Forgot to mention, Tenionaire printed in a side sale on Monday! Unfortunately, I’m in the too-many-shirt-offerings-during-overall-low-shirt-sales window, and have only sold 3. Ironically, this doesn’t even qualify me as a “tenionaire”.
I do wonder if the Editor’s Choice dailies are under a B-contract or F-contract. If it’s the latter, it might be why there were several more printed from the Circle derby; no $1000 up front.
@narfcake I was wondering the same thing. Did they run out of daily subs or something? It’s not like the ones they picked are setting any sales records – even today’s EP? I mean, I just don’t get it. There are many others in the side sale that have more appeal (IMO) that that one.
@jasneko Given how they ran several in the subsequent woot-off and then as editor’s choices, I wonder if that was actually its intended route or were they just going to lump it together in the side sale, where even Patrick’s designs don’t get a lot of attention …
How about this round? Static Electrikitty came up through pretty strong and remained in the fog since …
@narfcake You mean maybe the other one (or ones, I’m losing track of entries/derbies) was deemed for the woot-off? They didn’t say if it was, that would of at least been something!
Reaallly hoping to place this time! It’s been so long!
@jasneko Of course they wouldn’t explicitly say –
and I have no way of knowing myself – but there were several designs from the circle derby that ended up printing in the the shirt.woot-off and then a few more as ECs.
Here’s definitely hoping. It’s been almost a week since I’ve purchased a catshirt and withdrawl symptoms may be setting in …
@ACraigL I mean, only in the same way an employee would get to. Still, someone is going to do it so I don’t see why it shouldn’t be you- especially since I do like the shirt.
@ACraigL oh man… gosh poor thing!! I don’t love helium balloons because a few always end up floating away (or worse, people launch many up for various reasons) and all I can think is of all the animals that are going to eventually find and eat them and get sick or worse
@narfcake Oh wow! Well at least that law is a start. But yeah I mean even the regular latex balloons are dangerous for animals, and many times people will purposely have these symbolic “balloon launches” with helium balloons for various reasons and not think of the extremely harmful consequences when they come back down
@jasneko hoping it’s me and you all the way!
I have 3 in the fog, but don’t have any real expectations either way – I’m pretty sure procrasticise is on the lower end anyway – but should be an interesting result tomorrow.
@jasneko So you didn’t appear in the side sale – I’m assuming that was again your choice. I’m actually curious on how you do that – do you not send artwork? Or do you send it with a instruction “only if I win”?
@ACraigL They didn’t ask this time round - maybe because I’ve been turning them down lately with the low sales/high prints…
I haven’t been sending in the artwork 1)because often getting it print ready can be very time consuming (and then pointless if it’s not printing) and 2)I kind of feel like then the choice to print is out of my hands.
Each time they put the emphatic instructions on sending in the artwork I feel like it’s directed at me!
@narfcake there on Woot? That seems too intrusive. It’s nice, having trademarked both Woot and Meh to know the ins-and-outs of having a descriptor as your trademark. Mostly sad that the derby mechanism itself isn’t known well enough to completely explain why this was up for sale.
As for folks that don’t understand the derby, that’s been for years and years. I have scripted responses and cat pics for the inevitable “I hate this” posts.
@narfcake Thanks! I do hope that they fix that soon. That error costs me visibility into my catalog, as well as a launch notification (and probably payment, for all I know). Good weekend though!
@narfcake Somehow I missed this until now. Thanks! Somehow I feel like the yellow is over-saturated. I’m not sure why there isn’t a more gradual fade out of the burst. It’s already half-toned that way (see comp at top of the thread), but otherwise I’m happy with the print.
Related, Nonversation jumped to #9 in the top-20, and Mehvolution found its way out of the bottom rungs to #18. Looks like both will live on for another week. VIVA LA MEHVOLUTION!
The sprawl of mentions for the Mehvolution shirt makes me wonder about using Mediocritee forums for shirt discussion threads. Would be a lot more elbow room to focus on different sites/designs/artists. Seems like we’d need visibility / reminders of it here?
