Did you read today's Shirt.Woot write-up?

I must've been having some allergies or something like that because you know, maybe my eyes were watering a little by the end of it. But the coolest thing about it is that it's the third in a three-part installment, as user @almsforoblivion pointed out.

Part 1: http://shirt.woot.com/Friends.aspx?k=18342
Part 2: http://shirt.woot.com/Friends.aspx?k=19468

Does this serialized story thing happen often over there? I confess I don't always read the write-ups.

It was a good motivating sentiment. Never seen someone bring emotion into the shirt selling business like this before. Clever write up.

We don't serialize often, but every single one of our sites have reoccurring storylines that have been going on for years. Think of it as an occasional Easter egg for the long-time reader, of which you are hopefully now one.

And thanks for the compliments!

I love the shirt and picked one up for myself and my daughter. It's one of those shirts with emotional layers going on. The write-ups are great, too.

I love how they jump back and forth from straight-up silly, laugh out loud, funny write-ups, to deep, thoughtful ones. I usually take time to read them, and wonder if most of them (at least those for the derbies) are written on the spot, or if there is some pre-made material that is modified and applied depending on the derby winner...

@dmaz: on the spot, generally. Sometimes you're seeing a first draft from about a half hour of prep time.

I had not, but thank you for posting it, along with the prequels. :-)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
