Our warehouse came through
So we treated them to dinner, free cordon bleu (and Texas beef stew and also fondue)
All of the BoCs shipped, not just a few

threepiecewoot - you might just be my favorite person in the world today :-) thanks and have a great weekend!

I can not wait! I have been on woot for 5 years or so and I have never got a Bowl of Cereal so I am soooooooo excited to just finally get one and say I gots me one! Still no tracking. Will probably update over the weekend.

Will repost with what I got.

My wife can now rest easy,
We are both looking forward to our loot.
Now the waiting begins all over again,
Thanks, threepiecewoot!

All but one, dare I say
Maybe my tracking number fell prey?
Woot hath not sent one my way..
F5 button getting far too much play
Fedex barks "Not Found" to my dismay.
Maybe my Bowl of Cereal comes via fat red man on sleigh
Neigh, it's clearly merely lost in the fray
Atleast upon that last note I do pray.

Driving home from work
mind racing on what awaits
woot gods don't displease

for what do i find?
that my crap is coming soon...
woot said it is true!

as I press F5
I thank all of woot's good staff
fedex, not so much...

First, great poem, threepiecewoot, it made me chuckle.

Second (and off topic from a Bowl of Cereal but I wanted to report this happiness), we received the weather station I purchased in the last woot-off (which I felt lucky to get since there were so few in quantity).

I gave it to hubby for an early Father's Day gift and he LOVES it. He just finished setting it up, and I am happy to report that, in eastern PA, the wind speed is 13mph, temp is 78, humidity is 51% and the barometer is dropping, which means we'll hopefully get a thunderstorm.

THANKS WOOT!!

i am getting ansy... everyone is getting their ship notice except me

i haven't received it either so you're not alone

Fear not, if threepiecewoot said they all shipped, your tracking numbers will show up sometime (hopefully) soon. Mine too!

Lets see if my limerick skills are still working (I'm typing this up on the fly...)

There once was a Woot Staff Threepiecewoot,
Who rhymed that our crap bags were en route,
We love and adore,
The one who's hardcore,
Let us all stand and give a salute!

Meh ... not the best one I've written

Wahoo got my tracking update via reference number.

5.6lbs no dimensions yet. Due to arrive June 10th.

I was thinking you were going to do something like...

There once was a man from matrass
whos balls were made of fine brass
but it stormy weather
they'd both clang together
and sparks flew out of his...

well im sure you can figure the rest out.

me and the wife off for some Mexican..
and some margaritas too!
I will get back as fast as I can...
then more F5 pressing to ensue...

Haiku is my thing
I can make them up quickly
Still no number yet ...

My crap still cannot be tracked,
even though they said bags were packed.
I can't track by reference,
To threepiecewoot I give deference,
If he said it has shipped it's a fact.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I went to fedex.com
and it said NO TRACKING FOR YOU!

That was pure genius!
It made me laugh very hard!
Seriously, nice!

Here I sit in my chair, running my fingers through hair, glancing at the FedEx screen, hoping my tracking will soon be seen. When all hope had been abandoned, a dashing hero stumbled in. Smelling like he'd spent the last week at a rowdy Texas shin-dig, this well dressed poet spoke had news we could only call big. He carried something marvelous in his hand, it was a shipping manifest on a legal pad. Exclaiming loudly he stated "regarding the deadline, this here list says our shipping department made it". A cheer rang out and and all were pleased, monkeys screamed, leak frogs screamed, the Roombas whirred as they often do. But as he left, ThreePieceWoot turned back to the crowd and said "I've got a letter for you".


End prose attempt, maybe I could use a good editor.

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense.

I concur, but not nearly as eloquently as Kn1nJa did.

Nice!! Made me laugh. Thank you.

I've heard that before
But it always makes me laugh
Thank you sir zollars!

Now I have to explain to my wife why I am laughing hard enough for her to come downstairs.

Now for a real attempt.

To FedEx I'll go
Reference value says "Not Found"
Oh, disappointment!

Very nicely done!
Proper syllables and lines!
You are good at this!

FedEx is quite slow
Threepiecewoot said all craps shipped
Should have used brown truck...

Why call it SmartPost?
I would expect speed not sloth.
It does not make sense.

It is smart for Woot
It probably costs lots less
Just think about it...

this poetic thread
brings joy to my wooting heart
but SmartPost does not

Shipping Reference
Not Processing Book of Crap,
What Tracking Number?

Like Mom used to say,
It is good to have patience
It is a virtue!

ThreePieceWoot said shipped
No proof to be found online
Trust is all I have

Mexican I ate.
Margaritas all imbibed.
Drunkenly I post.

Wife says no more Woot.
We must always listen to her.
Lest we get the stare.

So Good bye for now.
May FedEx post my number...
and I please my wife.

No FexEd tracking to receive
Yet to get an email from woot
Much to my displease
I hope there is good news coming, shoot

This thread has become
A hub of poems and rhymes
BEST. CRAP. THREAD. EVER!!!!!

There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who bought three craps and a bucket,
He F5ed with a smile,
Because it would be awhile,
Before he could watch where they truck it.

Leakfrogs and Roombas
Screaming monkeys and flush lights
All wait in Memphis
