Maybe i am stupid but can you explain your shirt. I think there is some deeper meaning.

Well there is always next year....

Of course, you could always interpret it as a statement concerning polygamy. ;)

Thanks. By the way, what does GMV stand for? My guess is "good move."

Re: Less Than Three?


This is really clever. I'd love to see it win, and would definitely buy it if it does. Unfortunately, you'd have to put an animal or a cartoon on it for it to even place. It's much too wearable to win. You should resubmit it on a heather grey shirt, and make it look like a cat, then you'd fog by morning. Good luck though. GMV.

*giggles*, thanks! I know your suggestion about the cat was a joke, but I'm very tempted to do it. But I'm actually an engineering student and I have quite a few projects due in the coming week. I spent too much time on this design anyway - I'm a Photoshop fanatic but I focus on web design, and I'm an amateur anyway (meaning I've never taken any real classes or worked professionally). I'm pretty poor with the pen tool, and I'm not the most talented artist.

I'd like to say that there are some pretty amazing designs out there though. I particularly like "Going Bananas". Cho's pi and cow are also cool, but that may be the engineer and the meat-eater in me, respectively - unless pi qualifies as meat? Does it?

Ha. That was my first interpretation, actually. But the intended interpretation is a lot more clever, and makes a lot more sense :P

Slightly off topic, but - does anybody have a list of all the words that are filtered? I'm afraid of making unintended internet noises again. =P

Woot doesn't allow people to post any kind of list.
There are 2 things you can do. FIrst, preview your post. ( or hit reply on other posts to see what was changed).
The other is thing of things that get posted over and over that drive the woot guys crazy. For instance, over at woot.com, they get a lot of people at midnight who like to post f-i-r-s-t p-a-g-e, so there's a filter for that.
Well, there is a 3rd option: just hyphenate e-v-e-r-y w-o-r-d y-o-u t-y-p-e. L-O-L.

The secondary reason I would have liked to see the list was for the laughs. =P

Thanks! I'm in the top 20, so I still have some hope, I think. Not bad for my first-ever attempt. I need to learn to use the pen tool better though.

I like this shirt it GMV, but is the question mark there just to help the shape? or does it mean something more?

hope you win

I love it! There's a lot of good shirts in this derby, it's hard to choose. I also voted for the pi shirt =).

You got my vote. I hope you win.

It can mean whatever you want it to mean. Maybe you like someone but don't know if it's love. Maybe you love someone, but don't know if they feel the same way. Maybe you just want to know what love is.

Design wise, the question mark isn't needed to help with the shape - the phrase is a heart all by itself. But then it would have all been one colour as well - needed an extra kick. ;)

Thanks! I can't believe that the pi pie left the fog. This week's fog is quite dark, and at this moment, all of them are ascii style. I'd like to see some of the pieces that had more work put into them get up top - things like "Going Bananas."

that wuz teh funneh.. you sound like me.. im a math student and spent way too much time on my entry this week too... congrats on doing so well.. Your artistic talents are better than mine obviously.. Ive been doing this for over a month and haven't gotten more than like 25 pts.. o well. it is fun and maybe one week i will be crunched for time and crap out a masterpiece like "grow" that will get printed... we will see i guess

Yep, I bought it at around 2am this morning because I was afraid it would get cut. It's still around though!

Thanks for the encouragement. It's unlikely I'll be entering the next derby - while it's all well and good to procrastinate NOW, I can only put off work for so long. I have a curious philosophy and work ethic - for example, I refuse to skip class but I am perfectly content to sleep during lectures. Similarly, I will put off work to the last minute, but I will always use that last minute to complete the assignment to the best of my ability (that is, the best of my ability given the compressed time frame).

This is the closest shirt to the fog I'd actually want. Surely there about 300 people who were waiting on voting on it until tonight, right? ;)

And here I kept thinking it was some kind of meaning for people who ordered less than 3 Bacon Onion Cheddars on the main Woot site.
