Shirt.Woot

Edit: Thanks, Travis, for clearing up that royal blue blanks are still printing on AA (for now). Muchly appreciated (with apologies for my super-grumpy post).

And that was apparently two derbies I missed Not On My Watch in...glad to discover it here.

Pwned is a collab with kevlar51. His name is not listed. Maybe it can be added so then it will be searchable in the catalog for him as well?

Thanks for the mentions of honor, woot!

No kidding. They just had "The Hungry Igloo" for sale, and the choice was limited to a pullover hoodie or a tote bag because there were no royal blue shirts available. This is so unfair.

Good shirt.woot plus sale. But woot, you got my hopes up that it would include edgar's old crazy dinosaur design ("grrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrr!"). Please consider it for future printing. Thank you.

edit: I don't pay enough attention to be up-to-date on the AA/Anvil blanks drama, and a cursory search didn't help. Anyone care to explain/link? Is woot switching back to AA?

screaming for joy at the print of The 4th Dimension and Not On My Watch. Two excellent designs!

My 6yo daughter wanted "underworld blossom" the minute she saw it in the double-take.
me: "You know it has a skull on it, right?"
her: "Of course it does, it's Persephone in the underworld"
me:"//tear"

Out of courtesy and respect, it should be listed.

Alas, the MoH, along with all the other side sales designs, are not going into the back catalog.

I do hope that changes; as Woot has the printing rights for the year, they should make the most of it, for the benefit of artists and themselves. Last year's will be up in March; we'll see if they offer any additional items between now and then.

Thanks fishbiscuit5 and NarfCake!

On the good news side, Woot has "D" contracts now. Assuming the artist agreed to it, MoH sales now go into the catalog. Basically it's a C contract without the 1-year term.

No cure for the old C contracts at the moment.

WOOTBOT Stated on C-is for Coffee that "She clearly hasn't had enough coffee this morning. Way too calm."

HELLO!! What about us ADD/ADHD people who aren't calm until AFTER we've had our morning cup of Joe????? Clearly they've never seen me first thing in the morning!

I'm in for one (even if it's on creme) :p

Sucky situation. Thanks for the link.

That's weird, I had assumed the side sale shirts would go into the back catalog. Would be nice.

And just in case any staff are looking for ideas, if they do this kind of side sale again, my requests/suggestions:

edgar's dinosaurs

and

Magic Ride
or
Tree Frog

Thanks.

Mentions of honor are put in the catalog after the initial sale, yes? I can't buy now because I need to wait for next month so I don't go over budget.

WootBot needs to learn to round correctly! Pi, rounded to the thousandth, is 3.142 .... NOT 3.141 .... :P

Have you seen what happens when robots are faced with a number 2?!

Not necessarily; it will depend on the contract that was signed. Your safe bet is to purchase now and not count on it being in the catalog later.

tgentry wrote:Hey Kevlar, sorry about the oversight. I added you to the sale bio and will see about getting you another coupon use to get a free copy.

Also, we do plan on approaching our former C contract artists to see about moving them over to D's and into the catalog, but it will be an ongoing project.

Thank you for adding Kevin to the design, Travis!

For anyone who is curious, We did choose the D contract so "Pwned" will be in the catalog when it opens up again.

some fine choices in there editors!

Nice. Glad she liked it! And that I didn't overskull the design...

Budgets are important. That said, I personally prefer screen prints over DTG (which is how the catalog versions will be printed).
Plus it's cheaper right now ...butbudgetimportant...fiscality.

I. LOVE. this design. http://shirt.woot.com/offers/underworld-blossom It annoys me though that there isn't a hoodie version of it.

Clearly, WootBot isn't much of a drinker. It's Myers's Rum:

Wow, I want tacos for dinner now. Thanks, Tacobow.

I feel that the designer of "Dare to Keep Your Kids Off Cauliflower" made a poor choice in giving the cauliflower a sad face. Normally, I'd be super supportive of illegalizing cauliflower! But the face not only humanizes it for me, it also makes me feel kinda bad for the little guy. It's not his fault he tastes bad.

Now, if it had an evil face (ala >:D ) then that would be a whole 'nother story. It should probably be kicking a puppy as well.

Because even though cauliflower isn't that bad by itself, it's a gateway vegetable. Soon kids end up at roadside stands, trying to score some fresh brussels sprouts. And that's the hard stuff.

It's a joke.

Thank you SO much for printing Underworld Blossom and C is for Coffee. I've wanted those shirt since they first came up! THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I don't understand your meaning clearly,can you explain more easy to understand? thank you so much!

Please Please Please print the "4 Corgis of the Apocalypse" the next time you do a Mention of Honor! I would place multiple orders, so that I could have that shirt forever!

bbvane wrote:I don't understand your meaning clearly,can you explain more easy to understand? thank you so much!

The joke is that cauliflower is one of the classic vegetables that kids tend to hate. The design is a parody of the "pro cannabis" shirts that usually have a pot leaf and say "Legalize it". Some kids and possibly adults might want to illegalize cauliflower because they think it is yucky. I hope that explains it.

Myers is one of those names that has so many variations nobody ever gets it right. ;)

thank you so much.I understand the design's True intent.you are so nice

EDIT: Once again, Ochopika saves the day. Thank you!

Also thank you to Neuro for her plan B which I thankfully didn't have to use.



Fun fact: no one from Wyoming has purchased a shirt from this sale, further proof that there is no Wyoming.

rasabi wrote:I need help from an artist !

I ran out of town before grabbing a copy of my shirt and now I don't have access to my e-mail. Can a fellow Mentions of Honor side sale artist PM me the coupon code?

If no one sends you the coupon code, order anyway and email support@wootdotcom when you get home, giving them your artist coupon code and asking if it can be retrospectively applied to your order. It's not ideal, but they've done it for me in the past with non-artist coupons when I had to return something purchased with a coupon (refund for what I paid, coupon credit applied to a recent order).

(Fellow wooters, please don't drive Support crazy by doing this often, but they have the ability to do it if necessary.)

I wanted one of the Underworld Blossom shirts! I missed it by one day! Bring it back please please please if only for a day!

Woot! Please please please repeat this event! Same shirts, adding some more! Pleeeeeaase!
