Name Drop Time™

It’s that time during dinner at the conference when Joe from Charleston or Greg from Fort Worth whip out their dicks and start measuring in name drops. And yes, it’s usually guys and it seems like one of them is always from Texas.

Usually I turn to whoever’s closest and talk about anything else but tonight I just sat there. See, the topic of the day was Social Media and the audience ranged from those like Greg from Fort Worth, who had it all figured out to Janice who just e-mails AND THAT’S IT [uncomfortable laughter]. So I listened.

“Have your read X?” or “So and so does this and he’s amazing” and “If you don’t know [fill in the blank] you’re missing out.” On and on and naturally the conversation turns to Twitter.

I quickly realized that parts of my body I’ve long forgotten about have gag reflexes or sphincters and when Joe from Charleston explained what Twitter was and how you should be using it, I learned which organs have both.

So what I’m saying is that it was a bad idea and the pork chop was delicious.
