There was almost a Robbie, but schedules clashed and he missed his flight for the collab. We have him booked for the next one!

Great fun working with my talented friends on this. I can't believe we pulled it off in 24 hours! Meooow!

"Good day."

Ha ha ha, Google is your friend: http://www.petdiapers.com/. =D They don't fit every cat though. My friends have a cat that sprays so I already knew these existed.

Or simply tackle, put it on them, and press to insure there are no formal complaints ;-)

um...how about tie it around their mouth as a gag? Sheesh people, think outside the shirt box.

It creates special waves of an alternate comfort type to the preferable type that comfort implies.

With the hustle and bustle of society today who has the time to make the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Nobody, that’s who! How is society to continue without PB&J? How can we hold our heads high if we are nutritionally challenged? We simply can’t; and shouldn’t! So, to answer this cataclysmic world crisis ACME has pioneered the Toaster-Bot! Our team of engineered have created a mechanical wonder of modern technology that is guaranteed to make the perfect PB&J every time, and best of all you’ll never have to worry about sticky fingers again! Well, until you eat it anyway.

This is one of my favorites!

good sir i think you are correct..

Re: iRock

Nice design. I like the work you put into the rock. However, I think it would do better as a gray rock.

Here's another one just for snicks.

Re: The Disco Extinguisher

Re: Professor Flufflebottom's Cat Stache Trimmer

a lot of fun!

Re: The Short 'n Curl-eze

Isn't this the same humor that is used in the EEK A GHOST! trimmer shirt in the fog?

Awwww snap!

I know the feeling. :^)

We're casualties of the digital age. Maybe not as messed up as the Youtube baby who thinks a magazine is a broken iPad, but computers have done funny things to our brains.

Good shirt, Artgirl929.

There is nothing on the shirt that indicates these are made for owls. This is just another animals doing people things / using things people use. Which is classic woot, but you didn't invent anything. Only your comments on this thread make the case for it being on theme.

If you let the design stand alone, it does not meet the criteria for being on theme.

I would not expect that anything made for a human would fit an owl.

chennai8 wrote:Per your theory, I should die to know the directions to Cemetery.I should get elected to make decisions on which candidate to vote. Also everyone who writes reviews of movies should make blockbusters to qualify to review.

I'm not saying anything bad about the design. It's off theme, then again, it's up to Woot. If there should not be any comments, there won't be a comment section ... that's all.

You sure are sensitive about my comment. Considering that you such a supporter of comments and free speech. I guess that you are right. Simply because a comments section exists, automatically entitles you to make comments. Please bear in mind that when you are free to express your opinion, I am free to express mine. I found this shirt funny, on theme and would buy it if it prints. Thats all.

Re: Useful Gadget - Resub

I like the concept but the gadgets need to be Batman's Gadgets. the Batterang and the grapple gun. Only in Frank Miller's super crazy batman dose the Bats go that commando.

Re: Dad's Electronic Eye

Um, shouldn't that word be imminent instead of eminent?

Re: Useful Gadget - Resub

This is a terrible idea, as stated above, Batman is very very very anti-gun and lethal force. He would never use such a device. Having his symbol on it is sure to enrage Batman fans!

This is where knowing the difference between an anthropomorphic world and real life would come in handy.

Unbelieva-bull.

Isn't "tentou" used for light, not sound? サウンドを点灯 feels off to me.

I also worry that とてもかわいいと決して火傷 translates to "Definitely scalds if very cute." Shouldn't it be more like とてもかわいくて決して火傷しない? Or am I reading it completely wrong (which is quite possible)?

greenlightgo722 wrote:Pretty sure removing the text doesnt make it any less offensive from the first time it got rejected -- Most likely going to have a second rejection here. Woot is fairly strict on "offensive" to size/race/etc/etc.

I disagree that it is offensive. Think of it as those Dove commercials that use normal people instead of waifishly thin models. Maybe the text should read, "Dunk shoes - now for the normal every day baller".

Re: Face To Face

It's good to hear different points of view, but it's difficult to make everyone happy. I'll keep in mind every critique and comment for my next entries.

That said, I want to thank everyone that has voted so far and helped my design make it to the Fog. This is the best birthday present

Re: This Shirt

I really think you should put another smaller shirt on the small shirt... because I think its funny XD

britmonster wrote:I really think you should put another smaller shirt on the small shirt... because I think its funny XD

That said, totally voting for this shirt!

I couldn't agree more. With the callout of the word CAT makes it stand out even more. Mine is just a suggestion.

Re: Catmops

This cracks me up. My sister's cat is "Mop Cat". She lays on the floor and purrs while we slide her back and forth across the floor.

Re: let's make a sandwich

Octotoaster! So cute. GMV.

Re: Fish Sweaters

Needs to win. :D

Re: Scuba Fish

For when you frequently forget to keep the fish tank full of water- something to help your fish survive the "dry season"

Re: Poke-o-Matic

But... Isn't there already a real life product already like this..?

Re: TrashBot 9000

Introducing the TrashBot 9000; the only thing he loves more than taking out the trash is you! Move over Mr. Lazy-I'm Watching The Game, I'll Get It On The Next Commercial- Pants; there's a brand new man of the house, and his name is TrashBot 9000!

Well, one design uses subtlety and innuendo, the other is blatant. I'll leave the rest as an exercise for the student.

Re: Suckbots

Straws... who needs 'em.

Thought this looked better without the text.

gardengnomes wrote:But... Isn't there already a real life product already like this..?

WHAT??!! Should've filed that patent...they're making cheap knock-offs already.

However, MY poke-o-matic is the only "All Natural" poker (yes the glove is natural too).

Re: 101 buttons

My remote actually looks like this, and every single individual button has an indispensable purpose that I could never live without.

Now, I'm no English major, but "your" is possessive, and I'm pretty sure this designer did not invent the "two cans attached by string" communication device.

You don't have to be an English major to read within context either. omarfeliciano did not claim to invent the cans and string any more than Thomas Edison claimed to have invented glass and light. No, Edison invented the LIGHT BULB, and omarfeliciano invented a new social networking METHOD.
