Re: The Weed Wackers

Ever do a Lawn Job?... We have! Oh yeah!... and in celebration of past dastardly deeds we have formed our rock tribute band... It brings us back to those glorious hot summer landscaping days... we hope it does the same for you...

Re: The Weed Wackers

Oh... BTW - We're The Weed Wackers - And yes, it's the same guys who've mowed your mothers lawn,... ;-) but that's in the past! Now... we're doing something a bit different - using sounds from the tool shed - we've incorporated our heavy gas powered equipment and combined it with a rock'n mixture of bass, guitar and drums... so break out those lawn chairs and barbecues we're coming to rip it up right on your front lawn! 2500lbs of mulch not included...

You made me curious, so I googled it: Hermoine's wand

You can dig around on the site and find Harry's. Comparing the two, the illustration on the shirt definitely seems to resemble Hermione's more so than Harry's.

I haven't read those. Didn't they make the first one into a movie sometime back?

(and referring to your other post that I'm too lazy to quote, not enough people say "by dint of" anymore)

Re: Interplanetary Bunnies

Aaaand woot demonstrates, once again, why I haven't bought any of their offered shirts since the alternate history derby back in JANUARY.

Re: The Filthy Mudbloods

I'm pretty sure that people think it's Hermione's wand according to the movies:

Now if the movie got it right, that's a different story.

Also, is it sad that I find this discussion more interesting than most of the others? At the very least there aren't people getting upset here... unless the topic of which house is best arises.

They're geeks who rock. Well enough to tour the world in support of the whole new musical genre they've spawned. It's probably about time for this, maybe the shirt will yet find a real home...

yep i pretty much have to own this now...

IndependentVik wrote:When you leave the movie theater after having watched something terrible (for the sake of argument, let's say anything by Michael Bay), would you be annoyed if someone attacked your criticism of said terrible movie with "well, how about YOU try making a better film, mister critic?"

If the analogy is too far off for your taste ("I don't have $80 million to make a movie" you might very well say) then replace the idea of a terrible movie with a terrible book.

Let's use your movie analogy for a second to take a look at why people feel they have a right to complain about designs on here in the first place.

When you go to the movie, you are exchanging currency for a service (at least I think that it would be a service, I'm pretty sure it's not considered goods?). If you receive poor service, you would obviously be upset since you wouldn't feel you received what you paid for. Here you don't pay for anything... it's free... we don't do anything but give some of our time.

The second issue is that when you go to a movie, you expect it to be "good" according to the previews. If it didn't meet your expectations, I would again see reason for someone to complain. When it comes to the designs on here, people know what to expect... and they get just that. Complaining about getting exactly what is expected seems a bit silly, doesn't it? If I complained that High School Musical 3 was a childish musical after I had seen the previews, or that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn didn't have spaceships in it after I had read the back cover, then I'd be a bit foolish wouldn't I?

The point I'm trying to make (even though I might not be doing so very well... I am quite tired), is that everyone who comes on here to complain plans on doing so before they log in. If they are trying to get people to change their habits, then that's one thing. If they continue to do so without any success, then they are just beating a dead rabbit.

While some movies may break through and actually have something great to them, Hollywood is driven by sex and violence... it may not be pleasant, but that's the way it is and will continue to be. We have to put up with horrible cookie-cutter box office smashes while we look forward to those few that really break the mold...

HoHo. I stand corrected... No argument here.

Re: Electric Bill and the Charges

Always a homeschool fan. Good luck on fogging.

Re: The Spitball Ninjas

I think papyrus fits this perfect!!

i use papyrus all the time at work...im a typesetter. It has a lot of great uses and it has a bit of an Asian feel to it.

Re: Faces Wild

clever turn of a phrase. i do like the composition.

so many owls. i love how people are creating back stories for each shirt, cracking me up.

while i love every design, at this point you might be ross peroting/ralph nadering yourself by taking votes away, but you never know. i say that because i have seen posts saying "i don't know which one to give me vote too!" instead of voting for many.


good luck with the derby. i still want hootsters to climb!

Re: Hooty Loves Fishsticks

i love this!!!!

Re: Super Obscure (Ambigram)

I like the idea, but I think it'd work better if the actual shirt included both perspectives on the text--with "this band is" over the silhouette, as it is now, but also with "superobscure" under it.

Re: Union of Crowns

This is by far the best shirt this week! Very wearable...

Absolutely has my vote & I want one.

NEEDS MORE VOTES!!!

(Hmm, can't get back into my own post to edit it.)

Actually, I think the best look for the shirt would be just like the shirt comp. And Woot wants shirt and comp to match anyway--you're courting rejection as it is.

Re: Interplanetary Bunnies

This Derby is filled with so many wearable, creative, unique and clever designs. Shirts that aren't cutesy, but are instead very entertaining. Shirts you know it took alot of thought to conceive. That being said, it sickens me that something like this is in the fog.

There are probably 15 shirts in this Derby that I'd definitely buy, and as of right now none of them are in the fog. Damn shame for a Derby that had so much potential.

I once had a friend who always wore the same black, long-sleeved t-shirt and same pair of jeans. Every day. It turned out he wasn't refusing to ever wash his clothes, but he actually had a closet full of the same outfit. All the same pants. All the same shirts.
No one ever gave him a hard time about it...

Re: Union of Crowns

Love this design... my mom would definitely want 1 being from the UK!

Re: LIVE!...well...

Cannot read the details.

really like this!
and i love the colours!

I agree very awkward... would love to see the whole name, shadow corrected or removed and definitely some sort of catch phrase... tour dates etc. It's an awesome illustration... end presentation delivery seemed a bit rush!

would probably buy this as a shirt. like the pink/black!
