No, seriously, I have no idea why it took me so long.
I am a person who is serious about T-shirts.
Really serious.
I spend way more time deciding what kind of t-shirts I am going to buy and what particular shirt I am going to wear every day that I should really be admitting to. (I can’t decide… I CAN’T DECIDE BRAIN ANEURYSM!) If you buy me a t-shirt, you’re sort of walking on thin ice. If I do not like the T-shirt, I will feel horrible, because I will not be able to wear it. I will not endorse your t-shirt if I cannot truly, truly WEAR the t-shirt, you know?
I should not think of my t-shirts, hell, what I wear, as a reflection of who I am… but I kind of do, so it’s kind of important to be wearing the right things.
Rules: If you’ve seen it in a store, it is unlikely to be a t-shirt that I can wear, because it is too mainstream. Cleverness wins much extra points. Cuteness also, but cleverness is more important. If it’s black, that’s fine. If it’s another color, it best makes sense in the context of the shirt. Every time someone compliments me on my shirt, or asks me where I got it and I say “internet” then I win.
Anyway, the point is, I have no fucking idea why it took me so long to start going to Woot Shirt.
Basically, they make a T-shirt every day. They are t-shirts that are decently priced. Most of the time, they’re sort of artistically cool but not something I’d wear. But that’s okay! I think they should exist! For example, this shirt? I wouldn’t wear it, but it’s totally bad-ass and whatnot. But I mean, when you offer me something like this? Or this? How the fuck can I resist? Not to mention that the shirts are so short-term that the kind of unspoken rule I have about not wanting to be wearing something anyone else is wearing is pretty well going to be protected.
Seriously, finding those shirts and buying them makes me wonder what the fuck I’ve been missing. I need to check the damn site every day. I need to keep up with my t-shirt purchases. I also need to purchase this one and this one too…
I don’t buy as many t-shirts as Vidjeo Gamez… but I still perhaps spend too much money on them.
