regroeg wrote:So who has checked FedEx for shipping confirmation?

I just received shipping confirmations for two other WO items (mini-monkeys and earbuds, both purchased on day 1), so give it 2-3 business days for crap shipments to head out the door. I predict most carp will ship on Monday and Tuesday.

I haven't seen a letter in a while. TPW has moved on, so maybe that was his policy as the Woot-off project manager. Of course, there were some really nice hauls in the last couple I followed. One fellow got a nice projector in a baggie a few times back. They used to ship out TVs and such, so maybe they are dispensing with drop shipments and sending out one or two really nice lumps of coal.

I know I am, and I suggest we should start this practice as a tradition so we can all share in the Bag of Coal Opening experience at the same time.

Heck I am not waiting, Last year I used the stuff for presents for inlaws and such who only give me stuff they picked up from the thrift store. I had Photo Ornaments and some other stuff,

Well you could put woot order tracking bot in your blocked senders/spam list

^^ I usually receive the Burgandy Olfactory Center 1-3 days before the tracking even show up.

Hello fellow Wooters!

Traditionally, as love/hate messages are starting to wind down, I'm here to say "Hi".

This time not empty-handed either! Scored my BоC #20 this round!

So, at this time just wishing to welcome the crаp newcomers and welcome back the veterans and everyone in between and wish everyone best of luck and the greatest of hauls!

My SmartPost primer is coming up as we move closer to anticipated shipping time, however if you are eager to begin tracking by reference NOW (I already started) - you can read it in one of my previous postings, such as here.

Thanks LEM. It's good to see the old-timers like you and mikebbass are still around still giving their two cents. Between NightGhost and TPW leaving this past year, it seem the woot! veterans are becoming slim in the ranks.

I am not going anywhere Carpan. I'll be wooting til i'm old(er) and grey(er). Or to put it in republican terms, you can have my Woot when you pry it from my cold dead fingers. and even then I am pretty sure there will be a zombie.woot once the zombiegeddon begins.

Does that mean a zombie woot Burgandy Olfactory Center will be Bag Of Brains?

You will just have to wait and see, Im guessing next year if the Mayans have anything to say about it.

PS Woot, when zombie.woot goes live, I dont need a percentage, just a credit for the tittle, and maybe a lifetime supply of brains. Im too lazy to go lumbering around the neighborhood chasing bleeders.

You guys are really thinking ahead. I am just thinking as far as when I get this shipment of Berries of Constipation. Thinking ahead probably won't go any farther than xmas eve when hopefully the post the next Blinged-Out Cabbage

Scored my 4th Bag of Coal since joining in 2005. Woot gods, Please send me the winning lotto ticket in my Bag of Coal! My job situation just got sketchy.... Anyways, Good luck all! Looking forward to watching the forum here for the next bit.

Wonderful, I got it. I love tracking things. I never get to keep up with all the posts and love to see what everyone is getting. Here lately everyone gets the same thing so it's not as hard to keep up with.

I actaully had it load, and had the wrong security code for my credit card. when it reloaded and said wrong code, by the time i put the right one in it was sold out so sad

What is considered a quality post? I see some people have them and who says what is quality and what is not?

ipgreen wrote:What is considered a quality post? I see some people have them and who says what is quality and what is not?

That is all up to the woot gods. I advise sacrificing the ribs of a pig after slowly smoking them for hours and then basting them in BBQ sauce. If there is one thing they love its RIBS...its possible I might be projecting. I need to make ribs. Ill post pictures

Thanks to you and all others who replied below. I'm glad there are quite a few old timers around here! As to seeing some prominent community/staff members go, it's sad, but it's the norm of life. Some are leaving, others are joining the ranks! As to woot veterans becoming "slim" - I have to show this post to my wife - as she keeps on claiming the opposite :/

At any pace, I'm here, and if sometimes I'm less active in some of the BоC threads where I did not score one - the truth is, every time it's starting to smell crappy on Woot - I'm there wearing out my "F5" key as aggressively as ever, for as long as I can find some sort of computer-like device and internet link at the time!

P.S. Gotta edit my primer before reposting in this thread to reflect the changes in the community... So who is the official crapsmaster after TPW's departure? I've seen posts by inkycatz and ThunderThighs in the past BоC threads. Must be one of them? Or both?

Great now I am going to leave early for lunch. I will get some short ribs wrapped in bacon and deep fried.

I like my BBQ done a bit differently, but I am appreciative of the sentiment.

inkycatz wrote:I like my BBQ done a bit differently, but I am appreciative of the sentiment.

Question:

Does the word 'BBQ' describe the appliance on which you cook, or the food that is produced on said appliance?

we're listening.....I am always willing to try a new BBQ style.

ipgreen wrote:What is considered a quality post? I see some people have them and who says what is quality and what is not?

A quality post is a post selected by the Woot Gods on a completely biased and unpredictable basis from the bulk of the posts in a thread to be featured on the first pаge of such thread (and also last few featured on product page during the product sale). The number of quality posts next to a name is the number of times that Wooter's posts were selected.

While providing useful, entertaining, fun or otherwise good information in a posts somewhat bumps up your chances to earn a quality post - especially if posted within first hour of product sale, you never know what other posts may touch the Gods to become a QР...

That really depends on what you are cooking and where you are cooking.

dbcooper wrote:Question:

Let me clarify some on this.

BBQ generally refers some type of meet that has been cooked outdoors on an apparatus powered by wood, charcoal or some combination. Some have even used propane and lava rocks, but the purist will tell you that is not authentic.

The appliance used most likely is a grill or pit. Please keep in mind a pit is not necessarily ground related as some pits are elaborate designs sometimes costing in the 10s of thousands of dollars.

Based on what part of the country you are from sauce or dry rub comes into play and is also considered a large part what constitutes true BBQ.

My version of RIBS (must be capitalized) dry rubbed then smoked outside in a smoker for hours and hours until they are almost falling off the bone, then they are based with bbq sauce and finished on the grill so the sauce can caramelize. Now I am very hungry.

You must live somewhere in the Northeast. Beautiful combination I do love the caramelized sauce.

BBQ is the end product. I personally use a slow cooker for my meaty goodness.

As for my version of BBQ, it is similar to this, with an appropriate slaw side.

Cornbread is always appropriate.

I hope my Burgandy Olfactory Center has ribs.

I do love short ribs in the slow cooker. Approved!!!

That I do. I grew up in San Francisco but I now live outside of Philly.

I must be doing something wrong, because I cannot add mine. The button does not seem to work after adding the "password" obtained above the button.

This. I reloaded the white page many, many times this run-through, and scored a bag. I had no idea that it would work, but I knew that going back wouldn't. I had about four windows open and three of them went white at one point or another. It still seems really weird.

WOW!!! Bacon cornbread that sounds great, I have put bacon in everything including bourbon. but never thought about cornbread. That is truly inspired

No more calls...We have a winner!

The term 'BBQ' is not a verb, and it does not describe anything you cannot eat. I like ALL kinds of BBQ, but have a special love for my native NC, pulled pork, hickory smoked variety. Give me a washtub full of icy cold bottled beer, a cool spring evening, and a whole pig smoking in a pig cooker, add some slaw, hush puppies, boiled potatoes and a good bluegrass band, and I'm in HOG HEAVEN.
