For what it's worth, Jumpman was a carpenter in the original Donkey Kong. Not that it really matters, since your design doesn't show Mario being a plumber.

Re: 1982 - Sayonara Samurai Chef

On March 5, 1982 the lovable John Belushi was found dead, forever robbing the world of his comedic genius. Among the many lovable characters he created was Saturday Night Live's "Samurai Chef."

Re: 1982

This is SO good! Well done! You have my vote

Re: 1971-Floppy Diskette

Best year ever! Certainly deserves this awesome shirt. +1 from another 1971 baby.

Hmm, well woot has had shirts go through a derby and a double take without rejecting them that we're parodies of the apple logo before like this Spiritgreen one. Also that Coexist shirt had a long run on woot.

But yeah I wouldn't really be shocked if this got the axe either.

Re: 1988: Return to Flight

If I were an employee at NASA or an Astronaut, this would be a MUST! Since I am neither, I must still say this is beautiful but, as many shirts in this derby, is unwearable...sigh...

Re: 1986 My Little Gaga

Oh god I'm the same age as her?? Lol :p

Re: 1973 The Death of Mister Berry

I'm sorry pseudomega. I'm afraid I can't answer that.

Re: 1985: Year of the Plumber

The teeth on the wrenches are absolutely wonderful. Looks just like the pirhanna plant, but without copyright violation.

Re: 1981

great year! GMV

(not to be a stickler or anything, but the original prompt read "A>"...just pointing that for those who didn't know, as most, understandably, only recall the "C:\")

Re: 1974: Lucy Discovered

This design is fantastic! I really love the idea!

Re: 1977

Reject is a coming, but funny

Re: 1986: An ASCII Odyessy

Yes please.

Hal is one of the best villains in any movie. Period.

Re: 1977 - Dark Side

I cannot stand shirts with dots, like the stars are in this, on them.

It looks so bad having the dots there and then having the dots just end.

The applestar I don't have a problem with, good job on that, but because of the stars this will be a no for me.

Oh also a no for me because Apple.

Re: 1988: Return to Flight

You did a really nice job on this but I'm seeing something that will get it rejected. Your using inverse halftones of the shirt color to provide shading to the piece.

Doing that cases the ink printed between those negative dots to be too thin/small and will not print well especially since it looks like you used it so extensively.

If you did all the cloud work yourself too without a photo then that is really nice too Good job but don't be surprised if it gets rejected

Re: 1979 hot new release

well its seems that much didnt happen in my birth year. did find out that asteroids came out then however and it was a game i played alot later on my atari 5200.

Re: 1989: It's a Boy

OH GOD I WANT THIS SHIRT SO BAD!!!!

Re: 1987

Seeing this shirt gave me many warm and happy feelings inside ^____^

Re: 1986

There haven't been too many shirts on woot I would actually wear and be proud of. This shirt I would wear every moment of every day!!!!

Re: 1957

Re: 1977

Re: 1986: An ASCII Odyessy

I want one now! Send me your hi-res graphic! No really, it's awesome. And I really do want to make my own now....

Re: 1971-Floppy Diskette

Not to be a bummer, but those disks were in fact read and write. (1967 here)

Great resub! The date looks really good now and I also love the other little additions. GMV! ^^

Re: 1992

On April 6, 1992, The world lost one of its most prolific writers. This design is in tribute to Isaac Asimov, who died the year I was born. His head and arms are formed by quotes by Asimov. Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated, but go easy on me as this is my first derby entry.

Actually the IBM 23FD That was introduced in 1971 was read only. Disks were introduced to the public after this version were also read and write. Look at the table here need the bottom of the page

Re: 1981

does anyone know where I can buy a time machine on the internet?

Thank you!

Re: 1982

Woot's first "Year You Were Born" derby printed a 1982 MJ design, if you didn't know.

Ah Hee Hee!

All well and lovely, but woot doesn't offer a bright yellow blank. The closest is lemon, which is more pastel.

Thanks for the support on this everyone!
