2018 Shirt.Woot Derby Thread (part 3)

@mehbee

@ACraigL gotcha

(just bumping this above the part 2 thread to avoid confusion)

@ACraigL Gotcha. Mobius this will wend its way to the top.

@ACraigL Voted, gotta say, y’all outdid yourselves this derby. Lots of great shirts

@ACraigL Got it (plus @jasneko’s from the other thread).

@OldCatLady Star for the pun!

@jasneko Voted!

@jasneko

/wootstalker https://shirt.woot.com/offers/this-is-america

This is America
Price: $15.00
Condition: Probably New

@narfcake Nice!! Thanks for posting!

@Spiritgreen Voted! What are the new color rules?

@sammydog01 @Spiritgreen

S.L.A.T.E.

@Spiritgreen

(Https embeds don’t really play nicely with the forum.)

@PlacidPenguin @Spiritgreen What the hell?
It must be a wOOt items sold map, because the Eastern Shore of Maryland doesn’t exist here either. No love for east of the Chesapeake…hmpf!

@mfladd @Spiritgreen

That’s because much like “Kansas”, there is nothing to the east of the Chesapeake.

@PlacidPenguin @Spiritgreen No crabs for you!

@Spiritgreen Totally amazing right?! Yet I found myself still sticking to under 6 … conditioning!! hehe.

@ACraigL

@therealjrn Out of how many?

@mehbee

@ACraigL I don’t want random people reading my chest for that long but I voted. It should be a beach towel.

@ACraigL done!

@sammydog01 Totally get it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ACraigL Voted

@ACraigL @sammydog01 It would make an awesome beach towel
You’re so smart

@jasneko

@jasneko voted!

@jasneko I love your colors!

@jasneko gotem both-nice

@sammydog01 Thanks sammy, that’s great to hear because I was debating the colors a bit for these! Which one do you like the colors on?

@jasneko Voted for both

@jasneko I like that you used those color shirts and the blue one looks especially good with the turtle and orange board.

@sammydog01 Thanks!

@ACraigL Yes, it did, and mine arrived yesterday. Very, very nice indeed. You do good work.

@OldCatLady Glad you liked it! Sold pretty well, too!

@ACraigL @OldCatLady Could you take a photo of it? I’m very much interested in how something this extremely smooth printed with their new printing press tech.

@NiteMareFuel @OldCatLady
Pretty smooth. Room lighting was soft so it’s actually more white than it’s showing. Red is not as deep as I intended (at least my copy isn’t), but otherwise I’m pretty happy with the print.

@ACraigL @OldCatLady That looks pretty dern nice, I must say. Impressive!

@ACraigL @NiteMareFuel

@NiteMareFuel Got it!

@mehbee

@ACraigL The stripe- just no. And voted.

@sammydog01 Haha, then it’s doing its job, yay! Thanks sammy!

@ACraigL Voted! There were several that I liked this time. I love the I Obsess Over Fictional Characters, and World’s Biggest ____________ Fan. I hope you get first place and then Zombies are People too places, along with the I Obsess.

@mehbee

@jasneko Got it! (cute!)

@jasneko Got it. Now I have an earworm. ‘Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor, me and little brother would join right in there…’

@OldCatLady Thanks! I think that pretty much invokes the feeling I had when making these critters.

@PlacidPenguin Penguin!

@mfladd @jasneko @narfcake

@jasneko I like it!

@jasneko Voted

@Barney

Does your purple detection filter need to be checked?

@jasneko I don’t get it. Am I supposed to get it? Anyway it’s really cute. Voted.

@jasneko @sammydog01 Think Muppets.

@jasneko @narfcake Got it. Nice!

@jasneko Voted

@ACraigL Good luck!!

@mehbee

@ACraigL

@ACraigL Voted, love both!!

@mehbee

@ACraigL Got them.

@ACraigL Don’t lose! You’re a winner, but money proving it is nice to have.

@OldCatLady Best thing I’ve heard all week. Thank you!

@ACraigL I gotcha on both.

