Shirt.Woot

Hey, hey, hey, there! Cut Guy some slack, man. You'd look like that too, if you were from Cali and pretty much ate yourself across the country for a living.

What? No mention of Alton Brown?

*Fun Fact: My older brother looks a heckuva lot like Guy Fieri.

If it has to do with food, or even the preperation of food, I hope and expect Walmazan to own this derby.

I'm keeping it simple: An assault rifle made out of kitchen utensils. Whaddya think?

Curse your no zombie rule.... I already had one done that would work perfectly!

oh well.

I foresee turtle soup.

My favorite kitchen appliance is the telephone - it's very handy for calling for pizza delivery.

I prefer my laptop with online ordering. I hate talking to anyone.

If it's a penguin, eating rabbit stew that's been prepared and served in a turtle shell--then I'm sold. But it must have this trifecta for it to garner my vote.

This should be interesting and it's a lot more open then the Cooking derby they had when I first started entering the derbies. Looking forward to some tasty shirts. I have an old idea I might rework.

One More Gimlet, I have GOT to think of an idea riffing on Nadia G. There must be something there - she's a walking cartoon!

Like the map derby wasn't painful enough, now my hopes are raised for kitchen themed shirts.

At least this time I'm expecting them to be dashed. Grated. Ground. Burned.

Sigh.

I'm super excited about this! So...many..ideas...head is... EXPLODING!

Misogyny is off the table, but not misandry! Abuse those men in the kitchen!

Toast failures
Popcorn fires
Barbeques on electric ovens

Let's be serious though, I expect a lot of anthropomorphic knives doing dangerous stuff.

Oh I can't wait to see what a turtle making a soup in his own shell looks like! Ramby ftw

I hope there aren't a bunch of "men as failures in the kitchen" shirts. Personally, a steady "diet" of Good Eats and Bobby Flay shows have given me the inspiration and wherewithal to do so well at cooking that I do 90% of the cooking in our household.

Edit: Now that I think of it a bit more, wouldn't saying that men fail in the kitchen be tant amount to saying that only women can cook, and therefore fall under the "No misogeny" rule?

Just where does the line begin and end when it comes to kitchen fail? I mean, I get that you don't want it to seem like a woman's place is in the kitchen, but are women allowed to cook at all in these designs?

I'm a little confused. In a recent derby, you (rightfully) rejected a submission and said "avoid size humor." Now you're saying it IS OK to make fat jokes? Or just fat jokes at the expense of a celebrity? Please clarify. Thanks. --

Come now, it needs more details than that!

You forgot the (Mario) mushrooms. And served with a side of coffee.

Cool theme. It's wide open!

Hey, and it finally gives me the opportunity for my Fantastic For-agers idea.

(mwa ha ha)

I suspect that having a woman in a kitchen will be fine unless there's something indicating she can't do anything more than cook. The difference between having a man burning toast versus having a man burning toast while a woman looks on with obvious superiority. Or a woman, barefoot and pregnant over a pot of boiling water.

Ah, now that makes sense to me. No smug superiority and all will be well...

...and I must still be half asleep. I read that last line about a pregnant woman standing a pot of boiling water and got a very "Modest-Proposal-eat-the-baby" vibe.

*Reaches for more soda*

Nice theme. Looking forward to some good entries.

In the professional world, men generally rule the kitchen. That whole "men can't cook" thing is just a stupid spin-off of the "women belong in the kitchen" thing.

I have one funny idea...and one idea I think would be awesome. the funny idea is a sculpture of Paula Dean made out of butter...we call her the queen of butter in my house...I could make the sculpture (if I had a ton of butter) but I dont think I could make it on a shirt...my awesome idea is based on a saying my Dad always had
"Apple Pie without the cheese is like a hug without the squeeze"
a simple design of a slice of pie with a slice of sharp white cheddar on top and a couple apples next to it surrounded by the saying...however again I dont think I could do this justice without any halftones...so if anyone would be willing to help me it would be wonderful!

Silly.

Everyone knows boiling isn't an appropriate cooking method.

Augh! I see you quoting me and I can't help but notice the glaring spelling error that I made. I guess the soda pop is starting to kick in.

The entire house here adores harvesting combinein Kitchen! We've got the new season opener on our DVR for tonights entertainment. Nadia G is one of the influences on my 15 year old daughter concerning her career path as a chef.

Here's mine ;)

Wolfgang Puck was the only...?
What?!
What about Julia Child? Paul Prudhomme? Justin Wilson?

I'm thinking to do the Legion of Super-Foods. The "high-health" foods, blueberries, avacado, dark cocoa, etc, dressed in comic book attire and looking super....

I know you're just joking, but in light of Diana's design being stolen recently, it's not a good joke.

I hope someone reported that shirt using the Report This Work: Inappropriate Content or Copyright Infringement buttons at the bottom of the red bubble page.

I'd be in for a design featuring Ann Burrell made out of salt.

^ More better.

Don't get me wrong - I'm a Nadia fan. She may be off-the-wall, but that harvesting combine can cook.

Does anyone feel like, based on the last few derbies, "No Link" should be the new corollary to "No Mario"? I know there's not a Mario rule this time around, but I was thinking about it while the last derby was live and wondering if anyone else noticed how common those designs have become...

Celeb likenesses gets axed.

And yes that pie one sounds good, but check cause there are lots of pie designs floating round the internet.

How about just "No video games.", which they've done before?

paigeg wrote:I'd be in for a design featuring Ann Burrell made out of salt.

LOL I was just thinking of that too...have a trio of busts....Paula out of butter, Ann out of salt, and Bobby out of steak! I could try to draw it up....but as I said I'd do better actually trying to make the sculptures than draw them...feel free to give it a shot if you want!
