First we had
the Stuff White People Like blog (hilarious), and now it's
the Scuppie Handbook. It's kind of funny, but the problem is that it takes itself
way too seriously - unlike the Preppy Handbook, which was completely tongue-in-cheek. Taking yourself too seriously - a Scuppie* trait if I ever saw one.
SCUP·PIE /skÓ™p·e/ n. (Socially Conscious Upwardly-mobile Person)
1. A person who desires all the best life can offer and strives for those goals in a socially conscious manner.
2. One who is dedicated to the pursuit of peace, happiness and cash (not necessarily in that order).
3. Someone ‘green’ -- i.e. one who understands the love of money does not preclude the love of nature...and vice-versa.

* And the reason that I think that Scuppie is a terrible name is not because it's not clever - it is - but the word itself is so unappealing. Sounds like someone tried to put together Scum + Puppy = Scuppie. Or a youthful version of Judy Tenuda's Scum Puppets - Scuppies. Well, if the shoe fits...
