Sort of, kind of, literally actually. It's thought that Vincent was suffering from exposure to toxic materials, and as a result was going insain. Being a starving artist, he lived in the same space that also served as his studio. Ask anyone who paints with oils how toxic dealing with them can be...now consider how much worse it was 130 years ago...

This design had some... :turns to camera: ... rabid fans.

It's funny that the background is my favorite part. The mist layers and the depth is pretty nifty.

In for 1 for my gf.

you're really shining with the rabid jokes lately =)

High time Woot stated a ramyb.woot.com section...

If only it had a caption of some sorts...

What? No Zombieland quotes yet?

Gotta use 2 nuts to kill the zombie squirrel..double tap, just to make sure.

Thank you for posting this clarification to the write-up. As a less than "rabid" reader of the forums here, I didn't understand why the write-up was referring to Rembrandt and DaVinci.

With the amount of money Ramyb makes off this website, I think he can handle a little ribbing from the woot staff.

If you notice the detail in the eyes of the "not zombies", you'll notice a higher level of detail. The shirt itself is a lampoon on the most common critique of ramyb's...that all his animals are "dead eyed".

This shirt is nuts.

Mine's not going through, either. It's said "order is processing" for 15 minutes. =[

I'm having problems with ordering too! I placed the order, and I guess I'm just going to check back later to make sure it finally processed.

So what you're saying is that Van Gogh was a bit nutty?

Sorry, I couldn't resist such acorn-y joke....

I had been thinking that this design could be called "Nutty Nutty Night."

And it could have its own theme song:

"Oh Nutty Night,
Late September back in '63
I had climbed up on an acorn tree
Then I got bit by a ramy-b
Squirrely zombie Nutty Night"

Well, we tried a few times, I hope that
#1 - if it went through, it only went through once.
#2 - if it didn't, that they'll let us have the shirt for today's price once the issue is fixed.

[edit] - message sent to service@woot.com, will post an update later.

[later edit] So, an order apparently did go through, one on each of our accounts =P (this is what I get for not following w00t law of waiting.) Now, I'll just check in and get one cancelled.

Maybe the site's trying to do you a favor.

"You can't hardly tell at first, not till they get to the point of slobbering and staggering around. When you see a critter in that fix, you know for sure. But you want to watch for others that ain't that far along. Now, you take a bobcat or a fox. You know they'll run if you give 'em the chance. But when one don't run, or maybe makes fight at you, why, you shoot him and shoot him quick. After he's bitten you, it's too late."

Words to live by.

I chose to get the vaccine instead.

Man, I buy a lot of shirts off of here. Words can't describe how much I love this shirt. I bought two, and will save one for only the finest occasions, my wedding, funerals etc. Zombies and Squirrels on the same shirt, amazing.

Cool - I would have expected a parody of Don McLean's "Vincent."

Nah, if they were doing me favors, your snark wouldn't appear on my screen.

Zing!

My order will not go through!!! What the heck? Nothing has changed with my account and my cc is good.
HELP!!!

Same here. Been trying off and on for over an hour. I don't get it.

Love the shirt. Once I finally get the shirt I bought last week and make sure it fits properly, I'm gonna definitely be back for this one!

clever way of getting nuts though.

Delaware bought some, it's just so small, it's hard to notice the color change..........

Nice work once again Ramyb.

<--in for 1 shirt.

That's a quality response.

jimiyo wrote:I love it when the venerable R gets printed.

You, good sir, win one internets for that beautiful troll.

I was bitten by a rabid kitten last year and went through the series of rabies shots. I threatend to bite anyone you hassled me before my shots were finished! I need this shirt!!

I went with overnight shipping option. Did not realize overnight option was FedEx. I used my PO Box. Know it will cause a problem because FedEx does not deliver to PO Boxes. What can I do to change shipping address?

I personally loved the write-up and don't think it was really digging into RamyB at all.

I doubt RamyB had the intentions of what the write up came up with, but I love that description/interpretation.

RamyB is the rabid squirrel who no one wants to talk to or like. The two other squirrels really don't like him and are scared and getting out of here. These squirrels are the consistent RamyB haters in the forums. RamyB is just trying to tell them, really, I'm not that bad. I just keep the same style because people really like it. They don't want to hear it, and throw their nut(conspiracy theories) at him.

The squirrel in the background is on the fence. He's a casual observer of the forums, doesn't voice his opinion either way, votes sometimes, dislikes designs other times, and likes to view from afar.

With this interpretation I love the shirt! I knew this one would print, just thought it would be yesterday.

so someone realized that woot voters love cuteness and zombies. Then he/she made a design containing both. [sarcasm]Wow what a genius![sarcasm]

The shirts on this site... they're pretty nifty. But it's the Ramy saga that keeps me coming back for more. Which side will get a zingy comment in next? I'm just all tingly with anticipation.
