My dear cousin-in-law (arch nemesis) Mike made a comment today that he was having a KMFDM marathon.  This reminded me of a period of my life around the age 20-22 when I subsequently lost all my KMFDM t-shirts.  By “lost”, I mean “was robbed”.

A little back story here:

KMFDM is a German industrial band.  They were formed in the mid 80′s and have since done something like 16 studio albums, with “Juke Joint Jezebel” being their most widely heard song, showing up on the big screen in both Bad Boys (featuring Martin Lawrence and The Fresh Prince) and Mortal Kombat (featuring Sub-Zero and Scorpion).  I listened to them quite a bit during the 90s.

The thing about KMFDM is that they had EXCELLENT album covers.

my favorite design, now probably in the bottom drawer of some harlot's dresser

I thought these designs were superb and had a pretty good collection of black t-shirts featuring said artwork.  Of course, the girls I dated also thought they were pretty cool.  I noticed that slowly but surely my shirts would eventually end up in the clutches of these thieving women.  By the time I hit 22, my collection had gone from maybe 6-8 different KMFDM shirts to 0! Of course my friends all thought this was tremendously funny.  In fact, whenever they would see a girl wearing a KMFDM shirt they would ask them if they knew me.

A word of warning: UNLESS YOU ARE MARRIED TO THEM, DO NOT LET WOMEN BORROW YOUR FAVORITE SHIRTS!

That is all.
