I didn't shop at Wal-Mart anyway, but this makes me want to call up my dad and have an hour long argument with him over why he shouldn't shop at Wal-Mart anymore. And it's not even that I super love the Girl Scouts, because I was one and let me tell you the actual troops get a smaller and smaller cut of those cookie sales every year while GS Headquarters is located on Fifth Avenue, one of the most expensive pieces of real estate available. But seriously, for a lot of troops cookie sales are what keeps them going and for Wal-Mart it's going to be, what? A 0.75% increase in profit? These people are disgusting. I need to go hit something now.

Weren't thousands of people accused of witchcraft, though? It got to the point of ridiculosity. I mean, in Salem, a 4 year old kid was tried, and her mother was convicted based on her "confession", IIRC. Listen, my niece is 5 and I only understand about 3/4 of what she says. I think across Europe, literally tens of thousands of people were actually convicted. I think you'd be hard-pressed to *not* be related to a "witch".

Related: pseudo-sister-in-law vB is working up the family history, and found a link to Rebecca Nurse, one of the "witches" sentenced to death in Salem. That website is cool as hell. (Also, she put up the most awesome picture of his dad... his hair is amazing. I gotta get that in my blog.)

In other news, YAY FUTURAMA!

Umm, I believe you meant "Cocoa Puffs". As in, "I'm cookoo for Cocoa Puffs" etc.

And Lady Gaga could be a fucking martian for all I care. She's a joke around here.

I had three relatives killed for being witches, it doesn't mean anything. The thought process was basically, "Three sisters? Like living together, and not married? Wtf? Witches!"

However, that's the same part of the family tree that is related to Abraham Lincoln, so...Lincoln was a witch - I mean warlock. We need more warlock presidents.

That's fucked up, Wal-Mart. I want my daughter to be in the Girl Scouts but you're trying to ruin that.

Can I borrow the keys to the Murdertank? I'm fairly new but Skitz taught me how to drive last weekend during the 1st Annual Whiskey Induced Meth Binge and Jolly Good Fistfight Jamboree.

Lady Gaga is a man...it would indeed explain a lot. I mean I've seen some beautiful Lady Boys, and I've seen some ugly ones. And good GOD is she an ugly one.

I will say this...bitch wears enough compltely weird shit that she might just have a pair of panties on that have some weird attachment...but that does look like a peen.

I sort of hope she is a man. It would by far be the most interesting thing about her. As yet, the whole 'I dress like a fucking twatwaffle to get attention' thing just makes me want to punch her in the throat. And HEY! Now, knowing she's a man, I wont feel so bad about it !

Why do yoga masters always look and act so...weird? and why are the "animals" looking at the kids and going, "Mmmmmmm, uh-huh, ahhhhhhh"? El creepo!

"I think you'd be hard-pressed to *not* be related to a "witch"..."

Mmmm that sounds suspiciously like witch-talk to me, Goody Von Beaverplatz...

The BF has an ancestor who was burned as a Witch in France. He also has a Roma Gypsy.
I have a (quite famous) Pirate, and a Viking.
I have decided that combined, AlextheBoy(me fella) and I, WIN. In your stupid FACE Watson.

As much as I would have like for Futurama to just end on a high note and call it a day, I'm glad the original cast will be back. I look forward to watching it.

They already sell Samoa knock offs at the Safeway closest to me, so I don't need Wal-Mart to desecrate the Girl Scout tradition.

While Lady Gaga being a man would explain some things, there is no excuse for the giant button she/he/it wears on her/his/its head on occasion.

Man Men-ing yourself is way too much fun. Or I am way too bored. Either way, I look like Peggy with a bob.

I just MadMen-ed myself, and I have to say I'm cute as hell! Mind you, I don't know if it's a terribly close resemblance, but I like it.

Speaking of awesome cartoons, so glad about the Futurama cast! (insert Zoidberg-esque "H'raaaaay!" here)

that video weirded me out in sooo many ways. that guys face will haunt my nightmares

True story: a while ago a friend of mine received an invitation to connect with a former co-worker via LinkedIn. They hadn't really been friends and it had been a while but in the spirit of community, my friend accepted the connection. Next day, he receives a request from the guy to buy Girl Scout cookies for his daughter.

And therein lies my problem with this product. In all my years living in the US, once and only once have I had an actual little girl knock my door and sell me some cookies. It's always parents, aunties, etc. bringing them into work trying to blackmail colleagues into buying them. I even had a co-worker put a bunch of GS cookies in the lunch room with a note saying "take some" and then tell everyone they had to pay for a box each because they had eaten them.

PaddyDog, if it will warm your heart, I can tell you that as a small skinny blonde child I DID walk around my neighborhood in my girl scout vest with all the badges sewn onto it with my little order form and stumbled through a very mumbly explanation of Girl Scouts and the cookies associated with them. I even gotten invited into people's homes while they perused the form and called up their spouses or children to ask what kind of cookies they wanted while I sat uncomfortably on the sofa drinking some water.

Name me a parent today who would let their 8 or 9 year old child walk around a neighborhood in the suburbs of DC by themselves, knock on strange people's doors, and then accept food or drink offered by them? Most parents I currently know would see that as an excellent way for their child to end up buried in someone's back yard, and therein lies the problem. Of course, rather than teaching your child that mommy and daddy will do all the work for you, I think parents should simply accompany their children on selling missions (or phone calls to relatives and friends) as a silent guardian. But clearly I'm the victim of some exceptionally poor parenting, so what do I know?

Apologies for the grammatical errors in my previous post. Evidently it's naptime.

And since I love sharing all the ways I'm a cultural misfit, I've never seen Gremlins.

Mmmm that sounds suspiciously like witch-talk to me, Goody Von Beaverplatz...

I don't know what you're talking about, Sir.

(Now where'd I put that BSlim doll and my hatpins?)

I will only buy fund raiser stuff actually peddled to me IN PERSON by the kiddies. I did it by myself, these little fuckers today can just suck it up. If their parents gave half a crap they would walk door to door with them, just like trick or treating.

Also: Yoga Guy= creepy. VERY creepy. I thought that rooster was going to slip him the McNugget in one of the bent over poses.

Agree, WalMart is evil.

And why is Emma Watson's tit hanging out? Is that really necessary?

And GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

And sorry, I might start feeling ok about ogling Emma Watson's...lineage when she's about 27.

I don't know what you're talking about, Sir.

We can solve this very easily. Someone get me a large scale and a duck.

Troll 2 is a seriously crappy awesome movie with no many redeeming qualities whatsoever.

There. I fixed that for you.

it is playing for free on Hulu for free

Pssh. Why would we need it for free on the internets when we have the DVD?

...wait, am I the only one who has Troll 2 on DVD? I mean, I don't have it on DVD, what are you talking about, crazy person?

I dunno, Nadine, I'm related to Napoleon.
