Did you know that you can trade shirts you don't like for shirts that you do? YOU CAN! On teetrade.org or in the Random Shirt Trade Center thread in the main shirt.woot forum. YES! It's TRUE. Exploration: THE REWARDS IT GIVES; THE SHIRTS IT SAVES FROM CLEAN-RAGGINGNESS!
Teehee.
It always makes me sad when people say "I didn't like the shirts I got, so I turned them into rags." There's a good chance someone REALLY WANTED one of those shirts! Do the woot community a favor, people - don't trash your shirts, trade them!

For ease of reference: all the Reckonings since the last Random shirt on Feb 6.
Actually, the most recent reckonings would usually not be in this batch of Randoms, but in the next one. I think there's usually a four- or five-week delay (meaning only one, or possibly none, of the Reckonings you posted would be in the Randoms this time around). I think Narfcake, being the volunteer numbers guy around here, is the one who figured out those parameters...

You have a pretty good chance of getting shirts that were reckoned 5 or more weeks ago.

Sadly, you don't get a coupon code for every Random purchase. It seems like there hasn't been one in a while... maybe they'll be sending one this time, as an incentive for reluctant wooters to buy shirts printed on the new [insert adjective of choice here because I don't want my post to get baleeted] blanks.

On top of the ever present always buy 3 rule, I would like to add always pay for overnight shipping. That way if you get a shirt you do not like you have more time to trade it away for a good one.
It puts the crap inside the bag or it gets the hose again.
