Got it. That was sooooo fast. Thanks for the reward. For those with a free account at PayPal you will have to upgrade to a premier account to cash your in your winnings. It will cost you $3.20 to collect your $100. winnings. Thanks WOOT for the fast turn around. See you next week.

What of zee Munkee Price mon frère?

Yea verily, I came to work and behold, in my email not one but two paypal payments from Woot!
Actually, the best part is having my confidence restored. Thanks folks.

(I knew you'd fix what was broken if MissDemeanor won!)

Left off the list again. You have a new PM Jason.

Thanks for the payment Woot.

If you've run out of screaming monkeys, feel free to substitute an InFocus Projector. I'll understand.

At first blush, I blanched at the very idea!
However, I willingly shall join the nobler ranks of, um, kilray!
I therefore consent to put my selfishness aside and grant unto you my much sought permission to do this filthy thing.
If you must.
Be done with it then, man!
Even in this great gesture of beneficence, I accept no accolades.
Mankind has been uplifted and I, your glorious and humble benefactor, can rest a little easier.
I shall not falter in my determination, nor weaken in my resolve.
Do your worst.
If this declaration has brought together nations then I shall, too, shoulder that responsibility.
I say, bring it!
You will not see the slightest bending in my iron will in this, one of the most selfless acts witnessed on Earth: Nay, the universe.
Send me your best InFocus Projector!
I shall not shrink from this infliction upon my very soul!
Now go!
Begone with you!
And do this terrible injustice!
I am resolved.

Yeah, I just want my monkey before Christmas.

Still waiting on my monkey too!

You!
And it's signed, "Love you (and love yer monkey), Toonerz!"
Thanx!
I thought you all were ignoring we monkey prize winners.

Um, if you've run out of screaming monkeys and InFocus Projectors, feel free to substitute an InFocus ScreenPlay 61" DLP Hi-Def TV. I'll understand.

And our Figurative Monkey Prize goes to everybody else who entered the contest, for doing solid work with our foggy premise. "Figurative" means "we won't be sending you anything.")

And we're going to keep the Monkey Prize for ourselves, for coming up with a contest premise so broad and easily executed that we had to look at hundreds of entries to come up with winners (you know how we feel about doing extra work).

Look, if you guys ran out of screaming monkeys, just admit it and either stop awarding the prize or make up a new gag prize. However, many of us are STILL WAITING for our promised monkey prizes.

And if you can't supply the monkeys then how about something of equal wootiness, like the DLP TV or the projector mentioned above ?!? Heck, I'd even settle for mnementh's 100 pucks at this point. I've had to wait almost two months (and some people have been waiting even longer) and this is starting to border on rediculous.

You finally made good on the cash prizes. Now how about doing the same for the monkey prizes, please?

Sent a PM last week... it still hasn't even been looked at.

Jason! Can we PLEASE get the monkey backlog fixed soon!?! And if there is a specific reason why the monkeys are being held hostage, can you at least enlighten us? It's been over two months now (for me), and we really would like to know what the holdup is!

Don't feel bad, Hatzs, mon.
My InFocus Projector only beams images of screaming monkeys doing unspeakably woot things to bawdy woots!

...but I would still like to have my monkey enjoy a little sushi with me!

"Hey, you don’t have to be ashamed about that sonic monkey on your back. Woot understands your bizarre fixation."

What fixation?

Wait!
Hold my banana!
Did you say SONIC monkey?!?!

Jason's Boss;

This is some GREAT stuff. WHatever you are paying Jason (in screaming monkeys) it isn't enough!

/note to Jason's Boss.

Jason, this is just one of the reasons I like this place!

SPREAD THE NEWS!

I GOT PAID FROM WOOT TODAY!!

WOOHOO!

THANK YOU!

I think I sent my Paypal address to the right person.... how long should it take to get the money? Are things still backed up?

Hot steaming jungle...
Are we hunters, or hunted?
EEK-EEEEEK! Ka-Blam! &*@# !

Seriously, though... another two weeks gone by without any word. Not even another broken promise!

So I've read.

Thank the Great Monkey Master (retail:$3.95) you are in one place! (Unscathed, I trust.)

Screaming monkey love is such a movable beast!

It's a pity those heroic men should perish. At least they shall inherit eternal monkey glory.

Let us shed the greater part of our tears for us: We who live such empty lives, devoid of screaming monkeys.

I suppose it a necessary sacrifice a few good men and ladies must make - to take a banana that we might have the freedom to enjoy our screaming monkeys.

We should celebrate their departure - for they were lost whilst living out there... on the edge... where one can truly feel the pulse of life, unencumbered and clouded by alcohol, drugs, and reason!

I think we all understand the perils of such a noble endeavor (and making jokes about getting a big ol' TeeVee gratis).

They got their reward.

And I, my thoughtfully chosen alien themed toys. I love my squirt gun.

In fact, my finger trembles on the trigger as I write this.

Alas...

It is done.

I have pulled the trigger.

I confess.



I... I... I have squirt myself in the head.

Oh, the inanity...


MEDIC!

Is everything still backed up? I sent Jason two PMs right after contest #45 and I haven't heard anything back yet. (I'm pretty sure my PMs haven't even been looked at.) Does anybody know something I don't? i.e. Am I just a moron and didn't do the PM thing right?

I sent Jason a PM a couple of days ago. It hasn't been viewed jet - I can't even imagine how much PM spam Jason gets on a regular basis.

Anyway, hopefully I sent my Paypal info to the correct place.

And a great big thanks to Woot for not only holding the weekly contests, but also for giving money to someone besides Mnementh!

Why does everyone pick on mnementh?
I wonder who's won the most, anyway? ...probably mnementh!
