OT: 117th Obsequious Banter Thread: National Cookie Day is celebrated in December

[PALE PWNR]

Thin Mints and Caramel Delights of the Girl Scout Cookie Variety are the ones not listed I would go with. Macademia Nut with White Chocolate Chips are good too

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Pizzelles

This was my Other answer.

 

[trostol]

oh and one more to my list...Shortbread..specifically Walker's

 

[Chinatown88]

Have to go back hunting for Lego Technic Tow Truck 42128 because the eBay seller I bought it from doesn't want to sell me a defective item guess it got damaged or something. Or they lied about having stock, got my refund. But still arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I thought I was done Christmas shopping.

 

[DancingPanther]

This was my Other answer.

 

[trostol]

1. Ginger Snaps (Spiced Wafers)
2. Ottis Spunkmeyer Chocolate Chip, right out of the oven.
3. Oatmeal Raisin I guess. Chewy>crispy
4. Fig Newtons because, I'm not big on cookies, but I'm down with some chewy fruit and dough combo

i like to dip them into cream cheese icing

 

[Beef Invictus]

I voted for these

 

[Kermit the Prog]

They're extremely difficult to find, but the Milano lemon with dark chocolate is the summit of all store-bought cookies.

However, my homemade chocolate chip cookies are the lords of all cookies made on this insignificant planet of yours.

 

[trostol]

started Rogue Heroes last night..interesting..was a little put off with the modern music at parts in a historical drama

 

[dragonoffrost]

I used to bake cookies for Christmas.... There were about 300+ cookies of each batch and anywhere from 30 to 35 different kinds.

I'm too old for that shit anymore.

@JojoTheWhale approved these blankets.

Blanket

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh, f*** yes. These and peanut butter cookies are the best, but Vienna Fingers are like crack, too. They are insidious.

It's not like there is a bad answer, really. Except for ginger snaps. Also, isn't Lorna Doone that singer they made fun of on "South Park"?

That's like 5 times more expensive than the Berkshire Snoopy ones I've been looking at to buy for a couple years now.

One of those options is mass-produced crap owned by a conglomerate and you'll be lucky to get a decade out of it.

The other is a family run small business that will last not just your lifetime, but probably multiple more. I cannot stand being wasteful and I like supporting small businesses.

Yeah but I'm in Florida. So a blanket isn't high on my priority list. Also I'm a sucker for patterns and the Berkshire ones are pretty dope.

I got a similar blanket from LL Bean. The only problem is that it's so warm I need to turn off all the heat in the house to use it.

I hear you. It just drives me nuts the way people talk about pricing on some of these items. My briefcase was expensive on a normal scale. It was also a hell of a lot cheaper than buying something with a high-end designer name attached to it.

But it’s made out of one piece of leather so thick that it will probably still be in use in 4 generations if someone wants it. And it only gets better looking by the year. I get that not everyone can do the upfront costs, but it often ends up costing you less over the course of your life to just spend the money once on quality.

Nah I feels. Everyone has good reasons to spend more on certain goods and go a little thrifty on others.
Also I'm the guy who is collecting all over print Joe Cool shirts so yeah. I'm clearly a sucker for certain things. Haven't picked up another shirt in a while though (come on eBay gimme a new one I don't own). I guess I bought most of these, up to like 40 different ones now.

I'm the same way with Robert Graham shirts. Relegated my Ralph Lauren polo oxfords to second string.

Do you let the Ralph Laurens in and out of the rotation so they can't improve their trade value?

Only when I'm changing the oil in my car, shimmying up sap-covered trees, and sweeping the chimney.

If I'm gonna get dirty anyway, I may as well look good doing it.
