HOw do you pull your numbers? I spent 10 minutes last night clicking on each Full Stat link, writing down the number, closing the java pop-up... There's got to be a better way.

Seems like those hilarious email monkeys are in fact taking over woot's operations.....
I'm working on a spreadsheet that will caclulate the distance between two ranks as a number of shirt sales. IIRC (it's at home today) The difference between 27th and 20th is less than 50 shirts.

OUCH! my bad, it's 254 shirts behind 20th place at the moment.

Yeah, I'll be surprised if Lucky at Last survives the reckoning on 4/2.

Math Geek time.
Woot's DSR is Sales since Debut / Days between Debut and Monday or, if over a month on the list, Sales in 28 days / 28.
So Artistic Growth (27th) has 103 sales, and will be at 10.5 days when we reckon. This gives a DSR of 9.8
Code of Arms (21st) has 521 sales, and is at 28 days, so it has a DSR of 18.94.
So to calculate Artistic Growth beating Code of Arms, the easier is
18.95(winning DSR) = (103+X)(Sales)/10.5 (Days)
X = (18.95*10.5)-103 = ~96 shirts
That assumes code doesn't sell any more shirts though. Since Artistic Growth hasn't been around as long it's not 1:1 for addition sales, but it will need to sell 1 for every 2.6 Code of Arms sells.
Does that look correct?

Missed this one, or I'd have answered hours ago. Sorry about that.
By my count you're 4 shirts behind "We're more than Famous" and 12 Shirts behind "Force Equasion" but you need to sell 2:1 on "Force Equasion" since it hasn't hit 4 weeks yet.

There are many metropolitan areas in the US and abroad where, regardless of whether you are in school or not, it is damn near impossible to forget about St. Patrick's Day. (Take it from someone who's lived nearly her entire life in Boston, with brief stints in NYC and Dublin...) I, personally, love St. Patrick's Day, but I can imagine that the constant reminders could be unpleasant to someone less enthusiastic about the wearin' o' the green and the drinkin' o' the beer.
Admittedly, part of the reason I love St. Patrick's Day so much is that my father's cousin and her husband, who brew their own beer (and have a hops garden in their backyard!), always have a great St. Pat's party. It's a nice alternative to the bars with jacked-up covers and crowds of drunk students which, sadly, have become the main venue for St. Pat's celebrations.
The goodness of the true pun is in the direct ratio of its intolerability. - Edgar Allan Poe
Alas, poor shirt.woot. I knew it well...
