F you, that recipe. False hope giver!

I just made some (sans choco-bottoms because it seemed overkill and I was being lazy)...



really they're nothing like Samoa's at all. I added a tablespoon+ of lemon juice to the cookie dough to spice it up, but in the end I'm not sure why they don't just tell you to get one of those pre-made sugar cookie packs from the grocery store and spread that out. Not to mention the cookies themselves are just way too thick, I'd cut the cookie recipe by 1/4th at least. Further, way too much caramel (cut it down to like 8 ounces, instead of 12) and anytime anyone tells you to  use chocolate chips for anything other than in chocolate chip cookies, you punch them right in their face where they stand.

In the end, not horrible to eat because I mean, it's chocolate and caramels and junk, but not even close to a Samoa. This has me all fired up though to do a sheet shortbread cookie and try my modifications to get it right - I THINK I CAN CRACK THE CODE!

tl;dr nomnom cookies not taste like girl scouts but fatty gon' eat nem anyways.

On the part of the porn industry? No . . .

I think it's just more proof of the eternally optimistic, sunshiny attitude that characterizes the porn industry.  Sure, like buffcoat, it's naive, but it's that kind of never-say-die approach to life's challenges that made this country what it is today.

[Bryan]

I stand corrected, Sarah.

Kudos, porn industry!

I figured it had to be. The commercial is suspiciously unspecific in how donating your car can help kids. Also, there's like a million different similar groups doing the same thing, which leads me to believe that there's something fishy about the whole thing.

I just had to buy a new laptop b/c the old one was shitting the bed, and I put my $ into a Toshiba Satellite, sight unseen. Well the genuises who designed this thing gave is a cool "Fusion Finish" which is all black and shiny. problem being: after using it for more than 5 minutes, it becomes absolutely covered in fingerprints and not only looks disgusting, but the keys become kind of gross to touch. My boss has an HP that has the same sort of finish on it. don't they do fucking focus groups for these things?

Also, Twitter. I don't give a shit what you are having for lunch, "friend".

You don't even FOLLOW davefromknoxvil

But you wish you did

You liked my cobbled granola bars? Awww, thanks! I had some leftover and got pretty sick of them, thought they was too sweet, but glad you dug em!

It's the comedy equivalent of the Yalta Conference.

This thing made a bailout joke every day for like three months.
