Roger the Skiffler -

Sorry. Brownie points aren't edible..

I don't know where the phrase comes from, but at least how I've heard the phrase used and how use it, "Brownie points" refer to 'little acts of kindness' or some imaginary credit points that you get for doing something good. You can bank these points away for the time when you need some good luck and then you can 'cash them in..

Of course, As I am African American, I was also trying to make a play on words..You know..like I'm a "Brownie" and I gave you some brownie points...{I guess I blew that one, uhn??}

Oh well. There's always the next time...

But now that you mention it, baking some brownies sounds like a nice idea-especially since I just got a new stove delivered a couple of hours ago.!!!!...

What say that I make enough brownies for everybody here?! Anybody allergic to peanuts?
