Who Dat? Cocktail Party Primer I

Once your edges have been smoothed out a bit, you'll eventually be invited to parties that don't involve communal bongs and that tacky crystal meth you're no longer supposed to be using. At these parties you'll discover a different grade of people. You see, these people don't smell (not that bad anyway), they have most of their original teeth, and their mattresses are on a frame—not on the floor next to crumpled up tin foil.

These important people could eventually help you get a job so you can save and move out of your stepmother's basement. The wages may be low, but the gig will be legal with some perks. So just what do these important people look like and what are their names? Now Mr. Mannerz has no intention of simply handing over the answer. It's multiple choice, of course.
