Love the podcast!

Is there some way to save it to my computer? I'm using Firefox. I've saved wootcasts to my computer before just by right-clicking, but that was back when I used MSIE. Firefox doesn't seem to be giving me an option to save this.

I'M GONA DIE!!

..........wah..........

Right-click on the exclamation mark. You'll get a list of fun things to do with the file. Click "Save Link As". The rest is the same as IE, I think (at least it's the same as Safari).

anyone notice that every time the item runs out, a new one copy of the same item with a different pic. gotta love april fools

oh man I was so excited for my first woot-off. April fools is so evil.

loving the new theme, can't stop laughing Wonder how long I'll have it on repeat this time heh

so if it "sells out" and comes back on again... and it's 2 for tuesday
does that mean we can order 6 EVERY time it goes back on sale?!

So. Just how much fun are you guys having reading all of our theories???? ;-)

Did anybody notice that when you click on the product picture on the home page to get an enlargement, that the battery is pictured in a different location?

One was a Tiger stadium, next San Fransisco, now it's at the Alamo!

Thanks! Worked fine. Now I can even play the fake woot-off theme on all those $9.99 MP3 players that I can't stop buying!

I can't keep up with all the spamming in the main woot item dicussion. Was trying to figure out if there's something going on besides 'that wuz teh funneh april fools suckas!' myself, but I don't have any ideas yet from the pics. Thought about starting another thread to discuss it but wasn't sure how many would have ANY idea heh

so very hurtful. and yet so very funny.

i'm never getting a Banjo of Consternation, am i?

Yes you got me.

ROANOKE VA!! MILL MOUNTAIN STAR....

my brain hurts.

mine 2

when do we get "shoes.woot.com"?

Great theme, had me laughing. Is it really a Woot-off?

limited quantities available!!

fudge yah

not sure if this was it, but i opened the podcast in a new window and saw that the link was kind of odd.

http://s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/wootfiles/20080331-1i5i5o.mp3

so i thought maybe 155am something will happen because it had the date, and perhaps the time? so at 255 eastern time i sat and watched one of those batteries be sold out, and hooray the craps!

As someone who has enacted countless evil April Fools jokes on hapless victims, I wholeheartedly approve of this prank. Ace!

Gag or not... I still missed the Baiting other consumers :-(

Are you implying that i missed the crap???????????

Please tell me you are joking! Did they sneak anything else in?

Alas so did I so close... now if only I had my CC's security code memorized I might have got my order for the banjoes in on time... So close... so very very close and yet not in time to get anythng other than a sold out message...

( am presuming that the brief appearance of the Baiting other consumers was not in fact a joke.. )

No joke, they snuck it in at approx. 12:02 PST. Braille on Cookies was up, then 10,000 more batteries.

Sorry. No April Fool's Joke. They snuck it in a couple hours ago (around 2 a.m. central). Lasted a whole 5 seconds I think. Only 150 Baiting other consumers were available.

I listen to the stupid thing over and over and DON'T KNOW WHY !?
