What's a Guppy?

Today I was in Atlanta.

I hear it’s a pretty fun city but I wouldn’t really know because I spent the whole day behind a table with a sign that read “Media Check In.”

“What’s the media?” an event participant asked me.

And it blew my mind.

But not as much as this:

The Yuppie Has Gone - To The Suburbs; Introducing The Scuppie; Socially Conscious Upwardly Mobile Person

In the news release, Chuck Failla, “president of a successful financial planning firm,” claimed that his "goal" is to have 'scuppie' take the place of 'yuppie' "in the American lexicon as the natural evolution of the Hippie-Preppie-Yuppie progression. To accomplish this, he has launched a national promotional campaign and is currently penning "The Scuppie Handbook: A Practical Guide to Living Well while Doing Good."

My goal today was to survive the South. We can’t all be dreamers, Chuck.
