I've been tracking my very first Big o' Cosmos and the weight stayed constant at 1.6 lbs. So much lighter than everyone else's - surely it would contain The Letter! I spent the last few nights going to sleep wondering what wonderful things Friday would bring! A pallet of coffee makers! A LED TV! Fingerless trekking gloves! Or maybe, just maybe Aqua-globes!

Finally, Friday afternoon comes, I rush home, go to the mailbox - no package, just the HOA bill. I go to the house - is it by the door? No. Dang! I'm not sure if I can take the strain of waiting another day. I come inside, and there it is in its 8.04"x8.04"x8.04" glory- the Mrs. had brought it inside! With trembling fingers, I slice the tape, and inside I find:
- Instructions to a RC helicopter.
- Used remote control to a RC helicopter
- Woot Calender
- Strawberry Stuff Sack.
Awesome!
The last time I blew $8 on something Jatravartid, I had to sit through 2 hours of the movie Skyline. But for this $8 I got weeks of anticipatory joy.
Thanks Woot!

Got the Mini Aqua globes... 2 sets of earmuffs....the pen and pencil refills.... 2 strawberry tote bags....


And 1 Haier 2GB MP3 Player. No software CD, and the drivers available in Windows 7 won't install. It was recognized by my computer, just long enough to become "installed" but that's it. I have the manual that I downloaded, but I think it is useless without the CD. Anyone own one of these that can rip a CD for me??? Or, tell me how to boot it up?

Not my first Bag o' Cosmos, but my first post, went pretty much the same as all the rest... 6.7 lbs, contained

1) 3-pack Mini Aqua Globes
2) Strawberry Bag
3) 180s ear warmers (perfect, it's cold up here by Buffalo...)
4) Nvizio Pen+Pencil refill kit

and unexpectedly, a Rival Vacuum Sealer. No wonder it was so heavy.

As far as crap goes, this was still worth the wait! Thanks, Woot!

Only 19 more days until my crap is suppose to arrive... I have not seen a letter yet so maybe there is hope for me! My husband called from the desert to see if it came yet. Most of you guys will get your April Fool's stuff before our March stash arrives. Patience is a virtue. I am just grateful that we get to participate in this. It is fun!

The 6lb crap has arrived.
One Strawberry Bag
One Stainless Steel Water bottle 24 oz
One Elmo Cowboy K'nex set
One Outlet Man
One 3-pack of mini-aquaglobes
Thanks Woot!

[/quote]

now i can use the mug/bottle. the bag looks like the cats could have fun. the outlet might be good for the den because of the different stuff we plug in. My wife likes the green globe, so idk what we will do. i hear they don't work so well.

as for the cowboy. i don't know.
i was really hoping for some 180 earmuffs. that would have been nice. or bucky balls. but i have the green ones coming on wed. but i own't get them for another week coz i won't be home to get them

I'm laughing hysterically at my first Big Orphaned Cetacea! I sure was not disappointed in its crappyness.

Items:

1. Woot Calendar
2. Three Mini Aqua Globes (I was hoping this was one of my items as I have way too many house plants to keep up with the watering.)
3. 1 broken remote control to some sort of car. It looks really old too.
4. 3 count them 3 lids to water bottles. Possibly to aluminum ones. No bottles. (I got a huge kick out of this)
5. The now famous Strawberry tote.


I have to say, I do love the humor of Big o' Cosmos. I am truly hooked and can't wait to attempt to capture another one of these elusive creatures.

I only got 2 craps. I think I'm going to call customer service. Though, the two were the best I've gotten yet. I got the mini aqua globes and a slide/negative scanner (that actually works). No bag.

Can someone explain what this strawberry thing is? I don't see how it's a bag. Looks like a keychain or somethin'.

My first Big Orphaned Cetacea!

1x fingerless trudge gloves
1x box of Aqua Globes
1x 180 ear warmer
1x Strawberry tote
2x Isotoner Leather fleece lined Gloves

Thanks woot I very much like my first Big Orphaned Cetacea, however I don't think I will be able to go for another one as now that all the waiting an anticipation is over, I somehow feel empty. I have nothing left to wait for, refresh fed ex every 10 minutes, guess what might be coming. Oh what am I saying, I'll be trying for the next one.

