Get yer Wootshirts!
9In case you haven’t heard, it’s shirt.woot’s birthday, and they’re offering free shipping and $10 off any order $20 or more, for as many orders as you want. They also have some curated lists including one from our very own @narfcake, which inexplicably (I’m ignoring your explanation) has no cat shirts in it.
Anyway, if you’ve been holding out, now’s the time.

I sent some designs to my wife that I thought we should get for the whole family to wear at Disney and she sent me back a profanity-laced text message… Apparently, I’m not allowed to spend money for our vacation while we’re saving money for our vacation…
@medz Your wife makes perfect sense to me.

Ordered this because it sums me up. Morbid and cute things.

@RiotDemon 1800 votes for Grim Optimism … my, has shirt.woot changed …
(No Adder posts either!)
@narfcake no idea what that means.
@RiotDemon Derby votes; that got 1,800 votes. Nowadays, it can take less than 100 votes for first place.
Adder is an ex-Wooter who argued a lot about what designs constituted as art or not. He was highly critical of Ramy because he mostly did cutesy and/or pop-culture stuff – which he had a point, except he was extremely verbose about it and was about as abrasive as shards of glass mixed with broken gravel.
@narfcake I don’t understand people that make it their mission in life to criticize the fuck out of people on the internet.
@RiotDemon My guess is they feel powerless in real life so they try to act big on the internet.
To be fair, I felt that some of Ramy’s art then was indeed “slapped together with little regard to any integrity”, and his many wins, derby after derby, along with his girlfriend then did make him look very suspicious – so suspicious I was tracking sales figures for over a year trying to prove he was cheating to keep his sales up. Well, that actually proved the opposite – he wasn’t manipulating the reckoning (top 20) sales like many suspected. Additionally, one of his designs was 30th place in votes on a double take (aka second chance) derby, but was given an editor’s choice to print. It ended up outselling all the other designs in that derby AND the designs from the derby it originally competed in, which removed any doubt about voters automatically voting him every week for “a guaranteed win”.
@RiotDemon I’m going to have some annoy to look forward to when I get home; the auto-feeder is on the fritz again.

Additional notes:
Last thing I need is more shirts. So I ordered four of them… All shirts I had seen before and considered but didn’t want to spend my money on them. This sale was too good to pass up.
@cinoclav heheh I almost bought myself the last shirt, bought my husband the previous one and considered the second – are you my twin?
@mikibell Well I would’ve been had you bought the shirt!
Being overloaded myself I was only in for 2:
I loved the silliness of this one.
This offering was too rare to pass up. They almost never have the orange blanks.
I bought a clock. Got my discount & free shipping.
Then I went and got another clock. $10 discount and free shipping.
@therealjrn
@KDemo too bad i don’t feed Bezo’s insanity
@therealjrn How many clocks do you really need?
@woodhouse Basically a BOGO.
@therealjrn A clock with a picture of a clock on it feels like a practical joke.
@dave @woodhouse You people just don’t get it do you? I need one clock to check the other clock. Doesn’t anybody know what time it is?
Or mehbe I need a clock for my kitchen, and one for my office. hmmm?
As for the picture of a clock, that clock is precisely correct twice a day!
@therealjrn @dave Are we ignoring the fact that we have a clock made out of clocks on our wall?
How to get the discount?
@RiotDemon It’s automatic; the WOOTPROMO code was already in my checkout since last night.
@RiotDemon It was in my cart as well. I bought so many bear shirts!!!
I purchased them two at a time to get the most out of the discount.
@narfcake thanks!
@ConAndLibrarian what’s so special about the bear shirts?
@RiotDemon I just love bears.

I missed using the coupon. That was an unexpectedly really busy day for me.
Sad. (Not the Presidential “sad”. Just me.)
Haven’t bought anything yet
: (
@f00l If only there was someone to blame this on …
(Sorry!)
@narfcake
I had all these shirts planned to buy, and then things happened that day.
Now feel discouraged from buying anything cause po’ed at self for that and for other reasons.
I suppose that means my bank accounts will be less abused.
@f00l The shirtgoat accepts the additional blame.
