The ultimate saleswomen have begun flooding office buildings, blocking grocery store entrances and spilling onto neighborhood streets. They dress in green sashes, berets and pigtails, and they bat their eyelashes. They come bearing cookies. Chocolate ones and minty ones. Caramel and peanut butter. So it's 100 or so extra calories that you really don't need. It's for a good cause, scholarships and stuff. How can anyone resist a sales pitch like that? As it turns out, your favorite Girl Scout cookie says a lot about who you are. At least that's what the baker, Little Brownie Baker believes. In the interest of full disclosure, I have a soft spot for Samoas. - RODNEY THRASH, Times staff writer TAGALONGS Artistic Creative Dramatic DO-SI-DOS Easygoing Trustworthy Friendly THIN MINTS Popular Strong Confident ALL ABOUTS Considerate Polite Caring SAMOAS Mysterious Brainy Complex TREFOILS Loyal True-blue Honest
