Buy popcorn for freedom

Satchel’s Cub Scout duty this month is to sell lots of very yummy popcorn.  He’s good at it, but I promised him I’d help.  Luckily, you can order it online and have it shipped right to you.  The stuff is good, too, so it’s not just a nice gesture.  It’s a gustatory treat for you — a kind of warmly popped lead-up to a tongue and gullet orgasm.  With maybe a few sharp edges and the occasion unpopped kernel.

You can order here.

Before you order however, please make sure that there’s a notation that your purchase supports Scout Satchel H.

Thanks!

    I’ll vouch for the quality of the popcorn. And not just because I sold my share of it back in the ’80s.

    And the Scouts are politically incorrect, so everytime you buy a tub, a godless little fairy loses its wings.

    Won’t you help pull the wings off’n godless fairies?

    Ha! Didn’t even think of that, Newrouter.

    “In a world where Michelle O dares demand you eat hummus and raw spinach, one man will request you buy popcorn for friends and family…”

    ….Just think how delicious that treat will be, as you sit and munch great handfulls, swilling your appertiff of chooice in between sweet crunching sounds, and watch all the Progturd faces on ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, PRO, etc etc, turn to ghoulish grimices of total disbelief and torment, as the Great half white Marxist imposter crashes in a fierce fiery train wreck of hopelessness and broken dreams.

    Skip the microwave popcorn and go old school. Get an oil popper and plenty of coconut oil. It’s the right thing to do and damn tasty for you.

    Geez Jeff, how’d you end up with such a cute kid?

    Might want to keep an eye on the mailman, is all I’m sayin’

  7. Jeff G. says:

    Thanks, William and Dicentra. You made a little boy very happy. Much appreciation from the wife and I.

    — Which, yes, that’s like being thanked by the Devil. But then, so it goes.

  8. Physics Geek says:

    Jeff, I’d be glad to help, but my son is also selling popcorn this year. It is great popcorn though and it’s always been my wife’s favorite.

    I’ll check the family finances. I won’t buy popcorn, but I might be able to swing a donation to our troops.

  9. dicentra says:

    I don’t mind being thanked by the Devil, considering who is “God” these days.

  10. Dale Price says:

    I have my own Cub Scout out the next three weekends hawking the same quality wares. Still, I might be able to sling a little over for a fellow Scout.

    And ditto what Ernst said–the old fashioned kind is the bomb. My father introduced it to the kids a couple weeks ago, and they are still raving about it.

    Dale and Ernst, if you have a heavy saucepan with a lid you can make popcorn in a flash. Film the bottom of the pan with about two tablespoons of oil (or less) and drop in three kernels of unpopped corn, cover and place over med-high heat.

    When you hear the kernels pop (they will pop one, two, three) take off the lid and add a quarter cup of unpopped corn and cover again. Listen until you hear it start popping and then shake the pan while it pops. When the popping slows down turn off the heat and shake it occasionally until it stops popping. Uncover and pour into a large bowl. Works like a charm everytime and leaves next to no unpopped kernels.

    Of course, this is Plain Jane popcorn not like the fantastically tasty popcorn sold by scouts this time of year. Been there, done that. Sewed on the merit badges.

    Jeff, when I clicked on the link, the site wanted a zip code to search for a Scout; just putting in Satchel H returned no results. You have my e-mail; if you’ll send the zip code I’ll try again.

  15. DarthLevin says:

    SDN, for me it allowed a search on just “Satchel”, and I got a bunch of ’em but only one Satchel H. Jeff and Her Exceeding Benificence, the Lady of Unimaginable Tolerance are listed as the parents so’s you can tell who’s who.

  16. Jeff G. says:

    Thanks so much, Debbie F!

    Thanks, Mike R!

    You’re welcome, Jeff! That’s me.
