Yuppie Scum
Posted by Nathaniel.
The stroller came on Saturday and got put together pretty easily. It took a fair bit of rotating things 90 degrees and saying “oooh, this is the way it’s supposed to go!”
Then, with it together, we had to test it out on a walk. So we went to Starbucks…
Let me put the picture together for you… A guy in a fashionably rumpled ivy league t-shirt and cargo pants wearing name-brand flip-flops (admittedly, they were only Reefs, but still) pushing a Bugaboo Chameleon stroller into Starbucks while occasionally looking at his iPhone. Luckily, Kirsten was dressed like a normal human, but it made me think about ways that we could really max out the yuppie scumness.
1) I needed some trendy Ray Ban or Persol sunglasses. (That’s really the only thing I was missing, although Crocs might have helped.)
2) Kirsten should have been wearing some Juicy sweats and Uggs with a Harvard shirt. Ideally, she’d round things out with some big sunglasses, preferably with giant Gucci or Chanel logos on the sides.
3) Rather than a Volvo, we should have gotten into either a Land Rover or a Porsche Cayenne.
I’m going to work on it.

See, the problem with you now having a kid is that any excuse that I have for not keeping up with the blog is now completely worthless – no matter how busy work is, that can’t compare with having a kid.
That said, I’m only now catching up on the last couple weeks of posts, and nice work here. Naturally photographic proof/documentation is always appreciated, but great work carrying the spirit of Dartmouth with you even after you move on to bigger and better things. Many clueless undergrads would be proud if they understood what was going on.
What is Kirsten’s shoesize? She definitely needs some pink Uggs – I’ll see what I can do. Maybe I can find a matching set for the little one…
