Thanks!... I thought it may get more love, but it's sorta flailing in a sea of text this week. We'll see how much better or worse it does once Joel takes the rejectonator out tomorrow around 10am ish CST. That's usually when we see the weekend rejections take place. I hope it moves up a little and gets a bit more notice.

I know you're not being racist at all--don't get me wrong! I just know the history of the rhyme since I did a paper on the whole "changes of oral tradition" theme, and people tend to shy away from anything that might be even *barely* construed as racist by the furthest possible stretch of the imagination...

BTW the colors are great, the tiger shape is great...I LOVE the Blake poem idea, though--it might be worth it!

I believe that "tiger" was the original version. The nursery rhyme is English; the N-word is American, and earlier known versions of the poem don't have the N-word in it.

Personally, I didn't even know that there was a racist version to this rhyme until someone mentioned that this shirt might be controversial. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian.

Re: Gettysburg Address

Sweet design! I'd love to have this shirt. Please make it!

I like this idea.. actually i had this idea on my own.. that wuz teh funneh.. but i would have prefered that each word (atleast each letter) be it's own color... it is too easy imo to put some words down and then put colors where they work. o well. Good job with the design and congrats on making it to the fog! I don't want to take away from that just wanted to give my 2 cents

thanks mj for the suggestion. I did think about changing the wort "shirt" to the word "rock".. then it would read "chickens rock"... but there are so many great designs that i decided to spend my time on school... . I really do appreciate the suggestion though. maybe ill do something good next week...

Clever! I really think this is the only one I've seen in this derby I'd actually buy.

I want this shirt soooo bad... if you don't win you should really make it on cafepress.com i'd def buy one!

dang it i'd SO buy this if it were printed! i need more nerdy lit tees for my colleagues to groan at.

better this than two "quoth the raven" shirts. IMHO, shakespeare tee > poe tee.

Re: Rule of thumb

Sorry hun, this one will get the rejectectamatron's hammer.

I would be down for 2 if this comes up. My husband and I are always less than 3'ing each other. Great Idea!

Re: JOIN OR DIE

This is awesome. gmv

Re: Tiny Bubbles

The B bubbles look like little cartoon faces to me. ^^

Re: Pub Song

Before anyone asks, the song is public domain and a traditional irish drinking song.

awe thanks!
I actually had the kids in mind when I made this. I remeber saying the pledge everyday when I was young and well now everything is so darn "politcally correct"

Thanks again!

good shirt but this is woot. people only vote for pop culture references and internet memes.

Re: Cold Dead Hands

looks great, nice work

Adorable :D

Re: Spicy

needs a better font.

eHalcyon wrote:The B bubbles look like little cartoon faces to me. ^^

Yeah, I started playing with them a while to keep them from looking so different from the others. I noticed a little bit of a face in them once I put the 'holes' in them L O L. I think at the positions they're in, only the B way to the right can really give that feel now. Although, once you see the face in the letters, you see them on all three B's

Re: hungry shark

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

Re: Binary Man

I'm happy to see that the binary across the bottom of the design actually spells out Binary Man (yes I typed in the whole binary string to see.)

01000010 01001001 01001110 01000001 01010010 01011001 00100000 01001101 01000001 01001110
= Binary Man
Check for yourself here

The only thing I would have preferred was a bit more to the design. I mean, I realize he's 1's and 0's but perhaps it could have been elaborated upon. Basically it's a stick person without more detail.

Re: My United States Of...

I don't think this is what woot is looking for this week. The idea is to take text and make them form an image. Take a look at other entries to see what I mean.

Re: Yin Yang

THis is a great idea. I just wonder if there was a way to make the Ys without having them look like 9s.

Re: Tiny Bubbles

This is really cool. Do you think it would it get more votes if the whole shirt or all the letters were shown in the thumbnail? I almost went right past it. It wasn't until I got to see the whole shirt that I realized what it was and had that "Oh, that's good" moment.

Re: Brain Storm

Definately one of my favorites, perhaps a small tweak in the design or layout would help the brains of those who see it.

there are some really stellar designs this week, im glad mine is doing as well as it is.


btw, everyone should check out the 'elemental' shirt design (i got a link in my sig) this is my good friend, kixxster's, first entry, and it came out sweet. so check it out and give her some support if you like it!

Thanks for the support! I love this shirt, and I want one!

Re: Elemental

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm really happy to see this doing as well as it is for my first entry. I hope to be entering more regularly, so look for more of my stuff in coming derbies. I'm really interested to see how this week's turns out...

RoniIsAJick wrote:Isn't this quite similar to this popular image? http://www.angelsgateart.org/shows/artdem/schneider_war.jpg

I don't think they're similar. In mine, the graphic is made with text. In theirs, the text is next to the graphic. No similarities at all.

Re: Pub Song

I think you need to be more worried about the size of the font. Woot sometimes shies away from smaller fonts since they don't always print well.

Check to see that your smallest font is at least 1 pt. And be prepared if they say that 1 pt isn't good enough, since they may have new info.

narkus wrote:this is nice, kinda hieroglyphic

Thank you! I just wish my detail was better, i think a lot of people just pass over it.

Re: Fashion Capitals of the World

THIS IS SO FABULOUS!!! If i could I would vote for it over and over!!! Nice design!

Re: Less Than Three?

I love the placement on the shirt, and the colors. I'm really rooting for this one!

Re: It's a tie.

This one makes me giggle. Very clever. I wouldn't wear it, but just wanted to give you props on a good design.

Re: In de Style of de Stijl

I really love the idea of this. I'm sort of wishing it was a different typeface...very different from everything else here though, points for that!

That's amazing! I must remember to do that whenever I get around to getting married.

Re: Heroes go PEWPEW

I have to admit I didn't click at first because it didn't look too exciting. But I'm glad I did! I have to vote if not just for the "pewpew" had me laughing for a good minute
