl Scout Coo­kie sales have begun.  I have two Girl Scouts who need to sell lots of coo­kies, so if you are inte­res­ted in orde­ring some cookies—-$4 a box

Varie­ties include:

Cara­mel deLi­tes (for­merly Samoas)
Pea­nut But­ter Pat­ties (Cho­co­late cove­red coo­kies top­ped with creamy pea­nut­but­ter)
Short­bread
Thin Mints
Pea­nut­but­ter Sand­wich (Like Oreos only all Pea­nut But­tery)
Thanks-A-Lot — Short­bread coo­kes with milk cho­co­late coa­ting on one side
Leamonades-Lemon-flavored num­mi­ness!
Daisy Go Rounds– Packs of small cookies
