Calling all bakers! [[The Official Cookie Brigade Thread.]]
I *think* I saw you at gameworks, but I'm not sure. What with like... 3 other people pulling me in different directions to play this and that game. But I *THINK* I saw ya. There was like 3-4 big tall guys surrounding you like the Secret Cookie Service or something. *If* it was you. *I* like *asterisks* by the *way.*
I think i saw one of you with a big freezer zip-lock bag full of cookies on top of some luggage or maybe a computer... was it in the BYOC line? I can't remember.

That would be me I think, I was the short, black haired girl in the BYOC line who had my computer in a big cart thing and the giant ziplock bag of cookies on top, handing them out to friends and nearby people in line
I recognized you in line, and got one.
It was awesome, and I really appreciated it, because that was all I had time to eat until after the hall closed and meetings had wrapped up, around 10pm x.x

I wasn't a cookie girl this year, but I'd be up for doing that next year. Any interest in combining forces to become a Cookie Brigade? We could get some bright armbands or something to designate us as cookie wenches. With three or four of us, a lot of ground at PAX would get covered.

Dammit... I was about 4 spots behind you in line... looking enviously at your bag of cookies.

I'm completely down for being in this Cookie Brigade. Our forces shall be unstoppable! Except by maybe a milk brigade.

Excellent. Odds are, I'll wander away from these forums as PAX wears off, but I'll return in the summer with anticipation for PAX 08. I take my cookies pretty seriously--I'll have to see if I can perfect a simple, not-too-expensive, well traveling kind of cookie to bring.
I like the idea of getting some armbands or bright headbands to mark members of the Cookie Brigade. Some kind of funky hat, maybe? Hmmm.... I dunno about you ladies, but I have no dignity to lose.

I LOVE cookies...
I'm sorry! I didn't recognize you or I would have come over and gave you one myself.
Next time, just take one. Dramatically. Preferably yelling "HOW DARE YOU KEEP ME FROM MY BIRTHRIGHT?!" and slapping me with a glove.
I have put a note on my Outlook calendar to buy a glove right before PAX 08.
Wait... you can't buy just one glove, can you? This will be harder than I thought...
Get in touch with me next year, I have a nice pair of white dress gloves for wearing with a tux and I could let you borrow one. It would also work real well, if you have to challenge someone to the field of honor at PAX 08.
As for the Cookie Brigade idea, I wholeheartedly support it. Cookies are one thing that one can never have enough of, except for those nasty lemon shortbread Girl Scout cookies, those suck. Any other type of cookie will work though.

So here's an idea: a cookie hat to signify that we are the Cookie Brigade. Pair that with an arm-band or something to indicate when we actually HAVE cookies on hand to give out?
I kinda like the idea of each having a Cookie Brigade arsenal--cookie tins or bags of a distinctive nature. But hell, we have a whole year to plan this stuff.

I saw you Auberie - actually i was sitting at a game demo when you came by, recognized you from your pic in the original thread. Still couldn't believe you actually existed. Just don't become the cookie fairy...I think Nabisco has the copyright to that image...Colin Mocherie in a tutu *shudders*.
Cookie brigade! Yes! Awesome!
I am totally going to try my hand at being an Enforcer next year.
Highlights of cookie-dom:
1) Giving Tycho a cookie as I was leaving the concert on the first day. He actually asked if it was a safe cookie, or if there were drugs in them. And he said they were good.
2) Pirate VS. Ninja dodgeball. I offered to follow some man with a video camera on a pole into the dodgeball game, and then it ended, and I gave them all cookies and wound up being interviewed by them about cookies.
And, of course, my $5 wine, which was excellent, and Trotsky's version of Smarties.. which were strange.
Cookie girls of the world unite!
I say we should make hats/buttons (things we can wear with whatever we want), and perhaps a t-shirt to wear one day of PAX next year..
Hooray for cookie brigade! maybe each girl should bring her "specialty" cookie. So people would know to go to one for sugar cookies, and one for peanut butter... and so on. Or we could all just carry an assortment, mixing eachothers cookies together!
Dude.
We could make buttons/stickers that have our specialty cookies labeled on them.
Currently, I only have a sticker maker, but I'm looking into getting a button maker.
Hmm... I could make Smarties cookies. Canadian Smarties cookies.

are you the same cookie girl from red vs blue forums?
I can't remember.
Were you at Sealab on friday?
I exclaimed "Khoo is my Sensei!"
So if memes make great shirts,
And Pod Six is Jerks,
Then Moe, Khoo and I had our day.
Auberie, we must join together. combining our cookie making powers to defeat evil over all the land!
Also.... we never got to do our tutus
I DIDN'T EVEN GET A SINGLE CON-COOKIE!
DAMMIT LUBU I OFFERED YOU ONE AND YOU SAID NO. Then they were gone.
LIES! I LOVE COOKIES!
Seriously, how could I ever refuse cookies?
[Image taken next to speakers by slightly drunk individual to rub in the face of my friends that I got the cookie]
I think i found you about 10 feet from me during the freezepop concert and snagged a cookie from ya!
I also saw ya at gameworks the night before but alas you had no cookies then.
I dunno, but I offered them to like... everyone. Then gave the rest to Jaiden, Red and Liger to share with all the enforcer peoples.
You got a decent bottle of wine from me.
(what ever I didn't receive materially, I know the goodwill i received spiritually is worth it)
I was very happy to share something from the NW too. btw can you believe it was a 5$ bottle of wine?
SORRY!

Broken, I am dissapointed.
I know Next year I'm going to make a lot more. You people went though like 6 batches of cookies in a matter of hours. o.O

Also what is this "dignity" you speak of? It sounds rather un-fun

This is going to be awesome.
What is YOUR specialty, girls?
mine is either peanut butter or chocolate chip. I'd kill for a good snicker doodle....
I like them a lot, so I might have to experament to find the perfect recipe.
Canadian Smarties aren't strange...they're awesome