@mfladd @OldCatLady Aaaaand… I lost by 4. Bummer. Hopefully we’ll see them tomorrow in the side sale.
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/archive/662/tribes?derbyNumber=662&sort=votes

@ACraigL Looks like you beat a dooomcat shirt. That’s gotta feel good.

@narfcake Hey nice! It came out just how I wanted. And it was such a tight contest too, in a different week it might have been a winner. Thanks for picking one up

@Spiritgreen Yeah, that’s about the tightest derby that I recall.

Only one tighter was Reckoning 237, back in a time when a 1500+ seller couldn’t even make it out from 27th place.

@tnhillbillygal Awesome! Do you have Max’s Chocolate coating too?
/wootstalker https://shirt.woot.com/offers/maxs-chocolate-coating

Max’s Chocolate Coating
Price: $19.00
Condition: Probably New

@ACraigL I was very concerned when I saw you entered in a kid-friendly derby but you did good.

@ACraigL gotcha–nice work

@sammydog01 Haha, yeah this was outside my normal thing for sure. I kinda stuck to the kid-friendly theme, but I think they’re still adult designs (which was intentional because adults vote and buy).

@kevlar51 I harnessed my inner Kevlar for the s’mores design.

@mehbee

@ACraigL Those eyes nail the melancholy of it all.

@narfcake i have a similar look in my eyes right now.

@ACraigL Oh my goodness, I love both of these for kids but I hope the top one wins! It’s an excellent shirt with a sweet message.

@ACraigL @sammydog01 I wasn’t worried. Didn’t you see his great drawing of his hand turkey? Just precious.

@mehbee Prepare for disappointment (I’m still bitter).

Re: Toys Were Us

Howdy, @acraigl. We really like this design, but wanted to give you fair warning that these guys have come after us before and we've had to take down similar designs. We don't mind keeping it in the derby and keeping it in contention for the Editor's Choice sale, but we won't be able to run this as a daily, even if it places.

@ACraigL You have got to be kidding me! I mean I understand if the design was really close but this is an homage to them. I mean do they have a patent on backwards facing Rs?? I am already bitter…lol… but it better be in the editor’s choice sale.

@mehbee Yeah, it seems like they’re riding a pretty hard line on this one, but at least they let me know. I think/hope it will do OK in a side sale, so I’m going to let it ride.

What I don’t really get is why it can be in a side sale, but not featured. Maybe less exposure? Dunno, but it feels like it’s an all-or-nothing decision and yet they’re ok in the middle?

@ACraigL I said the exact same thing to my husband a bit ago. I was like, why are they allowing it in one sale but not another? He said the same thing, maybe it’s less of a chance they will see it. All I can think is that they really like the design and want to sell it but hope to lessen the chance of it causing a headache for them. But what do I know, I’ve never run a business in my life.

@mehbee I’m sure your ministry keeps you busy though.

@therealjrn It really does, but it’s a labor of love!

@ACraigL 635AM…shirt purchased

@mehbee Awesome! I’m really pleased this got to run given the overwhelming sentiment for it. Even with the change, I think it still works.
(I’m getting mine tomorrow)

@ACraigL It does still work and I think it will do well. I’m very disappointed in the change though. If a company would really go after something like this paying tribute, then they deserve what they got. If I had never seen the original, I think I would have still been excited about this one. What’s funny is that I am NOT a morning person. If I had not gone to the comments, I wouldn’t even have known about the change. I can barely see when I get up at 8a…ha. I’m very happy for you, that’s two in what a week? I wanted to get the sarcasm one because I do love me some sarcasm, but I knew this one might be coming so I waited. I don’t get as many shirts since they raised the prices.

If a company would really go after something like this paying tribute, then they deserve what they got.

@ACraigL @mehbee I think it’s really more a case of enforcing what you have. And although it pays tribute, it doesn’t pay the actual owners of the IP.

@mehbee
@placidpenguin posted the original design in the sale thread. Numbers are pretty strong right now, but hoping people don’t get turned off by seeing “what could have been.”

@ACraigL Love the Toys were us shirt! Sorry the design had to be changed but the new one is just a smidge less fantastic. Great job!

@ACraigL

You want me to remove it?

