C'mon whales would know how to build a ship.

...and the sail as has been mentioned. The waves are the wrong direction for the majority of sails too.
The masts are not the right heights compared to one another. The crow's nest is on the wrong mast. There's no reason for that sail to be flying away, but perhaps there're some porpoise topmen ready to secure it.

Maybe I've read too much naval fiction for my own good. It's quite likely.
/Dr. Maturin wouldn't know the difference.

Those whales are Master Baiters too.

Good job Boots!

This shirt is a spermie good time for sure!

hello sailors?

Ahahahaha!

Ohemgeeee the hilarity!

many congrats bootsboots!

Can't wait to get these seamen on my chest!

Anyone else noticed the steering whale's eye isn't colored-in white? Not a big deal obviously, the shirt is golden, but it wasn't like that in the derby

I just know I'm gonna feel so sticky wearing this shirt...

Wow.

*We need a week of just BootsBoots' shirts. Maybe two or three.
*Woot really needs to start crediting the writers. Starting today. This write-up is amazing.
*Are they really selling THIS SHIRT in kids' sizes?

I've just splashed out on this one. Really happy. Thanks Boots!

adamsw216 wrote:Haha, is this PG enough for this site?

The thread definitely isn't - kids, cover your eyes!

Not sure if I would walk around with a bunch of "seamen" on my shirt. People give funny looks for that kind of stuff you know.

I imagine someone below deck operating those whales as hand puppets.

bootsboots is hot

I hope no one is buying this for their daughters -_-

bluetuba wrote:LOL! The shirt description made me "whale" with laughter

I agree: best writeup ever. I used to daydream about quitting my job as a technical writer and working as a copywriter for Woot, but this writeup proves I'd be out of my league.

WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!

and LOOK!

Boots- your Seamen turned my box black!!!

YESSSssss!!!

Reminds me of the new music video for the Modest Mouse song "King Rat" directed by Heath Ledger.

It features sperm whales fishing for humans in the ocean. Its quite the interesting video here's the link if you were curious.

Does get quite gory in a way, just a warning.

You obviously don't know much about sperm!

BOOTs I want it to turn mine black too. but I've bought too many shirts this month. I will get it when my quota is down,and after buy a bib. those Seamen are large.

Verdakk wrote:Well obviously this pun is about whale watchers.

Those whales never do come when you expect them to.

You sit there on deck, intent on watching them breach and spray, and then you turn your head and SURPRIIIIIISE!

Whales are dicks like that.

Calm down quequeg. DAAAYYYUUMM...leave it to the internet to go and ruin some good fun. God this shirt's writeup made me el oh el so hard.

"Are they really selling THIS SHIRT in kids' sizes?"

Strange question, since to all the world, anyone wearing this will look very childish indeed.

Bwah, haha. S P E R M get it?

I has such a spunky sense of humorz.

Yeah.
Yawn.

Thanks everybody. I'm glad you think it's a really fluid design that spews good humor. I'm really jacked that it printed! Soon the seamen will be covering bodies all over the world. Bwahahaha.

You guys need to get your mind out of the gutter.
Geeze.

Of course whales make good seamen. The live in the ocean!

And furthermore, I see nothing dirty about a lad named Peter who happens to have lived in Nantucket, Or a Captain who's name happens to be Balzac, Or his first mate Chisholm (Which, for the record, I don't even get then pun in that one).

Chisholm sounds like "jism?" Or maybe it's perfectly innocuous. "Chisholm" could be the name of the writer's sister.

Love the shirt, but why is one of the whale's eye black, instead of white/light gray like it's supposed to be?

It makes him look demented, and I'd prefer priests not shouting at me for wearing the shirt (which you've done excellent at making sure they won't, heh.)

69 comments. Heehee.

Of course, I had to go and ruin it with my maturity.

Got one. Excellent.

I think the shirt itself is cute, even with the obvious wind/wave/wheel problems. However, as a former US Navy sailor, I'm terribly offended by the name of the shirt, and the write-up. They're so wrong!

There should be a "Best of Woot!" page somewhere, and this should be the #1 rated for title, description, comments, and even the design is pretty nifty!

Shigwarm wrote:I'm no sailing expert, but why is the front sail blowing in the opposite direction of all the other sails?

I am a sailing expert and I have the same concern, but that is actually the aft sail and the helms-whale is facing aft for some unknown reason. Also, the waves are cresting opposite to the wind. All very confusing.

jenopy wrote:Or a Captain who's name happens to be Balzac.

That Captain Balzac name is pretty clever. Maybe it's because I have five brothers and a pervy mind that I caught onto that one? hehe

i just noticed the fish. is he hacking it up or going to catch it?

Yep.

I don't, uh,


wow

I don't like the changes. Write-up was excellent.

Off topic, I know, but why no HMs yet for the Halloween derby? I haven't seen them this late before.
