Shirt.Woot Derby Thread 2024 (part 3)

@jasneko I LOVE the haunted houses!
I sure hope they print that one. Although I’m bummed that the colors never show up as bright as in the original designs.

@Kyeh Thanks! I spent a lot of time on that, hoping it gains in traction!!

Which designs haven’t been showing up as bright? I did notice it in one print recently myself… I’ll try to add some more saturation to combat that…

@jasneko Not just yours but some others I’ve gotten. It seems like Woot doesn’t use a very heavy layer of ink or something. I’ll try to find one that disappointed me and post a picture.

@jasneko @Kyeh The haunted house one if my favorite. I’ll keep an eye out for a sale- I already bought one of the $8 shirts.

@jasneko voted. I see that middle one (black cat) has the most votes right now.

Thanks all!

@Kyeh Glad it wasn’t one of mine! But with one of mine recently I did feel like it wasn’t as bright, boo.
@Kidsandliz Yup, seems the meowclipse one is doing the best so far. @sammydog01 The haunted house one took the most work by far, but I also submitted it late in the night so guess it missed the earlier votes. Share it with others if you can!

@jasneko @Kyeh @sammydog01 how do you find the $8 sale

@honeybeehives @jasneko @sammydog01 That sale is over; I don’t think they have a shirt sale today, but maybe soon?

@jasneko
I’m loving this entire DOODLE series, GREAT JOB!

@Kyeh I like it too. Such a dad joke.

@Kyeh @sammydog01 I LOVE MY PUNS

@ACraigL @sammydog01
They’re great!

Ugh, I’m having a morning…

@ACraigL Voted.

@Kidsandliz Yay! Thank you

@jasneko Voted!

What a refreshing lack of Snoopy designs in the mix for once. (I love Snoopy but I’m so tired of seeing him used for an lazy easy vote.)

@Kyeh Thanks!
Yup, I understand… there have been so many lately. too.

@jasneko The “Life (is hard)” design, after being way down low, has been steadily climbing up - passing my other 2 designs, still in the hotness and only 11 votes away from the fog No idea how this happened (I personally would prefer to wear the cats ones of course ), but if you haven’t voted yet, please do vote!

@jasneko !

@sammydog01 Missed it! But glad you caught it - was it on the front page?
PS. Yay Hallodoodle!

@jasneko @sammydog01 It’s on the Wootbusters page.
https://sellout.woot.com/plus/wootbusters-9

@jasneko @narfcake @sammydog01 @acraigl Thanks for that! I used it to get this for my sister’s housemate - she saw me wearing one and LOVED it; I’ve been meaning to get it for her.
THIS is where presents come from - $19.00 - Free shipping https://shirt.woot.com/offers/this-is-where-presents-come-from?utm_medium=share&utm_source=app

@ACraigL @jasneko @Kyeh @narfcake Nice choice!

@ACraigL @jasneko @narfcake @sammydog01

@jasneko @Kyeh @narfcake @sammydog01 That’s a classic, lol

@narfcake Wow! Thanks!

@narfcake Nice!

@jasneko @narfcake I debated putting two $15 shirts in my cart in case they had a $10 coupon notification today. But I have so many shirts. So I got an electric kettle instead.

@jasneko @sammydog01 I tried for the kettle too – but alas, the coupon was used up by the time I got to checkout.

As for shirts, I kind of stocked up using yesterday’s coupon. Under $6 each, they are even cheaper than what some of the thrift stores around here charge.

@jasneko @narfcake @sammydog01 Every time I browse Woot I end up totally aggravated by how hard it is to negotiate that app.

@jasneko @Kyeh @sammydog01 99% of the time, I’m on a browser tab, not the app. The only time I’ll use the app is for an appclusive deal or something.

@jasneko @narfcake @sammydog01 It always shunts me into the app. I should get rid of it.

@Kyeh hey, wait, did you mean to say cushions? Are cushions back? I can’t find them if so:)

@jasneko @Kyeh The shirt says reaper cushions on it, not that they are cushions.

@jasneko The one he just had in the Halloween contest:

@jasneko voted

@jasneko @Kidsandliz Me too

@Kidsandliz @Kyeh Thank you!

@jasneko Oh! I didn’t catch that when I browsed through, quickly - that’s a good one!

@jasneko Voted. The llama is so cute. I’m having a little trouble relating to it though as we head into another week of the 80s here!

