Today, going through junk salvaged from my parents' house, I found my old Girl Scout uniform!
It still fits! (sort of)
...Man, I never did get very many merit badges. They're all indoorsy ones too like "health" and "multiculturalism." Our troop went camping and hiking plenty--hell, we even learned how to use a machete to bushwhack in dense jungle--but I guess we just never bothered to get the machete merit badges.
My my. Its like Holly picture christmas lately! Though this one does create a weird cognitive dissonance...
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout one of you from behind, head to toe?
William - They're free, dude, you don't get to special-order. :p
ReplyDeleteOh I know, I know. Those are wonderful gifts you share with us......I was just hopin', is all :).
ReplyDeleteWoo-Hoo! Now that is the stuff that very odd and yet erotic dreams are made of... Tell me, did you get the 'Merit Badge Forgery' Badge?
ReplyDeleteNow that's a pretty and funny photo of you!
ReplyDeleteLawrence - If I had, I'd have more than four stinkin' badges.
ReplyDeleteNow that I have the perspective of adulthood, I realize that GSUSA will really just mail you any badge you order out of the catalog, but without the "Merit" it would be a hollow victory.
Nobody else has said it, so I guess I have to.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of when I was kicked out of Cub Scouts for eating too many Brownies.
Badges? I don't see no badges! :)
ReplyDeleteSrsly, nice pic, tho I suspect part of your uniform is, um, missing? Just wondering.
TD approves of this post.
