I'm so old I can actually remember when they were one dollar a box, but in the last three years, as Biden has been telling us that inflation is 'under control', the price per box has gone from four - to five - to now six dollars a box. I mean fuck, girls, I like my Thin Mints as much as anybody, but at least put a gun to my head if you're gonna robe me, will ya? Here's an interesting history of the cookies from their website:

This is actually from three years ago when I was still trying to grow tomatoes here in NoCenFl. You can't grow tomatoes outdoors here. Can't be done - ya need a climate-controlled greenhouse. Between the daily rains (rain is actually bad for tomatoes) and the fuckin' birds and bugs, fuggedaboutit.
I am doing sweet peppers, zucchini, carrots, onios, garlic, celery and, of course, I always have a bunch of pineapples going.

The horses were taken from a remote area of Redland, near Homestead, and their carcasses were discovered on Friday by officers from the Miami-Dade police department’s agricultural and environmental crimes section.
It may or may not be worth mentioning that that specific part of Florida has the highest population density of Mexicans and South Americans. It may be - you figure it out...

Each year during Girl Scout cookie season, we pass the scouts in their teal and brown uniforms outside our local grocery stores, hawking Thin Mints and Tagalongs with a unique enthusiasm born of youth and sugar.

DeleteI like Wednesday Addams' question in regard to Girl Scout Cookies: "Are they made with real Girl Scouts?"
ReplyDeleteThe Girl Scouts are woke beyond belief, PC, gung ho on gender bs, the whole nine yards. I quit buying cookies 10 years ago. Right up there with the Salvation Army, Red Cross, and the Boy Scouts.
ReplyDeleteCan't grow romatoes in Florida?
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard of a place in Florida south of Tampa named Ruskin where the tomato fields stretch as far as you can see?
Comedian Tim Wilson had a song "100 Things Every Man Ought to Know". One of them was "if there's girl scout cookies, she's a little too young."
ReplyDeleteI think you meant Brady Bunch, not Partridge Family.
