I think about a world to come where the books were found by the golden ones, written in pain, written in awe by a puzzled man who questioned, "What are we here for?" All the strangers came today and it looks as though they're here to stay.

Woot Weekly Round-Up 6/27/2011

It has been a difficult week at Woot. Following the disappearance of "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves" from the Reckoning last week, two of the best t-shirts on the chart have been sitting at the bottom of the list, dangerously close to disappearing forever. These are the three t-shirts I recommend from the Top 20:

#2. The Cheese is a Liederkranz


#17. Meh (At one point this week, Meh was in last place in the top 20. Eek!)


#20. In Harmony (Though readers like you made sure that this t-shirt didn't disappear this week, it hangs on in the last qualifying position this week. While I didn't see any t-shirts worthy of dethroning it appear this week, there is always that chance that In Harmony might be in trouble next week.)


Of the Bystanders, "Food Court" and "Funny Things are Everywhere" were pretty decent, but I wouldn't be hurt if they disappeared. I think they would be exactly the style of my beautiful girlfriend, but not quite mine. As for the Going... Going... category, I'm a little sad that #21. "Emperor Penguin" is disappearing, mostly because Amy had her eye on it, but otherwise I think they chose the right t-shirts to get rid of this week.

As always, check out Shirt.Woot for fantastic daily deals, and make sure you hop on over to the Reckoning and make sure your favorite shirts don't get kicked off of the site.

Woot Weekly Round-Up 6/20/2011

This week has been full of changes over at Woot. There are only three t-shirts that I now recommend from the Top 20:

#2. The Cheese is a Liederkranz (For the first time since I can remember, this t-shirt has been dethroned from the #1 spot, and the really sad news is that the t-shirt that replaced it is cute, but completely inferior.)


#16. Meh (This t-shirt should still be in the Top 3, and if you ask me it's still the best shirt you can get from Woot. Unfortunately, it's sliding toward disaster.)


#18. In Harmony (We were very close to losing this t-shirt today, but through the actions of people who read this blog, and presumably others as well, we were able to save this shirt for at least another week. Congratulations. You deserve it!)


The Going... Going... category is peppered with some of the best designs on the entire list. "Actual Cats" and "Ro-boss" are nearly as good as the t-shirts I've been promoting for some time. Unfortunately, one of the best t-shirts I've ever seen on Woot is now only available for the next 24 hours. Of all of my favorites, "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves" is probably the easiest for me to wave goodbye to, mostly because I already own this shirt, but I'm unhappy that after today none of you will ever be able to buy it again. If you're interested in this shirt, buy it now!

#21. Eats, Shoots, and Leaves (We'll miss you, t-shirt!)


The Bystanders keep getting closer and closer to something I would buy, but they are just missing that certain something. I would imagine that within the next week or so we are going to see a truly worthy t-shirt appear on Woot. We need one to make up for the loss of "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves," after all.

Woot Last Chance Bonanza: In Harmony

I've been checking in on Woot quite a bit recently, and to my dismay one of their best t-shirts is in danger of disappearing from Woot forever and always.

The t-shirt is titled "In Harmony." Here's a picture:


The way we keep this t-shirt available is by buying it ourselves. Stop over to Woot and get your own "In Harmony" t-shirt. I need it to stick around at least long enough until I am not completely and utterly broke.

So, head on over to Woot's reckoning and buy "In Harmony." It may be your last chance.

Woot Weekly Round-Up 6/13/2011

Not a lot of changes on Woot.com. Of the Top 20 t-shirts at Shirt.Woot's Reckoning, these are four that I recommend you check out:

#1. The Cheese Is A Liederkranz


#11. Eats, Shoots, and Leaves (I cleaned the stain off of this shirt and wore it proudly the other day. It was fantastic.)


#13. Meh


#16. In Harmony


In the Going, Going... category I'm a little surprised that #21 If I Only Had a Brain, #23 Sunset and #25 Intermission are going to be leaving us, but, as you can tell, they weren't exactly top priority for me. As for the Bystanders, none of them really made it onto my radar. Again.

Woot Weekly Round-Up 6/6/2011

Here's what's going on at Woot.com. Of the Top 20 t-shirts at Shirt.Woot's Reckoning, these are four that I recommend you check out:

#1. The Cheese Is A Liederkranz


#7. Eats, Shoots, and Leaves (I'm starting to get used to wearing this shirt, and nobody's noticed it yet. And yet, I am still proud to wear it.)


#9. In Harmony


#11. Meh


In the Going, Going... category I'm a little surprised that #21 Rule No. 1: Cardio is going to be leaving us, but it doesn't make me want to cry or anything. As for the Bystanders, none of them really made it onto my radar.

Woot Weekly Round-Up 5/30/2011

Not a lot of changes on Woot.com. Of the Top 20 t-shirts at Shirt.Woot's Reckoning, these are four that I recommend you check out:

#1. The Cheese Is A Liederkranz


#4. Eats, Shoots, and Leaves (I received this shirt in the mail and the detail is insane. Immediately, I spilled on it. It remains to be seen whether or not the damage is permanent. Hopes and prayers, people.)


#7. In Harmony


#9. Meh


In the Going, Going... category I'm a little surprised that #26 In A Galaxy Bar Far Away is going to be leaving us, as it is one of the best shirts released in the last two weeks. That said, it doesn't break my heart that it's gone. As for the Bystanders, none of them really made it onto my radar.

Woot Weekly Round-Up 5/23/2011

Of the Top 20 t-shirts at Shirt.Woot's Reckoning, these are four that I don't think you should miss out on.

#1. The Cheese Is A Liederkranz


#4. Eats, Shoots, and Leaves (I already bought this one!)


#6. In Harmony


#8. Meh


There's really nothing in the Going, Going... category that I'm sad to see leave. In fact, I'm fairly happy the Thesaurus t-shirt will be leaving us. As for the Bystanders, Thursday's In A Galaxy Bar Far Away is pretty interesting, but I wouldn't say it's one of the best I've seen.

Good work making sure Eats, Shoots, and Leaves didn't get eliminated, my friends, and good job skyrocketing it nearly to the top of the Top 20.

Woot Weekly Round-Up 5/16/2011

Of the Top 20 on Shirt.Woot, there are three that I don't think anyone should miss out on.

#1. The Cheese is a Liederkranz


#3. In Harmony


#5. Meh


Normally, some decent t-shirts fall into the Going... Going... category, and normally I would alert you regarding these shirts so you can snatch one up before they disappear, but none of them are really all that impressive. Of the new batch of Woot Shirts, The Bystanders, shirts too new to be reckoned, there is one that you should definitely look into. If I see it on the chopping block, I'm going to be kind of annoyed, because it's just a darn good shirt. It's so good I bought it myself.

Sunday's shirt. Eats, Shoots, and Leaves


Until next time, enjoy these four shirts. And make sure you check out Woot Shirts on a daily basis, and make sure to check out the Reckoning and campaign to keep your favorite shirts from falling off the Top 20.
