You might want to pass along an enhancement request to the coding guys to check for all problematic characters in the submission's title and shoot up an error message saying the submission cannot be processed without removing X, Y, and Z. From a former webdev, it just seems like this is a bug that's needlessly existed for way too long. I'm sure there's other ways to fix the problem, but the above solution seems like something that would take very little effort to code and test.

(note: this is assuming that the submission is done over webforms. no idea if this is the case since I have no artistic ability and so have never submitted an entry)

Re: Courtship

Oragutan Mating Guide! This is so damn hilarious, I don't normally buy multiples and don't think I look good in orange but I'd need at least 2 of these (one for my brother) if it printed, lol

I also have sperm whales and LOVE it!

YAY BOOTSIES!

I will submit it to Woot and see if someone can change it . . . or since I have an overwhelming 7 votes, I could just resub. Mind you, 7 wonderful voters that like a big cookie on a shirt. Thanks guys for the help and support!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=45829]Oh! cookie, cookie, cookie starts with

Want it! post link to other site to buy it please ;)

Re: Unzip for C

This is actually pretty clever. I don't understand why it's off topic. The rules even mention using a musical scale.

Re: Chicks in Costumes

Ditto all of the comments! Cute puffy little chicks, creative costumes, candy corn (wow, lots of "C"s And - not too Halloweeny.

wish the green background was a different shade, if it was a more grass green I'd want one

Agreed. If this design got rejected so quickly, why was Ramy's allowed to run all the way into contention?

Rejectionator: thank you for being specific in your reason on this shirt, I like specifics and reasons and consistency

Thanks for all of the comments guys, I had no idea that other shirt existed, but I understand how mine could be seen as too similar. Oh well, I won't be giving up any time soon, see ya next week woot!

Re: Crusade

Looks like the Express logo.

I suppose you could argue that since it has the capability to love that is what makes it a cyborg.

Hmmmm

Not only is it not a cyborg, it's also not a canary! Canaries are yellow, right?

Any personal attacks or regurgitation of past discussions will be deleted, possibly with probation.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, most people who see these such comments are seeing criticism of Ramy for the first time - clearly evident by the abundance of posts saying "I don't understand why all you people are dissing this shirt design! It's the best evarrrr!!"

So really, what you call "regurgitation of past discussions" I would call giving new visitors to these forums the benefit of knowing the full context of Ramy's latest derby submission.

The best part about the tennis ball is how much it makes him look like McEnroe with his headband, in the '70s

I really like this design! It's so upsetting that it got rejected.

Re: c = windows

I don't see how this is true at all.

Re: C is for Cookie

That's good enough for me!

Re: Cookie Crook Captured, Cops Claim

Love a shirt that tells a story so simply and beautifully. FIVE STARS

Re: The Cancer

Honestly, this shirt is sick. The simple fact that it is going to get beat by 8 of the shirts in the top 9 (I say 8 because I must say, I do like the clockwork crow). But for a design that actually comes from somewhere, this one is prime. I've gotta say, even my own shirt entry this week came form pretty much nowhere, but thank god for geometry so I didn't go the route of cuteness, because that is honestly really annoying (my entry is the one with all the shapes in and around a circle, its like 69th place with 12 votes or something). And out of all of the shirts in the fog, I can honestly say I would wear this one before them, hell, I'd wear my own before most of them. Also, on a brighter note, I appreciate the creme color, I feel like it helps tie the piece together.

Re: Catfish

Love this graphical style, and the catfish and mouse bait! Great job!!

Re: Cranky Crab with Coffee (on Brown)

mikenytola wrote:Hmm, I don't know which I like better actually. I love them both. I'd probably still go brown just because it's a better color for me. GMV again. If either one wins I'd be happy

Aw well glad you love them both! I'm not sure which one to take down... the brown has done pretty well, but hasn't caught up to the grey either... decisions decisions!

Re: Catfish

Really great, I love it But, I do wish you would have put more in the thumbnail. Fantastic design, though- the lure makes it!

Re: Clown Car

Lol, this is fantastic. Might be grounds for rejection, but if it is, then let me know if/when you sub it somewhere else. Amazing, as usual

Re: The 9 Lives of Howard The CAT

Oops, no text this week. Think you're going to have to lose the "boo!" from the ghost.

Re: Clown Car

puking? nah hes just pulling scarfs out of his mouth like a magician!

this is great chump, im a fan of your style. +1

Sorry for the double close-up! Thanks for looking! :-)

Re: cthulu's cuddly companion

i would have so bought this if the cat wasn't on there B^(

Re: coffee stain cats

Oragutan Mating Guide SO CUTE WANT--Ahem, I mean, fantastic job, love the placement

Re: Clown Car

Thanks Meg and Jess. And thanks Draug for the warning (I had fun making this, so I already won!)

Also, Id like to take the time to empathize how much is sucks to be the DD (designated driver). Drunk people are annoying... unless you are drunk.

Re: Cubistic Cuckoo Bee

o man if this were on black or asphalt i would so buy this in a heart beat...asphalt would be better though B^P

tgentry wrote:I learned something about caterpillars today: they have a mode of locomotion unlike any other creature. They move their bodies in a wave like motion from back to front, but what actually causes that motion is the caterpillars guts inside it's body are propelled forward. The rest of the body is then pulled along by the guts, causing that wave like motion. Very strange.

Also really cool illustration.

pro...paws on every segment? must be a hymenopteran!

caterpillars are kind of fascinating in chemical ecology terms too - some of them sequester the toxic compounds plants synthesize to try and defend themselves, thus making them poisonous to their predators. I read an article a little bit ago about how tobacco now quickly releases a chemical when tobacco hornworms bite it that attracts insects that in turn eat them!

anyway, really whimsical design. Even though this derby leaves the door open for an inundation of kitties, it looks like the artists are doing an amazing job of making the kitties creative instead of cute. GMV!

Re: Cannibalism

this sooo reminds me of those creepy lil cinnamon toast crunch cereal guys in the commercials...almost as creepy as that lil kid in the teddy grams commercial

yea you got my vote!!! B^)
