Today I went to Taco Bell and I saw a guy in a sleeveless Danzig t-shirt.

What's worse? Being in Taco Bell and seeing a guy in a sleeveless Danzig T-shirt, or being in Danzig and seeing a guy in a sleeveless Taco Bell T-shirt?

I think you know the answer.

I like how the two scenarios are linguisitically similar, but soooo different. To make a more direct comparison, I have decided to interpret the phrase "being in Danzig" in as closely parallel a manner as possible to "being in Taco Bell", i.e., as "being within the physical boundaries of Danzig" rather than as "being a member of the band". This again opens new possibilities. I think it is definitely better to be in Taco Bell and see a guy in a sleeveless Danzig t-shirt than to be surrounded by the members of Danzig while wearing a sleeveless Taco Bell t-shirt. However, I think the possibility of being within the band members (perhaps as some kind of parasite? or some primal animating force?) might actually carry some advantages. On the other hand, wearing the t-shirt in this scenario would be rather difficult.

It would also be especially tough to be in Glen Danzig and wearing a sleeveless Taco Bell t-shirt, because the guy's pretty short.

The other day, I saw a guy on the subway (the actual underground train, not to be confused with Subway the sandwich franchiese) wearing a sleeveless Danzig t-shirt. Do you suppose the same individual has trekked from Ann Arbor to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in order to spread the Danzig love to the masses? I hope so! My guy also had Buddy Holly glasses and some most impressive mutton chops.

ps this is nate and brien's friend megan.

The guy I saw had neither mutton chops nor glasses. Since, however, it is certainly impossible for our respective sleeveless Danzig t-shirt sightings to be unrelated, I can imagine two possible scenarios ( ... )