@snapster
At the end of the day, the mentions, while super-fun for me, were a byproduct of this community reacting to the “meh” variant of the shirt, as seen similarly here , and less about general shirt interests.
Obviously I like the idea of a dedicated space to discuss shirty things but I’m not sure it’s right time. That forum needs content (specifically, meh shirts) to drive interest and activity there. Without it, it will never get the eyeballs needed to serve the purpose of this thread – which is to shamelessly promote our derby entries.
@sammydog01 Yep. Even when Mediocritee gets actual shirts, not sure how kosher it will be to promote shirtwoot over there. At least here it’s not competey.
@kevlar51 Thanks Kev! I was wondering where everyone got to. I don’t link a lot of folks are feeling the sports derby (and many didn’t stick to the rules, unfortunately).
@ACraigL It might be the most “non-wooter” themes I’ve seen. Legitimate sports shirts never fared well with the classic woot crowd, and I can’t say whatever crowd they’re attracting now is a big fan either.
@kevlar51 That was my reaction too. I tried to keep to “generic” designs that could go either way, but keeping the sarcasm/snark out of it was definitely a challenge.
@mehbee Normally nothing. I embrace it. This derby had specific rules around non-jokey shirts and something only mega sports fans would wear. But I should have gone in a traditional direction like others did, because straight-up sports shirts generally don’t do well with that audience.
@sammydog01 NOT TRUE! Every vote helps. I had a good weekend 2 derbies ago, sure, but wins are usually far between. I appreciate the support (as well as the vote of confidence).
I have a potentially controversial design ready for tomorrow. I think it’s funny, but we’ll see.
If anyone’s wondering about the Latin on “Catfish”, from left to right:
Impostor Fraud
Bottom Feeder
Buyer Beware
Some are loosely translated as there aren’t really Latin words for them, but my daughter, 4th year Latin student and medalist, assures me they’re grammatically correct.
@sammydog01 Kinda. I originally created this one as a daily. It was not accepted so I subbed it to a “Maroon Shirt” derby changing the colors around to make it work. That didn’t print either, so I’m trying one more time with the original palette and blank color.
@sammydog01 Thank you! Me too - I love the lemon yellow color, and not enough shirts like that! It’s interesting though because I feel like lemon is rarely seen in the derbies/shirts but there are actually 3 in the fog right now (not that you should vote for those also ). Unusual!
@jasneko@narfcake@therealjrn I’m aware this was happening, but can’t help with a progress update. I do recall the positions were mostly operations focused (i.e. press operator, management of those functions, and logistics). Nothing that screamed creative, nor anything I saw that would convince me to leave my current employer.
@ACraigL From what I can tell (it’s kind of tedious to figure out the way it is now), some shirts are moving along nicely! Others not as much. But definitely better than usual!
@narfcake So they DQs patricspens’ design because it was too similar to @jasneko’s, but kept Walmazan’s in despite the above similarity? I know you called it out, but I would like to see a little more consistency there.
@jasneko@kevlar51@narfcake I definitely find a higher correlation when comments are made rather than tattles – but then again I don’t know if anyone else even uses that feature. I feel like shirt (specifically Ochopika) is paying more attention to derbies lately, as seen in the early DQs this round.
@sammydog01@narfcake@ACraigL@kevlar51 Thanks all!! I haven’t placed in soooo long, I could hardly believe it!! (And only missed first place by 3 votes, but hey I’m just happy to place!! )
First time I’ve drawn these particular reptiles for a derby… are crocodilians the secret to success?
@sammydog01 Heh yes I was just kidding, I’m sure it’s the joke! What’s funny is my dad didn’t get the joke … I sent it to him and he replied "Nice … But I JUST DON’T Get it!!! - WHY?? " Guess he’s not that familiar with the phrases!!
@ACraigL Voted. I have to admit, this is my favorite derby in awhile. I want to put in for your contest on the other thread but I’m not exactly sure how to enter.
@mehbee@UncleVinny is right. Just post whatever you want. I’m going to pick 3 or 4 random names, so it really doesn’t matter what you put in there. Good luck, and thanks for the votes!
