All I can think of is this song.

I think you don’t see round doors IRL because they’d be quite impractical. Since there’s only one point to attach a hinge to, all the weight would be on that one point, instead of distributed over two or three points like rectangular doors. You’d have to overbuild the hinge, or else it would bend and break. Especially on a door as heavy as this one looks.

But they might be practical for very round people.

Is anyone else reminded of Lost?

I kid, I kid.

I was really hoping this one would get printed.

For the curious, here’s the start of The Hobbit:

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats – the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill – The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it – and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the left-hand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deep-set round windows looking over his garden, and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river.

is it secret? is it safe?

I thought this was a bit racy for a moment but then I remembered “The Green Door” title wasn’t on the shirt.

[Stexe]

Huh… anyone else think of Behind The Green Door?

Behind the Green Door

I guess it is semi-intentional?

Behind the Green Door - Wikipedia

I guess it is semi-intentional?

That was my first thought.

[dostone]

Anyone else old enough to wonder what’s Behind this Green Door? (you would have to be 21 to order that shirt)

[safyrejet]

The lush grassy look is very well achieved. It makes me think of the Secret Garden or maybe even Alice in Wonderland or Totoro.

[psychmo]

Is no one else reminded of that O. Henry story?

Oh! I love this! It’s beautiful! Except… It would look like a third boob. Sad. I sort of-almost-kind of-maybe wish I were a man, so I could wear this shirt…
