Shirt.Woot

If it only had a grill....

...what the hell is going on here? This design is confusing.

Looks like RubyRed figured out how to build a better mousetrap.

Hmm, what's so special about the metallic ink? It doesn't look much different on the shirt comp.

That's some serious prehistoric bling ya got there, T

Is this the Nashville Predators' new logo for next season?

EDIT: just read the full description and saw I was beaten to this reference... WAH!

This'd be an awesome shirt for those hip rapper paleontologist pranksters. A lot cooler than the standard chattering teeth gags.

Interesting offering with the metallic gold ink.

Metallic? What are we talking about here, silver, gold, platinum?

Actually, judging by the shirt, it seems like we're getting gold.

yes, we'd get gold metallic ink.

hmm I seem to remember this as teefury side art, nice print.

The pre-historic chatter-tooth does exist!

Saber tooth cats have the most awesome scientific name

My only wish is that someone does this to my own skull when I'm dead.

I'm confused too.

The design I'm eh about but metallic ink sounds interesting... Maybe they'll use it again in a future design that I'm not so "eh" about. By making this statement I believe it tags me to have this shirt delivered in a future random shirt purchase.

I knew I had seen this elsewhere before! I thought I was crazy.

You've figured out how it works... Now you must perish!

I give the Woot staff kudos for knowing what Carcharodontosaurus is.

... unless of course you just opened a random dinosaur book to a random page and chose a random name.

no doubt B, no doubt.

The Design part of my brain says nooooo, but the "oooh shiny thing" part of my brain says YES YES YES!!!

I didn't know Magneto used a faux-tooth program to keep his minions in line.

If someone could rig a fossil like this, it would change textbooks dramatically. "Saber tooth cats were by far the most gangster creatures to ever walk on Earth"

This graphic is used as the photo icon for RubyRed every time one of his prints is offered at teefury. So you've probably seen it several times.
Me, I like it. My son's gonna go bonkers over it. Not sure how he'll feel about the metallic, though.

I like the Idea of metallica ink, but the subject is not so much.. what I would want...to be, of this thing. <--micheal scott.

What's so awesome in Chisel Tooth (Smilodon)?

I know it's hard for us to wrap our head around this, but it's true...someday these things will rise up against humans, rule the earth and eventually travel back in time to kill a certain John Connor

If anyone gets this, fill me in. Not sure what i would think if i saw a person walking down the street with this. well done design and metallic paints are always cool but meh..

Add one confused poster.

I love how the most fossil-rich areas of the United States are the ones gobbling this up.

There's gonna be a lot of tacky "bling" adorning the paleo junkies in Montana!

Add me as one more that has no clue what the design is about...

It's two jokes for the price of one!!! and if you act now we'll add in shiny absolutely free!!!

As am I.
If this thing is meant to open when wound, shouldn't the hinge point be in the back of the mechanism instead of the front?

I'm getting sick of these Woot shirts. It seems about 1 out of every 20 or 30 is decent. They are always so off the wall and weird. I mean what the heck is it today? It's just stupid.

When will they get the message and start selling shirts that people would actually wear?

Ugh. Day after day just plain weird shirts.

Why?!?!?!?!?!? What kind of business model is that?

I have to agree. The pick'ins have been mighty slim. Hardly anything sells out. You can shine it up all you want with metallic ink, but a turd is still a turd.

I usually can figure these shirts out, but I don't get this one. Why only 1 gold tooth? Is Woot downsizing on the metallic ink and can only afford 1 tooth?

I think this design would have worked better without the weird crank mechanism. I have to admit, I don't even get the crank mechanism... it's not hydraulics... *confused*

The thought of a paleontologist finding a Sabertooth skull with a gold tooth amuses me... the thought of the paleontologist tricking out the skull themselves does not.

For those maybe a little confused, there is a dinosaur (is a mammal a dinosaur?) called Smilodon, which is the Sabre-tooth tiger. And it looks like it is supposed to be like those mechanical chatter teeth that the Joker always throws around. I think the halftone BG doesn't help and to better help the message that it is chattering teeth maybe have the skull be red and the teeth white and maybe one tooth and the winder gold? I don't know. I like the actual skull but something is just off.

Soooooo I think it's safe to safe that most of us have no idea what the hell this shirt means. Fail.

Nashville makes it into the news, yay!


Wait, what flooding...?




PS: I actually did think it was Nashville Predators related when I first saw it.
