Our volunteer judges shan24 and Josephus say: Ten-hut! Your orders were to show us how a past or current Woot product helped the Allies win World War II. We asked Jason if we could have a tie for first place, and he said "NO!" A tie for second place? "Nein!" A tie for third? "Nyet!" A list of 20 HM's? "Drop and give me 20!" So, we had to narrow and whittle and come to an agreement on the following list of winners:
First Place - $100
SailorSpoon - Captain Roomba
SailorSpoon's Captain Roomba comic takes us back, back before the Captain Roomba series in the late 1950s, back before the comic book death of Captain Roomba in 1998, when Master Dyson replaced him, back before Major Roomba resurfaced after faking his death in Return of Major Roomba vs. the Dyson Cyclones. We want to read this comic. Can you still find it on Ebay?
Second Place - $50
ohiobusinessboy - Hitler's Guitar Solo of Death
OBB's entry shows the power of the guitar solo long before Jimi
Hendrix came along. We believe this guitar still causes similar (less
fatal) reactions among parents to this day.
Third Place - $20
intaglio - Class Clown
He knows the chances of his buddies having the same shirt are extremely low.
Honorable Mentions
taipan - Lukewarm Stew
Taipan's lukewarm stew showed us how important a, er, not-cold meal is for an army.
quickstepblues - A Little Down Time
Everyone needs a cold one and some tunes once in a while. And a spellchecker. We kid, we kid!
Orcrist42 - Instructions for Finding Water
Leakfrog, the universal symbol for drinking water.
cre8tiff - Digital Iwo Jima
A creative (heh) take on the camera's "features".
biggandyy - Bomb Bomb Tommer I mean Tom Tom Bomber
We like how biggandyy has nicely placed the bomber around the Tom Tom.
Click the pic and watch it grow!
markwms - Frogvasion at Normandy
Markwms gave us a D-Day Invasion as big as Normandy beach, but he honorably adjusted its size.
rivulet - Enigma.Woot
This may have been the singularly most important innovation that won the war in Europe.
dukealive - Windbrella Parachutes
Come over here and call me Mary Poppins to my face!
wildwolf11 - Wowwee Ammo
wildwolf11 put a lot of work into his Woot War II Mini-series, but we especially liked the Robosapien helping load the ammo.
Monkey Prize
ericmburke's Bomb Ride
Strange how we love this one for the monkey prize, what with it being a cold war reference and all. We guess it was slim pickens amongst the monkey eligibles this week, huh?
