Girls Scouts: Harmless


The first part I won't debate, but I've got my doubts about the second part.

Lesbian recruiting group. Ha! No, I loved being in the girl scouts. And I turned out straight. I'm pretty sure at least one of those two girls did not.
Remember that scene in The Addams Family where Wednesday was selling lemonade and the girl scout asked her if there were real lemons in it and Wednesday asked her if there were real girl scouts in their cookies?

I do! That was actually a great movie. But I think these two were straight. Reason: shaved legs.

Steph(anie) said...

Um. I don't think the one on the right is a girl.

That Hank said...

I dunno if you're joking, but she certainly is. Kind of tomboyish, but the hands, the legs, the way she's standing, her hips, the cut of her shorts, her shaved legs - she's a girl (scout).

Steph(anie) said...

Not joking. I think it's a boy pretending to be a girl.

All girl.

I've played for both teams and done a lot of looking. Girl. 100% definitely.

What Mary said.

Steph(anie) said...

Alright. And look, I'm not a stranger to girls who aren't girlie, believe me.

All I know is, when I saw that pic I immediately had a vision of some 1970s coming-of-age movie where a boy puts on his female friend's clothes in order to pull the wool over someone's eyes. Not necessarily a real movie... just one in my head.

Click the image to make it bigger and then block out her head. She's got a woman's body.

Steph(anie) said...

You can't make me say I was wrong. I won't do it. Noooooooo...

Moving on.

Yeah, that's definitely a girl.
Having a flat chest and short hair does not mean she is a boy.

She's actually a very pretty girl. That sign though? It should say: "Girl Scouts: Lock Up Your Daughters".

My original comment was simply based on a first impression, not any close analyzation. I suppose sometimes I need to keep my thoughts to myself.

That Hank said...

Hey now, none of that around here. I'm sorry for the pile on, and let's remember what the real purpose of this blog is: to make comments about pictures that I want to share with y'all.

DTG is right, I didn't mean to pile on Steph, I meant only to say that she is so pretty. When you enlarge the photo you can really see her face. She's got a face sweet as a girlscout cookie. I'd "Tag-a-long" with her anytime! The other girl looks like a girl I know who is CRAZY, so her? Not so much. Nice t-shirt tho'. Wish I had it.

That was no pile on. You haven't been piled on until my 65 pound 3 year-old has jumped WWE style onto your middle while you lie on the wood floor, knocking the wind out of you and popping your back.

That kid is going to kill me.

And I really do need to keep my thoughts to myself sometimes. Believe me.
