#10

Remember when I wrote that UC Berkeley, CU Boulder and MIT attract subtly* different kinds of people? Well, there is nothing subtle about GQ's list of 25 douchiest colleges. CU Boulder is number 10 on the list:

Home of: The Kind-Bud Douche
Affectations: Prius; $400 Telemark skis you're not sure what to do with; bong made from recycled Nalgene bottles; white-guy dreads.

So that's how I should refashion my old BPA-laden Nalgene!

I can't vouch for the rest of the students, but my $400 telemark skis saw heavy action each winter. I owned 4 pairs of skis (in addition to 3.5 bicycles).

* Bad Dad and I observed that CU Boulder alumni age well. Everyone else appears to have the same % body fat (low) that they had in grad school. We felt positively obese at that gathering. We felt svelte at the MIT reunion.
