I think so, too, Bill-- they are funny (and maybe a bit pretentious too, but who cares?). I guess I wasn't so much really worried about any real distance between Herzog and Danzig-- I was just initially flummoxed, being well outside the head-banger demographic, as to what logo was being referenced. But the absurdity of the whole enterprise really should trump everything else. And you bring up a good point about having to explain the damn thing. Whenever I get something like this, I am careful where I wear it-- no putting it on in my hometown for fear of having to go through exactly what you describe.

Andy: Last Exit to Nowhere had featured (until recently, I guess) one that I wish I'd ordered, because it now seems to have vanished: it was a worn-looking logo for Cahulawassee River Tours, with a catch phrase something along the lines of, "See it before it's gone!"

I honestly think these are pretty funny, and I don't think the conceptual leap between, for instance, Herzog and Danzig should matter in the least, as that strikes me as most of the point. It just seems like a clever, slightly absurd gag. At the same time, the conversations I can see my self getting into trying to explain what my T-shirt means make the whole thing sound like too much of a hassle, so I probably won't be getting one.
