Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
The public demanded it, so how can I not comply? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
Hope these look more like coconuts

Mucho better, IMO. I only hope check marks are left alone by the rejectonator.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
much better! definitely got my vote now! =D
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
It does look better, hopefully it can make it up there.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
Haha. I didn't get the reference at first since I thought they were bowling balls.
This is great!!! Good job!
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
oh! love this updated furry-coconut version!
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
Much improved. I'll be amazed if this doesn't get 1st place.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
Love it Artulo! and the colors are amazing!
Good luck with this!
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
this is great! I agree the fuzzy coconuts are a nice improvement.
Yes....just yes.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
Yep! Much better.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
everyone, including myself, always says "o.m.g. i want this shirt!"
but seriously, i want this shirt.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
I hate to sound like an spoon, but... what are the 3 dots about? Is it "therefore"?

That was supposed to be the image of a coconut with 3 holes in it.
I like this. Voted. Done talking to myself. Sorry.
Much better with the texture change.
On a totally coincidental, I just got The Holy Grail in the mail yesterday from Netflix. My gf had never seen it so I had to have her watch it. This shirt getting posted the same day, must be sign. GMV
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
I'll be buying three if this wins!!! LOVE IT!
Imma guess... Monty Python reference?
Very nice! :D
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
Just perfect if you get the joke.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
Awesome! gmv.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
I'm surprised no ones asked but are they African or European?
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
simply awesome
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
There are so many reasons this rocks. GMV. You might have a shot this week, art.

Good use of colors.

That, my good sir, is because everyone knows that African swallows are non-migratory.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
wow...thats...awesome.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
I dont know what to say... in the fog, this? Maybe I am getting old.
Hmmmm, I get there are 3 marks like that on a coconut, but... It still kinda looks like a bowling ball.
I love it, otherwise. Maybe just one more little tweak and it'll be woot-worthy.

Yeah, where do you put the lime?

They have to be european, african swallows are non migratory

Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
Crap, easy win here. I WHERE ARE MY PANTS?! this one at all, but I can almost guarantee it will get first place. Monty Python is hilarious though

There was a lot of talk about in the first sub, but once it was resubbed with a furry coconut, it would have been redundant, as declared by the Department of Redundancy Department.

Check marks are symbols, not text. ;) I'm pretty sure this shirt is safe. =)

I've seen checks get hit as text. Gonna shut up now lest I jinx it.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
I must have this shirt.

woot! why must you make such a fool out of me. very rude. very rude indeed. But seriously...let me know if you have seen my pants.

A great joke wasted on the youth.
I am not being snarky, or trying to come across that way, but go rent (or steal from the internet) a copy of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
Hopefully you will not just understand the joke, but come away laughing at one of the most incredibly funny movies of all time.
While you are at it, watch "Three Amigos" too. My hope is that someday a "Three Amigos" tee will surface, and I will wear it to shreds. I think TGentry could do a great clever take on it, or Walmazan could work his magic in making a wearable cartoon shirt.
But I am getting off topic. Go watch Monty Python!

This post has my approval. A lot of my friends (aged early 20's) see the DVD of Holy Grail at my house and they're like, "What the heck is this?". Seriously, if you haven't seen it, go watch it and be open minded about the humor.
Oh and walmazan doing a Three Amigo's tee would brighten my day so much. His style would fit it so perfectly.

I was actually hoping it would pop up during the "Three" derby, but I didn't want to jinx it by talking about it in case someone was doing it.
I really want to see how Wences does "El Guapo"! =)
This design is simple and well done. I love the colors and the placement. I would buy this shirt if it wins. Oh yeah, and it's not black or grey!

Other than both being Monty Python references they have zero in common. This one shows two failed ways a swallow might carry a coconut and then one way that's successful. The other one is a coconut next to a swallow with a bunch of text. They have a reference in common, but nothing else on a conceptual level.

There's three links there, the first one is the closest to this design, it even uses the same text that this one uses for a shirt. The back image is the same concept with 2 birds string and a coconut. I'll post the images for quicker ref
Not saying he stole it, I think Artulo's ethics are above that, just that he referenced python and it's been done

there are three different links to three different shirts, two of which have swallows carrying a coconut with a string. but i still agree with tgentry, all of these designs are taking their idea from a famous movie, so there arn't gonna be many ways to do it, this shirt does the same idea differently. What i find interesting is that it took this long for someone else to find those shirts and post them here, usually there are huge uproars about this sort of thing. ;)

It's still different enough from the versions posted above (I didn't notice that it was three links). It's basically a selection chart showing three different attempts at a swallow carrying a coconut, two of which failed, one of which succeeded. Those other versions might have a partial element there, but not the actual concept. In addition it visually encompasses the debate within the movie, which the others don't. His version hasn't been done (as far as I know), which is why it won't get rejected. Again, same reference, different concepts.

I imagine a lot of people probably DID scour the net to find this exact shirt, but didn't think anything was close enough to warrant posting. I'm sure there are a lot of Monty Python designs out there, including plenty of swallow/coconut themed ones. Like you said, it's all in how it's presented and what unique angle is taken on it.
So very sweet, Artie. Love it. -- Lil

Your sleuthing is certainly appreciated, but I think were in the clear with this one. All the linked shirts certainly do reference the swallow/coconut portion of the movie, but I think mine takes it a little further.
Thanks to megsck and tgentry for supporting my design!

You could say the same about the schrodingers cat that got bizanned this week.
He took it WAAAAY FARTHER than DianaSprinkles's.
Just saying.

Ummm...I was just quoting a meme for humor...thought that one was popular enough. I'm old enough to have watched Holy Grail on PBS with a B&W TV in my room when I was a kid.
This shirt GMV and I will stay up until Midnight Friday morning to get one.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios (v2)
This ones an obvious winner. I mean, how could this fail? great choice of color too. Love it.

schrodinger's cat was rejected because it was a similar concept to something woot had already printed, not because it was "similar shirts exist". maybe it's splitting hairs, but its not the same thing. woot has not printed a monty python coconut/swallow tee, therefore it is not the same thing. so stop using the "if _____ got rejected than this should too" line.
now let me buy this tee.
