How much extra do I have to pay to get a moveable loading bar?

I will be the first to admit it took me far too long to get the gag. Pardon me whilst I hang my head in shame.

I notice it doesn't say what size the magic wand is.

Ugh. Eventually got it. Way too subtle a joke for my coworkers.

It puts the crap inside the bag or it gets the hose again.

It also looks like a really long cigarette. Like a Nat Sherman Fantasia or something.

Sadly, I didn't realize it was the shirt image when I was on homewoot hoovered over. Then I STILL didn't get the joke until I had read through the comments.

So, does it work with Mac?

didn't get the gag at full size, but it was readily apparent in thumbnail.

and just barely avoided a text only ding.

Tempting, even though I live in China so most people I know won't understand it, and even if I explain the joke to my kindergartners, they'll ask where the tinsel and fairy dust went...

Bought my first Woot shirt two weeks ago for my wife it was a size wm (woman medium) and praise be it fix perfectly.

It really fit like a woman's shirt should which is sooo rare. She loves it.

For your info it was "Prune Juice a Warriors Drink".

Great job Woot you made me look good. Thanks

You are not alone. I could wear one a day for a month (maybe 6 weeks, I need to count again) and not wear the same shirt twice. Although because of random shirts I have several duplicates... Does that count as wearing the same shirt again if it isn't the same shirt, but same design?

This is such a clever design, as a self proclaimed nerd I am saddened about how such a subtle design could have slipped by me.

This reminds me of the equally sublime pie chart that explains how much of the pie-chart looks like Pac-Man. I love these visual jokes.

I work in tech support, where we deal with loading screens all day. I blame that for why I didn't see it for so long.

I don't get it. I usually say that because I want people to explain to me what they also don't get and pretend to play dumb. This time, I am really just dumb.

Suck it, Trebek.

I wish I could see the design. it says the image is loading for me...

For all you people that seem to not get the joke, loading bars fill in a box left to right. The left tip of the box looks like the tip of a magic wand. What makes it funny is that the text underneath it says that it is loading a magic wand picture file. I hope I explained it somewhat coherently.

I really liked the writeup; spot on the Socratic dialogue, Woot writers, spot on. Come to think of it, Socrates probably could have used a bit of this.

I'd bet 100 bucks that this idea was formed under the influence of a considerable quantity of tetrahydrocannabinol. Under no other circumstances could it be considered funny enough to put on a t-shirt.

I'm actually surprised that the "artist" didn't wake out of their stupor the next morning, take one look at their sketch, and think to themselves "...wow, that is really stupid. I sure am glad it's not on the internet with my name on it...what's for breakfast? Ooh waffles!"
