Woot - you big tease. It happens to be my 30th birthday next week too, and I think this is my lucky day when the blue circle of hopeless doom engulfs my attempts again. I clicked on the i want one when the bar was 90% full and alas it never went got any further than that.
Wooter since 2005, but still 0 branches of cedar.

I hope this one is better than the one last month. The birthday baggie was truly the worst I've ever received.
I did notice something odd...my name was misspelled on the order page, which doesn't make sense because I haven't changed anything and I just ordered a shirt on Monday. I wonder if w00t screwed around with some people just to make this last longer? I had to change the info and go back in, but I still scored.

I only casually come to Woot...I got lucky this time and grabbed my 2nd bag ever!

Seriously. even with frantic F5-bashing, I never get to see it, because the servers get so suddenly overloaded that NOTHING happens.
On the rare instance it gets to show the picture before it sells out (usually not), I then get to wait for it to try and get to the order screen.
By the time it churns through to the order screen, of course, it has sold out. This is usually within about thirteen seconds, tops.
Seriously.. All I want is a chance at what the greedy bastards with the Bag scripts are hogging. Can we add some sort of Captcha or something? Please?

After who knows how long, I finally got a Bindle of Carrots. I can finally feel the excitement and eventual disappointment of getting one.