@PlacidPenguin Nah, its already been quoted anyway. Besides, it shows i didnt miss the obvious connection.

Doesn’t appear sales are suffering in any way either… should be a strong debut!

@jasneko Cute as usual! The link on the intergalactic one didn’t work for me so I looked it up at Woot.

@jasneko gottem all!

@jasneko @sammydog01 Fixed the link.

@jasneko Voted all! You’ve been busy!

@jasneko Those are really cute. I have 8 grandkids with 4 of them under 10, so I like this derby.

@kevlar51 - Much thanks kevlar!
@sammydog01 - Thanks and especially thanks for looking it up sammy!
@narfcake Oh nice, are you a moderator here too? I didn’t even realize Thanks!
@acraigl - heh well a few are old designs reworked (or in one case, not reworked!).
@mehbee Thank you! Yes perfect derby for you - me too, a lot of my stuff veers kid-friendly

@jasneko @mehbee Kid friendly and devoid of IP references too.

And yes, I vol.mod here too. I’ll still feel this way at times, though:

https://www.teeturtle.com/products/my-powers-are-useless

@jasneko @narfcake I feel that way all the time! But kittens and puppies make it better! I had to sound “not with it” but what does IP mean?

@jasneko @mehbee @narfcake Intellectual Property. You know, the thing I stole.

@ACraigL @jasneko @narfcake LOL…whatever, I thought it was a very sweet gesture to make a shirt like that.

I do overdraw sometimes when a looser style would be more fun - but hey, if nothing else I’m happy with this little doofus of a squirtle. Any votes are much appreciated.

@Spiritgreen Sorry I’m late to the game… I do like your little squirtle, though I think in general I prefer your looser/more casual style. What tools/programs do you usually draw in btw? Just curious:)

@jasneko Hey jas’ thanks for replying. I use Photoshop and also Clip Studio Paint which makes nice lines. I was drawing with a crunchy brush here but it was so small you can’t really tell! It ended up looking too formal. Needs more fun. : )

@Spiritgreen I think the biggest issue is shirt.woot’s audience. The ones who grew up on Pokemon and best relate to this have mostly gone elsewhere.

Personally, I’m fine with all your styles – which probably explains why I’m north of 60 70 with your designs.

@narfcake thank you for keeping the lights on at Spiritgreen HQ! And hey, owning 70 of my tees makes you look like a man of eclectic taste, so it’s totally worth it. =p

@jasneko What about Fluff for a threesome?

@jasneko Voted! (I’m out this derby.) Good luck!

@jasneko gotcha

@jasneko Voted. I can’t get the second link to work. Maybe it’s me.

@sammydog01 It’s not you–it resolves to http:///

@jasneko @sammydog01 @therealjrn It’s fixed now.

@mfladd Heh this was redone from a design I made ages ago… not fluff but a banana, and jelly wasn’t happy.

@jasneko Aww, they’re so happy!

@narfcake Is that just the photo or is the red really streaky? My copy looked good, just the reds got a little too similar (should be lighter near the right edge and face) but otherwise OK.

@ACraigL Just the photo; the flash was on when I took it last night. It looks fine IRL.

Forgot to also post this @Spiritgreen shirt:

@ACraigL got’em

@ACraigL voted! And I’m awesome and happy and that’s no sarcasm if you know what I mean!

@ACraigL Oh and I’ve gotten several comments on my Never Forget shirt, all good

@mehbee Yay! Glad it worked out.
Mine turned out really well, like better than the preview. Looks almost like a Urban Outfitters graphic tee. I’m pleased. Just wish more people bought it.

@ACraigL Voted.

@kevlar51 That’s awesome. +1

@kevlar51 voted

@Spiritgreen done!

@Spiritgreen voted

ThAnKYoU!

@Spiritgreen Voted. So cute spirit!!

@Spiritgreen Aww! Voted.

@sammydog01 thanks sammy!

@taternuggets @Ignorant Something something getting it something.

Also, they’ve printed @ACraigL’s frostbitten hand turkey, so there’s precedence on its allowance.