@Kyeh Thanks, that’s my favorite too!
Wow 80s - which area are you located?

@jasneko Colorado! Ridiculous for October.

@Kyeh Whoa!! Eep.

@jasneko @Kyeh The llama is my favorite too. But they’re all great.

@jasneko Voted. Shouldn’t that be Purrito?

@Kyeh Haha I went back and forth if I should call it that, but then I liked the Cozy Cat similar sounded better, and then saying Cozy Cat Purrito somehow sounded strange

@Kyeh I have no explanation, though Google says this:

@narfcake Hah - it’s even weirder now. Thanks …
It’s kind of impressive that Google translated all of it!

@ACraigL Voted, Want.

@ACraigL Love it.

@werehatrack @sammydog01 thanks!!!

@jasneko Entered one more late one:

https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/137519/honest-rsvp

@jasneko Sorry I missed the post on these, they’re great. Especially the rsvp one.

@sammydog01 No worries, they were in the middle of the group anyway. Heh thanks, the RSVP one was a last minute addition.

@ACraigL The toucan is amusing but anatomically absurd.

@werehatrack What? just because his head is on backwards? I figured we weren’t really dealing with realism in the first place

@jasneko It looks like your favorite meal is breakfast!

@Kyeh haha I do think it’s a good one, and one I shouldn’t forget

@ACraigL Congratulations !!!

@jasneko Yay! Thanks for the heads-up.

@jasneko That’s my favorite! I hope it gets printed as an editor’s choice.

@Kyeh Thank you! It took a while but was really fun, happy with how it turned out! It’s still in the hotness right now, hoping it gets some more votes and gets up higher

@ACraigL Ohhh, that’s hilarious. Next year’s present for my sister’s housemate, I’m thinking!
(This year she’s getting the present-pooping Christmas tree.)

@ACraigL @Kyeh I sense a new classic in the making.

@Kyeh @sammydog01 That would be wonderful. I keep trying to ruin holidays one shirt at a time.

@jasneko Finished up the last one, thanks in advance for any votes!

@jasneko I really like the colors on this one.

@sammydog01 Thank you!! When I tried that blue-green color, I was like !!!

@narfcake Thanks Narf!

@ACraigL @narfcake I would love to hear how sales go.

@narfcake @sammydog01 I would say better than typical sales this time of year? Close to 100 sold so far and west coast is just getting started. Anything over 200 is considered a good day now, so I should achieve that pretty handily.

@jasneko I would have missed this, thanks. Sorry you didn’t have any cat shirts in there but I did pick up @ACraigL’s lovely child crafted thanksgiving shirt and his cute penguin one with something about ice holes.

@ACraigL @jasneko @sammydog01 Likewise, I didn’t even realize there was a sale! Do I need more shirts? Of course not! Did I buy some more anyway?

/8ball
Without a doubt

@sammydog01 I always seem to forget to mention the random sales but I will make a mental note to do that. You’re not the only one that got a turkey this year… sold well and continues to be perennial favorite.

@jasneko Voted! Of course I especially love the cat ones.

@Kyeh Thank you!

@jasneko @Kyeh Btw if you (or anyone else) is interested to see, I posted a video of the process of making “All the Cats (top design)”:
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2281235368923414

@ACraigL That’s an adorable cat shirt!

@sammydog01 I’m not even aware of that sale, thanks.

@ACraigL @sammydog01 Not Prime specific; it’s actually open to everyone.
https://forums.woot.com/t/top-20-shirts-are-8-each-november-18-november-19-2024/1853105/

@ACraigL @narfcake Maybe that’s where I saw it, it’s not in an email that I could find or on the shirt page. I don’t understand their marketing.

@ACraigL @narfcake @sammydog01 I agree, they make it so difficult to find these sales.

@ACraigL @Kyeh @sammydog01 The banner shows up on desktop (or desktop mode), but not on mobile.

@ACraigL @Kyeh @narfcake

Woot: please, please, please use our app*

*banners not included

@jasneko You’ve been prolific! I wish I had your time/commitment every week.

@ACraigL @jasneko I love the fluffy sheep.

@ACraigL Ha --some themes like this one are extra inspiring and designs come quickly (Though only 2 this time were made specifically for this derby as I already had designs that worked). And other themes are not as inspiring - I entered 0 for the recent ugly sweater derby!

@sammydog01 aww thanks, me too haha I want to be one of those cats in all that fluff! I’m a fan of being cozy

@jasneko voted.

