Runners are all yuppies (myself included). Running is not a blue-collar sport in this country. You can find them, but you've got to look hard.
My cousin is a tool-and-die man at the Jeep plant in Toledo, and he says there's a guy who runs to work every day with his tools in a backpack, changes into coveralls on the plant floor, then changes back and runs home. THAT's a blue-collar runner. -

Yes - that's a blue collar beer. Schlitz or Pabst is white trash. -

I'd hate to read what you say about Black Label. Not the yummy Candadian variety mind you, but the ridiculously awful American variety. Also Genny Cream Ale is horrible. -
