My fireman friend has really gone out on "rescue cat from tree" missions. He says that cats really are pretty good at getting down from trees, because you never see cat skeletons up in the branches...

He also went on a call where the emergency was the person lost his contact lens in his eye and couldn't get it out. Fairfac County's tax dollars hard at work right there...

I didn't know you were in Northern Virginia-I assume that's the county Fairfax you were referring to. Any snow there yet? Not here in Montgomery county, though they were saying it was supposed to start snowing in Baltimore any minute now.

Only my second time placing a vote since the shirt woot started on here. Whether you end up with the shirt printed or not just wanted to let you know that your effort was appreciated and admired. Off to put your shirt up to 200. Take care
Eidt: I'll put it up to 201- hubby's account-----Good Luck

thanks Terry. I really had high hopes when the derby started- stayed in the fog until sometime on Sunday.

Good thing that "C" is next to the "X" there on the keyboard, else I'd really look like I can't type.

My building has very few windows, but I heard it's starting to look ominous here by the Potomac Mills mall where I am right now... How sad is it that I look on the Internet traffic cameras to see what it's like outside?

They say it'll turn to rain by the time it's time to go home later, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I feel so Wooty. Wearing the Woot t-shirt scales (building, ship, whale, stilts) today to work.

Dude, I am wearing my WOOT LAUNCH T-shirt (of the $10 variety from the woot off launch) under my blue sweater today!

This is craziness, I tell you...

You too, Mr. Zero.

is this going to be a free for all derby this week?

as always!

I'm guessing still probably no shirts with legal issues or excessively graphic potty/sex jokes, Mr. Kenney.

Not me, Lord v8r. I'm out of derby juice.

New theme: GRAFFITI!!

As long as humans have walked the Earth, a few of us have scribbled on it with a rock or spray can or Sharpie. From graffiti-artists-turned-fine-artists like Banksy, Basquiat, and Haring, to the crudest joke on the men's room wall, to the incisive billboard remixes of today's culture jammers, graffiti is the mustache pencilled onto the face of Western culture, the inked-out teeth of our social history. This week, instead of defacing private property with your illicit scribbles, deface a shirt instead.

Please, any of you fine folks, would any of you consider allowing me to "borrow" one of your graffiti entries, add a pucker or two to it, and then submit it as one of my entries?

That'd totally be awesome-- graffiti on another entry in the graffiti derby, right?

Think about it and let me know.

I think you can come up with a neat lipstick graffiti design yourself...

of course I can, but think of the scandal when an "unsuspecting derby entry" gets defaced with the bright red lips of inspiration!

I might just fall out of my chair laughing my little white pocket protector off!

Pucker up a Cho... it'll be a winner "fo sho"

yeah, but he'd write me up all angry and such.

On to the second idea...

If I made a graphic of several big woot designer names, then spray painted "sqrt(-1) over them all, I think that would be funny!

dig it! it's an ambigram, too, and vectorized for various-sized enjoyment!

you can still "grunge up" graffiti, right?

Isn't that the point? Graffiti = grunge?

I like!


Well, got alot of it done, but not all time to go home, I;'ll finish the rest later

But Here is a sneak peek!

I'm actually at a loss for ideas... c'mon brain! Think!

SkekTek wrote:I'm actually at a loss for ideas... c'mon brain! Think!

Prof. Tek,
I am at a loss myself. Perhaps a local overpass or alleyway can provide inspiration.

Isn't graffiti just drawings on a public surface? How could any shirt design not be considered graffiti?

I got a glimmer of an idea, but I'm afraid everyone's gonna do it. And it isn't as groundshaking as a puckerific graffiti, so I don't know.

How about the I am toon's babies daddy one?

Would that be "woot-related" and rejected?

I'm thinking of parodying the infidel graffiti... put a foreign flag on a wall, and write USA stuff over it...

That'd be super, because I LOVE the USA!

What about this? Just some doodling:

And I think it would be EXCELLENT payback.

I need help!
I thought it would be funnier if vader tagged, so now I don't know if I should change the words onto the death star! Any suggestions?

I agree, it's funnier, Lord v8r. Suggestions for what? Text to put on the Death Star or just whether it's funnier?

Well The title is, to start a war, so should I take off Luke wuz here and put "the empire stinks on the death star?

Lord v8r,
"The empire stinks" seems a little obvious, but anything I can think of sounds a little too geeky.

darthv8r wrote:The geekier, the better

Lord v8r, not this geeky:
"Yoda lives"
"Bothan spies were here"
"Admiral Ackbar was here"
"Sith You"
"I got your Sith right here"
"Sith schmith"
"Post no bills"
"I find your lack of graffiti disturbing"
"Palpatine bangs porcupines"
