Screenprint Sundays rankings
13So, I made a spreadsheet to rank the Screenprint Sundays.
Screenprint Sunday by the numbers
A few caveats:
- I’m ignoring the cost difference between the “normal” shirts and the larger sizes, since I have no idea how many of the more expensive shirts were sold.
- To get the breakdowns of Meh-branded and Mediocre-branded sales, I have to measure angles on the screen like an animal. Which would be totally unnecessary if Meh would only spell out the percentages behind the “Which items are you buying?” graphs, dammit.
- For that reasons and others, I’m compiling the data by hand — don’t expect MehStalker levels of automation here. In other words, it’s a very mediocre spreadsheet.
- The rankings are based on dollar sales, not the quantity sold.
- It’s crying out for some kind of analysis of the value of Meh/Mediocre-branded merchandise vs generic, but I don’t have a clue how to do that.
- I’m not counting shirts sold in the Meh-rathon, though I might change my stance if I ever win a motherfreaking IRK. (Read: “never in a million years.”)
- I do count non-shirt items, as long as it’s a Screenprint Sunday.

Thank you for taking on the job of tracking
wootmeh shirts!(For those who don’t know, for over a year at shirt.woot, I tracked the sales of the every shirt in the reckoning every night.)
Add a checkbox column for “Meh branded” items
@ELUNO
I think the checkbox columns only make sense if they apply to all of the options for sale. As it is, I’ll have a problem when we have both catshirts and non-catshirts, or a shirt and a non-shirt. (But I’m all set for non-shirt cats.)
Knowing Meh, they’ll do their best to throw the spreadsheet into chaos. I mean, look — we have a karaoke machine for today’s Screenprint Sunday, of all things. It threw me off enough that I almost forgot to click Meh.
I don’t feel obligated to put it on the spreadsheet, though.
This is cool!

Awesome!
/giphy who cares
@medz
If you were a T-shirt, you’d care. Not my fault that you’re just another human. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, not your fault either. We have a goat for that.
@medz @TheFLP I care. Good enough?
I have a couple of the stealth ones… One I think I received due to being VMP at the time. The second I purchased.
I just don’t wear t-shirts very often and if I do, they’re not graphic tees.
I love my meh branded travel coffee mug… Use it daily when at work.
The best meh thing though was the “mediocre” socks. They were very comfortable. I wish I knew where they went, I’ve lost mine (or someone stole them).
@OnionSoup
Check the wormhole port in the back of the dryer. You’ll probably find someone else’s Meh socks.
It’s Sunday
there is no screenprint
@Cerridwyn Blame the goat!
I’m also blaming the goat that it’s been shorts and t-shirt weather these few days. Winter in SoCal is soooo harsh.
@narfcake
I know right?
Down right miserable that we can’t wear tank tops
@Cerridwyn @narfcake Hey, I can wear tank tops and shorts. I would just be very cold.
@narfcake @sammydog01
we hit 76 today
Looks like rain coming
well to hell with image
won’t keep the cropping
Two Sundays in a row without screenprinting since I publicized this spreadsheet. They’re messing with our heads.
@TheFLP The lack of shirts is your fault then.
@sammydog01 I’ll unblame @TheFLP if there’s a catshirt in the future, though.
@narfcake @sammydog01
Wait a minute. Isn’t that a violation of the Goat Directive?

@TheFLP The unblame will be banked for possible future use.
DUH. Just realized that I am ranking them by quantity sold. Otherwise the fleece blankets would be at #1, and the blank shirts would fall way down the rankings.
And trying to rank them by dollar amounts breaks it.
Still not my fault.
If screenprint Sundays continue, use view-source on the page and search the source for itemGraphData. The raw numbers are there.

@djslack
Silly me, I didn’t think to look for clues in the javascript. (Because a part of me still thinks JS is evil and bad for your hairline.)
