Is name-dropping ever appropriate?

[NightTrain]

I'd say it's not. And you know who agrees? Meryl Streep, Wynton Marsalis, Peggy Fleming, and Howard Dean!

1. Only if it helps you get a job and you are currently unemployed

2. Well, this one time, when I was talking to Joe Strummer about it...

I asked what he thought, but he didn't really have an opinion so I asked Roger Daltrey, but he was in the middle of a Bulova watch commercial, so I turned to Pete Townshend and posed the same question. Pete was busy excusing himself from bumping into an intert object, but otherwise offered no opinion.... :P

To answer your question...name dropping is very, very bad.

4. you know, i was discussing this very thing with Bill and Hilary the other

day and they both said "It's way fucked up" at the same time! Then Hilary said "Jinx! Ya owe me a Coke" and Bill gave her 65 cents...

6. When I had dinner with Brad & Jen last week

They indicated that name dropping was probably not the way to go.
John & Elizabeth Edwards agreed, but Madonna said she thought it was ok.
A big discussion broke out- Ashton said it was bad, Demi said it was the only way to survive life. Eventually everyone looked at me for the answer. I said I didn't understand name dropping and would never do it.
At which point Elton John jumped up & began applauding followed by Colin Farrell & Angelina Jolie. Then Britney Spears began writhing on the table while she serenaded me with "I'm a Slave 4 U."

Name Dropping-Like my good friend Hillary Clinton says..... it's SO 1985.

8. only if you're pompous and condescending when you do it

I mean, "As long as you're not pompous and condescending when you do it." I mean, what did I mean?

9. Jeff Gannon told me it was always appropriate--

except when you're getting head.