@ACraigL I don’t know if it’s because his keyboard isn’t functioning again, but at least for me, @jasneko’s shirt is on the first page of results when searching “tail chasing Portal”.
(Granted, my results could be skewed too. Because catshirt. And I’ve purchased it also. Because catshirt.)
@jasneko@narfcake I think woot’s keyboards are broken as well – not sure how they can ignore that for this long and not pay attention to their own derby (and rules)? There’s several entries that contain cats and they’re still running as well, though not in the fog.
@jasneko@narfcake@sammydog01 Not sure. It’s certainly cute enough. If I had to guess it’s because it was a late sub (Saturday, for a Thursday launch), and a pretty new artist so not known enough to generate a lift. The thumbnail choice isn’t great – I would have zoomed in a bit – but more likely the two previous points I mentioned.
@ACraigL@narfcake@sammydog01 I think that dog pile is really well-done and adorable!! Probably what Acraigl said. And it’s so easy to get overlooked in the derby.
This derby is Portmanteau’s – the fusing of two words. I got three entries in. Hope you like them – these were fun for me to make.

@ACraigL gottem all
@ACraigL Got them.
@ACraigL All three are excellent! I can tell by the placement I’m not the only one who thinks that.
@mehbee Thanks! I’m excited, but the derby is still early on. Fingers crossed, though!
@ACraigL
Bought today’s, which is great!
Wish they had a tote design for it.
I’ve got one up for the week–thanks!

Forgot to mention, Tenionaire printed in a side sale on Monday! Unfortunately, I’m in the too-many-shirt-offerings-during-overall-low-shirt-sales window, and have only sold 3. Ironically, this doesn’t even qualify me as a “tenionaire”.
@ACraigL Ooh, editor’s choice. Why hasn’t the editor bought one?
@sammydog01 One of life’s mysteries, I suppose.
@ACraigL Make that 4
@mehbee Rock on! Thanks and happy new year!!
@ACraigL congrats but d’oh… yeah I am so hesitant about giving any for the colossal side sales
@sammydog01 heh very good point sammydog!!
@ACraigL Four sales
is one better than @jasneko’s Circle of Nyan 
I do wonder if the Editor’s Choice dailies are under a B-contract or F-contract. If it’s the latter, it might be why there were several more printed from the Circle derby; no $1000 up front.
@narfcake I was wondering the same thing. Did they run out of daily subs or something? It’s not like the ones they picked are setting any sales records – even today’s EP? I mean, I just don’t get it. There are many others in the side sale that have more appeal (IMO) that that one.
@narfcake oy. And they wanted both my designs that derby, I only gave them the one… and been turning down since then.
@jasneko Given how they ran several in the subsequent woot-off and then as editor’s choices, I wonder if that was actually its intended route or were they just going to lump it together in the side sale, where even Patrick’s designs don’t get a lot of attention …
How about this round? Static Electrikitty came up through pretty strong and remained in the fog since …
@narfcake You mean maybe the other one (or ones, I’m losing track of entries/derbies) was deemed for the woot-off? They didn’t say if it was, that would of at least been something!
Reaallly hoping to place this time! It’s been so long!
@jasneko Of course they wouldn’t explicitly say –

Here’s definitely hoping. It’s been almost a week since I’ve purchased a catshirt and withdrawl symptoms may be setting in …
I’ll vote for it, but I won’t give woot my money.
@Pantheist If enough people vote for it, I get to take theirs.
@ACraigL I mean, only in the same way an employee would get to. Still, someone is going to do it so I don’t see why it shouldn’t be you- especially since I do like the shirt.
Thanks @narfcake to pointing me to the new thread!

@jasneko I really do like this one.
@jasneko Voted (already!)
@jasneko You’re already up to 18 votes, right there in it! Good luck!!
@jasneko
@narfcake if I only had some balloons…
@RiotDemon Here ya go.
@ACraigL omg. Poor puppy.
@narfcake Poor kitties and evil humans!!
