Does it count as namedropping when it's my own name?

I always use my maiden name when I call my insurance agent in Virginia, because the Massies are kind of a big deal in Nelson County :P  I'm having to make all sorts of phone calls and inquiries because we're refinancing the mortgage on my condo in Virginia, which will be wonderful when it's all done, but getting the shit together for it is a major pain in the tush.  But I'm getting it done, and then we'll have mo' money, and presumably not mo' problems.

Every time I hear a reference to that phrase, I think of Adam, and the night we were driving home from the Stagg Bowl in 2001.  We were soooo tired, and ou of nowhere, he goes "Mo' money, mo' problems...no money, even mo' problems."  And I laughed harder than I have ever laughed before or since.

My boss is wearing a sweater vest and looks exactly like Chandler Bing today.

Slightly related, but every time I encounter someone that has the same last name as a well-known person, I always wonder if they're somehow related. For example, there's a family at my church with the last name of Bland, so I always wonder if they're related to Richard Bland or any of the First Families of Virginia.

I love Virginia and Civil War history, and yes, there does seem to be a lot of Massies ( spelled NOT Massey) over there.

Yeah, that's all my family :) Most of them (us) are still in Central Virginia. I'm the black sheep who left for the wild west.
