Shirt.Woot

My eyes hurt from rolling.

Two of my favorite things, tea and puns.

“I’m a little tea pot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout. Tip me over, and drain me out.” lalalalalala

I can only hope the vine growing from the cup leads to a cloud covered in gold coins.

You should get that checked.

I'm just exhausted enough for that write-up to be pretty much the funniest thing ever. I couldn't even get through it in one go.

As for the shirt, very commendable anytime someone matches red and green and it DOESN'T make me think of Christmas. Also, I love tea.

Good job!

You know, at first glance I'll bet a lot of people mistake this for a Christmas shirt.

Love the writeup!

I'm with you... I... am... stunned...

Ah ha, well isn't that clever.

Sooooo, if I get a stain on this shirt, I'd be having a spot of tea. Am I right?

I find this design a little...lopsided.

Regarding the write-up:

American English places the comma within the quotations--always.


- Someone Who's Paid to Know Such Things

Can you imagine how utterly pathetic you would look wearing that shirt?

While I adore this shirt (and purchased one), I'm a little sad not to see the lady bug design. *sniff* I'll get over it when I wear my tea shirt for the first time. And the first person to hate on it gets threatened with the tea bag.

Wear this if you're a Tea Party member.

How are you supposed to hold that tea cup. The handle looks daunting.

Hahaha, that write-up was great! And I think my avatar goes along with the "This shirt tells the world" Disney reference. *grin*

You're wrong.

This shirt causes me tea-pain.

hey congrats fungusamongus! well done

Congrats on the win!

Ahhh... Just 36 votes away from an awesome shirt. One day I'll get a shirt with your leaves/scales patter on it, Boots. Thought for sure that the third time would be the charm...

Finally a tee for everyone that likes tea. It's nice to see this one pull through to get a place. Congratulations on the print!

Dang! And I was considering getting this shirt! I won't now.

Tea comes from an evergreen shrub/tree - it's not grass! Camellia sinensis!!! The family is Theaceae and it's in the order Ericales which includes blueberries and azaleas. The plants are really beautiful.

Sorry, gratuitous amounts of plant taxonomy classes make you persnickety about that sort of thing XD

Has woot changed the color of the "grass" green shirt? The only other grass shirt I have is "eat more meat" and it really looks like a different color on screen?

Oooh, this is a such a tasteful shirt! It's a rich aroma of two earthy colors, and is satisfying no matter what time of day.

I can also wear it to Teavanas everywhere and be mighty-mighty.

Is this the perfect Jersey-going-out shirt? IT'S TEEEEEEAA SHIIIIRRRRRRT TIIIIIIMEEEE!!

As one with an English B.A., I totally approve this shirt.

Visual puns are awesome.

Just when you thought you've had enough from the Teabaggers.

So tea is being made from aspen leaves now? How interesting.

I think you're supposed to stick your pinkie out.

Congrats Fungus!

Cute shirt, great write-up.

As someone who makes their living writing, I can tell you that the punctuation definitely goes inside the quotations, though.

Get this for your very merry unbirthday!

Really need to know what kind of tea this is. My doctor has banned me from having any black tea because I get kidney stones. They are not pleasant, so would like to stay clear of it in any form.

I'm guessing this is a green Tee shirt cause its green, or at least that's the color it appears to be. See, I've never been tested to see if I was color blind, and would rather not risk the chance of getting another kidney stone.

I understand the description says grass, which typically means the color green, but I've heard of kentucky blue grass before, and don't know how blue tea would affect me. Id hate to get a blue kidney stone, cause it would hurt me greatly to know that my kidney stone was sad cause I made it blue from wearing kentucky blue grass tee.

Thanks in advance.

I've found that people really dislike the idea of periods and commas in quotations; I remember having a heated discussion with my sister where she refused to punctuate properly on principal because it would 'never feel right to her.'

Hm. I guess that says something about my family, that such is the substance of our debates!

Complicating the matter is that placing periods and commas outside the quotations is the practice 'across the pond,' and similarly, few people here seem to know this rule and punctuate incorrectly in advertising and on public literature. The result? Nearly every American defender of the 'outside period and comma' has an example to cite.

Never mind that the example they cite isn't of proper usage, but of poor usage--the fact that they've seen it used in such a way seems proof enough.

As you can tell, this issue peeves me.

i am disappoint.

Cute Shirt..hogtown mushroom ;)