@ACraigL oh man… gosh poor thing!! I don’t love helium balloons because a few always end up floating away (or worse, people launch many up for various reasons) and all I can think is of all the animals that are going to eventually find and eat them and get sick or worse
@ACraigL
@jasneko It doesn’t seem to bother/taunt them any more than a laser pointer, so.
@narfcake Yeah I’m just joking about evilness about the static part
But not the helium balloons/any eaten balloons.
@jasneko Yeah, no joke on that.
We have a balloon law here in California, but it remains a point-of-sale procedure on mylar only, not latex or a ban on any of it.
@jasneko Done
@narfcake Oh wow! Well at least that law is a start. But yeah I mean even the regular latex balloons are dangerous for animals, and many times people will purposely have these symbolic “balloon launches” with helium balloons for various reasons and not think of the extremely harmful consequences when they come back down
@jasneko It’s still all too common that it’s “out of sight, out of mind”.
@narfcake Yes pretty much… like so many things that hurt animals/the environment … ugh
Um, hello?? printed in the side sale today, woo!
Happy new year everyone!! Hello?? Um…
/giphy awkward dance
@ACraigL Congratulations!
One more request to anyone who didn’t vote! (Can you tell how long it’s been since I’ve placed? Sorry to post twice!!)… 2 more hours left. Thanks very much everyone!

Join the Mehvolution
(And come February, first place for something else too, right, @therealjrn?)
@narfcake I just ordered one. It’s a must-have
congrats @ACraigL!
@kevlar51 @heartny @narfcake Thanks guys! Nice surprise this morning. Also, the comments are ridiculous. I’m loving it!
@narfcake All part of my master plan to get @matthew to wear one of my designs in a video. I guess this one has the best shot?
@narfcake mehbe, @Narc, mehbe. lol
@ACraigL Mighty congrats on first place!!
@AcraigL nice shirt - in for one but can’t speak for @matthew
@snapster
And then maybe here.
Feel freePlease add to thediscussionoutrage there.Suggestions: Chemtrails! Weather ballons! Crop circles!
@narfcake there on Woot? That seems too intrusive. It’s nice, having trademarked both Woot and Meh to know the ins-and-outs of having a descriptor as your trademark. Mostly sad that the derby mechanism itself isn’t known well enough to completely explain why this was up for sale.
@snapster Non-serious outrage is not intrusive.
As for folks that don’t understand the derby, that’s been for years and years. I have scripted responses and cat pics for the inevitable “I hate this” posts.
@snapster Made my day, thanks for the shout out!
And second place too, @ACraigL!
Nonversation
Actually … who’s ACriagL? Do you know that guy, @therealjrn?
(I’ve sent a note in about the error already.)
@narfcake Is that a typo or an imposter?
@heartny Typo.
@narfcake Cool. Fixable, I hope.
@heartny Totally. I can’t, though; I don’t have that much power.
@narfcake I guess you’ll have to buy a few more power banks from meh. Lol
@narfcake Thanks! I do hope that they fix that soon. That error costs me visibility into my catalog, as well as a launch notification (and probably payment, for all I know). Good weekend though!
@ACraigL I can only imagine what the magical month of February will bring for you!
@therealjrn ¯_(ツ)_/¯
At least it’s a short month.
@narfcake Can you poke again on the name fix? I know it’s still early there, but I’d like to see it addressed sooner than later, if possible.
@ACraigL Done.
I’m not fixing your broken Mr. Shruggie here, though.
@narfcake Ha! All the characters are there, it just won’t render properly for some reason. And I was too lazy to use/find the mehdown version.
@ACraigL mehtastic!
@narfcake looks like its fixed now. Thanks! Now I just need to hit up Ben to resend the launch email…
@ACraigL a dude named Ben? Those guys are good.
@ACraigL You mean the mehdown version “/shrug”?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@narfcake meh
@ACraigL
Ok life. You win.
@ACraigL
@snapster Did you get your mehvolution shirt yet? Mine arrived today and I got a few pictures of friends wearing it striking the shrug pose. Fun!
@narfcake I’m extremely sad I missed that shirt.
