Dealing with gangs in colors
From Karla re: potentially hazardous confrontations:
The local pushers were hanging out in front of the grocery store - their favorite place, this time of year. Trouble. I hate confrontation. They were even wearing colors. I thought of just avoiding eye contact, and trying to pass by, unseen, but one of them approached me and pleasantly enough, asked "Would you like some Girl Scout cookies?" I admitted that I would, indeed, love some GS cookies, but said that if she and her posse would keep me from reaching for the Thin Mints, I would rather make a donation. One of the green gremlins assured me she had the Thin Mints covered. I handed them a crisp bill and escaped, calorie free.

I've been eating Thin Mints.
How long before they start working?

Those little delinquents are serious trouble. And whatever you do, don't look them in the eyes.

Back in the days before I gained autonomy, I was forced by my mother to join the damned Girl Scouts, which I hated with every cell of my being. (I wanted to join Future Farmers of America or at least 4-H). When I was ten, my mother volunteered to be cookie chairman for South Texas troop 456.
Girl Scouts who are determined to sell the most cookies in a) their troop; b) their region or c) the entire state of Texas are as ruthless as any businessman involved in a hostile corporate takeover. In 1965, selling cookies was excellent training for those females who set their helmet-haired heads and iron hearts toward "Miss Texas" ten years later. Threats were made, bribes were offered, tears were shed over Chocolate Mint Cookies and who was most deserving of the last available boxes. Having been a Girl Scout from Grades One to Twelve, my mom was too tough to give into the cookie mafiosas or their mothers but she did finally realize that all Girl Scouts were not earnest girls learning to be good little homemakers like the ones she grew up with in SW Arkansas. I credit her cookie chairman experience for my ultimate release from The Green Machine the following year when I dug my heels in and refused to ever set foot in a meeting again. And I lived happily ever after. The End

I was at a bike rally in Hondo, Texas last weekend and those little cookie pushers had a table set up. That's a first. They are everywhere!
