Hope you make it to the fog!

Thanks Wonderbunny for your help before the derby started. You and several other wooters were very helpful in offering advice about placement, text, etc. I really appreciate it. I'm glad to see this one getting a few votes too. Thought it might be fun to offer up something a little different.

THanks Raikus and Wonderbunny for the Seuss comment. That's a nice compliment!

Re: Humpty needs our help!

I count three rules this breaks. Anyone find more?

Agreed with Nautikal... I would buy this on royal blue or navy.

Rum? Check. Eye patch? Check. Hook? Check. Big knife? Check. First aid is simple when you're a pirate.

I love that T-Rex... got my vote.

*giggles* do you think i should change the shirt color to give more contrast?

Re: Game Over

Well done!

I would actually enjoy wearing this a lot... I love the colors.

Re: FLIP ME!!!

*giggles*, great shirt. GMV

Re: MILK?!!?!?!

COOKIES!

Re: TARrannosaurus

Fantastic!! A tar pit shirt! GMV

Re: It Fixes Everything

Thanks for the votes, everybody! the tan is more like a table top or something. It'd be lovely to be allowed 8 colors for shirts. I had to use three on the box just to be able to tell what it is.

I would totally buy this for my sister... got my vote.

I don't know how well it fits the theme, but it's an awesome design...

Thanks! This dino sure got himself into a sticky situation...

Ahh. The pun! IT BURNS.

Very interesting trees. They make me think of watermelon-lollipop-one eyed monster-venus flytrap-alien things.

Thanks, all I saw was the one eye!

I dunno, the white on black gives it a 'chalkboard' feel.

The shark reminds me of a dog that just got caught destroying a shoe, as if trying to ask 'Why are you freaking out? That shoe gave you blisters anyway.'

Fantastic!

Re: Prehistoric Emergency

We should have an extinction party. Woo...

I enjoy the fact that the shirt would be printed on asphalt.

And the dinosaur's shoes. Not sure why I enjoy them though...

Thanks for the hotness push!

I can't afford to purchase Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, and I prefer to support OSS, so I use The Gimp and Inkscape. This means that I can't open woot's templates - I'll spare you the tech details, but I can't get the adapters for The Gimp to open the Adobe templates. So I use screenshots from the pdf, resulting in color inaccuracy. I tried to work around this issue by using the color from a photo of a baby blue woot shirt. This doesn't necessarily exempt me from being a stupid derbyist, though. How 'bout some benefit of the doubt next time, Adder?

That's irony! Good job SpinkleMons!

Re: Not Equal

In honor of the "Emergency!" theme...on navy so I can wear it to work!

I love how happy the sun is, despite the people running around on fire.

This actually reminds me of Oh Burned... In an awesome way.

the fish in the farside has bulging eyes too.

Hrm, interesting. I never saw this particular farside. :/

I'm rewriting my comment from before, as a meteorologist in training this t-shirt cracks me up, hope it wins!

Re: TARrannosaurus

Hurray for extinction parties!

Hey hax, you can use hex codes in GIMP right? For your future use:

Yep, looks to be a straight resub too. However, I would consider it an emergency if my computer started puking!

Come on, really? Rejected? This shirt looks nothing like that other shirt. I used a real heart shape, no game pieces, and anatomically correct placement. There's room for two completely different shirts based on the game Operation. Isn't there? Besides, my shirt had a message. The other was just a blow-up of the game board.

Just had to get that off my chest (no pun intended). If anyone wants to balance out this injustice, please vote for my one-legged chicken.

Thanks!

Re: Tomato IV

Are they taking it out.....or putting it in ?!?!?

I would like it better without any text

Or maybe just without the temperatures, who cares if you will cook outside if the Godzilla will eat you before you get the chance.

Or maybe replace the Mon. Tue. Wed. etc.. with just M T W

Just my beer and I's opinions ;-)

YUM!!
Now that's a tree!

It's still funny, and so is this shirt. But honestly, I don't think Californians or the rest of the US would consider this an emergency. Property values along the 'new' west coast would go up, definitely be some sort of climate change in Las Vegas, and California would be better than anything Dubai could make.

Re: Olive Knew there'd be Days Like This ...

I laughed so hard when I saw this!! Great job!

Sokowa- You know what I love about this one? It looks like the leafy greens are actually pointing to the rabbit to "LEAVE!" I don't know if you intended that or not, but that's how it looks to me. I'm a huge Sokowa fan and this week you did not disappoint. I agree with the other poster. I think you are in a great position for multiple prints this week. Your first three entries are outstanding!

Re: Dodging Danger

For your consideration... totally fabricated emergency... birds are generally smarter than people when it comes to going out in these conditions. Looked nicer than an airplane, tho! :-)
