Inconceivable!

I've been first wooter for 2 shirts...both are in the reckoning this week. One will almost certainly not make it out. The other should, sans shenanigans, finally fade away.

...strange, the things we wind up rooting for.

Rooting for art, even if it's on a t-shirt, is a righteous act

Catch Me If You Can isn't running, but maybe it'll claw its way into the top 20.

Acquired Taste surpassed 15,000 sales, Cheese is at the lowest its ever been, and Unstealthiest Ninja is bound to rise again, and so should In Harmony.

I think Acquired Taste is much more likely to hang around and hit the 20,000 mark than Cheese is. Of the two, Acquired Taste has my vote for the next shirt to last a year in the reckoning.

Also, I love Can't Catch Me, but I really need to be saving money. On the other hand, I really love Can't Catch Me. Ugh.

I agree. I've been of the mind that Acquired Taste would last through the year for a couple weeks now. It has the staying power of other classic shirts. Cheese will probably hang out for a while still, but I don't see it lasting through the holidays. You never know, though.

And on that note, it looks like my predictions are not going to be as on this week. Where's that crystal ball receipt again?

Don't bother - It says "ALL SALES FINAL" on the bottom of that receipt. I know ... I got gypped too.

Do what I do when in doubt - flip a coin. If it lands heads, buy it. If it lands tails, buy it.

The BossBot gets to say noobs and all we get is small members of the genus Equus

Filters are randomly changed for the capricious amusement of staff. For a brief (and annoying) period, they once filtered 'the'.

You Can't Catch Me is one of the best prints in a while - IT IS EXCELLENT! It may go to Alaska with me.

I have found that "noobs" is differentiated from "pony fan".

That would explain it

Not looking too good for several of the noobs ...

I didn't say OUT of it wasn't an option - imagination is a good thing

Great to hear, I haven't seen it yet. Thanks GCC!

I think this is the pile I'm taking to Alaska:

Campfire Tales
Sixty Six Degrees North
Odd Bear Out
Lost Luggage
One Smart Cookie
Smarter Than The Average Bear
You Can't Catch Me
The Chemist

The cruise is with the Skeptics Society, so I'll be among smart, questioning people. Feel free to question my taste - I'm a big boy, I can take it

I wish you the best of luck there. On my last flight, I was subjected to not only the "enhanced screening", but was promptly hauled off to a side room and strip-searched. It was a thoroughly humiliating and dehumanizing experience.

Thank you! I hope for smooth sailing through the airport security [Long Beach isn't as aweful as LAX]. I flew last October and dressed down - t-shirt, shorts, flip flops. I am a rather imposing 300 + pounds and either look like a garden gnome with a thyroid problem or an aging biker. I must exude peaceful pheromones, because they didn't single me out and usually don't. Back when I had 22 inches of pony tail, a really full beard and I'd get called for jury duty, despite being voted most likely to get thrown off the jury, they always picked me. I only look threatening in the midwest

Just got You Can’t Catch Me in the mail today. If anyone is on the fence about this shirt, jump down and buy one and get it out of the danger zone.

It is a truly awesome print. The detail is incredible.

I just tried to rescue Funny Things Are Everywhere out of the Danger Zone, but now You Can't Catch Me looks like it's about to be axed. I can't afford to buy two shirts at once, but it's such a good shirt...

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Au reservoir, Wooters! Keep it snarky, punny, and tacoliceous. Back in a week

Have fun, GCC! And while there will be will very stiff competition in #209, as The Three Classical States of Matter was a near sellout, Questionable Table of Elements was the first shirt to sellout at the newer 5k limit, and today's Dr. Adorable Love Potion is bound to sell a lot too, #208 isn't over yet.

So buy one of these, please?

LOLOLOL, I'm pretty sure this number is wrong:

4 (20) Red Revenge - (+1345) to 4248

How exactly is the list determined? For example, if Red Revenge sold (+1345) this week, would it bump it to #1 since it sold the most?

DianaSprinkle wrote:LOLOLOL, I'm pretty sure this number is wrong:

I'm pretty sure you're right. My bad. It's fixed now; it was 3rd and 4th that swapped places, and I missed swapping it on my spreadsheet.

jhernz wrote:How exactly is the list determined? For example, if Red Revenge sold (+1345) this week, would it bump it to #1 since it sold the most?

Well, theoretically, it would if my numbers were in the right place. But it wasn't. So it doesn't.

As for the way it works ... it's in the FAQ.

It's 4:15 a.m. and I just had to get on ONE MORE TIME [I can't quit you...]. Bought Dr. Adorable [a non-humid congrats to nblottie for the print ] for the wife [she's the Dr. H fan] and want to say congrats to ApeLad for the sell out - Woot! Woot! - on Questionable. Now it's Au reservoir!

Lost Luggage is my shirt for air travel appropriately enough.

So earlier today, I got a new BBQ shirt ... and he says RAWR! Yeah, I got stuck with the grilling duties, so lets hope the smell of charcoal, bacon grease, and beef burgers wash out of Viktor Jr.

Leave it to a Ramy shirt to go from twenty to two. As for all the others ones ... here's where they're at tonight, with less than 12 hours till the reckoning.

Assassin15 wrote:Do you remember what it was changed to?

I remember once they changed it to "teh". I presume that's what was referenced. For people with an intellect above that of a lolcat, it was incredibly frustrating to type and hideous to have to read.

Is Heavy Metal the worst "worst seller" of all time?

Also, aren't we a bit overdue for another random woot shirt day?

Unless a hero shows up soon, it will be requiem for a gingerbread man.

This makes me sad.

dcroe05 wrote:Unless a hero shows up soon, it will be requiem for a gingerbread man.

This makes me sad.

I bought an extra one last night, but that still meant it was at least 18 (plus whatever cheating sales) low from safety.

I'm not going to even keep my usual watch-the-reckoning-live today ... I don't want to depress myself, knowing that chances are that only one of three good shirts will survive, what with the double Ramy roadblock.

CFB - Worse seller of all time, nope - not even close. Skatetown comes to mind instead.
