Yeah, I played trumpet four years in high school and it's more or less the same thing, just that the bugle is more limited in how many notes you can play because there are no valves. I was kind of learning it on the fly and trying to play notes that were in key and sounded good but I was also drunk so it was an adventure.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Hung out with the father-in-law this weekend, and he's being really positive about everything

Parents can be pretty amazing sometimes. On Saturday, my Mom came up and we cleaned my apartment together, then we went shopping and she bought me new sheets, pillows, and a shower curtain, then to the grocery store where she absolutely stocked my apt like it's never been before, then we meet Dad for free dinner at Royal Tavern, midway through they tell me they're gonna start paying half my student loans, and then for the cherry on top my Dad tosses me a twenty when we're leaving so I can get a six pack that night.

:h:

(It kinda helps when you're the only one of three brothers to move out of their house.)

Would my Bobby Abreu bobblehead be a suitable engagement party gift? Still can't believe the engagement party requires it's own gift

Q: I don't really like bananas. Will this work with apples?
A: No.

Somebody oughta school the boys scouts on marketing. They had a table set up yesterday at the mall for their popcorn sale. Cheapest thing on the table was one item at $9 (26oz of caramel corn). Everything else was $16 or higher. Not many casual shoppers will drop more than a fin on a fundraiser.

I thought they had microwave popcorn at an under 10 buck price?

Popcorn over $10 kinda breaks at least half the code

not anymore!

There's an unfairness in the world--Girl Scout Cookies, over priced at $3.50 a box (and there's not a lot in those boxes) still sell themselves. People buy them with enthusiasm. They can't wait to get their hand on those Thin Mints or Tagalogs. But popcorn? At $16 for basically microwave popcorn? Um, well, I guess I'll grudgingly buy one since you've put me on the spot here, but shit, this really is expensive. And really, microwave popcorn tastes like shit and nothing beats ordinary popcorn with a little oil in the dutch oven or if you want to cut a few calories than the airpopper is pretty damn easy too but yeah this is microwave popcorn or for an even worse value that tin of caramel corn for $9 which has about as much in it as 2 boxes of cracker jacks which even at the ball park would only run you what $6? Probably not even.

We sold pre-made, pre-baked pizzas one year. Terrible goddamn idea.

i was in scouts. we sold flowers and herbs that you could plant. i raised a lot of freaking money.

by **The Crimson Cyclone** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 14:45:01

we sold oranges and grapefruits, they were the best I've ever had

our local lions club has that fundraiser on lock.

by **Rev_Beezer** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 14:58:48

It is very expensive.

But that Trails End Popcorn just tastes awesome.

I think Boy Scout popcorn is a national thing--I do think they're trying to create the same kind of brand identity as girl scout cookies. But it will never work. I honestly don't remember selling anything when I was in scouts. We did recycling drives--bottles, cans, and papers. If there's a more fun way than spending your Saturday morning throwing bottles into the bed of a dump truck, I don't want to know about it.
