Re: Mayflower Mayhem

Thanks all, I was slightly worried about including the dead people, but decided that they weren't realistic enough to be an issue :P (Plus, it's just a reality of life)

Re: Technology Outstrips Settlers

I love this! It reminds me of the band Roper!

Re: Rabbits Win the Space Race!

GMV, I voted for this one before DFs.. I think I made him sad. Anyway, will totally buy it!

Re: As Simple as Black or White...

If only all of history's problems were so easily fixed...

Re: Rabbits Win the Space Race!

MORE RABBITS?


But this really is a great design.

Should have waited for me to come home from class....

Basically, Britain decided to stroke its ego and make itself 'above' all other countries and at the center of the world. The tradition stuck.

There are grassroots efforts to bring this very sort of projection into the norm- see the wikipedia article.

So yeah, sorry for that rant. I'm a geography major, you see. :\

Wow... that was very informative, ahuhu. Very intersting too!
Thank you now I can say that the next time I have a conversation with my friend the rocket scientist and sound that much smarter!
.... but seriousley I will!

Re: As Simple as Black or White...

Never would have thought of this. I like it. Has my vote. Makes you think for a second. Good job.

Re: Japan's Defense

If only japan had invented the giant-sized Rockem Sockem Robot...

Re: As Simple as Black or White...

Unless you own the picture, I could see this turning into another Broccoli debate.

Re: Columbus discovers seven stranded castaways.

Oh man, this is awesome. I'm hoping this one stays fogged the entire time.

Re: Technology Outstrips Settlers

this reminds me of Firefly, in the kind of space/sci fi western style. in for one, maybe two

Re: Maybe she said it for a reason

We're slashing prices! I really love the colors!

Re: As Simple as Black or White...

Personally, I just dont like black shirts... so maybe if it was on a different color, i'd want to buy it. Stll voted for it though, as I love the idea.

Re: As Simple as Black or White...

Thought about doing something like this, but figured it would be too touchy of a subject. Not to mention I didn't really have any good ideas on how to make it work.

Re: Good food fast

what if your favorite fast food had extra protein.

Got my vote! Hope it places, I want it.

Re: Another career cut short.

I'm not sure if it was Harrison Ford's career or Indiana Jones' career cut short. I thought about it both ways. :^)

This is made of win. Seriously.

Re: Let cake eat them!

What if Marie Antoinette said 'let cake eat them!' and then there were cakes that ate people.

DONT LEAVE US PUCKER!!!!

Re: Let cake eat them!

Man, I don't want to like this....but I'm afraid I do.

Re: When You're the Best of Friends♪

When you're the best of friends, you'll do anything for each other. Optimus Prime and Megatron befriended each other - and now, nothing else matters. Their only care is making sure they don't trip, as they skip off into the sunset. Aww.

If it's there, it has my money.

Re: Columbus discovers seven stranded castaways.

oh, this is perfect! Edgar, fantastic idea and execution. I'd love to buy this and wear it proudly!

mordicat wrote:this reminds me of Firefly, in the kind of space/sci fi western style. in for one, maybe two

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of the show. I even parodied part of the opening lines from it in my explanation. I wanted to combine that feel with a Gennedy Tartakofski sp? Samurai Jack sort of a situation.

Re: That Gladiator Shirt

The fallen gladiator appears to have quite the bulge.

Re: Slow and Steady LOSER

great line quality and style! and love the idea. gmv

Re: Original Sin Avoided

thanks! this was tough with only 6 colors... I would have liked the apple to be a brighter red. I'll try and post some detail pics this weekend.

This is the most interesting sub thus far, in my humble opinion.

Most of the others seem to hinge on some kind of unrealistic, cataclysmic event having occured at some unknown point resulting in, apparently, dinosaurs ruling the earth. This one, on the other hand, takes a well known and exhaustively documented event and asks, appropriately, "what if they weren't being recorded and televised?"

Unfortunately, as wootvan notes, this particular historical revision would probably have little to no recognizable effect on the present, but that's what makes it interesting. How often do people who have witnessed the film of this event (usually as part of a montage set to an epic, tear-jerking soundtrack and pasted amidst flaming monks, mushroom clouds and goose-stepping lemmings) actually consider what the outcome was?

Rather than some butterfly flapping its wings and causing a hurricane of dinosaurs we begin with an event that is perceived to be a major hurricane, turn it around, and end up with - I must unfortunately assume - no change at all, not even a wing-flap.

Sardonic gallows humor veiling a solid political statement that actually makes you think, all accomplished with three doodle-tanks and a stick figure. Brilliant. I would definitely buy and wear this shirt.

Re: Columbus discovers seven stranded castaways.

Love it! I just bought Gilligan's Island: The Complete Series on DVD about a month ago. The style is very cute and the colors are great!

omnitarian wrote:I wouldn't resub- the rabbits look fine to me and the real colors are up to Woot's pantone pickers anyway, right?

Anyway, I love the whimsical artsiness you incorporate in your designs, boots. This one's no different. Best of luck with it.

Thanks for the color input everyone. Ok. No resubs. I feel much better.

And thanks for the great comments, too.

Awesome idea but I think it needs the "feel the rhythm. feel the rhyme" quote on the shirt.
