Shirt.Woot

The yellow one doesn't have to be so smug about it. It doesn't matter though, The blue guy is following that whole ignorance is bliss deal.

I hate trivial pursuit anyways. Keep doin' what you're doin' blue guy.

I don't know what game this is, but the shirt is awesome!

Instant buy. Awesome job you guys! :D This was a must have for me, as this is very much my husband and I when we play Trivial Pursuit. Yeah....he likes pie. <3

One has Pi with a full glass of milk, and the other has pie but feels something is missing...

Aw, frick. Royal blue's gone to Anvil. I was looking forward to buying this one so much...

The original trivia was grammar, rhetoric and logic.

I have a hard time believing that the piece on the left earned the pink (Entertainment) wedge all on its own...

...because it's the two of them together that are entertaining!

I've never played Trivial Pursuit (bad Canadian!). I recognize the yellow thingy as being part of it somehow, but I'm not sure how the blue lemon juicer is related.

ETA: This just in, I MAY BE AN ID10T. Never mind. *facepalm*

I was so excited to see this pop up on twitter that I ordered it without checking. *head slap* "First wooter" and I had to email woot to cancel my order. Argh. Also, embarrassed.

Does this count as the third in the board game trilogy?

If kevlar51 & walmazan died in the 60's.... how did they enter this derby?

I wish the smart one had said pi over 3.

I believe this is the third Walmazan and Kevlar board game collab to print, but it's actually the fourth one was an unprinted (but totally should have been) Risk inspired collab.

In anycase:

Part Kevlar, Part Walmazan, entirely awesome!

Congrats guys.

Mmm... Pi(e). As a Math Major I want to get this shirt, but as a College Student, I can't afford it. Such a dilemma.

Yesssssss!


Fun trivial fact: I've never actually played Trivial Pursuit, though my family did have it when I was a kid, along with a sports expansion pack. For some reason I still have that box of sports cards.

Very cute, but I've loathed that game since I was a child.

Awesome! Congrats on the win guys. I stink at this game so I guess I'd rather have some pie a la mode while I wear this shirt. :D

I think they did a terrible job on the color name.

"We call this color: To Her Majesty’s Royal Navy"

They have shirts in Royal Blue and others in Navy. Seems like a bad idea to hint at both colors in the color description when it's only in Royal.

Those eyes, always n's and u's

It's taco time!!! Added this shirt to my Wences/Kevin collection.

Time to add another kevlar/wlamazan board game shirt to the collection. I demand a Ukraine is Strong print!

I'm not sure about the bowl placement for the ladies,they seem too high.

Yay! Congrats Kevin! and thanks so much everyone for all your support!

Reminds me of playing the game at college, when the game was brand new. Or rather not really playing the game. Fellow student Mr. Filpus, was a few months away from becoming Dr. Filpus, PhD in chemistry.

Mr. Filpus went first. Mr. Filpus lucked out, and got an easy entertainment question. Mr Filpus had nothing to fear from any other category but sports. His sports question was about golf, so he guessed Arnold Palmer. There just weren't that many famous golf players three decades ago. He bopped around the board answering science questions with ease, until he rolled right so he could get to the center to claim his rightful price.

It wasn't that the other players didn't know trivia. They never got to play. He won on his very first turn.

so sad...i want this, but due to the anvil switch i wouldn't be able to wear it.

Congratulations!
For the below referenced post, you get the award for "deductive reasoning sufficiently advanced as to be indistinguishable from magic".

Sales of "Formula for Success" remain quite high and I'm guessing that any "core" shirt-wooter who cares about buying it on AA has already done so. Kevlar/walmazan collabs have always sold well in women's sizes, so it would be logical to reserve the remaining royal blue AA blanks for an initial run of "Trivial Matters."

Also big congrats to KevMazan for the print.

Thanks a lot everyone! And thanks to Wences for another fun collab!

@woot: "Don’t wear this shirt: around people who do not understand homonyms"

Although Merriam-Webster seems to accept homonym as a synonym of homophone, I would have said, "Don’t wear this shirt: around people who do not understand homophones."

Homonym literally means "same name" (same spelling), like "bass" (the instrument) and "bass" (the fish). Homophone literally means "same sound", like "bass" (the instrument) and "base".

It's unfortunate that M-W does accept homonym as a synonym for homophone, as not doing so would have opened Woot up to a snarky "Like you?" comeback. :D

And, if you couldn't tell, I'm the game piece on the left.

Exactly why I didn't hesitate to buy this. Anvil WL fits me really well and actually accommodates my bazooms. My Formula shirt in AA WXL has yet to be worn because frankly, most days I'm not into shirt-administered mammograms. I wish I could swap it.

Thanks, shirt.woot, for having shirts I can actually wear now, not just on "compression bra" days.

(If you need a WXS, have you tried running a WS through the dryer? These shrink like crazy. Or, try a kids size. I have a friend who wears K8. She likes the shorter length, as well.)

Everything's too high for me. Thank you!

Homonym literally means "same name" (same spelling), like "bass" (the instrument) and "bass" (the fish). Homophone literally means "same sound", like "bass" (the instrument) and "base".

Homonym does literally mean "same name," but that does not primarily refer to the spelling. The term comes from analyses of spoken language, where the sounds are what matter. The term for words that are spelled the same way is "homograph."

A secondary definition of "homonym" is "a word that is both a homograph and a homophone," but its primary definition is synonymous with "homophone." (It is less commonly, but still legitimately, used to mean "homograph." It is a flexible term. The other two are the specific ones.) You could look it up, and not only in Merriam-Webster's.

(I checked more than half a dozen dictionaries—the oldest printed in 1854; the youngest, in 2011—but then I do this sort of thing for fun.)

Guess again.

First off - I love the shirt.

However, I know for a fact there is a sports category in that game...

So torn in this one.

On one hand, I love Trivial Pursuit.
On the other, I suck at math.
On the other hand (look at all these hands I have!), I am a teacher and love puns/wordplay.
On the other hand, I teach English, not math, so this would make me feel like an imposter.
At the same time, on different hands, I play Trivial Pursuit with my students when we have extra time after a test...


It is so cute, though! Also, I like pie. Mmmmm. Piiiiiie.

why so many "cute" shirts on woot? recently a lot of shirts on woot aren't even clever or artistic, it's just smiley faces on animals/planets/objects.

Ummm ... because this is Woot?

"It's taken some of us longer than others to reconcile the fact that we're a site that sells cutesy, jokey shirts about rabbits and penguins. It might not be what we set out to achieve in this life, but it's our niche and we like to think we fill it adequately." - April 29, 2012

Congrats kevlar51 and walmazan! Great work!

Congrats to the dynamic duo. :^)

Should have given the empty piece crooked eyes.

congrats kevlar and walmazan!

the true champion. BOUGHT!
