And to illustrate my utter lack of cool, I spelled it with an -ie. Now I am on my way to eat something I don’t like (sushi) with people that I do. Why am i telling you that? I.don’t.know.

Eric, right you are! The Preppy Handbook looks great – I might have to order that next. I see on Amazon there is also a Southern Belle Primer and Tipsy in Madras: Complete Guide to 80s Preppy Drinking.

Hilarious.

And wasn’t there also a “Preppie Handbook” before that as well? Because before we were old enough to hate yuppies, there were the preppies. It’s always someone.

I think it would be even moe fun to have it read by Kermit The Frog. Afterall, he did the whole yuppie thing in The Muppets Take Manhattan.

Nathan, I couldn’t agree more. There is actually a section in the handbook, “A Day in the Life of a Yuppie,” which starts off with:

7:00am Digital alarm clock goes off. It is programmed to play a cassette of Pachelbel’s Canon in D Minor.
7:02am Krupps Coffee machine turns on automatically, while Jennifer rewinds Jane Fonda Workout videotape.
7:03am Jennifer breezes through advanced segment while Michael lathers up with a natural boar bristle brush and Crabtree & Evelyn shaving soap in a wooden bowl.

Et cetera, et cetera. It’s…a…laugh riot. It looks like there are some more used copies on Amazon – get to it!
