			<description><![CDATA[There seems to be a little piece of poop between the lucky cat and the lucky seven. Is poop some forgotten, but potent symbol of wild luck? Or am I maybe mistaking it for something else?<br />
<br />
(Please don't get me wrong. It's a lovely shirt. I'm just curious about this particular thing.)<br />
<br />
<br />
EDIT!! It has come to our attention that the pile's not poop, but rather, it is a little pile of scratchings from the lucky seven (presumably scratched off by the lucky cat). ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just received the shirt yesterday and I gotta say, the design looks really good in person. But maybe it looks... too good?<br />
<br />
My cat climbed up into my lap, but when she looked at the lion print, she flinched. She tried to investigate closer, but couldn't overcome her very real fear of a 20 inch lion print.<br />
<br />
So good job, Keith. Your shirt scared a cat away from my torso. That's gotta be worth something.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[After weathering the storm of positive comments and stone temple dart traps, I stand here triumphant with my last submission score and a bloodied stump where my brush pen used to be. But this week-long run for cover has not been without pain. Whereas I didn't used to smoke, I now consume eight casket-shaped cartons of "Olde Glasse Tobacco Stickes" per day and have bitten the fingernails on my left hand down to the second knuckle.<br />
<br />
Now, sitting in a safehouse outside of Duluth, I await hearing whether my efforts have paid off or if a Threadless Strike Team is honing in on my location with a plane-load of giant enraged alligators (and a handful of free stickers).<br />
<br />
The smell of the perpetually burning swamp to my left is overwhelming my thought processes, but I'm left wondering...<br />
<br />
What's the best score that never became a t-shirt? What's the worst score to become a t-shirt? How do designers save their lungs and fingers during the arduous voting process?]]></description>

Man... this whole t-shirt process is nerve-wracking. Before it's through, I'm gonna be looking at a <a HREF="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=wrack&db=*">wrack</a> of nerves. It's only been a day since it was submitted and I'm worried about how it's gonna be received.<br />
<br />
I wonder if other designers take this shirt business so seriously.]]></description>