@jasneko Gotcha, and thank you.

@therealjrn
/giphy hi

@sammydog01
/giphy hi stranger!

@jasneko Very cool!

@jasneko If the one with the bears gets printed, I might have to get it for my vegan sister!

@jasneko @Kyeh The original ‘Odd Bear Out’ is here:
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/odd-bear-out-19

I’m thinking that was released back in early 2011?

@jasneko @narfcake I like the new one better!

@Kyeh @narfcake I don’t remember the year (2011 sounds about right?), but that is my #1 selling shirt of all time! Also the one that has been sighted in the wild the most (for me and also some friends told me), which is so fun when it happens

@narfcake Well, THAT’S tricky:

you must have 5 or more shirt items in your cart at checkout.
You may add any offers from Shirt.woot to your cart to get to 5 shirts, the discount will only apply on select Shirt.Woot apparel offers from this sale.

I did see one each from @jasneko and @ACraigL in that offer.

@Kyeh Someone probably forgot to change that verbiage when posting it. Folks have been poked, and it should be changed shortly.

@narfcake So you don’t have to have 5 to get the discount on 3? That’s how I read it, but I hope you’re right! I had 3 cat shirts in my cart.

@Kyeh I have 5 in my cart right meow, but I won’t be checking out just as of yet. Yesterday’s pointless push had a coupon, so if one came later today, that’s some more money off.

@Kyeh Actually the top 2 are mine!

https://shirt.woot.com/offers/kindness-matters

https://shirt.woot.com/offers/festive-feline-remix

@narfcake Thanks for posting!

@jasneko @narfcake Oh, cool!
Nice that they’re on top now too - last night they weren’t. Does that mean they’re selling the most?!

@narfcake They DID fix it - thanks!

@Kyeh @narfcake Oh really, they weren’t on top yesterday? I didn’t think the positions changed in these sales Maybe Narf knows?

@jasneko @Kyeh Positions definitely changed since last night. Whether it’s based on sales or click-through rates, I do not know.

@Kyeh @narfcake Oh that’s interesting… have you noticed positions changing in other sales? I’ve never noticed positions changing ever, so this is new to me!

@Kyeh @narfcake I checked and they are selling incredibly well (especially festive feline) though I dare not think the most! But wow, so surprising.

@jasneko @Kyeh TBH, I don’t know because I usually only look in the events once to figure if there are any designs I may want.

(I did pick up Festive Feline remix, to go along with the original copy on red.)

@ACraigL hey, sorry I missed this message… it’s not. It does look familiar though, like I saw something similar in a derby once.

@ACraigL voted

@Kidsandliz Thank you!

@jasneko Voted. Like the top cat one the best. Hope it gets printed. Let me know if is does.

@Kidsandliz Thanks, I really like that one too. Will try to remember to let you know if it prints!

@jasneko @Kidsandliz I like that one too!

@jasneko @ACraigL How does that “Hello Cookie” one qualify for this category?!? (They didn’t even spell it Kookie.)

@jasneko @Kyeh It’s based on Hello Kitty, so I’ll allow it.

@ACraigL @jasneko Huh. It’s not obvious; I didn’t even think of that. I think it’s lame!

@heartny Thank you!

@jasneko Ooo - thanks for letting us know!

@ACraigL Hilarious!
Nice looking graphics too.

@ACraigL @Kyeh RIGHT!

@Kyeh @sammydog01 Thanks folks!

@ACraigL Both are both funny and well- crafted, I wish I had some talent at something…

I do have a particular set of skills learned over a long career of doing lots of different things [mostly in various settings as a PA]…
/giphy Liam Neeson Taken

@ACraigL @PhysAssist

particular set of skills

Finding and killing?

@ACraigL @Kyeh

FYI- that’s Liam Neeson acting in a movie.

It’s not me.

It’s not even close to me.

I work hard to improve lives, and [more rarely,] I have saved lives.

Best,

PA

@ACraigL Mister Rogers one - ha!

@ACraigL @PhysAssist Well, I figured as much, but … interesting giphy to put up!

@ACraigL @Kyeh
All the others that came up were from other movies- mostly “The Marksman”. That was the only one which was him and was recognizably from Taken.

@ACraigL @PhysAssist I’ve never seen that movie.

@ACraigL @Kyeh
Me neither, but the clips had logos saying it.

@jasneko I’d already seen them, and voted…

@Kyeh Thank you!
