Shirt.Woot

now I want to play but I don't have the game with me. darNNN

Oh, man. Beautiful. In for one for sure. Typography and my favorite mainstream board game. Yes please.

I have a nice collection of shirts to wear on board game night thanks to Woot, and today I bought another!

Colonel Mustard: was an old friend of Mr. Boddy's uncle and a frequent guest at the Tudor Mansion.

Professor Plum: A Professor in Middle Eastern history had many of his archaeological digs funded by Mr. Boddy's uncle.

Miss Scarlett: An aspiring but not very talented actress. Has decided on a career change and is now setting her sights on rich old widowers, which is why she is at Mr.Boddy's dinner party.

Mr. Green: a trickster and conman and again has become acquainted with Mr. Boddy through his uncle, Sir Hugh Black.

Mrs. Peacock: is Miss. Scarlett's mother, a socialite and three time widow, she still dreams of a career on the stage.

Mrs. White: Mr. Boddy's long-term housekeeper and cook.

Anyone who prefers Verdana to Helvetica is as stupid as Mr. Boddy for inviting 6 murderers to his house every weekend.

I think it's important for you all to know I am amazing at Clue! I won the last game I played in 2 turns. I'm like the Batman of Clue.

When you start tracking what you know other people know, then you are REALLY playing Clue.

What, no Wadsworth the butler? How disappointing.

If there's one thing that's annoyed me about these shirts with several lines of text and nothing else, it's that they can't do the first few with simply commas and then do the last & with an & symbol. I got the minecraft shirt and I don't even wear it because it drives my inner grammar nazzi crazy

There are those that don't?

....but with what, and where?

At first I thought it was a reference to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. But then knew it was Clue.

Haha, same here! I started trying to sing it, and thought, "Oh, wait..."

I find these kind of shirts annoying, too. The first time I saw someone wearing it, it was a guy who fit the mold of a typical hipster/coffee shop frequenter who had this obnoxious "punch me in the face" look to him like he wanted everyone to notice him and his stupid shirt. I imagine the names on his shirt were from some sort of pseudo-indie hipster band.

congrats odysseyroc!

:whistles innocently:


(Congrats Odysseyroc!)

Should this not be Scarlett&Mustard&White&Green&Peacock&Plum since that is how the game proceeds (Clockwise, starting with Scarlett)?

I would totally wear this in the study with the candlestick.

Did anybody guess this?

I'll stick to Clue Jr., thank you very much. Revealing who done it with a red tinted lens is MUCH classier.

...and you were right anyway. This is clearly a mash up of Clue and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Hence all the, "&"'s.

Are you looking for an Oxford comma? They are no longer done, according to our hired grammar I wanted you guys to know I'm ignorant.

Other than that...I feel like someone abused their "7" key.

This made me think of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Took me a while to get what the designer meant for it to be.

Oh THAT's what the joke is! Somehow I missed every other &, and read it as "Plum&White, Mustard&Green, Scarlet&Peacock" and imagined those as couples.

All this just makes me wonder how Ahmed knew whodunit in the lounge?

Breathing, breathless...heaving breaths...

I believe the helvetica/ampersand styling is a reference to these types of shirts: http://blog.howdesign.com/just-for-fun/origin-of-helvetica-ampersand-list-t-shirts/

That's the first thing I thought as well. I saw the names and though Clue, saw the colors and the &s and thought Joseph.

This is a glorious combination of design and geek.

cool.

FINALLY! A gaming reference I get!

yes! that would make it just that much better.

DOPE, DOPE, DOPE.

I'm not sure what the artist originally intended, and perhaps it was just meant to be a mashup of the hipster helvetica list shirts and clue, but I too thought of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat so I'm choosing to believe that it was somewhat intended to be mashed into the mashup as well. DON'T BURST MY BUBBLE!

"Is the FBI in the habit of cleaning up after multiple murder?"

"Yes, why do you think it's run by a man called Hoover?"

Nicely done Oddroc.
