Cookies (and bourbon).
So we’ve got boxes of Samoas and Thin Mints and even a box of Tagalongs in the freezer, and there’s an open box of Lemon Coolers on the table, and much as a friend might haul a carton of milk out of the fridge, sniff it, and make that face and then hold it out to you saying, “God, this is foul, you gotta smell it,” Patrick Nielsen Hayden points out Girl Scout cookie time again.
So pick up a box or three and spread the word. The Girl Scouts will doubtless weather this storm the way they have weathered storms going back to the ’50s and beyond, but they weather them largely because people like you and me support them by, among other things, buying cookies. And hey: you get cookies! Those Lemon Coolers, for instance? They’re pretty good to nibble on as you’re savoring an I-just-flew-back-from-San-Francisco-and-boy-was-that-a-rough-landing drink.
I’m just sayin.’
