About my design

by Kevin Barrack
Das Huhnergott: The Chicken God

This is the god of random spontaneity. Worship her! Make an offering unto her of parched corn! Her favor cannot be earned, but only won by random luck! For some reason, she prefers the menacing look of her name in German blackletter.

oh my god i love it...i might consider losing the text as it seems even more random and spontaneous without the words...but that's not a deal-breaker...as a designer, i need to wear it to work every day...4/buy

there is a mistake. "das" is wrong - you have to write "DER Hühnergott"

sckamb -- please note the note below:

Note: If you're going to criticize please be constructive and respectful about it.



Huehner is plural, so its Chickens God. That begs "die" instead of "der" (as this is the Austro-Calexican variant of German, wherein the definite article is determined by the first noun in the compound structure) and yet all I want TO DO IS BUY THIS T-SHIRT. It's brilliant.



In the immortal words of Dieter, "and now we dance!"

hej, i'm a german girl - i know my language. if u want to use "die" you have to write "die hühnergöttER".

i like the shirt but i think it's defenitiv a pity if there is mistake.



cheers

Grüß Gott, heisst es nicht der Hühnergott? Aso wurde schon geschrieben. Sind das nicht steine mit Löchern drin?

Thank you all for the German grammatical discussion. I have to admit I am very much out of my league, since I came up with this text by using a web translator (which explains the incorrect article).



Shittakind: Sorry, but I can't understand your questions. (Google came back with something that I assume is a bad literal translation that made little sense.)
