[CLOSED] Spring Shirt Giveaway! Woo! (Unofficial)
10
In light of my surprise win today, and to help celebrate that short-sleeve weather has (finally!) returned, let’s give away some shirts!
To be entered, just reply to this thread. Replies to replies are welcomed but only top-level responses will be considered.
The contest will end Monday, 4/18 at midnight. I’ll announce three (3) winners on Tuesday in this thread.
Any selection from the woot library is fair game, but something from my catalog is always appreciated.
We don’t have to discuss shirts. How about what you’re planning to do first now that the weather has finally broken?
I have two new designs for spring up for voting! You can check them out here and here. I love the beer garden one. Just saying. ![]()
Thanks to everyone that votes and supports the derby. We appreciate you! Good luck!!

Wow, I’ve never been first to reply before… wooooo!!

Beer garden shirt is amazing! Count me in
new shirt is awesome, a well deserved win
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!
Congrats on the win! I missed that contest, but love the design (and agree with the sentiment!)
And I agree, Beer Garden is excellent!
I will be working with my cactus herd and enjoying the pretty flowers until they take over my house and kill me.

(because I want to see what we get)
@ACraigL That herd looks a little safer than mine.

Obligatory comment with fawning praise followed by three nitpicky gripes devolving into a rant about an entirely unrelated subject.
@werehatrack ACCURATE
Pretty sure that is my son’s motto, no we in chips. ha!

One word, Concerts!
I can’t wait to be able to go back to outdoor concerts! Two years without them sucks. I live ten minutes from one of the biggest concert places in my state and I’m itching so bad.
@Star2236 I bailed on a concert in December just because it was indoor. Looking forward to doing that too!
I love the beer garden one. I have tons of garden ornaments for my yard, somebody really needs to make some like that bc I’d buy them.
Count me in, please!
Oh, I skimmed right by the question about what we’re going to do in the warmer weather. I’ll be back to my annual struggle to keep the yard from becoming a wilderness.
Hi.
@FreePasta Hello.
I plan on spending some quality hammock time with my beagle pup while procrastinating about doing yardwork. Actually, I found a high school kid today who mows lawns so there’s that.
Why the surprise? I want it in a hoodie. (As I finish a bag of chips that was hidden so I didn’t have to share. My name is not Sharon. Especially when we are talking good chips.)
Congrats.
Weather broke for a few hours and then back to chilly. I am ready to be outside without 50 layers of clothing.
@speediedelivery I was surprised because I thought The Pastryarchy design was funnier. Not complaining. Also, that one ended up in the side-sale today, so all’s well that ends well!
Voted and voted. Congrats on the win. Unfortunately spring doesn’t last here and then we have a zillion degrees with a zillion percent humidity. Leads to a zillion fuck this shit. Were I not to live in an apt building it would be sitting on my porch in a hammock chair. Definitely.
The snail shirt is hilarious!
I would love new shirts. Good luck everybody.
I love the beer garden shirt. It’s a bottle tree gone berserker.
Mountain biking during a drought.
Congrats on the win. (At least someone, somewhere, can recognize talent. Must have bit them…)
FREE THE NIPPLE!
(I’m an old white guy with pasty skin, so I don’t think anyone wants pictures.)
Then,
Put on a tee shirt (one of yours?) when I realize I am approaching the color of a lobster in a pot.
Spring? I’m going skiing in Montana next week; high temps will be in the 30s, maybe into the 40s.
@compunaut

Enjoy!
I’ll probably try to get some seeds started so I have a little head start on my garden.
I took a look at your link. There are so many cool shirts…but I am in LOVE with the School House Rock math shirt!
As a little kid in the 70’s, School House Rock was a HUGE part of my Saturday morning cartoon watching.
When I became an elementary school teacher in the 90’s, I purchased the whole set of SHR on VHS because I wanted my students to benefit from learning catchy ways to identify (and remember) parts of speech, or math concepts…or even social studies lessons. It was no longer on tv and I wanted to introduce them to it.
To me, it was such a cool way to teach important grade school education concepts (through repetition) to a huge audience of children (that would be impossible to do now due to the variety of kids tv channels).
I bet lots of us here who are over 45-50 years old can remember SHR…and probably even have a favorite. Mine was Interjection, (with Unpack Your Adjectives as a close second).
But I loved them all.
Sorry for the novel, lol! I definitely will be putting that shirt on my wish list.
@k4evryng We’re definitely around the same age, lol. I remember SHR vividly.
“I’m just a bill, sittin’ on Capital Hill…”
@ACraigL Lol! I loved that one too!
Woo! Be careful not to put the snail shirt near the beer garden shirt or you may kill them.
@heartny That is an excellent point.
Those are 2 great designs, congrats on your win!








