woot is in woot off mode

[Nitsirk]

However, I just bought another one. Because there's at least five people I know who want woot to move on to a different item, and 'cause I had $145 I wasn't doing anything with, anyway.

:cheers:

My first one lasted about two and a half years and then it stopped vacuuming. It still roamed around just fine, so I used it for a cat toy but eventually it quit working entirely.

However, I just bought another one. Because there's at least five people I know who want woot to move on to a different item, and 'cause I had $145 I wasn't doing anything with, anyway.

It didn't seem to make too big of a difference. Can you please buy a few more?

 

[Mercutio]

I only have about 400 square feet that need vacuuming as it is!

Why must woot put wine on the woot-off. Isn't there a wine.woot for that? Someone who doesn't live in stupid state like mine please buy some so we can get on to the next thing. I'd love to try the wine but nope, no wine shipments here. And where is the Bag O Crap?

 

[timwhit]

I recommend that you move to an enlightened state where sale of wine over the internet is allowed.

You must live in Pa

I got a Random Crap.... with 3 craps in it. Woooooot!
I wonder what they send you. Maybe lint from the warehouse floor or something. Maybe those leakfrogs. I'll let you guys know either way.

Nope, Indiana

If I really want to order wine online I have to ship it to a relatives house in Illinois which is a PIA but doable.

Lucky duck. I tried but got nuthin. Let us know what you get.

The Screaming Woot Monkey (i.e stuffed monkey slingshot thing) is awesome. I bought three. They shall strike fear in the hearts of my students.

And they are loud, too.

I got my box of crap today.
Here are the pictures of the contents of my box of crap.
http://willrickards.net/images/woot_box_of_crap/

We have
1. Targus Accessory Pouch
Kind of like a modern shaving travel kit but for mice and stuff.
2. Thermos Insulated Pub Glass
Too bad I don't drink beer
3. Saitek Texas Hold 'em Poker Electronic Game
Maybe it will make me better at cards
4. Green Caped Flying Screaming Woot Monkey
I don't have anything to record the screaming with.
But it is pretty fun to fling it across the room. Kids love it.
5. Some orange thing with a lanyard?
There was a balloon type circle with it.
I have no idea what the hell it is.

Well I guess it is really a box of crap. My wife thinks so anyway. At least my box of crap treasure hunt can end. I can actually work during a woot-off now.

 

[Mercutio]

The woot monkeys are awesome. I do not know how you can complain about getting a woot monkey. I am so buying more of 'em.

I need one to send to Ballarat, for one thing.

 

[ddrueding]

I need one to send to Ballarat, for one thing.

...and California?

 

[sechs]

What would the governator do with one?

 

[Handruin]

Terminate it.

 

[sechs]

Bingo!

 

[Mercutio]

Tour of Woot's new HQ. I like the bit about "Soviet Post-Brutalist Architecture".

 

[Handruin]

I never knew they were so formalized with a facing business front.

 

[ddrueding]

I doubt they did before.

 

[Handruin]

Good for them; they have been around a while now and must be doing good for themselves. They offer a set of humor not found in most business fronts these days.

 

[Mercutio]

Another woot off today.

 

[timwhit]

Ohhhh, I can't afford another woot off.

 

[Mercutio]

Left handed golf things and whatever the hell sake is are pissing me off.

 

[Nitsirk]

Ditto. The rechargable lamps were kinda lame too but still better than Sake. Where are the screaming monkeys?!!! The next thing will probably be a Roomba since we haven't seen one of those yet. Boo!!!

 

[Handruin]

4 GB SD seems reasonable for $20. The left handed golf club would only be purchased as a weapon to keep in the trunk of my car.

 

[Mercutio]

"...as is the ultra-light membrane and the over-sized leather muffs, which strongly remind one of the older Kate Bush."

I think the woot guys are making a very naughty joke, there.

 

[LOST6200]

sAKe is a good thing, better that tahn robovacujm cleaner that always gets hung up somewheres.

 

[Handruin]

I think woot is still in woot off mode?

 

[ddrueding]

Nice deal on MS Streets w/ USB GPS unit. I'd get one, but I think I want a Bluetooth wireless GPS.

 

[timwhit]

Woot off ended, and I didn't buy anything. I would have gotten a screaming monkey, but I missed it. They sold 10k in less than 3 minutes, which amazes me.

 

[Mercutio]

I got three of them. Again!

 

[timwhit]

Damn, how many do you have now?

 

[Mercutio]

I will have five total when I get these.
Some will be given away, though.

I was actually waiting for a BoC. Usually when they do the woot-off on a Thursday, the BoC hits between 4PM and 6PM on Friday. No BoC, but since I had the page reloading every 3 seconds I was well-poised to snag my monkeys.

 

[LOST6200]

Well, no wondre I could never buy anything. I thoug the WoOTs wer all good for 24 hroas. Only unempliyed, sefl emoplyed, home opffcie, or off-hours people would be ables to buy them during the weekdays.

 

[Mercutio]

They are good for 24 hours. They change at midnight central time and when they sell out, they sell out.

 

[timwhit]

I saw some Screaming Woot Monkeys at Bed Bath and Beyond today. They didn't have the Woot logo on there, but I am almost positive it was the same thing.

 

[Mercutio]

Bed Bath and Beyond non-woot Monkeys do not have the cachet, the gravitas of the woot-variety.

 

[ddrueding]

Are you saying that Woot Monkeys have big balls?

 

[LunarMist]

Exactly what kind of monkeys are they?

 

[Mercutio]

The monkeys are awesome. That is all.

Also, there is wooting-off today.