@mehbee You can still get it, if you want:
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/join-the-mehvolution
@narfcake Somehow I missed this until now. Thanks! Somehow I feel like the yellow is over-saturated. I’m not sure why there isn’t a more gradual fade out of the burst. It’s already half-toned that way (see comp at top of the thread), but otherwise I’m happy with the print.
Related, Nonversation jumped to #9 in the top-20, and Mehvolution found its way out of the bottom rungs to #18. Looks like both will live on for another week. VIVA LA MEHVOLUTION!
@ACraigL Yeah, I noticed that too. The colors are still muted well enough to work, though, so no complaints from me.
3 awesome entries in that portmanteau derby @ACraigL Could very well do 1st, 2nd, 3rd!
The sprawl of mentions for the Mehvolution shirt makes me wonder about using Mediocritee forums for shirt discussion threads. Would be a lot more elbow room to focus on different sites/designs/artists. Seems like we’d need visibility / reminders of it here?
@snapster I would suggest, like, having
t-shirtscatshirts for sale. Seems like that would be a good fit.@therealjrn nope. too easy.
@snapster
At the end of the day, the mentions, while super-fun for me, were a byproduct of this community reacting to the “meh” variant of the shirt, as seen similarly here , and less about general shirt interests.
Obviously I like the idea of a dedicated space to discuss shirty things but I’m not sure it’s right time. That forum needs content (specifically, meh shirts) to drive interest and activity there. Without it, it will never get the eyeballs needed to serve the purpose of this thread – which is to shamelessly promote our derby entries.
@ACraigL FTFY. There’s only so many variations of a meh logo/general expression before the market dries up.
Given the lack of request for more community input, I think the “still waiting” part of the poll is the outcome.
@narfcake I mehnt meh produced shirts, not just literal “meh” designs, if that wasn’t clear, but I agree with your assessment either way.
In other news, in the woot thread, introverts are starting to offend each other on the definition of introvert. Yay!
@ACraigL No need to bring out the cat pics just yet, though.
@narfcake Lol. The last (fe)line of defense.
@ACraigL lol
@narfcake shot you a PM over at woot – just seeking some feedback. Thanks!
@ACraigL if you moved this thread to Mediocritee we would all forget to vote and that’s what it’s here for, right?
@sammydog01 Yep. Even when Mediocritee gets actual shirts, not sure how kosher it will be to promote shirtwoot over there. At least here it’s not competey.
The Sports Fandom derby has launched! Here’s my two entries. Thanks for any help, appreciated as always!
Gridiron Ale

@mehbee
And thanks to @narfcake for the feedback on Gridiron Ale.
@ACraigL a bit late, but I gotcha
@kevlar51 Thanks Kev! I was wondering where everyone got to. I don’t link a lot of folks are feeling the sports derby (and many didn’t stick to the rules, unfortunately).
@ACraigL It might be the most “non-wooter” themes I’ve seen. Legitimate sports shirts never fared well with the classic woot crowd, and I can’t say whatever crowd they’re attracting now is a big fan either.
@kevlar51 That was my reaction too. I tried to keep to “generic” designs that could go either way, but keeping the sarcasm/snark out of it was definitely a challenge.

@mehbee Normally nothing. I embrace it. This derby had specific rules around non-jokey shirts and something only mega sports fans would wear. But I should have gone in a traditional direction like others did, because straight-up sports shirts generally don’t do well with that audience.
Gridiron Ale is still in the fog! One more voting day left… fingers crossed!
@ACraigL Voted although it’s not like you seem to need my help these days.
@sammydog01 NOT TRUE! Every vote helps. I had a good weekend 2 derbies ago, sure, but wins are usually far between. I appreciate the support (as well as the vote of confidence).
I have a potentially controversial design ready for tomorrow. I think it’s funny, but we’ll see.
Gridiron Ale got an Editor’s Choice today. Woo!

Coincidental colors make it look like an endorsement for the Pats.
I blame myself for that.

If anyone’s wondering about the Latin on “Catfish”, from left to right:

Good eye.

