I googled Larson and found an insect shirt but it's nothing like mine...

Mine is a yearbook Who's Who for insects and their dubious honors... I was actually Most Talented for my Senior year for my artwork...I think it's a cute idea done with bugs.

I would've love to see a screenshot of that. EPIC!

Re: Here's to a long career, cadet!

This was the best design in the derby, and I frankly see no resemblance between the guy on the shirt and Chris Pine. They're reaching.

Re: World's Best

This design IS the winner of this Derby!

Re: World's Best Spinal Surgeon

Love the House reference! Got my vote!

Fair enough. I'm just limp that they rejected me on the day I was getting my print ready artwork together. Wasted the whole datgum morning.

Agreed! Why all the rejections of pop-culture referenced designs?

Really?
have you looked at the pics in the thread?

Thanks. I appreciate that. I was pretty disappointed. I am kind of new to Woot, thuis was my second entry ever.
I used that reference photo for the cadet uniform, but I was not at all trying to make it look like Pine, I wanted it to look like a random guy. Guess I was looking at the photo too much and subconsciously did it? Bummer.

I voted for it...It's a great design plus I'm partial to red and black so it's a win win!

paigeg wrote:Hey, I get it. Really late sub, so maybe folks just aren't awake yet.

Both actually. It's rare I don't get a pop culture reference,but this one stumped me.

Alas, that was before the wife & kids.

BTW, how do I vote? I'm new to the whole woot derby thing and I want to vote for this shirt?

Re: Lauwiliwilinukunukuoioi

I don't think the "longest figh name" text is really necessary and it bothers me a little.
Great design though!

This is a lovely design. Stylish and not reliant on overused pop culture tropes. Wonderful job.

Re: Bounty Hunter of the Year

This.is.awesome.

thatisall.

Re: The Mask Collector (v 2.0)

I love this design and agree that it would be amazing as a glow in the dark! Good luck re-entering the fog GMV!

Re: Winners at life

The concept alone seals the deal on this one. It's a winner. :^)

The style and original wording of the cup is from the coffee cups commonly seen in NYC. The joke is taken from this classic Twilight Zone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIufLRpJYnI

good idea. I believe the quote is actually "arrow in the knee."

here I am thinking there may be a pro brony shirt on woot, oh well.

I'm pretty sure it's just you and me!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ONE
Would be cool if the back had the start date and the end date of the STS program

Re: Most Likely to Get Lost

Wow thanks everyone!

I've watched the whole series 5 or 6 times. It gets better every time.

Yeah, I figured it was a LongPork joke, but I couldn't place the reference in regards to the clasical greek motif on the cup.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the design. I know it has limited appeal, but I'm happy some of you got a kick out of it.

I hope you can maybe tweak the guy to lessen the resemblance and resubmit this as a daily shirt. I love it!