@ACraigL @Ignorant @narfcake I was counting on that. I have an alternative ready to go if they reject early… but I prefer this one.

@ACraigL @Ignorant @narfcake @taternuggets Last November I didn’t have my clothes washer hooked up yet so my daughter took my laundry in. My frostbitten hand turkey shirt seemed to “disappear” somehow over there so I had to order another one when they had that 2-fer sale (or whatever it was)

/Some folks just don’t know classy style when they see it…

@ACraigL @taternuggets Alas, I can’t do QPs for derby comments.

@narfcake @taternuggets It’s the thought that counts.

@ACraigL @narfcake lol thanks… although after seeing his third (currently unrejected) entry… I’m probably in internet danger. Remember this guy if I suddenly drop off the grid.

@taternuggets I wept over its beauty

@taternuggets OMG…hahahaha. Luv!
“There Can Be Only One”

@taternuggets haha! I love it. Voted

@taternuggets Thanks everyone.

@taternuggets did you win?

@taternuggets Love it- voted.

@ACraigL @narfcake @taternuggets I don’t know why they bothered to reject either of those- it’s not like they were going to get votes. Except maybe in Paris.

@ACraigL @sammydog01 @taternuggets
The rejectionator often has an issue of NOT enforcing the rules – which is a slap to those who do play by the rules.

A problem with allowing such designs to stay is that it sends a message to others that such is allowed.

@narfcake Did those shirts actually break rules or were they just crap? I get that a lot of entries are rip-offs of other shirts but did that apply to these ones?

@sammydog01 Thanks!

@ACraigL @narfcake @sammydog01 I think the bigger problem with the derby these days is the turning of a blind eye to people creating accounts for shill voting. woot really needs to return to some sort of voter verification or there is little point for artists to continue. It’s way too easy to game the system now. There is one entry this week in particular that has a fantastic ability to bring in brand new voters. The accounts all having their very first forum comment on the design is quite a coincidence.

@narfcake @sammydog01 @taternuggets
I’ve discussed this at length with the staff. They feel like it’s OK to have an outside artist bring in followers as that adds exposure to the site. I don’t necessarily disagree with that, but they do need to police for new/fake accounts. The problem is they don’t have the sophistication/technology in place to discern between accounts created to boost votes vs new accounts that are legitimately voting. They can only tell if accounts are coming from the same IP address – that’s their only tip off to fraud.

I think they need to move away from votes alone deciding winners. Other factors should be taken into account. It’s clear when a inferior design has more votes, but there’s no way to prevent them from winning unless they change something.

Is the t-shirt made by yourself?

@jasneko One world. Lovely take on the theme, jas’.

@jasneko voted. Really nice!

@jasneko Voted

@Spiritgreen Thank you! This one has multiple special meanings to me.
@ACraigL @mehbee - much thanks!

@jasneko Beautiful!

@sammydog01 Thank you Sammy!

@jasneko Voted, and if it prints I’m getting one. This is special.

@OldCatLady Thank you, I appreciate you saying so!

@mehbee

Y U NO LIKE ANIME?

@ACraigL I gotchu.

@ACraigL Voted and Voted…good luck!

@therealjrn @mehbee Thanks guys!

@ACraigL gotcha–sorry i’m a bit late to the party

@kevlar51 Thanks man! I’ve been wondering where everyone is. Hello? Is this thing on???

TimeSuck was rejected for a reason I don’t quite understand, but we may see that one in print through another vehicle. Stay tuned!

@ACraigL “and no characters from actual Anime/Manga franchises” I suppose there is an actual character inside the pokeball? Or is the ball a character itself?

@medz That was my point. If the ball is considered a character (I don’t think it is, IMO), then why reject it for involves an existing franchise., which was not stated as a derby rule. Unless I’m blind or more confused than normal.

@ACraigL @medz Could it be that the ball is copyrighted? That ball is used in many ways and is licensed out for toys and such.
Flip the white on top and red for the bottom

@medz @mfladd No, it’s been used before. This just caught in the dramz of derby rule interpretation. It’s going to print, so it’s all good.

@ACraigL I voted for the one that didn’t get bounced.

