Awesomeness? Really?

The awesomeness is hidden behind the black... look really hard for it.

obvious troll is obvious.

You think you're so smug, Ye Woot Writers, thinking you can hide your teleportation scrolls behind the Black Water. But avast, I have found your secret tunnel to the strange lands of music! King Eno sends his regards.

Clearly not a viking. Crusader. Surfing on his shield.

Likely his shield was actually made of wood so maybe it would float? My historical geekiness doesn't extend to the buoyancy of crusader shields.

The one thing I can't explain is curious he's got a colander on his head...

I JUST WANT T SHIRTS, NOT POLITICAL PROPAGANDA!!!

YAY for the return of the offended party!

I think it's just about time the Surfing Knight Party make its presence known. It's long over due I must say. For years, the Democrats and Republicans have silenced its voice. But now, it's time we stand up, wave our fist in the air (like we just don't care), and take what's ours! Because today, we celebrate our INDEPENDENCE DAY! VIVA LE RESISTANCE! and of course, FOR FREEDOM!!!

Sometimes I see things that hurt the nerd inside me.

If so, C3PO better watch out...

Yeah, I was expecting the tin man in board shorts until I saw the closeup. Meh to knights. He's not even on a surfboard, so how does the banner fit?

First thing I thought of when I saw it: "Looks like Tommy Chong"

Didn't they film the part in The Ring where the girl climbs out of the well, in Stanwood?

dont make light of my policitcal beliefs

The image is weirdly esoteric and cryptic and has that neo-underground comic feel and the contrast makes it a chore to figure it out and so therefore I can't see myself dancing to it.
But the commentary is brilliant.

I can't imagine his rust issues.

Normally, I am surprised that when I don't like a shirt, the rest of you seem to rave about how great it is. This time, we are all on the same page. It feels good.

why...?

I think it's bad pun week at woot.

That ad copy is awesome! Almost awesome enough to make me buy this shirt.

Almost.

yes. And the axe makes him look like he has an angry eyebrow. Or maybe that's just me. =\

The poor guy on the shirt is definitely having some sort of identity crisis.

Is he a viking? Nope, no pointy horned cap and too much armor.

Is he the Tin Man? Nope, not with that beard and it looks like he has plenty of heart (see that grin?)

Is he a knight? Well, maybe. That's certainly what the write up would have you believe, but any true iconic knight would be carrying a sword, not some puny axe (it's not even one of those awesome double-headed battle-axes, it looks more like what I would chop firewood with).

Is he a surfer? Despite his deep tan (I'm sure that's why the image is so dark) he's missing the requisite shell on a hemp braid necklace so he can't be a real surfer.

I can only conclude this is actually an image of the guy from the $6 shirt advertisement dressed up to go LARPing who somehow found himself in the wrong game and ended up needing to play a Surfer Dude instead of the Level 9 Dwarf King he was dressed as.

That was the most identifiable thing on this shirt when I first looked at it!



Ooooh, and look. My box is a pretty green now... can't wait until I get to purple!

Could be bronze, that has tin in it.

This may be a stupid question, but you can tell by the color of my box that I'm rather new here. Is it possible to order more than one shirt design in one order or must they all be ordered separately?
Who stole my shopping cart?

You can only order up to 3 shirts an order. They have to all be the same shirt.

Hang tin makes me think of someone putting up a tin roof. Not a surfboarding viking.

Does anyone else think he looks like he's completely wasted?

Yeah, unfortunately Woot doesn't offer a shopping cart. It's not a big deal for people in the USA (free shipping) but it hurts a little for international customers like myself. Of course, it's not as big a deal once you've been around a while since I won't be buying from the reckoning list as often.

anyone else remember when shirt.woot didn't suck every day?

He kind of looks like Arthur from "Ghosts n' Goblins."

Good god, I can't see it. And it's making me feel really stupid.

Am I supposed to cross my eyes or something?

This is pretty awful.

Oh... wow, I'm not amused by this at all.

I am.

The comments, that is.

The description text is awesome indeed.

The shirt? Eh.

Yeah, it's just like those 3D pictures... you have to focus just past the normal line of site to see it.

vikings didn't wear feathers in their helmets did they?



and not to harp on it too much. but the feathers are supose to be bigger makes the knight look more knightley? right?

I tried...I saw a dragon. I think I'm doing it wrong.

I give up. I'm gonna go make a cake.
