Calendar De-Crapping Kit: January

If you bought some of our Random Crappy 2008 Calendars last month, then this is probably the week when that disappointing realization finally sinks in: Friend, you aren’t strong enough to tolerate a whole year of Trans-Ams, or Yorkshire Terriers In Funny Hats, or Scenic Lighthouses of Nebraska, or whatever lousy calendar(s) you scored.

Well, to borrow Roger Clemens’s old drug test mantra: urine luck! We’re publishing twelve pieces of substitute calendar art — one image every month, all year — starting today. Just click the thumbnail below to see our original January artwork in all its original January glory, print it out on any standard-issue office printer, and tape, paste or staple it over the top half* of any calendar, and voila! You’re looking at a different calendar entirely.

Isn’t that exciting? Just minutes ago, you thought you were stuck with twelve months of Teddy Bear Ballet. Now? Well, gee, who knows what the rest of 2008 might bring?

Even if you didn't go for the crap-bait, you can still live 2008 the Woot way. These illustrations paste just as well over non-Random Crappy calendars, and are suitable for framing. You know, being flat and all.

This idea just dawned on us, so we couldn’t rush January’s artwork out as fast as we wanted. Look for subsequent installments of replacement art at the beginning of each month.

*Very important! Pasting replacement art over the bottom half of your hanging calendar will greatly reduce its usefulness.
