Tool isn't blue collar! Blue collar would be a band like the Allman Brothers or Creedence.

Everclear is white trash.
Whiskey is blue collar.
Brandy is yuppie.
Cognac is yuppie with a touch of gay. (not that there's anything wrong with that)
Mad Dog 20/20 or Wild Irish Rose is whino.
Flagpole Willy, cognac is certainly NOT yuppie. Cognac is ghetto. Remy Martin Corvoisier, Hennessy target Ebony, Jet and BET because that's their target audience.
lets keep this thread bcr v. yr
start another thread if you want to argue politics, or just meet in your local starbucks
Yuppie - Looks in mirror before running, brushes teeth, and makes sure the outfit works.
BCR - Slept in running shorts, and rolls out of bed, stepping into running shoes for morning run.
Yuppie - Jogs in place at intersection.
BCR - Runs alongside street, looking for hole to dart through to get across.
I think everyone is mixing up having/not having money and being/not being hardcore.
Just because you make a living with your brain instead of your hands doesn't mean you're a pussy.

right on man, it has turned into a thread about what "hardcore runners" like and dislike about other runners. LAME
Dude, these are GENERALIZATIONS. On more than one of these I am a Yuppie runner, but you're right, it obviously doesn't mean I am a pussy.
I think you're confused. To me a yuppie RUNNER and a blue collar RUNNER is not defined by how you earn a living. It has more to do with your approach to running.
Carry on....

BCR: Realizes that last 400m interval in 60 that is making him do the cowboy walk probably produced a little lactate.
