So much for that boycott - Oklahoma girl breaks Girl Scout cookie sales mark

[n2doc]

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma City girl who says she asks everyone she meets to buy Girl Scout cookies has broken the organization's decades-old sales record by a margin about the size of a Thin Mint.

Katie Francis of Oklahoma City sold 18,107 boxes in the seven-week sales period that ended Sunday night. The previous mark was set by Elizabeth Brinton, who sold approximately 18,000 one year in the 1980s.

The sixth-grade student told The Oklahoman newspaper last month that there were only three ingredients needed to rack up large sales: a lot of time, a lot of commitment and asking everyone she met to buy.

4. That's over 300 boxes a day...

I'd guess she had a little help.

(And a really, really big family)

8. What was the boycott?..nt

11. The usual Gang of Idiots

I got an e-mail from one of my insane relatives denouncing the Girl Scouts as an organization that turns girls into Marxist Lesbians.

Because of that asinine e-mail, I gave $100 to the local chapter of Girl Scouts. Told them I didn't need any cookies, that I had to make a statement to defend the Girl Scouts!

12. Marxist lesbians eh?

Thats a new meme.

Thanks

13. The fetus-worshippers got all upset because the GS 'endorsed" Wendy Davis

16. That wasn't even an endorsement. They asked the girls on comment on good female role models

and one said, "Wendy Davis." That's enough to launch a right wing faux controversy these days.

9. Why was I supposed to boycott them?

Seriously. I don't know.

I don't buy them, but I eat them!

[brewens]

10. I ran into them yesterday and said keep the cookies and gave them $5. If I would have got the

usual Thin Mints, I would have had to go back into the store for milk. Then I would have scarfed the whole box watching hoops! Good call looking back on it today.

14. I was hoping the 2 girls in Colorado who sold cookies

outside a marijuana store would win.

15. In other news...

boycott leader found in house in a state of overfed hysteria.

He was quoted, "those demon crackers did me in!"
