BLaBBer BoUCHe. Girl Scouts Rant. You know you love it.

Blabber Bouche. Hmmmm….. what? If you speak French, you might have caught on by now. bouche is French for mouth, hence the phrase “Blabber Bouche” meaning “Blabber Mouth”, adding in the cool French twist. Or not, you know, it might just be because “Blabber Mouth” was an already taken username, and “Bouche” was the first alternative that came to mind. Of course, it may have sounded better to utilize the Spanish “Boca”, which would then be a double reference to my being a vegetarian, but then I’m sure even less people would pick up on it. Or would they? I mean, some people probably wouldn’t understand either equally as much, and now I am rambling, which is why I thought myself suited for the name “Blabber Bouche” in the first place.

Onto some more relevant affairs (geezus this magnet school is rubbing off on me). It’s Girl Scout cookie sales time, and though I have grown to have a deep hatred against Girl Scouts which may be partly because I never was one, I have always had a guilty pleasure for Tagalongs. Shoot me if you must, but I have never quite liked the coconut ones, Samosas I think they’re called, rather I pretty much can’t digest them, because the coconut is just so freakin’ nasty. And the fact that some troops overprice their cookies so much just angers me. I mean seriously. Do they realize that most of that money is going to the GSA central office and their power-hungry workers? What is America trying to teach our youth? Another thing that bugs me is that the some of the people selling it can’t even be CONSIDERED “youth”. Please, If you’re reading this and you’re a Girl Scout over the age of 10 (even that cuts it close) JUST STOP. PLEASE. FOR THE SAKE OF MY SANITY. YOU’RE NOT CUTE ANYMORE. NOBODY WANTS TO BUY COOKIES UNLESS IT’S SUPPORTING A CUTE 5 YEAR OLD.

I’m done now.

(ps: I need to think of a cool catch phrase for the closing, and I think “I’m done now.” may just be a winner. Please comment with ideas. Thanks.)

#1 Very disappointed, a blog? seriously?
#2 Girl scouting is not about cookies and not about being cute, its fun. And btw, there are more girls that you know that are girl scouts that you obviously dont know about. Seriously. Me, Becca, Emma and abigail to name a few and I can guarantee there are more than that. And btw, you can’t judge it if you can’t do it. So HA!

It may be fun and all, but really. Abigail agreed with me on the whole cute thing, but we said she could pull off the little kid thing. I don’t have a problem with people being girl scouts and doing girl scout things but it’s just the selling cookies, ESPECIALLY door-to-door solicitation kids over 10.

My opinion. Thats all it is.

becky, no offense, but i was a girl scout and i definitely agree w/sally. who would want to buy from an awkward teenager when u could buy from the cute little girl down the street?

Hey I was just supporting the idea of girl scouts. I didn’t say ANYTHING supporting the whole door to door thing. I was too old for that at 7.

Comment by Becky

girl scouts are so much cooler than what you think. Me and Emma’s troop is amazing. But I could see why people think it’s stupid and not cute.

Comment by Liv

I hate cookies.

Well, ok, I just ate them and am sick of them, but blah.

Comment by Maggie

haha my “Girl Scout Troop” doesnt even sell cookies anymore. We just do a fun thing every month with the “troop” aka all my friends from Key who I never ever see. tis super fun.

Comment by Becca

Girl Scouts are nothing to get into hissyfits over, becky/sally. Just sayin’.
And I kinda don’t go door to door. Ever. Too lazy, and I don’t think anybody over the age of 10 goes door to door unless they’re those really creepy nerdy older girl scouts who are just weird. i don’t get them…

Comment by E-M-M-A!
