Shirt.Woot

Prediction for the week ... first place will remain first, last place will remain last.

Well we lose a Princess Bride reference shirt for this reckoning and gain a Holy Grail one. Not completely comparable, but probably close enough.

Baseline numbers of the week. No major surprises ... yet.

Okay, let's see if I've learned anything from Master Narf. Even though BBQ has sold more than Red, it's been up one day longer, which makes its daily sale rate lower. Am I reading that correctly?

It also depends on how many shirts were sold on their first day (those aren't counted for the daily sale rate).

Narfcake wrote:Prediction for the week ... first place will remain first, last place will remain last.

Most definitely.

Since I fared well last week, I'll give it a go again.

1. The Binge will remain at #2. Black Knight will move up to #3.
2. Minor Modifications will finally fall.
3. Unstealthiest Ninja will survive another week, but will remain near the bottom.
4. Smarter than the Average Bear will claw its way out of the Danger Zone, but won't get far.
5. You Can't Catch Me will try but fail to escape the Danger Zone.

Bonus!
6. Heavy Metal will fail to break 500 sold.

Black Knight has some legs! I'm a Python fan, but not fanatical enought for the shirt. I hope you're wrong about Catch Me. Minor Modifications [I own one copy] keeps suprising me even with the RamyB fan base.

citizencoyote wrote:2. Minor Modifications will finally fall.

Let's hope so. As we know, it shouldn't have survived last week.

Adder did set one pony fan straight, though. Either that, or scared him (her) running away from Woot now.

And yay! - WootBot is on time this week.

Who's this now?

This.

Ah, thought you meant an artist.

... and now for something completely unrelated to this week's reckoning, I finally figured out the name to a woot.shirt that I found @ Goodwill. Offensive Robot. A bad brain, a good heart, and an offensive stub down low.

Which begs the question ... who was the one that decided the design was worthy on beta woot.shirt?! I mean, my Foamy Undermines Conventional Knowledge shirt, complete with the acronym, is more wearable in public than this!

Aww, it doesn't show an image in the post. (hint hint)

Smarter Than The Average Bear just crawled into the mailbox and I'm happy to report that all of the math is readable, not that that will please the lady buyers who'll have to put up with guys [or gals] trying to read the fine print.

Did that print BEFORE the official launch of Shirt.Woot?

By the date on the discussion thread, apparently so. And this post refers it as a beta. And it's not on shirtwhat.

About the unwearable aspect ... that's just personal opinion. The print's isn't in too great of shape, and there's definite wash wear (dryer dried), so whoever had it before it was donated definitely wore it. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Good! I checked Shirt.What? and couldn't find it - I was ready to write it off to early senility or failure of my new computer glasses

I got to pimp out shirt.woot for the first time today! I was wearing my Killer Penguin shirt (awesome) and the cashier at the deli I had dinner at complimented my shirt on how cool it was, and asked where I got it from! I told him I got it from shirt.woot, but didn't have the heart to tell him it got reckoned last week.

One day, and those in the danger zone are destined to stay there if they don't pick up the pace, what with 18-20 putting up some decent sales figures already.

I love pimping out shirt.woot! I walked into a Barnes & Noble/Starbucks coffee shop a month ago while wearing Tea! and all the baristas wanted to know where I got it. Too bad it was reckoned long ago.

Mention that one of the features of Woot is exclusivity - unlike THIS, Woot shirts eventually go away [Nevermore and The Binge excepted].

My ex-husbands office all wore that shirt to their company Christmas party.

Scary.

Don't forget 'It Came Out of Nowhere'!

I do expect to see Nevermore cross the 40k mark before the end of this month.

Now deciding on what Woots to wear in Alaska. Smarter Tha The Average Bear will go for the day in Juneau when we go to watch the bears eat salmon. Other than that, I have yet to decide.

Do you have Gone Fishing?

Numbers! And if there's another shirt that's bound to have some longevity, it's Acquired Taste. Its sales numbers so far puts it on track to move up another notch or two before this reckoning's end.

The only one I have from that derby is Sixty Six Degrees North, which will probably be going.

I got that shirt as a random and gave it to my girlfriend. That is the beauty of the random shirts. You may receive something reckoned...or you might get something you already paid for like I did.

It's a good print, too. A friend of mine has it and it turned out excellent.

Hooray, I always like to hear when my arctic circle tee goes 'home'. :D

I wonder if Minor Modifications will get a bump from the current Target commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glquKfXhLFo) where the 2nd grade teacher performs a "minor modification" to the planet mobile...

Are you flying to Alaska? If so, you could wear TSAnta Claus while flying. I think I'm going to wear it when my family flies to South Korea in September. (Hopefully I won't get to experience "enhanced screening" as a result.)

Flying to Seattle and cruising up into Alaska. BTW, I'm talking my lovely wife and my wonderful mom, which oughta make up for all those testosterone-fueled stupid guy moments I've had over the last 52 years