@sammydog01 Thanks Sammy! It’s a really low-scoring derby this round. Every vote really matters. Appreciate the support!

@narfcake Awesome! I got to order mine (had to wait for the side sale).
In other news, Toys Were Us is #1! Woo!!!

What’s the problem? Standard medical condition.

Also, for the record, it was my wife’s idea. For real. And she approved the outcome.

@mehbee

@ACraigL @sammydog01 I was thinking the same thing…lol…but it made me giggle out loud!

@ACraigL Voted with a grin on my face

@mehbee That was the desired effect. Thanks!

@jasneko Is that Cthulhu? Love it.

@jasneko gotcha

@jasneko Got 'em all jas.

@jasneko Voted for all 3. And they’re all up there, too. Along with the CT shirt from @acraigl.

@sammydog01 Yes it is. Thank you!
@OldCatLady Thanks! I saw they were up there - totally surprised me (haven’t had much luck lately). Now if only they can stay there… hoping!!

@jasneko I voted for all three. I had to laugh at the first one. My best friend and her husband stopped by this weekend and had their grandson with them. He was WILD after being in the car for a long time. He happen to notice I had a big bag of balloons so of course I gave him a couple. At one point he was playing hit the balloon with us in the living room and it fell down and hit my Chihuahua (mix) on the head. The look on his face was hysterical, much more What the heck, than I am going to hunt you down of your cat…and it was a red balloon. Ok that was a very long story about nothing but I thought I’d share.

@mehbee Thanks! And I can imagine, animal expressions can be soo comical!! hehe.

@jasneko Comical, annoyed, disdainful, pathetic…they can definitely let you know what they are feeling

@ACraigL gotcha

@ACraigL I like this derby. Voted.

@ACraigL These are great!

@mehbee

@ACraigL you’re in a naughty mood this week, aren’t you!

@ACraigL Voted!

@mehbee we were supposed to for this one. Just following the rules!

@ACraigL Got ya.

@ACraigL That’s your story and you’re sticking to it, right?

@mehbee Sure. Sometimes planets just align and it’s it’s magic.

@ACraigL I love it when a plan comes together! I sure miss the A-Team

@marcee I love you! That design too.

@marcee My best friend and her husband say this all the time. I’d love to get it for her! I’d vote either way but I’m voting with purpose on this one!

@marcee voted!

@marcee Got ya.

@ACraigL shudder!!

@mehbee

@jasneko be afraid. be very afraid.

gratuitous bump

@ACraigL Got it. Scary!

@ACraigL I voted, because it would be fun to wear around Halloween.

@OldCatLady Ha! Hadn’t thought of that. I was going for the Monty Python and the Holy Grail thing, but I suppose it could stand on its own.

You did make me think of a GitD design I did a few Halloweens ago in a similar style:

@narfcake heyyy, came out alright, huh? Thanks Narf’!

@ACraigL Got it. I’m pretty Meh about the show. The shirt is cool though.

@sammydog01 Thanks!

@mehbee

@ACraigL Is that an homage to that show with the nerds? I don’t watch it because I find it to be a one-joke theme. But I lovelovelove the colors in your shirt. I suppose I’ll go vote, sir.

@ACraigL @therealjrn As I see it, yes.

(Shirt.woot sales are going to be even lower now, as a handful were seen on the show.)

@ACraigL done.

@therealjrn yep, The Big Bang Theory. Current season, 12, is the last.

@ACraigL Voted. I love that show! It will be very sad when it’s over but there are only so many nerd stories you can come up with, but it’s been a great show.

@therealjrn Well I definitely think it is a good thing to support the artist, but the voting button does not say I’d buy that, but rather I’d want that…and I want almost all of @ACraigL’s shirts. I know that is probably semantics but it’s enough to make me feel ok with it. On top of that, I look at all the shirts when I go to the derby and I vote for others that I would want also. I am very fair about it in my opinion so I’m good with it.

@therealjrn I’ve always looked at it as “I’d Want One” meaning, it’s something I’d potentially want; I like the design, execution, colors, humor, etc, but not necessarily something I WILL buy. It’s not a commitment.