Now that it’s getting warmer I’m looking forward to getting back outside and getting some exercise! The pool will be open before I know it and until then I’m going to try and do some walking.
Happy warmer weather days to everyone!
Time to get that sack of seed opened, and start my crop.
T-shirt weather isn’t scheduled to start until thursday.
@mbersiam Place your order now so you’re ready!
@mbersiam Around here it comes and goes, sometimes all in one day.
Totally in. You can never have enough shirts!
Weather definitely did break. It snowed Saturday and now I’m sweating through my meh tee
Um, what warmer weather? We had 14 inches of snow on Monday/Tuesday. Power was out for over 36 hours. It’s 37F out right now. Mid-April in PNW Oregon!
Congrats on another win! And yes, the Beer Garden shirt is awesome. Speaking of beers, when are we having some?
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@cinoclav We are overdue! Can’t think of a better time than summer.
I should probably clarify that the contest will end on Monday night midnight, rollover to Tuesday. Just in case.
bump!
Just a PSA that this contest closes midnight tonight! Comment away for a chance at some free tees!
@ACraigL
How many wins is this for you?
@Star2236 In total? Oh gosh I have no idea. Gonna guess around 50 or so since I started, plus a few non-derby daily picks from woot.
Winter storm warning today, 2-4 inches of snow expected. Then it’s gonna be 78 on Sunday. Only in Michigan. Probably gonna be a migraine week from the pressure change in the atmosphere but at least it will be worth it to sit outside and enjoy the day even if it’s gonna be cloudy.
@Star2236 On the way back from Seattle a couple of years ago, crossing southern Idaho out in the middle of nowhere, we went from sunny, T-shirt weather to snow and back again in the space of ten miles across flat land. And in Memphis one March Sunday, I watched the weather do the same thing as I was loading up my minivan to come home from a con.
I’ve got a new Star Wars derby design up for voting if you want to check that out too

@werehatrack
@oppodude
@k4evryng
To get your shirts, whisper me the following:
Thanks again for supporting me and the derby with your votes and enthusiasm. Hopefully I can do this again soon! And don’t for get to vote for my new design!
Ah, what the hell…
@speediedelivery too.
Congrats!
@narfcake, would you mind closing this contest? Thanks!
@ACraigL Woo hoo! Thank you!
@ACraigL Woo! Indeed. Thank you
@ACraigL Wait, I won something? Wow…
@ACraigL I think this is a great time to use some Interjections, right?!

Wow! Woo hoo! Thanks!
Seriously…thank you so much! You literally made my day so much better! Not surprisingly, I’d love to get the School House Rock shirt, lol! But it definitely won’t be my only shirt from your designs.
So many of them seem to weirdly speak directly to my life. 

All winners have contacted me and all shirts deployed! Looking forward to all the modeling shots

@ACraigL You might regret asking
Quick update:
Beer Garden didn’t win, but was picked up in the side sale (as was my snail) and is available in a neat weekender tote too! See all the stuff here:

@ACraigL awesome - congrats!
MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
So my mail carrier asks me at work, do you want your package or deliver it? I take it thinking it would be the boring thing I ordered for the house. Nope. It is soft and return address is Amazon. Yippee! My new shirt is here early. Open it up and no it is not my cool new shirt. Instead it is two fun shirts but not the one I whispered. Now what should I do? Either someone in order fulfillment has screwed up or @ACraigL selected my info by mistake for a different order. Should I whine or just say thank you? Fast forward a few hours and I am home relaxing after dinner and I hear a thunk at my door. Peer out the window and the UPS truck is pulling away. Wonder what that is? I grab the package and it is from Woot. Tear it open and the it is! My new favorite shirt! Today was the perfect day to wear it. The first really nice and warm day of the year.
TLDR: Thank you! My shirt is here with two friends and I

them
@speediedelivery
Niiiiice!
@speediedelivery They lived up to your name, at least
I have no idea why they split shipments on single orders like that, but just glad everything arrived safely. Enjoy!
@speediedelivery they look awesome!
FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!
@ACraigL I am so FREAKING ecstatic! I saw 2 packages on my step, and thought one was from you and one was from Amazon. I opened my chosen SHR tee shirt first and of course, loved it! Then, I casually opened the other package and apparently laughed so loud that my husband looked at me funny.
I can not believe you sent the MP bunny shirt!! We quote that movie constantly, and of course the bunny scene is one of our favorites! (Honestly…I can’t hear someone counting to 3 without saying “5 is right out”
) My kids are gonna love it (I may have to hide it!
)
And I love the monopoly shirt as well!
Everything is so awesomely ‘old school’ that they are a perfect fit for my ‘old’ self.
Seriously…you are the BEST! Thank you! (And of course I voted for your new shirt because SHR rocks!
)
