Doesnt coinstar take a 3% fee? Dave Ramsey would have a field day with you!

If you like strange monkeys, not a woot monkey though

I dig brown shirts. I dig monkeys.

SOLD.

Hm... I like brown shirts, the colors are nice, the design is cool, I love 孙悟空, and what else can I say about it? I bought one.

I have never been more excited for a derby, in fact this is the first time Ive wanted to post. Great shirt had to be in for 2!

This is a freakin awesome shirt but monkey king could be in so much more better color then blue like red, yellow, or even gold!!!

Freaking awesome shirt. I'm a white monkey, so I had to buy one. (Born in the year of the monkey, and a white guy.) My wife has always said I'm like Sun Wukong.

Your giving people a hard time about their money when they come to an instant gratification site? Dave would start a march to get woot shut down on principle.

\/\/OOT! Got one!

Awesome color choices. The blue is really stunning, especially with the bit of red to set it off.

Can anyone verify the meaning of the chinese characters? I don't want to get strange looks from chinese people because my shirt has a picture of a monkey and says "I enjoy man flesh."

oh yes, along with many others

From the artist, tgentry, in the derby thread:


"The text on the shirt reads "Sun Wukong" in traditional Chinese (I spent about an hour verifying this just to make sure)."

really nice colors, the blue is fantastic.


EDIT: I'm viewing the site in 1920x1200 which leaves tons of extra canvas, so get with the program woot and fill it up!

The 3 characters are "Sun Wukong" which is his dubbed name. In Cantonese it sounds more like "soo mm hoong." But yea that's the name given to him by his master/teacher.

Here's a link to a more modernized TV series in Cantonese.

Keep in mind the right in the beginning the guy is talking fast in mandarin, whereas the theme song and show are all in Cantonese. I just don't want ppl getting confused.
They say his name "Sun Wukong" at 5:48 in the video. Enjoy

Are Sun Wukong and Son Goku the same person?

Congrats on the print. I was disappointed by this derby...I was hyped on the theme, and then the designs didn't grab me, so I decided not to get any shirts from it. Might get this for a friend though...*leaves Jaden in suspense*

In my monthly budget, I have $20 set aside specifically for Woot Shirts. If I did the rollover, then I'd have $50 to spend this month.

I love the design, but I can't bring myself to buy it. I think it's the brown shirt, but it wouldn't have worked on anything else.

Congrats, and there is no * next to this win in my brain.

Yes. Sun Goku is the way the characters are pronounced in Japanese.

Oh, thanks for the quick response. I figured that they were the same but wasn't entirely sure.

Dragonball was (very loosely) based off of Journey to the West.

This is my fav o the fog! In for 1, congrats Tgentry, from a fellow washingtonian! I love the combination of colors, I think this will look awesome!

I LOVE this shirt. Great job, tgentry! Most of the shirts I've bought from woot are made by you.

I love this design and especially the colors. Got 2, going to gift the 2nd

Awesome shirt is awesome. I voted for this too! My first ever vote! In for one :-)

bought one <3 the design!

Haven't bought a shirt in awhile, but had to pick this up. It's the MONKEY KING!!! Great job Tgentry.

In fact, that's simplified Chinese not traditional, they only differ by the first character though

WTG again tuna!!!

WICKED!!!! i took back all my other votes (sorry guys) for this shirt, it was amazing!

oh yay!!! my internet was down before, so happy to see this one!! and there is NO * by this 1st place win silly. its totally deserved, and if you think about it, if you placed lower maybe you could say that. (though still wouldn't be true) but to rocket to the top, past the others that were in the fog before you even submitted? its totally totally deserved.

and technical issue anyone please awake now...trying to buy 3, site not letting me select more than 1. I click 3, I try clicking 2 even, and nada. its doing NOTHING when I go clicky clicky. please help!

Congrats Mr. Gentry! This is a great design. I cashed in one of my HM codes for one.

FINALLY a shirt worthy of being on here this week.

I am not a fan of scary monkeys (Wizard of Oz) kinda but I am down for anything that Kicks A$$ and this shirts gets TWO thumbs up because I only have TWO.

If I had more I would give it 4.

Anyway congrats!

Definitely in for one. It's my culture, baby. Gotta love.
