Shirt.Woot

It has a certain subliminal* charm...

*was going to amend to understated but too little sleep to resist

We all live in a grey submarine, a grey submarine, a grey submarine...

Whistles this jaunty tune all day long.

So far this is a Ca shirt

This definitely looks like it is supposed to be in outer space. And if it is, which appears to be the case, the propellers on the submarines wouldn't work. Because there's no air.

They look like they might crash. Also, do submarines use anchors?

Space Sharks are a terrifying idea.

I don't see anybody looking at this shirt and understanding it.

I was just wondering, if one needs to be a member of a very "special" club to understand this....

Wait-- do submarines actually have anchors? Genuine question, since I've never actually thought about it before. Don't make me take this to Yahoo Answers!

Why does the submarine have an anchor?

The shark is shooting at an octopus missing two legs... a hexapus...
Maybe it's this?

EDIT: on closer look, it's only missing one leg. A septapus.

Love those subs!

Clearly, I'm missing something here.

To finish the bio... We don't need no (more) water, let this submariner burn. Burn, submariner, burn.

Hmm... First time I loaded the page, the ad was for another t-shirt site and had a woman in a shirt with a bunch of subs, including that hippie yellow one ;) Second time I loaded it, another ad for the same site, this time with a shirt about pirates. This seems oddly specific. Should I be creeped out at the "Big Brother"-ness of the ads I'm getting? I swear, Mr. Orwell, I never meant to bring up the Boggy Old Creature... Quit watching me! Wait, what are you going to do with that cage of rats?

Yes, submarines have anchors. Even nuclear subs.

If I understood this shirt, I'm pretty sure I would like it.

Condition: October

So with SmartPost, this shirt won't arrive until October?!? 0_0

Explaining t-shirts to people sucks.
I have had to do it a couple times with woot shirts already. And then they usually are still not bright enough to get it, even after you have explained it.

Even nuclear wessles?

I'll be impressed if this breaks 200 sales...

I counted eight legs.

I just... Really really don't get this shirt. Like, seriously.

What's the joke here?

It doesn't have an anchor, it's tangled in an anchor. Might be it's own, but might not.

ApeLad wrote:"Then how come there's an Air in Space Museum?"

Because there's air in space. It's too sparse to use, but it's there.

Settle down and buy something already.

Well, the "wessle" referred to is an aircraft carrier, so yes.

CrystallineX wrote:[It's a] hexapus/septapus

No, all eight tentacles are there.

Congrats Rob, awesome work!

I also understand this shirt, but choose to make myself appear intellectually superior rather than even try to explain what in the H is going on in this image.

Submarines may or may not have anchors....but I'm pretty sure they don't shoot electricity from their periscopes.

Not everything is a joke, dude.

Surprisingly, not every shirt woot sells needs to be "ZOMG!, I PLAY THE VIDEO GAME (or watch this TV show) THAT THIS SHIRT REFERENCES! GOTTA HAVE IT SO MY BUDS WILL CHORTLE WHILE WE DO OUR LARP!!"



Subtlety is a good thing.

LOVE the design.

HATE that it's on black. FL FTL

At some point you have to give and admit that the design sucks, or is not appropriately universal enough for mass consumption.

From Alameda?


Okay, so I'd love it if someone would explain this shirt to me. I LOOOOOOOVE PONIES.

BaconWishmeyer wrote:Not everything is a joke, dude. Subtlety is a good thing.

Agreed. I have many beautiful shirts because I like them. And I'm building an extensive robot pirate space vampire shirt collection.

That said, other than being not-quite-steam-punk and odd, I don't get what the shirt is about. This isn't subtle. It's downright confusing.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Also, you have ketchup on your shirt just there, and that plant looks like it needs water.

Seem a little appropriate for a sub-themed shirt, no? Now if only it came in red...

Exactly.

Cute - but it's 101 degrees outside and you're selling a black shirt? You couldn't go as far as navy?

It's nice that the artist took some time out of his busy schedule as kicker for the Chicago Bears to create this shirt.