I’ve petitioned for better wording, even something simple as “Vote for this design” which is all it really amounts to.

@therealjrn I have the same feeling. Then I get all passive agressive to the world and say fuck it, I’ll break a rule. I’m a maverick.

@therealjrn Over the years I’ve voted or participated in something just for the simple fact that my friends have asked me to…I’ve voted for their children in photo contests even if they might not have been the prettiest, I’ve supported their cause even if I didn’t feel strongly about it (unless I truly felt strongly against against it), I’ve liked their business facebook pages even when I have no intention of using their services. I buy candy bars and candles I don’t need or want because I want my friends’ children to succeed in their fundraisers and hope one day they might do the same for me. Unless something truly offends you, I see no reason not to support your friends in their ventures. I also consider Karma. If, one day, I need something (truly, and not just votes for a silly shirt) - I hope that all the good vibes I’ve put out into the world will come back to me.

Thanks @marcee! I do all those things, so I’m OK now.

@narfcake whoo hoo!

@narfcake @therealjrn Yay! Thanks guys! Definitely not expected (it never is, but still).

@ACraigL Got them.

@mehbee

@ACraigL ooh the second one looks great!! Very retro and well designed. Did you create that lettering?

@ACraigL You got it. I too, like that retro shirt.

@jasneko Thanks! Didn’t create. Modified a bit to get it to do what I wanted.

Thanks guys!!!

I posted a close-up in of the fox and skull in the shirt thread, here it is, as well:

@ACraigL Nice. Now I don’t know which one I like more.

@therealjrn Well, the people have spoken, they like Retro Sci-Fi more. (Fox & Skull fell out of the fog today)

@ACraigL I had to think about Fox & Skull a bit before it spoke to me. I think it might have had legs at a different time…

@ACraigL First! And ‘beershirt’ worked just fine.

@ACraigL @OldCatLady Worked here too! Just for giggles, I tried ‘BEERSHIRT’ on the wall art and the journals…no dice.

@ACraigL @narfcake

Dear therealjrn,
Woot here regarding your recent order for the ‘Retro SciFi’ shirt. We noticed that we accidentally posted pictures of this shirt on a black background, while this shirt will actually be printed on a brown tee. Sorry about that! You can see what your shirt will actually look like using the link below.

You should receive this shirt in the next couple days. If brown just doesn’t quite do it for you, we’ll be happy to refund you for this order. You can reach us by either filling out the support form on our site or by emailing support@woot.com
Thanks for understanding,
Woot

@narfcake @therealjrn Yep, they screwed up the blank when it launched. Good to know they let those that got in early know. Hope they’re not disappointed with the color change.

@jasneko You got it.

@jasneko voted!

@jasneko Yes. It’s a novel take, just when I thought I’d seen every possible mashup.

@OldCatLady Heh, thank you!

@jasneko Voted! Y’know if this has been your Sabertooth Can Haz Cheezburger he would have been down with it because Vulcans have pet sehlats, which are basically that!

@ACraigL Got it.

@ACraigL groovy!

@ACraigL Yeah baby

@ACraigL I love it…Voted!! I’m surprised there weren’t more I loved, only a few.

@mehbee It’s not a huge turnout submission-wise. I don’t think the theme resonated with a lot of the other artists.

@ACraigL That’s too bad, I love medieval times. I’ll take quality over quantity anytime though

And thanks @sammydog01 @ACraigL @mehbee @therealjrn for already doing so

@jasneko I already voted. I want this to print!

@OldCatLady Thanks so much! Share with others if you want it to print - every vote counts!!

@therealjrn Thanks for posting! I forgot to do that when it launched. Looking forward to getting mine!

@jasneko Oakalee Doakalee

@jasneko gotcha

@jasneko I love that! So classic. If they print it on 25% off day I’ll buy one.

@jasneko voted!

@sammydog01 Thank you! They actually should be printing it in a side sale tomorrow, not sure if there will be any coupon codes though.

@jasneko Yay! I just bought way too many glow shirts though- I need to take a break. (Meh ones too.)

@ACraigL Gotcha

@ACraigL Got 'em.

