I guess I just have an extra dirty mind, I can't even let myself wear this because of myself. >.> LMAO...

This comment shows I obviously need to go to bed. (To sleep!! I caught myself on that almost super embarrassing post!!)

Re: The Best Exercise... [v2]

The general public will likely disagree, but these are my two critiques:

1. I think the previous colour scheme was better. I liked the way the text worked with the shirt colour. I'm guessing you were afraid it was too subtle and would be hard to read - maybe a happy medium between this bright orange and the original pale orange?

2. The placement of "takes" is much better in this one. I think it would be better without italics and if all the text was the same colour, like before. If you want some variation, I'd suggest not using such a stark contrast.

Other than that, I really like both designs. Very well done.

Re: Gazelle-on-Gazelle Action!

Love your style, the humor and the design. ;) Very clever. GREAT job on the thumbnail. XD

Re: Lean Beef

Wow. I've never been attracted to a bull before. Or even "ripped" men. This is really freaking me out. I need to go to sleep.

Re: smoking is dumb

Well, besides the fact that it's a little too PSA and not totally on theme, I don't really care for the apple and orange and the way they are drawn...the clothes they're wearing just look strange/off. Maybe if you had them not wearing clothes, but just those numbered tags runners wear? I dunno, that's what bothered me on top of the giant sick cigarette. >.>

Re: Exercise Your Mind

I think the brain needs more depth, (lmao) design-wise. It's a little...square-ish? Too 2-dimensional? Otherwise, I like this design, GMV.

Re: Thrust! Parry! Repeat! C'mon you knaves! Stretch!

Hehe, I like his chainmail and the text. Both the font, and the use of the word "Thy". XD

Re: The Ultimate Walking Route

LMAO, love it, would not want to wear it but I love it. :D

Re: My Problem

Well, it's not very kosher, but that's why God invented an almost equally delicious alternative: Turkey Bacon!

You have officially received more votes from me than John McCain.

Haxrox 2012?

Oh and to all you haters: Angry, jealous, snide, hostile remarks are the most sincere form of flattery, so you have my thanks for complimenting this awesome shirt with me. I look forward to wearing this proudly.

love it

1. Maybe it's more common to refer to the exercises with an article (a, an, the). I'm not sure. I have a high metabolism and am a little underweight even though I eat a lot; I rarely exercise at all (beyond walking pretty much everywhere).

2. Using singular articles on the first few is potentially more humourous - implying the reader can only do a single knee lift, for example. Of course, now it's not funny at all after all this thought and critique.

yea at the time I didn't really pay attention to my grammar... I saw the "exercise is/are" part at some point but I was sidetracked. Let me change that part, and I'd like to pluralize the exercises too...

On the other hand, it is a dead-ringer for sekiyoku.

Aha. I thought that too! And I've only actually been looking at these shirts for two weeks.

Re: For those who don't move around much

ok I've changed the wording so it reads: "Not all exercises are strenuous. For those of you who sit all day, you can do arm stretches, knee lifts, shoulder rolls, or what you've just been doing - neck bends."

I've also made the eyes empty. So does it look less cute? I don't know if it'll be better or worse, but this is actually what I wanted to do at the first place. The empty eyes kinda make the cats zombie-like.

Just so that you know, according to the manual, the lowest Wii Fit age is 21.

I believe it's 20. I scored it once... rocked the various tennis games and that's the number I received. Checked the internet right after, because I thought I should have scored younger, but word around town the youngest is 20.

Re: As seen on TV

I think this is a really nice design, and you've illustrated the figures wonderfully. Got my vote!

Re: Forest Aerobics

I second most of the positive comments above about this one. My only slight qualm is with the colour - I don't think I'm a yellow t-shirt person (I'd totally have it in light blue, but one can always work around things like that anyway).

But yeah, like it.

SarahPants5 wrote:Wow...too many words...I think the Bacon-list one in the fog right now executes this idea more simply, and with some actual design thrown in. Sorry, but just because text is ALLOWED doesn't mean voters will settle for text ONLY.

Thanks everyone for your votes & comments.
Sarah, you are right, but I just couldn't resist the temptation of making hay while the sun shines - we can use text after so long. YIPPY!!! Also what I've written on the T reflects my honest views & I think the views of many people I know, I just had to put it down somewhere till the woot came along. I wish it figured somewhere in the woot for all us lazy bums, who just love to exercise(harmless pun intended). giggles....

Re: Stretching

Cookies!

What a rush!

Re: treadmill cats

Uber cute.
Great work

Re: Got any tape?

Poor guy. Think he meant the line or had lost a bet himself?

Re: Yoga Master Redux

Is that two feet or two ladies with bulbous bufonts having a conversation?

Re: Pump it up!

Dig it!

Re: Mr. T and Exercise

Retro cool.

Re: Pushing Up

SO many of my workouts end this way.

Re: Untamed Workouts

A lot of detail and a little bit of a retro feel to it. I like it.

ahuhu! mine too.... :P

Re: The Quick Brown Fox

Absolutely adorable. Not quite a bunny shirt...but a fox shirt is almost as good.

Re: Mirror mirror on the wall...

This is great! I want one!

WOOHOOOO!!!!

thanks, ramy. I really liked the style of your card design a while back. I guess it probably doesn't convince you to vary your style when it didn't win, but I thought that style was pretty tough.

Thanks!

I love it. Not EVERY shirt needs a design. I like this one more than anything in the cloud.

Re: Old School Sprint

Yeah this is my first entrant. It'll get better. Promise. I was only working with Paint. Gotta figure out how to make it all pretty next time!

And it's from Track and Field (NES). If you had that game then you know about the frentic button smashing ABABABABABABABAB to make your sprinter go faster.

That's whats depressing though. The cards WERE a good design. They didn't do very well. The woot voting demographic has gone from liking clever, well designed shirts to just liking anything with fur and watery eyes, which is really a shame. With the cute stuff winning week after week, it's getting hard to expect much else.
