You may notice your box of Tagalongs is a little light this spring. In regards to Girl Scouts lowering the number of cookies in some of their boxes to save on costs, the Dallas News went with: Rising Costs Bite Into Girl Scout Cookie Portions, and I saw another post online refer to the Girl Scouts as earning their cheapskate badge. I’m not angry about that. I think bitching about the price of baked goods right now shows great ignorance, and the fact that you certainly must not bake at home. All should thank goodness you’re not paying $5 for your buttery croissants and chocolate chip cookies, yet. The price of flour, eggs, chocolate and butter is redick. But I got really pissed when I was listening to Ron & Don on KIRO today while waiting for my car and heard stories of Girl Scouts using cookie money for things other than… the girls’ educational enrichment, things like concerts. Uh, WTF Girl Scouts? I was under the distinct impression that money spent on these shit cookies went towards things like summer camp and Elmer’s glue for all the macaroni sculptures. That’s how we rolled back in the day, when I sported the brown and green.I just dropped a wad on Thin Mints and Samosas, which some little Girl Scout better thank her lucky fracking stars was not effected by the rationing. So help her if my money is going to pay for goddamn Jonas Brothers tickets. Believe that. Call me Encyclopedia Brown because I am going to get to the bottom of this.
