Grup. (Excuse Me.)

03/29/2006 By

And so it came to pass that my soul was torn from my body, and the world went black and silent.

Thank god I’m far too cheap to spend anything like $800 on a stroller. And I don’t buy into the designer label crap either.

WHEW!

I’m okay then, right? Right?

[Shanks to Marie. I, umm, think.]

    Not to say the Armstrongs would buy an $800 stroller, (I have no idea if they would) but the picture and the beginning of that description sounded kinda like Jon, in a good way. I mean he’s a Dad, and he’s cool, and tech-savvy, and cool…well you get the picture…

    Made me feel better about myself and all the stupid things I bought. I’m stupid but not as stupid as them.
    I think.

    I should pretend I wasn’t just online shopping for a Chariot Carrier CX2, then?
    Rats.

    Daddytypes has a nice response to the more annoying aspects of the article…

    Does anyone else wonder at what point the children of these people will start to hate them? I mean, kids have to hate their parents at some point right? At what point will the kids say “no you can’t hang out with me and my friends in the basement”?

    Marie–thank you for linking to the Daddytypes blog. I’ve been increasingly annoyed with the concept of Grups since reading about it yesterday on another blog–and then having a few people e-mail me about it. On the surface, the label seems to fit just about everyone I know in some way, but damn, it’s so fucking annoying. And pretentious.

    Hey, the Beastie Boys are all dads now, right? I’m just saying.
