I finally got my first Big Orphaned Cetacea after 6 years of trying!!! Yay!!! I hope I get something really crappy!

Bee Oh Si numero three for me :-)

Can't believe I turned around and was chatting with a co-worker and this pops up. After YEARS of begging the Woot Gods to quit putting this up during my commute home, today they finally listen and I couldn't take advantage. Curse you Murphy!!

Just joined last week Thursday to get the ladder. Got my first Big o' Cosmos! I am addicted!

Edit: Joined a while ago in terms of getting an account. Got my first woot last Thursday.

I had two computers open. A PC and a Mac. Both ran Chrome. The Mac went through without a problem. The PC stalled like nobody's business. And I even started the PC first. Moved on to the Mac when the PC stalled.

wow after so many years of trying I get my very 1st BAG O CRAPOLA!!!!!

w00t my first Big o' Cosmos

ARRGH Timed out! First time i've even seen it though.

First one for me. And I even had time to see it, log in to Woot (had just gotten home), have one page error out on me, and still got one.

Call me nuts if you like, but I've had a half dozen bags over the past couple of years, and frankly, they have become pretty Sirius GPP... All the excitement only to be let down, unless you're one of the lucky few letter recipients: that's what keeps me trying.

The difference now however, is that I don't get that sense of disappointment when I don't score one.

Having said all that, congrats to all the lucky ones who were able to score, especially those first timers...

Third one for me yes!!!!!!

I got one, my employee's didn't. I yelled "BAG O CRAP" across the office. We all hit the buy button within 10 seconds of each other.

This is my second!

I still use my sling bag from the first one.

That's it! I'm done with woot! All this effort to get a Bee Oh Cee and - wait - what's that? I got one.

Never mind then. Teh woot is teh awesome!

Click with in the first 5 seconds of going up. Still connecting after they are all gone :'0 sigh.

It is happening as I type this. Almost as pretty as a Bloated Orca Carcass

Well, everything went pretty quick this time, but I'm stuck on the "We've reserved a product for you, and are now processing your credit card. ".

Got the last two Big o' Cosmos's pretty easily. Not sure what will happen this time, I know my paypal account is good, and it says its reserved a product... but it is a Big o' Cosmos. Says it could take 20-30 minutes, guess I'll have to wait and see.

EDIT: Took about 14 minutes but finally said 'Order is Is'. Yay #3.

On a conference call --- rrrrrrrrrr. Will I ever get one of these?

timed out on the order confirmation page! first time it's done that for me.

congrats to all.. enjoy your junk!

This had to be the weirdest Big Orphaned Cetacea w00t I've ever seen. The page loaded instantly and the sale went through with maybe a 5 or 10 second "thinking" period. I was boggled........... It NEVER works that way!

Even weirder is that the main page didn't instantly go to Sold Out. It actually showed the progress bar going down for a while. I guess there must have been a mass bathroom break going on or something.

Whatever the case...... I GOT MINE!

Got it :-) Fourth bag, first purchase in a year and a half - it's been too long! Opened 4 side-by-side tabs to the Woot off and clicked I Want One on all of them. The first three froze up, but the fourth moved like a hot knife through butter. Woot woot!

My order got denied for some reason - is there a way to resubmit after the stuff is gone? I have used this card many times before, so Im not sure what happened.

A bit earlier then then the usual Big o' Cosmos time.

BOOM!

This crusty veteran has just landed Big Orphaned Cetacea #6!

Welcome to the game of disappointment.

I clicked the moment it came up as I was watching for a mac compatible vacuum.

Seriously clicked the instant it appeared and it immediately accepted order - then sat at blank order page.

I still wish they went by either seniority or number of woots bought to determine who gets them - not who has the fastest bot.

Got one!

The page was loading super slow so I resubmitted it a few times.. finally got to the final page with the last big button and hit it.. it never did finish loading but I got a confirmation email in my inbox! SCORE!

Didn't see this one until 6 minutes after it ended, didn't change the result which is always the same.....nothing!

Number 2!! Get it? number 2? get it? do ya get it? number 2. I am hilarious!

First ever. Only took me like 3 years or so.

I can't believe I actually got one And I came in late ......this day just got soooo much better.

We, the Hitchhikers I STILL DONT HAVE MY TRACKING INFO...

I shalt not be gettin into crap heaven....silently weeps

Almost a year and got by first Big Orphaned Cetacea!! WOO HOO! Sooo excited!

Got one! First one in a loooong time

WOOOO!! First Bushel of Corkies!! It is a great day!!

....why would you not already be logged in if you knew it was coming? Having to log in first pretty much GUARANTEES you will not get one.

Forgot to add that I've got a Premium Speed Cable.....you want customers, try speeding up your own archaic system!

Luckily the Boss did not wander in while I was waiting for the Stupidly Large button to load. In for 1! Thank you Woot! gods!

i finally got a bandoleer of carrots

Hit "I Want One" button, connection times out.
RAAAAAAGE!

Ended up just sending me to the main woot page so I could look at some lovely smoke alarms. Thanks, woot.
