Shirt.Woot

Nice shirt. I think I might like it a tiny bit better without the "consider yourself warned" tagline.

All Bozos and Bozoettes, please buy this shirt and line up against the big blue Wall of Science. Thank you.

This is the first shirt I've bought since they jacked up the price and switched to shirts that aren't made in the USA.

And I for one think it's great with the "consider yourself warned" line. That just totally makes it for me. SO GREAT.

I love the blend of ancient menace (t-rex) with modern menace (iconography of atomic explosions).

Congratulations on the win and print, Patrick! I believe the atomic t-rex is telling the current Reckoning shirts that they should consider themselves warned!

I don't understand. Is "science" getting warned by a laser breathing dinosaur, or are we being warned about science?

It's 1955 not 1995. If you're going to paraphrase a movie, at least get the year right. Nobody was singing Mr Sandman in 1995.

Maybe it was a jab at the current trend of Hollywood reboots. A teenager from 2012 going back to 1995 would experience a comparable culture shock to one traveling from 1985 to 1955 in terms of ... the progression of science.

Writing! Consider yourself warned.

!!!! I wish I could wear this with my I "atomic orbital heart" science woot shirt. http://shirt.woot.com/offers/i-love-science Well I could but I'd be covering one shirt with the other and that would defeat the point of wearing the covered one...

I am both enthused and annoyed this printed.

Enthused because this design is freakin' amazing and I love it and I wanted this one to print so much my eyes literally got wider with delight when I saw the post announcing this on facebook.

Annoyed because now I have to pay sales tax on Amazon based orders and this is the first shirt I've wanted badly enough to finally break down and give stupid CA MORE tax money.

I would have bought this as just a dinosaur with laser. The squared out background and text ruins it for me

I agree with all above, the text kills it. I could have lived with even the squared background. All i can hope for is that eventually they might even have a shirt or two tailored toward anyone over the age of 19. Teefury has taken a plunge too recently with original/wearable stuff. Lots of chuckles at a picture and title, like i did this shirt, but nothing id buy much less wear.

I think the mushroom cloud is from an ancient menace -- giant space asteroids of death. Ask a dinosaur how that went.

If you're just looking for a dinosaur firing a laser with no text, I'd think this fits the bill nicely (well, the hoodie version, anyways. t-shirt seems to be sold out for now).

Seriously though, I realize that this is the internet and every single idea has been had by somebody else already, but the similarity between the shirts is a bit off-putting.

I'm a scientist, and I approve this message.

Weigh the force of the Threadless price, mon!

Hey, wheres the man-eating shark with the laser beam. I see, He's riding the tyrannosaur.

The design is cool and all, but I wish that it glowed in the dark in spots.

Oh yeah, I mean if you think rainbows are lasers.

SCIENCE!!!

Gah, additional text tends to be the HEY DID YOU GET IT??????? of shirts. I think in this case it's worse, because it goes from ATOMIC LASER DINOSAUR, AWESOME! to ATOMIC LASER DINOSAUR, TOTALLY NOT AWESOME!


Anyway, clearly this color should be "slated for destruction".

Hate to say it, but this shirt kinda seems like a ripoff of one of the Amorphia apparel shirts:
https://amorphia-apparel.com/design/rex/

You can get a version with a mushroom cloud in the background. Only thing different is the laser.

Atomic bombs and dinosaurs with frickin' laser beams coming out of their mouths!

I love that an entry so silly won the derby. Everyone I showed the design to laughed immediately. Great job.

Very cool shirt !

T-rex shooting a laser of its mouth? Are you kidding me? Y haven't you taken my money yet???

Godzilla called, he wants his job back!

Oh woot, you're killing my bank account lately..but I needed to have this one. I mixed so many of my favorite things!

To dust off an old nutshell:

I'M A FIRIN' MA LASER!!!

First time buying a shirt in a while. This shirt is just plain awesome.

Same here -- I'm almost teary-eyed with love for this one. Used my JumboWoot coupon code for this. Yay, Woot!

So the Libyians had someone from the planet Pluto?

SHUT UP! It is a planet! SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!

Hi, it's me.

The guy who points out that the word "plutonian" in the writeup should be plutonium, and then says nothing about the item in question.

Sorry.

Edit: So, yeah, it's me and that other guy. Double sorry.

T-Rex shooting a beam weapon from its mouth? So, first season Beast Wars Megatron, then?

It was 1985, not 1995... Jeez, people, let's get the details right...

This shirt is awesome. Then again, I'd probably buy any t-shirt that had dinosaurs on it. Laser firing dinosaurs? That's just more awesome!

Dinosaur? Check.
Laser? Check.
Mushroom Cloud? Check.
Valence Electrons? Check.
Random vials and stuff flying around? Check.
SCIENCE! in all caps? Check.

This shirt is amazing.

You could redeem yourself by saying something about the item! (Thanks for the heads up, both of you!)

Some day in the fairly near future, my son's entire SS T-shirt wardrobe will be from Shirtwoot......

Now, if they would only do more long sleeves..... ;D

Yeah, the writer also needs to learn about pronouns. "Just ask any professional scientist who has [...] and sent your teenage friend back to 1995 just as you are shot by the terrorists."

The scientist sent *my* friend, and *I* got shot?!

Plutonium. A transuranic radioactive chemical element with the symbol Pu and atomic number 94.
A Plutonian would be a person, or creature from Pluto, which, as far as I am concerned is still a Planet.

We've passed these things on, but give folks a shot of waking up.

How do you like the shirt?