@jasneko Done. The lotus is brilliant, and I would wear it with pride.
@jasneko gottem both–nice work
@jasneko Voted both!
@jasneko
@jasneko Got em. You do so well with both cute and beautiful.
Thanks so much everyone! @OldCatLady - so glad to hear that!! @sammydog01 - Awww - much appreciated
@jasneko Psst. Post when you get a print.

I didn’t login via Amazon, so my copy is getting shipped the usual slow way. The shirtgoat gets the blame here, though, not @ACraigL.
@ACraigL @jasneko @narfcake There’s a new production facility mentioned over on Woot. Have you heard anything about it?
@ACraigL @jasneko @therealjrn There were job postings several months back, but that’s all I know.
@jasneko @narfcake @therealjrn I’m aware this was happening, but can’t help with a progress update. I do recall the positions were mostly operations focused (i.e. press operator, management of those functions, and logistics). Nothing that screamed creative, nor anything I saw that would convince me to leave my current employer.
@jasneko @narfcake @therealjrn
Here’s 3 open jobs for that facility.
Side note: There are NO open jobs on the woot site. Only Amazon.
@ACraigL @narfcake @therealjrn I had no idea until now… whoa.
@jasneko Meow!
Yay for the artist spotlight, @jasneko!
https://shirt.woot.com/plus/artist-spotlight-jasneko
FWIW, this is only the second side sale in which I have every design offered already.
@jasneko @narfcake Came to say the same! Congrats!!
@narfcake Ha wow, that is awesome! And amazing.
@narfcake That looks great - thanks for the reminder, still have to order some!
@jasneko how’s the sale going? Mine did pretty well. I think so anyway. Hard to tell without any artist dashboard or anything, grumble.
Saw great tweet on on of my designs. Smile-fest.
@ACraigL Cool! Seeing people in your own design is the best feeling!
I completely forgot about the entering the derby yesterday
Anyway, I entered today, please vote if you like it! 
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/105496/im-a-super-food
@jasneko gotcha! Congrats on the artist spotlight! And just in case it’s good luck, I’ve also never had an artist spotlight
@jasneko Voted!
Hey everyone, please give this a vote! Much thanks:)
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/105529/so-many-confusing-feelings “So Many Confusing Feelings…”
@jasneko Voted!
@jasneko I love the dragon!
@jasneko Voted
@sammydog01 Thanks Sammy! I particularly like the way the dragon turned out too.
I have 2 in this derby. Thanks for any help!
F.O.M.O.
Feelin’ Groovy
@ACraigL Got them.
@mehbee
@ACraigL gotcha
@ACraigL Done. I only saw one hangry and it wasn’t one I’d really want, so wish there was a good hangry, but love your’s love the colors
@mehbee Thanks so much!
PS. One more day left in my Artist Spotlight if anyone wants to pick up one of these designs on sale!
https://shirt.woot.com/plus/artist-spotlight-jasneko
@jasneko How’s the sale going?
@ACraigL From what I can tell (it’s kind of tedious to figure out the way it is now), some shirts are moving along nicely! Others not as much. But definitely better than usual!
@jasneko I regret that I have been of little help, what with having at least one of each already.
Current:
@narfcake Maybe you need this one:
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/105565/meh-ow
@heartny That’s not one of @jasneko’s designs.
Besides, this exists already:
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/ok-life-you-win?ref=meh_com
@narfcake I guess cats and meh are a thing.
@heartny
/image meh cat
@narfcake So they DQs patricspens’ design because it was too similar to @jasneko’s, but kept Walmazan’s in despite the above similarity? I know you called it out, but I would like to see a little more consistency there.
@ACraigL @jasneko The thing is I didn’t even report Patrick’s.
@ACraigL @jasneko @narfcake as far as I know, the tattle button sends messages to an empty hole in the ground.
@jasneko @kevlar51 @narfcake I definitely find a higher correlation when comments are made rather than tattles – but then again I don’t know if anyone else even uses that feature. I feel like shirt (specifically Ochopika) is paying more attention to derbies lately, as seen in the early DQs this round.
