Right on! But if they did that, it would look like crap. I'm so close to digging out a shirt, taking a picture, and showing people how low the collar would be and how high the pockets would be if they did that. It would not look like how the voters are expecting it to look.

This shirt is awsome. I wubble the other shirt. I like the picture on this one better and I've always hated text on t-shirts (yha I know, that's weird) This one is more subtle.

don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying they should use the "we can do whatever we want" clause, but it is there, and they can use it for something like this if they really want to print the shirt. I'd say that the shirt would probably look fair if it were printed low enough that the dashed-line pocket looks right, and the strings just appear hanging down from as high as they would fit in 20 inches. Sixteen inches is pretty wide, and 20 inches is pretty tall- on a shirt that isn't XL or bigger, it would probably print pretty well.

You can test woot's itchy rejection finger, but I would try for something clearly within the rules by avoiding all previous lolcats. Then again, taking big risks can have big rewards. If woot didn't reject it surely you'd have loads of votes. I have only heard one person say they didn't like lolcats on woot, though he called them "internet cats".

Best design in the fog..... here's to hoping it stays there!! I'll be spending the extra $5 to get this shirt as soon as possible. Amazing design that hits the derby's objective to a tee.

Very nice!

they have my permission to edit as they please, if needed.

i used the template but your idea of the 16 by 20 template is way off in the coments above... and IF im not inside the guidlines, i must have somehow reduced the size of the shirt surrounding the box during a previous derby and saved it that way... and if thats the case ive been doing that on all my entries since...

Re: Halp

ahaha, this is great!

Re: In Vino Veritas

Best shirt I have ever seen. Even if this doesn't get picked I'd love to get it from some other site.

Re: Halp

It's good for a smile to cat lovers.

I spread happiness today.

One more step towards heaven... though theyll probably reject at the gates for that one time...

Re: I Got Narwhal'd!

Ugh! My 2 favorite shirts are on the edge of the fog as usual.
Vote people!

EDIT: Assuming this gets rejected for the "not your photo" rule.

i should be getting to work.

i used to be addicted to woot, for its daily goodness of cheap electronic products, along with like other deal sites like slickdeals.net/fatwallet.com, and i escaped that bad habit...

now... this. this shirt.woot.

Re: Monsters and Things Climbing Your Shirt; Ahh!

This shirt needs more votes.
For some reason I want.. scratch that NEED these little monsters hanging on to my chest for dear life.

The point is, love sometimes hurts a bit, and the Chinese symbol that I used means love.
the push pins in the shape of the heart are the pain.

You should make that a shirt on the off chance a derby comes up for which it applies. I do that all the time. I can't wait for the day that my Superspam! shirt becomes useful (picture a can of spam flying with a cape).

A head-on view of a goldfish only has so many looks. They're kinda like the Derek Zoolander of the fish world. Let's see, you've got mouth agape-tail right... oh and mouth agape-tail left. Did I leave any out? No I think that is it.

Re: Who's Your Father?

I'm not even sure what I'm looking at?

jwrhen wrote:The idea behind the shirt is almost funny.

But it doesn't change the fact that it looks like you made that in 60 seconds on paint...

Actually it was more like 180 sec. Does a clever idea always need to be complex? hmmmmm......

Re: bolo-rama

Nothing can dress any outfit up or down like a bolo tie...great work

GREAT.. GMV!!

That was the idea. It looked a lot better in my head! I'll try to work on my Drawing-with-a-mouse skills before my second shirt.woot derby entry!!!

I don't, but I'm resourceful! Maybe next time I'll try dummying-down a digital cam pic to 6 colors.

Thanks for not just giving it a "lame" and moving on!
