Happy Birthday, Woot!

Happy Birthday, Woot!

Need some new lights. Old ones got crushed whilst moving. Still waiting on it to clear.

Happy Birfday Woot...what does one get for their six year-old? I feel like I've paid enough money making it into the century club to buy your diapers for all of this crap that you keep placing into bags. Thank you for the wonderful time and the blurry question mark shirt...I still don't understand how people don't get the blurry question mark.

It works with pretty much anything with a USB port.

Happy Birthday Woot! I'm in for 1.

Also sounds like Woot employees are not happy about being given Amazon employee discounts.

I agree with your first statement. As for the second, it seemed to me that Woot was snarkily angling to GET a discount. Or Amazon was holding it out as a condition of nuking the BOCs, maybe? I didn't get a good feeling either way.

Happy Birthday Woot! The cake is not a lie today, eh?

Let's go lucky number 7!

ONE TIME!

Drink some Bacardi like it's ya birfday, woot!

Let's go lucky number 7!

Also, while there's a 10% chance of winning, the number of sales made that hit the number will not be an even 10%, since the other Woot sites will have their order number interspersed with the main site. (So, as an example: xxx01 will be woot-off lights, xxx02 will be a shirt.woot purchase, xxx03 is another woot-off lights, xxx04 is from wine.woot.)

You *DO* realize that makes no sense whatsoever, right? Regardless of what site an order is placed, the last digit of the order # still has to be between 0 and 9... giving ANYONE a 10% chance of winning a Bowl of Cereal. Yes it's possible for that number to be higher or lower than 10%, but not by much.. especially considering they're probably going to be selling 50,000 of these...

Yay Woot! Happy Birthday! I'm hoping for 8...I mean, I pretend the Book of Crap is my wedding gift from Woot....now that would be sweet. ^_^

Or to simply find your car!

Happy-B-Day WOOOOOOOT!!!!!!

You get Velcro too!!! I'm going to hang these upside down on the shelf that hangs in front of my computer desk!

Love the randomness, much better than sever crash and helps keep out the riff raff.

c'mon 9. Happy Birthday Woot!

I went ahead and took the bait. I didn't win last year but who knows. I need number 1.

Crappy birthday WOOT...

Can't get my order to go through. I really wanted more woot lights too. Hope it eventually process's. Happy Birthday Woot!

Go 7!

Yeehah!!! I finally got another Bag of Conservatism and flashing lights to boot! It has only taken 3-4 years since I last got one.

I just noticed the Box of Cats commandments are slightly different this time:

Wootbot wrote:THE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS v3.1

I. Thou shalt expect nothing beyond ONE bag of some kind and SOME NUMBER OF crappy items.

II. Thou shalt not whine and complain when some people’s crap turns out to be nicer than yours.

III. Thou shalt take a moment to consider whether you might be better off just not buying this crap.

IV. Thou shalt not expect better crap just because things are different this time. Crap is crap.

V. To paraphrase Stephen Stills, shalt thou not get the crap you want, want the crap you get.

VI. Shalt thou receive Woot-Off lights only, thou shalt consider that crap enough.

Normally commandment #1 says "at least THREE crappy items." I guess the crap is less guaranteed than usual.

Happy 6th, Woot!