@narfcake Ah that picture in the tee with the mug =
(Side note - there are way more male emoticons than female ones 
)
@jasneko @narfcake I bought that in a tshirt for my best friend!
@mehbee @narfcake Hey awesome! Which one? Black cats are the new good luck?
@jasneko @narfcake The cat sitting on the computer saying he works on computers
@mehbee @narfcake Nice! Hope your best friend likes it!!
Thanks for any help on my entry this week!
Spring
@kevlar51 I like it! Nice work.
@kevlar51 Cool!
@kevlar51 Voted!
@kevlar51 Act excited tomorrow.
@narfcake lol thanks
@kevlar51 @narfcake Narf beat me to it. Congrats in advance!
@ACraigL @kevlar51 It’s akin to the mini-derbies in which the results were revealed before they were sold.
(If @fablefire was more active here, I would have congratulated her yesterday too.)
My entry (so far, we’ll see if I finish what else I’m working on)… thanks for any votes!
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/106870/seed-of-spring
@jasneko gotcha earlier!
@jasneko Got it!
Ok I liked the way this looked so much I went in a different direction than I first intended… another one, please vote - thank you!
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/106911/the-start-of-spring
@jasneko gotcha–don’t forget to vote for yourself!
@kevlar51 Ha, good point - thanks!
@jasneko Voted both!
@jasneko Another pretty colored shirt!
@sammydog01 Thank you! I really want this one to wear !

https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/106612/anana
@jasneko I have mine posted in the T-List thread
@ACraigL lolz, thanks didn’t know that existed! headed over there:)
@jasneko Yeah, figured it would get overwhelming.
@ACraigL well with the amount of tees you have in it yeaahhh
Nobody asked me, but here are some of my recent favorites… i.e., things I voted for and purchased:
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/blooming-season (A fox made of flower petals – by letterq)
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/not-flat (NASA non-flat Earth design - by OmarFeliciano)
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/a-new-friend (little fox in a pretty forest…I get a ton of comments on this shirt! - by patrickspens)
And, a super old-skool shirt from 2007:
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/all-is-calm (a cardinal sitting in a bare tree - by InitialSam)
@UncleVinny That little fox in the forest illustration is really lovely!
@Jasneko i looooove it so much!
2 new designs in the Joke derby - thanks for any votes!
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/106969/an-exchange-that-will-haunt-them
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/106986/dog-day
@jasneko Gotcha jas!
@jasneko Voted on both
@jasneko Got them. Love the puppy.
@sammydog01 @mehbee @ACraigL Much thanks! And anyone else - the alligator/crocodile one is still in the fog so please vote!
@jasneko done.
Yay for 2nd place, @jasneko!
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/an-exchange-that-will-haunt-them?ref=meh_com
@jasneko Congrats!!!
@jasneko congrats on the print!
@jasneko Woo!
@sammydog01 @narfcake @ACraigL @kevlar51 Thanks all!!
I haven’t placed in soooo long, I could hardly believe it!! (And only missed first place by 3 votes, but hey I’m just happy to place!! 
)
First time I’ve drawn these particular reptiles for a derby… are crocodilians the secret to success?
@jasneko I have a feeling it’s the joke but the alligators are cute too.
@sammydog01 Heh yes I was just kidding, I’m sure it’s the joke! What’s funny is my dad didn’t get the joke … I sent it to him and he replied "Nice … But I JUST DON’T Get it!!! - WHY?? " Guess he’s not that familiar with the phrases!!
@jasneko And it’s such a dad joke too.
@jasneko @sammydog01 Where’s the joke? It all looks legit to me…
The new derby, Joke’s on You is up! Here’s my silly entries. Thanks for checking them out. Hope you think they’re as funny as I do.

@mehbee
@ACraigL you deserve to win it all with that anti-gravity shirt!
@UncleVinny I gotta admit, I do like 0mg line probably too much. But I think my favorite is the 8-ball. Thanks!
@ACraigL Voted. I have to admit, this is my favorite derby in awhile. I want to put in for your contest on the other thread but I’m not exactly sure how to enter.
