[CLOSED] Spring Shirt Giveaway! Woo! (Unofficial)

ACraigL posted a pic said Thu, Apr 14th 2022 at 7:41am ET

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!!

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.

Put on a tee shirt (one of yours?) when I realize I am approaching the color of a lobster in a pot.

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.

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.

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

@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! )