@mehbee

@ACraigL done!

@ACraigL Voted.

@ACraigL Done!

Last day to vote! Hoping big hope for Buffy, so if you haven’t yet voted and would care to, I would appreciate it! And thanks to those that already did.
Fingers crossed!

@Spiritgreen Gotta believe you’re placing with 'house. It’s great. And the Trompe-l’œil on the ghost pocket. Wowsers.

@Spiritgreen I love the top one! ( I own your haunted ship shirt.)

@Spiritgreen Gotcha

@ACraigL thanks Andy! I love your Buffy design this week in particular. Hallowoot is the best and least predictable derby of the year but I wish us both luck. : )

@sammydog01 shipmates, cool! That one took me literally two weeks to finish. I’m still not sure -how- it took so long, but somehow it did. They take more planning than you’d think although I drew the original shirt, Haunted Housework, in 24 hours back when that was all you had from the theme being announced to the contest starting. Whew those were not the days!

@therealjrn hey, thanks so much!

@Spiritgreen Thanks for saying so. I worked my ass off on that Buffy design, and I’m pretty proud of it. It’s really for my daughter so I’ll be OK if it prints in a side sale but I not-so-secretly wish for better.

Good luck to you too!

@Spiritgreen I had to pick between haunted housework and shipmates. The drunken ghost was the deciding factor.

@Spiritgreen Voted

@mehbee thanks! Much appreciated ^_^

@sammydog01 It’s funny to hear that because someone once messaged me they couldn’t buy that shirt specifically because of the drunken ghost. Good to know it all evens out.

@ACralgL Congrats!

@narfcake Thanks for the mention.
I’m hand-wringing so much over the possibility of a Buffy win, I forgot to post. My daughter and I are huge fans, so it would be an enormous victory for us (let alone placing in a Halloween derby).

@narfcake @Kevlar51 Yay!

@narfcake thanks!

@narfcake I promised to buy one if they had a deal and I did! I’m pretty excited about this!

@narfcake @sammydog01 So pleased this made it! It should print bigger on the shirt than the way it’s being shown (it’s a full size design).

@narfcake @spiritgreen Mine arrived today, and it’s magnificent. What is the logo on the red cap of the ghost, upper right?

@OldCatLady Mine too! Is it a conductor’s cap?

@OldCatLady @sammydog01 yes it’s a train conductor’s cap! Thanks so much for picking up the shirt, hope you enjoy it.

@Spiritgreen

@narfcake hey, that looks alright. Glad you liked it enough to nab one. Thanks! Is the print a good size?

Glad you liked it enough to nab two.

@Spiritgreen Corrected. And the print size is just fine.

@Spiritgreen
/image vote early and often

@Spiritgreen Wooters still like their cute.

I will say your Wednesday submission to first place is still the biggest derby achievement.

@narfcake this guy! : https://shirt.woot.com/offers/after-the-party

@therealjrn Thanks for the shout-out! SO excited that this printed, let alone was featured. Yay!

EDIT: Nice referral code!

@ACraigL I really like the anchor one!

@sammydog01 Thanks!

@mehbee

@ACraigL gotcha

@ACraigL Ohkay.

@ACraigL Excellent submissions, voted!! In full transparency, I absolutely LOVE this derby and I voted for several shirts. A lot probably won’t come anywhere near the Fog but yours is the only one in the Fog that got my vote. The buffering one is one I relate to very personally.

@mehbee Awesome! Thanks!

@ACraigL done!

@mehbee

@ACraigL Done! Excellent job

@ACraigL Got them.

@sammydog01 Woo hoo! Thanks! Not expected, but pleasantly surprised this morning!

@sammydog01 ACraigL Its appeal is universal. So are the words everybody says when they see it. Congratulations!

@sammydog01 Does anyone know of a coupon code to use today? The 35% one is dead.

@jasneko Aww, so cute!

@jasneko voted!

@jasneko Gotcha. It’s cute, and it’s blue, and I want it.

@sammydog01 @ACraigL @OldCatLady Much thanks! I’m thinking I probably entered it way too late… oh well!

@jasneko Catshirt!
