Is this really the first thread for the erstwhile National Lampoon/New Yorker hybrid? Or was it more of a snarky Vanity Fair? I was just browsing through some back issues here and found myself getting nostalgic for the days when the enemies were Michael Milken, Leona Helmsley and, uh, Donald Trump. So many inconsequential quotes from Spy pieces have stuck with me all these years: Iggy Pop: "I just love filling this thing (points to head) with knowledge." Cory Feldman: "I'm wearing black every day this year to call attention to the issue of racism." And those Walter Monheit/Eric Kaplan movie blurbs! "Read my lips: the silver screen is John Ritter country!"