@ACraigL @mehbee I think you just have to make a post you think ACraigL might think is funny!
@mehbee @UncleVinny is right. Just post whatever you want. I’m going to pick 3 or 4 random names, so it really doesn’t matter what you put in there. Good luck, and thanks for the votes!
Last day to vote! And thanks to those that did already!
@ACraigL Got them. I liked the 8 ball one the best too.
I’ve got one up for the Gears derby–thanks for any help!
enter link description here
@kevlar51 I like it!
@kevlar51 Gotcha Kev. Good luck!
Happy @jasneko shirts.
@narfcake Wow you got 3!!!
@jasneko One to wear, one oversized for sleep shirt duty, and one as a spare when the one to wear is in the wash.
Anti-Gravity: A Novel printed today in the side sale. Woo!
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/anti-gravity-a-novel
Unfortunately, none of the other three did, even one finishing in the fog.
I have 2 shirts up in the Dog derby! Please check them out, and thanks for any votes!
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/107142/truth
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/107155/canine-biology-eplained
@mehbee
@ACraigL Done! Finally something dedicated to doggies
@ACraigL I really like Truth.
@ACraigL gotcha
@ACraigL The first one looks really great!
@jasneko Thanks jas!
Had them done but didn’t get a chance to enter them until late - d’oh! Thanks for any help!
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/107197/dog-people-vs-cat-people
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/107195/dont-give-me-those-puppy-dog-eyes
@jasneko Got them! The first one is so true.
@jasneko Voted. Be wary of the no cats rule. The first might be DQd
@ACraigL Oops… didn’t read the rules at all! Darn. Took it down - thanks.
@sammydog01 Thanks! Alas didn’t realize there was a “no cats” rule, so I took it down.
@jasneko The first one featured a Dog 2.0.
(Do you have one in the works, @spiritgreen? Not for this derby, but perhaps for a future submission?)
@jasneko gotcha
@jasneko patrickspens has a pretty similar shirt to one of yours in the derby (in the fog). I commented on it, but wanted to make sure you knew.
@narfcake for thoughts.
@ACraigL That shirt looks incredibly familiar. Looks like one of yours is in the fog. Good luck!
@sammydog01 Thanks! Yes, hoping it performs as well as Inevitability.
@ACraigL I don’t know if it’s because his keyboard isn’t functioning again, but at least for me, @jasneko’s shirt is on the first page of results when searching “tail chasing Portal”.
(Granted, my results could be skewed too. Because catshirt. And I’ve purchased it also. Because catshirt.)
@jasneko @narfcake I think woot’s keyboards are broken as well – not sure how they can ignore that for this long and not pay attention to their own derby (and rules)? There’s several entries that contain cats and they’re still running as well, though not in the fog.
@ACraigL Garfield is totally a cat.
@sammydog01
@ACraigL @jasneko The rejectionator has a tendency to take off days that end in ‘y’.
@ACraigL @jasneko @narfcake
I am one of only 6 people that voted for this shirt and I don’t see why no one likes it. Any thoughts? Am I missing something?
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/107235/dog-pile
@jasneko @narfcake @sammydog01 Not sure. It’s certainly cute enough. If I had to guess it’s because it was a late sub (Saturday, for a Thursday launch), and a pretty new artist so not known enough to generate a lift. The thumbnail choice isn’t great – I would have zoomed in a bit – but more likely the two previous points I mentioned.
@ACraigL And not even one cat. Or a Garfield.
@ACraigL @sammydog01
Ask again later
/8ball Is Garfield a cat?
@narfcake @sammydog01
/8ball Is Garfield a cat?
@ACraigL @narfcake @sammydog01 I think that dog pile is really well-done and adorable!! Probably what Acraigl said. And it’s so easy to get overlooked in the derby.
@ACraigL @sammydog01 Yeesh, the /8ball doesn’t even want to give an answer!
Cannot predict now
/8ball Is Garfield a cat?
@jasneko @narfcake
Without a doubt
/8ball Is Garfield a cat?
@jasneko @narfcake There you go!
