I'm actually jealous of the letter itself...all bag/poc aside!

Obviously you haven't followed many Random Crap threads..... More often than not, the letters show up in boxes with a lot more than the standard stuff....plus the letter. Calling BS over this is simply.....uh..... BS.
Some examples:

8/20/2010
6/24/2010
and another 6/24/2010 letter.

My crap.

1 "would you rather" 2010 desktop calendar

2 iPhone fitted cases

1 McGladery hat

1 Mcgladery backpack

Good thing there's lots of room in the dumpster.

What a load of crap this was.

Nothing useful or fun at all.

The Basket of Cats did indeed arrive today!

They came in at the expected 6.4 lb in a 12x12x18 standard Woot-tainer.



Contents:
12 Bags of Texas Woot-Gas, 2 expired (too shy to be photographed)
1 McGladrey PGA Golf Hat
1 McGladrey PGA Backpack
1 iPhone fitted case
2 Philips HDMI cord extenders
1 VuPoint Digital Film & Slide Camera
1 Nishika 3D Film(!)Camera

Cats Ginger and Luna discuss who will take possession of the Woot-tainer, having no interest in the other items.

Since I have an interest in 3D photography, I would have loved to have the camera about 15 years ago. Now, not so much. I'll give the scanner a try, see how it compares to the other film scanning devices I have. The HDMI adapters may be handy at some point, so I'll keep them. The iPhone case will get donated to a charity auction, possibly along with the cap and backpack.

Not too bad a collection of things for my 13th Basket of Cats!

Also arriving today, my Rally to Restore Sanity Commemorative Merchandise. We were there, along with 215,000 of our friends. Stay Sane!

I agree about the number of items in the box not making a difference, but don't the letters usually come on Woot stationary? Have any past letters showed up on lined notebook paper (folded or not)?

My bucket of candy:
1x Cyber Acoustics 5.1 Surround sound speakers
1x PGA Tour hat
1x PGA Tour backpack
2x Philips HDMI Extenders
2x Fact or Crap Music Edition - 2010 Calendar

The speakers completely surprised me...thanks woot!

They usually come on woot stationary, this is correct.

I can't think of any letters in recent memory that have come on lined paper.

It's pretty interesting...I don't see many of the baggie regulars in here. Seems a lot of first timers.

Good on'ya!

Generic stuff in my 2.1 lb crap:

1x PGA golf hat
1x PGA golf shoulder sling bag
2x Philips F/F foldable HDMI extenders
1x SNAP digital camera
1x iPhone 3G/3Gs fitted case.

I have those speakers (first item I bought from happy hour)...I'm a fan. Just watch your EQ levels as they get tinny if you go a bit too high in the mids.

Yup, pretty crappy.

Wow, that's definitely the worst crap yet. There should be a prize for "worst crap." Like a date with Nancy Pelosi. She'll have plenty of time very soon.

my lazy ass mail person once again refused to make a delivery (2nd time this month, the last one was actually important) - tracking info updated from "out for delivery" to "unavailable- notice left" 30 min ago. I've been home all afternoon, no notice to be found... and the 800 number can't even tell me which office to pick it up at.

If it isn't, I'm going to be a little peeved.

Has anyone tallied up the items reported by letter recipients? I'm afraid I don't participate much in these threads.

Ok, so I got my Bucket of Candy today and I have to say the name is fitting. Not one thing I will ever use. Not 1! I'm not sour but I am disappointed.

Don't forget the Crap Commandments:

THE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS v3.0
I. Thou shalt expect nothing beyond ONE bag of some kind and THREE 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.

;)

roczx wrote:9 items(2 same item)

Gee. That was helpful.

I know that past letter recipients have gotten things like a 32" TV, a 65" TV, pallets of car wax, a pallet of assorted toys and electronics, a pallet of military action figures, etc... I was just wondering if anyone's gathered all of the stats in one place or not.

A friend of mine told me to wear the hat, I'd look cute in it. I told her to bite me, I'll crap in the hat.

I can use the backpack as a litter bag next time I clean the litterboxes, at least put it so some good use.

I got 3 water sprinklers. Anybody want to trade??
