Shirt.Woot

Congrats Loop!

A reference to this perhaps? It's even got little oysters on the top and bottom!

Hey! It's my FAVORITE Mythbuster!

Wilford Brimley looks so young in that picture!

They sure used to wear some crazy moustaches back then.

fantastic shirt; excellent description. love 'em both!

At the conclusion of the portraiture session, the subject said, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go bust some myths."

I wonder if he has started the search for his bucket at this age as yet

Yes! One of my choices now into threads. Awesome detail too. Glad y'all could make this one - very Wootable!

Yes I said yes I will Yes

and lovely work to the writers, as well

Even dressed in their dapper finery, walruses give me an inferiority complex.

Trip to the aquarium w/ first boyfriend + coming to terms with budding sexuality + over-excited walrus up against the glass = permanent emotional scarring.

Cu cu ca-choo!..

When I look at this shirt, I'm reminded of Teddy Roosevelt.

BTW, this is the only shirt I voted up, and really hoped it would print. This shirt is cool in an inexplicable way.

The question must be put forward: How did he knot that bow-tie?

Lol, my co-worker called this "Tusky Roosevelt."

Thanks everyone! Good to see that this walrus didn't get all dressed up for nothin!

This shirt treads lightly and carries a big stick.

Appears to be Jeremy Fish inspired.

Actually, I've worn the handlebar more than I've rode a bicycle using the handlebars. My wearing one was popular during my rodeo days in my 20's. Today, imagine a chubby and shorter Steve Wilkos with a handlebar and that's ME when I let one grow.
Truthfully, if it weren't for that fella's tusks, he'd wind up eating that 'stache. I had to wax mine, especially the tips to keep that in check.

Look! it's Jamie Hyneman!

The fact that this shirt won makes me jump for Joyce.

Congrats, Loop.

Congrats on the very well deserved print, iLoop!! :D

I am one of those people who reads the entire text below the pictur.

AND

for anyone else, I just wanted to note that the entry for shirt color makes a joke/reffrance to the book "The Stars My Destination"

I also sudgest you read the book, it's quite exemplary

After a few months of watching shirt.woot, I'm proud to announce that I've purchased my first shirt. This breaks the curse of the shirt I'm willing to buy not printing. I look forward to wearing the Walrus. Now to go over to the derby and make my votes count.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax -
Of cabbages - and kings -
And why the sea is boiling hot -
And whether pigs have wings."

I want to see this portrait on all my money.

Looks a lot like Travis Louie's work..

You could wear this shirt, then commit a bunch of debauched acts and see if the mustache grows longer and more grotesque

This one'll make people subconsciously perceive you as thinner, right? That's why I bought one, anyway.

Also, is this actually a reference to Joyce or does the reference not extend past the name of the shirt?

Cause I only got about 200 pages into Ulysses, and the walls of my pseudo-intellectualism would tumble if someone came up and said "Dude, is that a Joyce reference?"

It's elementary my dear Watson.

Oh. So you're saying walrus drew this, as a self-portrait? Not bad! Not bad at all. Especially for someone with only fins with which to draw.

theinfinityloop's description has a typo! This man does not deserve such insolence!

"It couldn’t possible be more appropriate."

It should say "possibly"

So, is anybody else reminded of an old-school mac game?

...exploring the underwater wreck, you come upon a room with a walrus that says 'indoubtably' when you click on him...

What's it called?

The start of the holiday season is always the cause of much re-Joycing.

In all 1100+ pages of mysteries, Holmes never ever said that. Just wanted to let you know.

It was the Manhole. (stop snickering, everyone.) Wasn't the walrus a portrait on one wall? I'm curious how close this is.

One word: Indubitably.

(Please tell me someone else remembers The Manhole!)

For the win, friend. Indeed it was.

Wary of the power of suggestion, I started doubting my memory of the picture frame, but you're right about that too.
