JUCOs are pretty blue collar, as are many of the public urban colleges. Only blue in the Ivies is the blood and any collar would be popped. |

I hope this is extreme sarcasm. I would be happy if this was a TROLL. A BCR going to college? A BCR being a bitch rabbit? |

US Marathoners: YR: Alan Culpepper BCR: Dick Beardsley There's so many from the 70's that could go under BCR, but Beardsley takes the cake with his dairy farming, drug addiction, and amount of marathons raced in a relatively short period of time. |

Actually, I've found that only the yuppies could afford to replace their minimalist shoes when they wore out. Most BCR's I've known got something like the Pegasus and wore them into the ground. I don't know any runners, period, wearing Shox. |

BCR-shirt(optional), socks, shoes, run-any conditions. maybe a watch. water. gatorade if the race provides it. |

Dan browne was a military man and could dismantle wejo in about 5 seconds in a fist fight. He could also lap him in an honest to god 10k. Yeah before you say "well his PR in the 10 wasn't that great, and weej wasn't that far behind" remember, he never ran it like he ran that f*ckin' mary. If he was dead set on running the 10 in Europe, he could have gotten down in the low 27's but it didn't happen and its one of the things that should have. Wejo would loose in a fight, in world knowledge, in a race BADLY, and probably with the ladies. Dan Browne is a man's man. Wejo, what the F*ck is that? Sounds like some Brazilian Sock company. |

Well here goes--at the risk of a good banning from the board: On the front page, one of the Bros. says that Brian Sell is "our kind of runner, a blue collar runner." I just about spit out my skinny half-caff. yuppie latte! I need to point out that neither of the Brojos is remotely a blue collar runner. Here are some Yuppie tidbits---altitude training base in Flagstaff--yuppie. Massage and active release therapy--yuppie. Pacing others in big races--um, yuppie. Having one's own self-indulgent running website--yuppie. Identifying oneself as a blue collar runner when obviously a yuppie runner--yuppie! |

What do you do for a living? YR: Run for the USA, living in an Olympic Development facility...stuff like that. BCR: Wash dishes in a resturaunt, cart dead bodies around in a morgue, wipe old geezers asses, drive fork lifts..stuff like that. I'd don't like to offend people, whenever possible, so I won't give yuppy runner examples, but some classic BCR's are definately Beardsley and Rogers and just about every runner from 1970 to 1980. But this could be coming straight out of my ass, too. Why did they have to bring this fricking thread up again? |

I was feeling pretty blue collar with my watch taped to my wrist today with duct tape. And then I realized that I was also wearing an LED headlamp. Yuppie it is. Dangit. |

I'd like to see those two battle it out. It would be a bitch slap fight. Two puny runners. Yeah, Dan Browne the tough military guy. What was he, a pencil pusher in the Natty Guard? Look, I respect the guys putting their ass out there and spending years overseas, but lets not get carried away here. Every guy in the military is not a hand to hand combat specialist tough guy. Yeesh. By the way this is one of the dumbest threads on lets run. A bunch of upper middle class white boys thinking they're tough because they run in the heat or cold. Fucking stupid and embarrassing. I really dislike runners. |

Are you kidding me Skeets Mcgee? Browne went to West Point. That alone makes me confident that he would make you his bitch. No doubt in my mind. |
