Shirt.Woot

I remember the Oregon Trails days :P

In case any of you youngin's dont get it, its from The Oregon Trail.

Feel free to play the original Apple II version here: http://www.virtualapple.org/oregontraildisk.html

I wish under the text it also said "Ask your local Indian guide at the next river post for more information!"

When I saw the tiny pic from the main woot page, I was like... oh good, You Die From Dysentery shirt number 1,243,000 for the internet.

I clicked it anyway.

Then I could actually read the shirt text.

Well played Kevlar51. Well played.

Hey teenracer :3 long time no see!

Why is this not on an apron?

This message is very important to keep in mind in the kitchen!

I totally would have bought this on an apron!

Hey! Its been too long. I blame Reddit.

$25 for a tee shirt ??

T-shirts are still $12 on the first day, but hoodies are now available for $25.

Ohhhh... You can fill up all the blank space on this shirt with mini post-it notes full of witty epitaphs!

That was the best way to pass notes back when I was in 5th grade!

You pass a tombstone. Read it? Y/N

Sarah, I like you, do you like me? Y/N

OH WOOT, WHY. I just bought my second hoodie, (Raisins) and this hoodie is just calling to me, too...

Well, fine, I'll buy it. But I'm totally not buying the Zombie University hoodie too.

At least not today.

This would have made SUCH a funny apron!!!
Woot, I appeal to thee, make me an apron referencing Dysentry so that I may share a wholesome family laugh at my mothers terrible cooking.

seconded!
I'm in for three aprons (once woot wises up)

I fully support offering the shirt in two formats. This is the first time I've seen it done. Woot, can this be the new normal?

Personally I think the design belongs on a soap dispenser, but I haven't seen any of those sold on shirt.woot ;).

This shirt is made of 50% Cotton / 50% Polyester? I wonder how it will feel. Probably still inferior to American Apparel shirts.

The sales map for this shirt is hilarious: no purchases in the Midwestern states along the Oregon Trail (nothing completely west of the Mississippi, except Kansas). Too soon?

People With Power: the link to Kevlar's facebook page is incorrect; it currently directs to "shirt.woot.com/www.facebook.com/kevlar51," which for some strange reason returns an error message.

I prefer the original version, via lolshirts

I'm afraid to ask what color the Awareness Ribbon is.

They all died of dysentery.

This game was awesome! But pretty much if you were gonna die... Dysentery was gonna get ya.

T-Shirt creator must be a Person of Interest fan. No way this is a coincidence...

You shot 9 buffalo totaling 8,550 pounds of meat.

...You can only carry 100 pounds back.

D:

These 8-bit designs are kind of wearing thin. They were cute at first, but now they're as worn out as variations on the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' and the red/blue Obama 'Hope' designs.

Well, it *could* be. But I loved that episode. And the Amy Acker-ness.

I'm with you on that one. I happen to think this particular shirt is much better than most of them, though. If I hadn't spent so much money on the site lately, I'd probably get this one (or may later anyway), whereas I am not quite sure why some of the other stick around as long as they do.

Only $7 if I use one of my $5 @JumboWoot coupons. Why not? I'll help raise awareness!

That and playing Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego... *sigh*, the good ol' days of switching floppy disks.

Nice, kev'!

I never had an Apple II. Of course back in 1985 I probably didn't know what Oregon was either. I was playing Brian Bloodaxe, Starquake and Skool Daze on my trusty ZX Spectrum.

Beautiful message and sentiment. I think this shirt serves as a great memorial to all the digital friends and family I've lost to this horrible disease.

Because nothing says "welcome to my kitchen" like dysentery.

I've bought my 6th shirt today. Washes well, wears well. I like the quality and fit of the shirts they use.

I guess you could say this design is a real BLAST from the PASSED.

Heh. Poop jokes.

ditto!

I like the hoodie, but I have too many, an apron I'd of been all over. Woot gods make it so!

Hey at least someone wearing this is aware of what dangers lurk out there and perhaps they are even taking steps to fight said dangers...

Thanks everybody! Here's to fond memories in the school computer lab, jumping at the chance to play a game under the guise of education .

No surprise that Minnesota is one of the top buying states, The Oregon Trail was created there.

Edit: Also, we need a shirt about the awareness of people killing 2000 pounds of meat and only being able to take 150 pounds of it.
