I have a minor obsession with Spy magazine circa 1988. I don't remember the exact details of my conversation with Kurt Andersen (Spy co-founder with Graydon Carter and Studio 360 host) but I think it may have gone something like this:
Me: "Spy, Spy, Spy! Spy, I love Spy, Spy, Spy, Spyyyyyyyyyy, Spy. Romenesko. Did I mention Spy?"
Andersen: "Um, yes." (Shifts uncomfortably.)
Me, later, to a friend: "I was briefly thinking of becoming a more overt media whore and getting 'Kurt Andersen reads my blog' tattoed on my forehead. Would that be 'over-the-top'?" (Friend shifts uncomfortably.)
