Let the flaming begin (pun intended)...

I forgot how much I love Forbidden Broadway.

Dying of laughter and it's keeping me distracted from staring out the front window!

annnnd my crap came!

1 x Phillips Docking Entertainment System here (small chip in corner and speakers might not be working)
1 x Phillips docking cradle for ipod here
1 x game time talking football strategy game

So... at 7:47 AM your package was too damaged to deliver, but apparently the post office said hell with it and tried to deliver it at 11:11 AM.

You may get the crappiest crap ever.

Update on the GPS...

Hubby is like a dang kid on Christmas morning..

He tried the GPS on the way back to work, and it works PERFECTLY!! He is all excited about it...

we like toys.

Well, my 36.1 pounds of crap is here. And surprisingly, it is crap.

Pretty much all of the mass was taken up by a Cuisinart Private Reserve Wine Cellar.

Otherwise, I received two of the ATI TV Wonders, a Pinnacle Studio shirt and a Pinnacle Studio bag.

Waiting to see if they redeliver. Otherwise, I'll be spending my lunch at the post office.

VERY cool....my wine cooler broke...hubby needs to get to fixing it...congrats!! I hope you or someone likes wine

oooo....that stinks...but hey it is worth the 8 buckaroos!

kayboss wrote:oooo....that stinks...but hey it is worth the 8 buckaroos!

Quite true. A little bit of inspection shows that the door is a bit damaged, but I might find someone who can take it off my hands and I'll probably end up using one of the ATI things for myself.

What was in my bag:

Pinnacle T-Shirt
Picnic Basket
Camera Bag
iPod Speaker
Jawbone headset (looks like a dog chewed it for a couple of seconds but it works. Cleaned it thoroughly with bleach to kill any yuck that may be on it).

And the most mysterious item, one blue-green, standard sized, Post It note with the following written on it:

AC10922A

Not sure what that is, seems like it's a serial number. And the "C" might be an "L". If it works for something somebody got drop me a line and let me know.

had +lt written on my box in red marker, and for a few seconds (that's how long it took me to rip open the box) thought I might have received a letter! No letter But I did get an Oliso steam iron (happy belated mothers day present for the wife) a lil' camera bag, and a high school musical clock! Fingers crossed, maybe the next one has the letter! =)

Does anyone know if a wine cellar could chill sodas to a decent temperature? A purely speculative question.

I don't think so...would probably get to luke warm at best, wine coolers keep wine at around 50-60 degrees...not as cold as I would like soda.

According to the powers that be, it will do the job very well.

*edit* I guess it depends on your setting, but aluminum is a better conductor for heat or cold than glass, so it would really depend on how you could set the temp on the unit itself.

ecnica wrote:That is exactly what I got also.

There's alot of that going around. I got that plus one more slinky and Disney-branded child-size earbud headphones.

I'd rate my Bowl of Cereal. about a Craptastic+, mostly because I love slinkys and the headphones fit just right =P

if anyone has ideas on how to fix speakers for a phillips ipod dock please get in touch with me! this thing is awesome and powers on, but no sound!

Wow, this is quite a mystery! I wonder what it is (or was) a reference to.

Got my 5th Bucket of Coors today: At 3.6 lbs...

1x American Tourist camera bag

1x Winnie the Pooh magical toothbrush holder (it is quiet annoying...it goes off on its own, I don't even have to touch it)

1x Pinnacle XL shirt

1x HP RF823AA Premium Stereo Headset (doesnt stay together)

1x HP wireless mouse without cover and connector

3x random usb connectors

Thanks Woot for the laugh!

I have received post-it notes attached to broken hard drives. They had cryptic stuff like that written on them, too. I'd guess with all the broken HD's recent BoCs had, that is a post-it note that was previously stuck to a RMA'd hard drive.

again with you!

I was going to buy one of those during the last woot off!

Or you could just use the salt/ice/water trick in a pinch!
