Shirt.Woot

Wasn't there this one shirt that was just a blank green tee? Surely that would be the worst-selling shirt of all time.

Green Space sold more than Skate Town as well. It sold: 182.

It's BANNED BOOKS WEEK and I was hoping the BOOK SHIRTS would get some more love.

Good point! Wish I could help out, but I already have my Reading Rocket Ship (which is soooo cool, btw), and I don't think I can afford to go for the illiterate rainbow right now

On a related note, it looks like September 2011 will go down in my personal history as the month I spent my entire clothing budget on woot shirts. I've made 7 woot.shirt purchases in total; 6 of those were this month. Three were in the past week alone (!!). Obviously I'm not (yet) to the point of needing separate furniture to store them, but let me know if you guys start up that support group...

On another note, shirt.woot's 4th birthday shirt is still available. Along with a shirt that proves wooters will buy anything, the random shirt shirt.

Of course after you dye the question mark green and get a bowler hat you have a riddler costume. I'd say that makes it better than the blow-up image of some basketball player.

Sunday night ... 12 hours to go ...

The only additional movement I foresee is A Laundry Day and I'm Just Doing My Job moving up another spot or two. Short of a serious buying spree, the rest are pretty much set where they are.

To be honest, we probably should; we're only like 20 miles apart. Granted, this is SoCal ... last Friday after work, it only took 50 minutes to get from Montebello to the Trader Joe's in Whitter - a distance of 9 miles. Call me glutton for punishment, but my wagon is stick shift too.

I do consider people who drive stick gluttons for punishment, but I admire the secret stick shift pride you all have (more secret in some cases than others). As for the support group, alas, I guess I'm out of the loop... Boston is about as far as you can get from there and still be in the mainland US!

(Yep, you heard that right: I'm not on Pacific Time. I'm just a CRAZY night owl.)

MT is the only way to drive. Unless we are talking about high performance race transmissions, AT is too slow and laggy.

I'm pretty discriminate in my shirt purchase, so no support group needed for me.

The suspense is killing me! I always thought Skatetown was it...

I have no idea whether it will make a difference or not, but I just bought a copy of the Illiterate Rainbow.

I grew up on Reading Rainbow, and I still remember the theme song. Pathetic, isn't it?

Unless you bought __ dozen of them, your one purchase won't make a difference (for safety).

It'll kill a little longer ... I'm tallying up other low sellers too. So wait for tonight, 'k?

There are certainly a large number of grey shirts on this upcoming reckoning with the three winners from Hipster Animals.

I think I can wait if more stats and numbers are forthcoming!

Inclusive of what Xijar and MJ has from this thread, I'm currently up to 68 designs and counting ...

Butterfly in the sky ... and Wootbot must be high ... because this is what I'm imagining it doing right now instead of posting the weekly wrap up. So yeah, you have until midnight tonight (well, a few minutes before to be exact) to buy any of the following:

...Well it sure looks like the household chore shirts cleaned up.

That's my Trader Joe's and I pass it going to and from work Isn't there a closer one on your side of the hill?

Yeah, Chino Hills. But since I was already on that side of town, and the 60-freeway (aka a parking lot) is equally horrible on Friday afternoons, I went down Whittier instead.

Back to something more on topic ... these are my (calculated) predictions for #216 tonight:

1. Kitchen Warfare
2. Cell Division
3. The Binge
4. Questionable Table of Elements
5. Boba Fetch
6. Acquired Taste
7. Nevermore
8. Haunted Housework
9. It Came Out Of Nowhere
10. Super Effective
11. Luke
12. Morning Powerup
13. Couldn't Care Less Bear
14. The Three Classical States of Matter
15. Unstealthiest Ninja
16. Four Classmates
17. Identity Code
18. Reading Rocket Ship
19. Laundry Day
20. The Cheese is a Liederkranz
21. Teacher Talks Funny
22. I’m Just Doing My Job
23. The Last Pillow Warriors
24. Ironic Bunny
25. The Right to Remain Awesome
26. United Tastes of America
27. QR Composition

Low sellers (sub-500) list ... 82 (and still counting) right now.

As for how many dozen sales 21st needed ... two. With last night's numbers, I calculated that it was 24 sales shy to safety.

I rarely take the freeway for short trips. Worst parking lot to get into and out of at the Trader Joe's. 2 dozen shirts - so Illiterate Rainbow didn't stand a chance
