Certainly the Germans Have a Word for this

Everyone knows the famous Andy Warhol concept of “fifteen minutes of fame,” but surely there needs to be some sort of phrase applicable when you’re mentioned in a list of people or entities that are so utterly out of your league that your only reaction can be: “Well, that makes no kind of sense at all, but I almost feel famous by accident!”

In my case, that list would come from MAD artist extraorinaire Tom Richmond’s blog, where he’s hyping the new issue of Stay Tooned magazine and notes that it will feature, “Interviews with Jules Feiffer, Berke Brethed and Ben Towle.”

In other recent news, I recenty purchased a bottle of 1998 Dom Pérignon Rosé, a 1945 Mouton Rothschild and some Night Train.
