They are not at all similar.

Thanks jzelts. Not every shirt is for everyone, but I get the feeling snakes aren't high on many people's list of favorites....

Jimiyo, thanks for the comments on the, um, “striking” colors.

I may take your advice to try that palette again – maybe they’ll inspire a future design.

Thanks to others who commented as well. Adder, I’ll do my best to post sooner this week! Superspryte.... Glad you like it. I’m not convinced snakes are a very popular subject matter around here, so not sure I’ll be rushing to make more. It’s generally best to stick with furry things, right?

Re: om

very nice
must get one of these for my wife

glad to see it moved up to number six
keep going!

Re: Alas poor Yorick (spelled correctly)

Awww, this isn't going to make it?

I want a skull shirt, but you can't just go wearing skulls without a reason.

And I'm not angsty... This would have been a good enough excuse.

Would have bought one for sure!

Well...

I couldn't find the original post, but I remember asking why 'W' and that I thought 'P' might have been a funnier letter, or that 'M' might have made more sense. Like 'M' is for monkey!

Someone made a good argument about 'W' being the middle initial of some country's president... Not sure where it went from there.

Re: Quoth the sparrow

I would buy this for sure. It's so esoteric, even wooters later on would see my shirt and be like, "Huh?"

And it does suit the overall parody mindset of woot. Perhaps one of the surprise entries later?

The comment about a "his and hers" set is pretty good, too.

I really did chuckle out loud. GMV.

also here is a higher res. version of the image:

My wife makes dog biscuits at home and uses baby food (beef, turkey, etc).... they're know in our household as "baby meat biscuits". Yum!

Re: hungry shark

Why does this have white in mouth in one picture but appears to have black in mouth in the other... kinda confusing.

Re: Blue Birds in Nest

Just a quick word of thanks to all that voted on my entries this week. Looking forward to the new theme. We'll be traveling for a few weeks, but maybe I can get an entry in while 'on the road'.

yeah, this pi pie has nothing to do with apples, so not even the "concept" has been done before... just a "related" concept at best

Re: om

Amazing, I want this shirt

Re: I can do a raven too two

I'm just dissapointed that the Evil Panda Robot of Doom hasn't reappeared... Beware the EPRoD, it's watching, patiently waiting to pounce and snap you like a bamboo shoot. Robots have a lot of patience.

Re: Eeeny Meeny Miney Moe

I can't believe this tiger isn't in the fog yet. What's it gonna take? What do you think the magic # is? I'm rootin' for ya, tgentry

Love the shirt. If I'm going to wear glasses. I might as well wear them loud and proud.

phatseaslug wrote:Unfortunately, the meaning of this shirt is not very exciting. It's supposed to make no sense really (at least to most people). My brother-in-law's middle name is Honway, and this is just a joke we make. It was just supposed to seem random. I think it was just rejected because it is not in the shape of my brother-in-law though.

HONWAY is
The act of an entire group having sex in lockerroom. Don't
play stupid.

Re: Eeeny Meeny Miney Moe

I think this is definitely the most well constructed and has the best colors of any entries of this type (except my sister's raven of course ). It's probably hindered by its perceived childishness.

Re: Ribet the frog

Way cool....I hope the votes come at the last minute...I would get at least one

Re: om

Wow.. Serene AND creepy. neat.

Re: Quoth the sparrow

This I would have bought.. too bad there are not enough votes.

Unbelievable as it may seem(although in retrospect, quite logical because of the lakes) Michigan has the most lighthouses in the country. I had no Idea. Now I need to plan a trip to Michigan...

Michigan FTW!

True.

I like this shirt much better than the one that was "copied".

tgentry wrote:Thanks Shan! Hey, 600 votes isn't bad, can't complain too much, fogged or not.

So true, you should be very proud of your vote total! And crazy things always happen in the last hour of voting.

superspryte wrote:He had 3.141592 but changed it. Asking him to add more...that's a bit silly. It's a shirt; it's accurate even if it is rounded and adding more would just muddy it up.

Pi is a irrational number anyway, so no matter how many digits you put on a shirt, you will still have to round.

Man, i love this shirt. Wish it had a chance of winning. Good luck anyways.

Very cool idea and execution.

Man, I wish I had more time to enter this one.

Re: flammable material

once again thanks for the support this week everyone. feels really great seeing comments from people letting you know something I worked so hard on is appreciated.

I'm bummed i didn't make it to the top, but breaking 100 isn't bad!

thanks again, ill see you in future derbys.

Looks good, but I still cant get an anwser why this is not considered a celebrity likeness!!!!

Re: U.S. Lighthouses

Thanks everyone who voted for me this week! I only hope my entries to better as the weeks go on. As it is, I'm stoked to have gotten as many votes as I did.

Thanks Again!

I still can't get an anwswer as to why Abraham Lincoln is not a celebrity image. Seems a little fishy to me.

What would hers say? I have a headache.

Re: om

Maybe this can be a regular non-derby design. I am so sad this didn't make it.

Re: om

Wow....this really deserved to be #1. Fantastic run though. PLEASE let me know if you get this printed elsewhere in the future.

I really really really like this shirt!!! I only wish the font was a little more elegant, in keeping with the speech.. Ah well - I'll definitely buy one anyway!

Re: Elemental

Thanks again to everyone who voted for my shirt, it feels really good to have done this well for a first submission. =]

Re: om

Hope it gets made somewhere. Such a great design.
