The Republic Is Saved!

It was looking a little dicey at work here for a while. Here it was February, and there were no order sheets for Girl Scout cookies showing up on the outside walls of cubes. It appeared my place of employment had fallen into that most dreaded of "doughnut holes" - all of the employees are either too old or too young to be the parents of Girl Scouts.

Fortunately, one of my co-workers was responsive to my whining, and brought in an order sheet for his grand-daughter. It looks like I'll have enough bribery material to get through a month or two of code inspections in the year ahead...

Are you aware of the existence of Dreyer's Girl Scout cookie ice cream flavors? They have Thin Mints, Samoas, and at least one other. Limited edition, so they say.

No, I wasn't aware of Dreyer's Girl Scout cookie ice cream flavors. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll note that Dreyer's ice cream doesn't actually satisfy my prime requirement (i.e., must be usable as a bribe to code inspectors) as I don't think the ice cream would remain solid enough (once it made it inside the building) to be a satisfactory bribe...

cooler + dry ice = win

cooler + dry ice + ice cream + software "engineers" (aka geeks/nerds) = Massive Fail.

What would really happen, knowing my crew of inspectors, is I'd be faced with the question of "Why did you waste so much space on ice cream that could have been used to smuggle Guinness into the building?"

I don't think Dreyer's is sold in MN. If you're going to ship some ice cream in from outside, get Graeter's from Cinti. It's exceptional.
