True story.

Well, I was a May baby. So it's likely I was conceived in 1976... =D

Re: 1985

Great! Voted

Re: 1985

Great! Voted

If it was going to be rejected, I figure it would have been by now. I think you're safe.

We'll see though.

Since when has honesty been an acceptable defense?

for spacegirl- I updated the top comment. 1985 Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swann, Pirates of the Caribbean)was born

I can see all the little Woot gremlins furiously researching if they can get away with this.

Cool shirt regardless.

Re: 1986 - I still Believe

I 1986 there was a full blown search for the Loch Ness monster... Nothing was ever found... I still believe... ;)

I totally remember this movie! I watched it all the time with my brother!

Re: 1974: Lucy Discovered

tweaked and resubbed.

Inspired by the discovery in 1974 of "Lucy," a 3.2 million-year-old female hominid of the species Australopithecus afarensis, was discovered by scientists in Ethiopia's Afar Depression.

Re: 1974: Lucy Discovered

This. Is. AWFUL. I love it! +1


(BTW - meant awful as in "warped, twisted, slightly disturbing", AKA, all the things I love )

Re: 1983

Cool but I am casting my vote in with the 85 group... However I do really like the design.

I'm glad someone remembers (:

Re: 1971-Floppy Diskette

Wow. Just wow. This is awesome.

Re: 1974: Lucy Discovered

gmv as promised....hafta say, i preferred "the doctor is out" sign inclusion, but still a winner.

Re: 1979

@flower 753 - hehe sure! I enjoyed rewatching parts of the movie last night as I was drawing. And that's good you wouldn't forget Scooter - I just thought it was funny since that what he said;)

Thanks on Rowlf!

@Thanksj5!

@omarfeliciano - Thanks so much! Great to hear.

Re: 1974: Lucy Discovered

Ugh, not normally a Peanuts fan, but as an anthropologist I can't help myself. Would totally wear this.

Re: 1968: Food Was Cheap

I need this shirt! I remember getting one of those floppy record things in my happy meal as a kid - if the people on your record could correctly sing the jingle, you'd win a prize. Mine couldn't, but now I can sing it in my sleep! Pretty sure I'd buy one for me and one for each of my (3) kids if it prints!!

As do I. This looks pretty sweet. +1

Re: 1981

I think this is the first shirt I see on woot that actually made me think tat I must by 2 or 3 at the same time to ensure I can have a lasting stock of it

This is a must have!

Re: 1971 - Fuzzy Warbles

Gorgeous design! Very Jim Flora (one of my favorites!)

Re: 1974: Lucy Discovered

I hope this floats this time.

Re: 1997

What's that sound? The rejectionator snoring.

Re: 1986 - I still Believe

Nice

Re: 1971-Floppy Diskette

Were those floppies really only WORM?

Re: 1989: RIP Salvador Dali

On Jan 23, 1989 Salvador Dali died. This is an homage to his Les Elephants paintings. Except mine would be Les Giraffes I guess. :D

Clever hidden messages!

Re: 1993

it's a little scrunched, the original is longer

Re: 1993

1993, the year many ferries sank, the Hubble Space Telescope took its first corrected images after it's mishap, and people looked with eager eyes to the future.

Re: 1986

Cuccos and Navi were not in the 80's games, just sayin'.

Re: 1973

PotA was 1968??????

+1 on the humping visual

Does it matter? "Oh My Gookie! something Nintendo-related! Must vote." [eyeroll]

Re: 1989: RIP Salvador Dali

At least this giraffe isn't burning

I know someone that would LOVE this shirt. He named his son Dalí...

This is beautiful! I only wish that the design itself wasn't enclosed by such a harsh vignette. Is there any way to tone it down (considerably) or somehow alter the design without the vignette altogether?

Re: 1977: Modal Punk

From Wookiepedia:
"Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes were an all-Bith music band, specializing in the fields of Jizz and Jatz."

[snickers like a 12 year old boy]

All the same, the shortening of the band name bugs my obsessive geek side.

Re: 1982

a moratorium was declared this year on commercial whaling. go whales! yay!

Poor Gonzo, left out because he doesn't resemble anything...
