Shirt.Woot

Next nevermore?

Awesomely reminiscent of The Raven t-shirt

Alas, poor Yorick!

Very cleverly done sir. I applaud you.

Is Nevermore not selling well enough?

Yurick never looked so good! And I knew him.

Psh... it's nothing but idle words...


and shading. There's definitely shading. ;)


Congrats on the print, Ape Lad.

I love Hamlet, but this just reminds me how often Hamlet is mis-quoted as "Alas Poor Yorick I knew him well" rather than "I knew him, Horatio". And that makes me sad.

Awesome. I have the Nevermore shirt and this will definitely make a good addition to my shirt.woot collection. I love that it looks hand written (or is hand written).

COULD THIS BE THE NEW NEVERMORE???????????

I had to do it.

Billy Madison

Darn it, that's excellent.

To buy or not to buy... THAT is the question.

Great design. I also approve of the size and placement. Nice work apeland.

I like this in theory, but this is muddled.

The skull is associated with the "Alas, poor Yorrick" speech. But the text here is the "To be, or not to be" speech.

This and Nevermore go together way too well. Wear this and have someone wear Nevermore and people will think you're...uh...text-as-art freaks?

A very odd place in the middle of the soliloquy to stop. He's only halfway done with explaining why he's wussing out on killing his uncle. Again.

And in the end, his lack of action ensures that EVERYONE DIES.

The moral of this story is, if you have to off someone evil, just do it. Letting them live is never a good plan.

If you REALLY want someone to read your shirt for a long time, put Halle Berry's Oscar acceptance speech on one.

They could have just charged my card and mailed me the shirt without even telling me. It's that good.

Not as awesome as Nevermore. I will not be buying this one.

BOUGHT! I have been meaning to finally get "nevermore" after 3 years or so on woot and seeing it everyday.

Gasp! This is sick! (in the good way) Woot, blast you and the plethora of skull shirts you make me buy!

My thoughts exactly. Smaller text with the whole thing would have been much more desirable.

no. no it couldn't.

THIS!

And you guys thought I was all Santa fondling, hobo cats, table of element parodies, and juvenile calculator gags. I'm only 90% those things.

Seriously though, thanks. I'm glad to see this up and excited to see it in the flesh. Uh, bone.

Speech basically a mortality + what happens after meditation, therefore having it laced over a skull with all the skull's memento mori gravity is a very nice touch

Now, I would definitely agree that it is the "wrong" speech, "To be..." is, hands down, the most memorable monologue from Hamlet. However, if there is a most memorable item from Hamlet, it would have to be a skull.

Putting the Yorick speech would have been more fitting, yes, but having the suicide one is most fitting for the play as a whole, as it is coupling the most memorable speech with the most memorable prop. Just my opinion, anyways.

Actually, it's quite possible that it could be, though this seems to have more style than Nevermore ever dreamed of having.

There was a hobo cat? O.o

Just in case you don't understand Hamlet, here's a translation, Animaniacs style. ^_^

Is the other 10% ruining the hands of gamers everywhere?

(I have that shirt, BTW).

Not on a shirt. At least not yet. I have a hard time getting those two to commit.

Exactly. Which is why I find this muddled. It's just taking one item from column A and one from column B and forcing them together.

It's sad that not more people will realize that it is not the entire soliloquy. Then again I'm certain there are just as many people who don't realize that "The Raven" was also abbreviated in it's design. I'm definitely in for one, and can't wait until they make a hoodie of this next year.

Gaming's all about gestures and body movements nowadays. I totally dropped the ball on that prediction.

It may say not to wear in women's but I'm too much of a nerd to not get one.

Looks like someone is aiming for The Raven's throne? This might just be the shirt to do it.

...or you could say Wear this shirt: If you are an English Literature Major who is currently working retail. Hey, those groceries aren't going to sell themselves you know!
