Shirt.Woot

ZZ RR!

First shirt in quite a while I bought on release date. Had to have this!

I'm kinda surprised the write-up didn't make mention of a Norwegian Blue parrot.

For those who don't get it....

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

and

do a barrell roll

I almost enjoying learning things about games (?!?!??!) I've never seen from shirt.woot! so clue? Anyone?

maybe not a game. If not game, therefore meme is the new rule?

And because I'm putting my learning process on display (blame insomnia), I have reread clanaota's links (thank you) and have now realized it references a video game I have actually played (once.)

So if game, then also meme. Syllogism achieved.

Good night.

Don't worry, I've got a reference video if there are those of you out there who still might wondering what the shirt is a reference to.

I'm not sure I understand the "Don't wear this shirt"... Does woot really think it was only mediocre?

A Very lazy image for a very lazy shirt.

Would have been a buy if it were still a pangram.

Brb while I go make this on zazzle. Weak sauce guys.

well at least im not the first one to point out that there isn't a J, U, M, P, or S in that sentence.

For a moment there, I thought I was going to have a WORD PROBLEMS!.

I see an 'S'. Nice try, chum!
Edit: Oh, snap! There is a 'U' too!

No, it wasn't mediocre in the least (we're talking about Star Fox 64). This is probably one of less than half a dozen games you can pick up, play, and beat in about an hour. Then you can start the damn thing over again, pick the SAME PATH and still have just as much fun. Of course, different paths are available.

Mediocre? Not even a little. Way off, woot.

BTW, woot, this game withstood the test of time WAY better than most of the other 64 games, and that's right, I'm, talking about you, Goldeneye!

"mediocre" PSHHHH!

well fine.

wait, there's an 's' alright, but there most certainly is no...


oh it's in quick.

silly me.

Don't forget about the multi-player. It was a good change of pace from GoldenEye. The tanks and "foot patrol" as we called them were pretty worthless, but fun going against 3 friends in planes.

This is not a pangram! Good night!

Ahh, this is good.
On a side note, I went to high school with a "Nathan W. Pyle". I'm wondering if it's one and the same...

Edit: Just did a quick Google search. Yep, it's him. Weird!

But that sentence defeats the purpose of the original sentence. I no longer has every letter of the alphabet!

Not Impressed...

The other fox did a
no-handed 720 to barspin 360 triple backflip no handed superman seatgrab busdriver barrel roll tailwhip
over 3 lazy dogs!

Awww. Nathan may have an offbeat sense of humor, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him weird.... ;)

I would say "mysterious" would be a more appropriate term for his former high school self... at least that what he seemed like to us young swooning gals.

It's a barrel roll (thus the fox is upside down, over the fox).

When upside down, the r forms a j, the w an m, and the d a p.

Thus, all the letters are covered.

What's so weird about that? Anyone who's ever gone to high school anywhere could have designed this shirt.

I understand the mashup of the two distinct bits, but I don't see that it works without all the letters being in the result. Strikes me that the dog wasn't the only lazy one involved here...

I'd just like to say...

It's "The quick red fox jumps over the lazy brown dog."

I know, because we had to type this...over and over and over and over...

They just wanted you to type it wrong all those years.. why do you need RED? R, E, and D are all used elsewhere..

Why oh why isn't this on a brown shirt? Gah!

My favorite pangram is "New Job: Fix Mr. Gluck's hazy TV, PDQ!" It's the only one I know of to use each letter exactly once. Can I make that into a t-shirt?

it's funny, but i'm not spending $12 on a black shirt with a cute phrase on it. try some art too next time :/

I'm sorry, but you've been typing it wrong. Oh well, time to start over and type them all again!

I haven't bought a woot shirt in almost a year... and prints like this are a large part of the reason. Sorry woot, fail.

At first, I thought it was a Google reference....
