White and Nerdy

I almost did it. I almost went to the grocery store and managed to leave without making a pit stop at the Girl Scout Cookies table outside. I needed only a few items, and basically I needed to break a $20 bill because I have to pay the door charge at the dance club I’m going to tonight. The Persnickety Hooch is graduating with her master’s degree in librarianista-ness. Of course, I ended up grabbing more things than were on my list (Yeah, like you don’t do that, too) so I used the ATM/Visa swipey card. On my way out of the store, I remembered (duh!) that I had had a dual mission when I went in. Not just the stuff on my list, but to break the $20. Crap. Then, there they were in their Girl Scout cheeriness. And one of the little girls smiled at me. So I gave in to the evil twists of fate and bought a box to break the bill.

They gave me a weird look when I refused the free sample. I didn’t say it was because I’d end up buying my usual favorite AND whatever they were sampling me with. So, now I’m sitting here all middle class white girl and nerdy, munching on a tube of Thin Mints.

I also found some videos that amused me. It’s Weird Al’s usual funniess called White and Nerdy, where he had the ultimate white-boy nerd Donny Osmond guest star for his video. Here’s the actual video and the green screen version where Donny and Weird Al dance around like the white and nerdy boys they are.

    I teach all my girl scouts to smile : ) Man, what was the free sample? I’m soooo curious.

    Okay, I can eat tubes of thin mints in minutes.

    See?! PROOF! The Girl Scouts are out to make me fatter! I knew it.

    And I believe the sample was Samoas.