1 Electro Man power outlet

First ever Big Orphaned Cetacea came today.

1x 2011 Shirt woot calendar
1x stainless steel water bottle (threads for top stripped and won't stay on)
1x Aqua Globe Mini 3 pack (arrived unbroken)

Didn't get a bag at all in the package, I'm depressed for that fact, otherwise it's exactly as advertised, 3 craps.

So my Big o' Cosmos arrived today! woot!

I really appreciated getting some of the standard fare...

1X Strawberry Bag!! So cool and crappy!
1X Metal Bottle with a short straw! Should keep things cool and crappy!
1X The Elmo Cowboy thingy
1X Electro Man Power Cord
1X 3-pk Mini Aqua Globes

All usable, but I give the Strawberry bag about a ten percent chance of making it through only one trip.

Thanks for all of the fun!

I got my bag o' crap today (one business day earlier than expected) and got the following:

1 strawberry tote
1 woot calendar
1 set of aqua globes (unbroken)

And that's it. I only got 2 craps (plus the bag), and since this is my first time of crappiness, I'm not sure if I got jipped one crap or what. Anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks.

Overall, it was fun anticipating what I'd get in my Big Orphaned Cetacea and would do it again. But I'd like my last crap (if I'm entitled to another and Woot isn't counting the tote as said crap.)

Mine arrived early in the week, but I held off posting, for those trying to avoid a spoiler.

1 x Strawberry tote
1 x Sylvania SYL-WH930 wireless headphones
4 x Kanen in-ear earbuds
1 x Steel water bottle
1 x little tikes Moonica Lawn Mooower
1 x Flaming cape screamer

Pretty cool stuff, thanks woot! Have to see if the headphones work (don't seem broken, but have yet to try them), and hopefully find someone who can use the lawn mower toy. But I'll find uses for most of it.

3 pounds - 16.1"x12.3"x10.4" box =

1 x Strawberry tote
1 x Kanen in-ear earbuds
1 x Steel water bottle
1 x Flaming cape WOOT! monkey
1 x Set of 3 Aqua Globes - Mini (unbroken)

The straw in my water bottle is too short, but the flexible tubing looks to be easily replaced.

All in all, a good Bottle of Cola. I didn't get the Electroman I asked the WOOT! Gods to send, but that means I don't have to grow them the tomatoes I promised in return.

Slightly disappointed with my first Big o' Cosmos

Here's what I got:

1-Aqua Globes
1-Eco Canteen with a lid that doesn't fit (must go to some other water bottle)
1-2011 Woot Calendar

The canteen was in a small bubble wrap bag. Is that my bag? I'd happily take the little strawberry, but no...haha

Enjoyed the experience. Here's to hoping for a better loot next time.

UNIQUE ITEM!

Well, I uploaded my Bedroom of Concubines pictures to a file-sharing site. I didn't shrink them beforehand, so posting them here would make them a pain to view. Check them out here instead. Link leads to imgur.com.

I got mine on Friday, finally. Still have yet to actually get a shipping confirmation about it, humorously.

In the box was:

1x Aqua Globes Mini
1x Strawberry tote
1x large bike/outdoor gloves (fingerless)
1x Ear muffs
1x aroma-therapy clock (http://www.hammacher.com/Product/prog?promo=Personal-Care-Sound-Therapy&catid=214)

The clock is $70 retail, so that's cool!

Edit: forgot earmuffs

1 Strawberry bag
1 Stainless Steel water bottle
1 pair of 180s Fleece Ear Warmers (Very warm and perfect for winter here)

- 1 box of mini Aqua-globes (none broken and a perfect gift for my mom seeing as all plants that I touch seem to die)
- 1 Shirt.Woot calendar
- 1 Strawberry tote bag
- 1 Refurbished 4GB Sandisk Sansa e260 MP3 player (haven't tried this one out yet to make sure it works but still pretty nice considering Amazon has refurbished ones for $45-50)

I sit shaking my head, who needs to get a life more, You for having such joy with your toy, or me for reading each line with captivated amazement.
Where else could two be so amused for just $8.
Thanks for sharing!
