Shirt.Woot

Agreed, my first thought was "what about The Doctor" too.

This is just plain awesome! With friends that call me phoenix, how could I resist? :D

I was wondering the same thing.

Then "Who" should be on first?

hmmm...if we're waxing philosophical here, then the zombie has only one life really, two deaths, but one life.

Have all the contestants been tested for performance enhancing drugs.

Wow. This pun is quite the stretch. How long would someone have to stare at my chest to get this?

I originally saw this shirt as homage to all the shirts that don't get reckoned, and I wondered why the raven was glowing.

Only problem I had is I thought the Phoenix was some sort of Pokemon and couldn't figure out which one had infinite lives.

I know its a different artist, but I think it would have been funnier if the zombie was eating a PBJ.

Ahhhhhh.... best shirt in a while for Woot.

This would have been an auto-buy for my son at $10. Three of his favourite things on one shirt!

At $12 for a kids shirt I'm torn- $10 was already way more than I normally spend for his shirts... may pass- but great shirt none-the-less.



Regarding the Doctor- do we know he is limited to 12 lives? I don't think it has ever been said there is a limit.

I really like the coloring on this shirt... but it bothers me that you can have "final totals" along with the infinity symbol.

I like the effect of the glow from the phoenix on the other 2 characters.

A phoenix has been a part of my screen name ever since I've been on the internet...a phoenix is on my skin as a tattoo...now a phoenix will be on my body as a shirt!!

I love it and am in for one!

I don't get the whole "zombie" thing the last few years. I really don't.

I don't know why, but I thought that the final totals under each was the number of shirts made with that creature on it. I was all like, "I know there are way more than two zombie shirts in the world (there's a ton on Woot alone)," but then I was all, "oooooooooooooooh....I get it!"

I'm slow. D;

Am I the only one who thought that third place should be James Bond? You know, "You Only Live Twice." Anyone?

I would have gone with Gandalf the White, since he actually died and came back, while Bond just faked his death.

forgive my ignorance, I only pay attention when I want to actually buy something.... but when did the shirt price jump to $12??

Time Lords may not be limited to 13 lives. (or may still be)

From the Wiki:

The BBC's Series 4 FAQ suggests that now the Time Lord social order has been destroyed, the Doctor may be able to circumvent the limit on regenerations; it says: "Now that his people are gone, who knows? Time Lords used to have 13 lives." In Death of the Doctor (a 2010 The Sarah Jane Adventures serial), the Eleventh Doctor responds to a question from Clyde Langer by saying he can regenerate "507" times. Early news reports, before the episode was broadcast, suggested he would say there is no limit to the number of regenerations. Writer Russell T Davies explained in an interview with SFX that the line was not intended to be taken seriously and is instead a commentary. He insisted that the "thirteen lives" rule was too deeply entrenched in the viewer consciousness for his throwaway line to affect it.

Actually, the Doctor pales in comparison to The MASTER. He's regenerated all 12 times and has figured out how to come back (at least) four more times, totaling 17 lives (that we know of).


How's THAT for 'nerding out'?

Wow, it seems as if I buy everything ramyb is involved in, without even knowing it first.

In for one, of course

This way to that thing!

As Shane pointed out in The Walking Dead, a zombie can "survive" a wound, such as a bullet to the heart, that would kill a normal person. So you could fire 10 bullets into a zombie that would kill a person, yet the zombie would still keep walking.

Ok, gotta step in and defend. This is counting resurections. Not "How many times can you cheat death." Hahaha. So just because a Zombie doesn't die when you shoot him in the heart, the head, the BUTT, doesn't count as another life! He has to DIE then get back up for it to count. You understand? You quible for nothing my dear sir.

The Doctor should DEFFINATELY have been on there. But I dig zombies too, so it's ok.

Weren't woot shirts $10 in the not-so-distant past?

Ooooo. Sowwy. Nerdy edge abliterated. It's like you were never a nerd at all. Come back!!!

Incorrect shirt is incorrect, zombies place 4th with 2, cats in 3rd with 9, and in 2nd place is.. the Doctor with 12! (yes 12 not 11 [spoilers]remember season 4 the 10th doc regenerates as the 10th doc again using his cut off hand[/spoilers}
edit: dang beaten too it too

Yes =/ this post explains the increase..

Captain Jack Harkness beats both the cat and zombie.

As much as I love doctor who (big time fan here, Old & New), I'm glad that the Doctor isn't on the shirt. (I can't believe I said that, considering the vast amounts of Doctor Who on my walls and T-shirts and computer). I'm glad that they stuck to this theme. Throwing in the Doctor would have made me wonder why the pheonix was mushed in there.

I could have understood the Doctor and the cat, what with his love of cats expressed in many episodes.
The ninth Doctor in "The Empty Child" picks up and talks to a cat.
The tenth Doctor shows his appreciation for some kittens in the episode "Gridlock", (We'll just ignore the fact he said he wasn't a cat person in "Fear Her", men do that 'tough guy thing')
Not to mention that the eleventh Doctor spoke to a cat in "The Lodger" to get more information about what was going on in the house! And don't get me started on the Old stuff, there's so much cat stuff there too!

Now the sad thing? I remembered all of the instances that he had encounters with cats and had only to look up episode names.

So yes, I love Doctor Who, but am glad that he did not make an appearance on this shirt. Though reading the discussion about it all, was very enlightening.

And technically he and the Phoenix would tie!

Nope. Technically, Captain Harkness can't die (until millions of years later). He only has one life, one consciousness.

The master still wins. Mwa hahaha!

It would be amusing to have Dr. Who on the shirt, one could argue. But a character from one, stand-alone series in time is not on the same cultural level as a cat, phoenix and zombie (at least in terms of # of lives). The vast majority know about these three having more than one life. I would argue A LOT of that audience would be lost with adding Dr. Who. That might make the shirt more fun and unique to some but I actually like the simplicity of using more universal characters.

My two cents.

Also, I have to agree with nayjd on the # of lives issue. Zombies come back to life once and you can kill them. It shouldn't matter what will/will not "take them out."

...and dead last, the woot customer with zero life.

Woah, when did woot shirts go up to $12 apeice? BLAST THIS ECONOMY, I WANT MY $10 SHIRTS!

I feel the exact same way. Loved this shirt until I got over to the zombie and thought 'oh geeze, not another zombie'.

You know who could tie the phoenix? Super Mario bouncing continuously bouncing on a turtle shell against a rock.

has to do with overpopulation and primate fear i guess.

on this shirt, it's a good joke though

is it just me or does the zombie look way too similar to the zombie in the other reckoning shirt (Acquired Taste) here:

Zombie gets two lives, cats get 9, phoenix gets infinite.
