ha! Plus, congrats to Apelad. This is quite the roll. Fun idea.

Still says 2nd at the bottom

Hilarious shirt

Reminds me of this one:

http://www.threadless.com/submission/250063/Peanuts?from=shirtwoot

Just a heads up! Threadless has their $10 shirts and 20% off hoodies sale right now.

Um, badge says 1st, but description says second.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Is that really how they made that sound effect? Does anyone know?

Wuuaaggh?!*

*Which is to say: thanks for the votes and the cliff hanger of an evening.

Write-up says 2nd place but the award says 1st place. What up wit dat?

"2nd place in Derby #212: Back to School, with 813 votes"
What happened to first place?

I was considering dancing repetitively there for a moment. Epic save, phew!

For those who need to be let in on the gag


Congrats Apelad! Hilarious stuff, bought one right as it came up.

FINALLY! the new shirt is up ...

Some of us get withdrawl symptoms at midnight CST, y'know!

You don't see a lot of lemon-colored shirts, nor do you see many single-ink shirts. This one is both, and it fits *perfectly*.

Also, why does the writeup say 2nd Place?

Gosh! I want one! LOL But how is yellow going to look on me? Argh! Woot and your colors! (yellow is perfect for this one) I coulda been the first. I should get most whiney posts winner.

picture is missing the mute piece for that 'wah wah' sound

Criminy, that took a while before people decided they wanted to buy your shirt Apelad.

I mean look at that, speed to first woot 27 minutes?

You're slipping man. ;)

First place was available for exactly 26 minutes before this one was put up.

It's the doghouse for me!

26 minutes? Are we having shorter days now?

That cartoon finally makes sense!
Thanks for shedding light onto the reason I could never understand the adults.

Now, if someone could provide an English to slide-trombone dictionary I'd be sorted!

I think the most plausible explanation here was that it took them until now to figure out that what the shirt had been trying to tell them for the past half-hour was that it was ready to come out.

LOVE. THIS. SHIRT.

Worth the wait... nice job, voters.

Not as much as Woot messing with future-based accounting, aka how the ranks in the reckoning gets based.

But on a more serious note, the main site was down too, so.

My guess is that the "1st place" was the substitue teacher one that Ramyb had done, but when woot looked into it more, they found that it wasn't far enough over the line of parody to count as such, so was possible legal problem.

To be clear, not a Ramyb hate train member, just saying that it just was one of those shirts that that seemed a little too much on a tightrope of parody and homage. And we all know how tight-fisted Mr. Lucas can be about his IP.

The other Woot sites were frozen too. It does leave open the question: what was the first 1st place shirt?

Voted for and bought two of these shirts. My son is in speech therapy, i got one for him. I'm a sick twisted mommy!

right and Woot Daily Digest was sent out pretty quick with "Teacher Talks Funny" in the digest.

You're doing it right. ;)

Yep, with a mute to muffle the 'brass' sound.

as a credentialed educator, it'd be wrong for me not to own one of these! Thanks! :D

Instant Classic!

Too bad I look horrible in yellow.

If you follow the link to the derby and sort by votes you will find that they reveal the # of votes as the shirt goes up. Only thins shirt has been revealed, and there are none mysteriously missing. I think some one made a typographical error, or the top shirts are verrrryyy close in votes.

Maybe the teacher should try Stephen Hawking's communication system.

I am a homeschool Mama to two boys and a girl, and this is EXACTLY what it's like. Who let the artist in my house?! I have to get this!

Congrats, man! This is a great design.

Without using a mute, I don't think that sound could be produced very well. I should know, I was once a band geek.

Missing the funny little beagle and the bossy shrink. Looking forward to a shirt to follow up "Teacher Talks Funny"! This shirt generates one big smile!

If it had the zigzag lines across the bottom, I'd be in for 11

But check out the placement of the people! The people are the zigzags lines which makes this shirt all the more brilliant.
