Got the okay to open it early. Contents:


1x flower bag
2x donut lip gloss
1x headband
1x ugly brown finger towel with chandelier on it
1x task clips crap/sh*t/caca/merde
9x bags of air (that sweet sweet Texas air)

Thanks woot!

Okay, I think I was robbed, or a letter is on its way. I only received 2 items and a bag! Now what?

Duh, I received the table top tri-pod, a red duffle bag and the wife just loves the Earl Grey tea round box thingy. Has 36 bags of Earl Grey tea goodness as she says. She is kind of fondling it funny. Hmmmm....

I sent the email to the Woot God's about the missing third item which must obviously be a letter stating that the third item just wouldn't fit. I am sure that is what it is WINK, LAUGH, WINK!

Thanks Woot! It's going to be a great year!

I don't have permission to open yet....sans wife. But I can tell you mine came in a very "non standard" dell box.

I can honestly say that if my wife read this, she would think that I wrote it. With the exception of writing to Woot and recieving a letter from Woot

Just open my Christmas crap and received the except same Burgandy Olfactory Center as I did from the Dec 6 Burgandy Olfactory Center

1 Coffee House Bingo
2 Cupcake Lip Gloss
1 Wash cloth
1 flower Tote Bag

I’m a long time Wooter and have sent 1000s of new Wooters to your site over the years talking about the Burgandy Olfactory Center & and how awesome the Woot experience is.

I’ve been blessed by the Woot gods more often than most. For this alone I am grateful. But there is no more random in the Bag of Coals.

Woot please make it interesting again. I used to love to read the forums and enjoy the random craziness other people received even if my Burgandy Olfactory Center was not the best.

Gone are the days of Anvils, Blow up dolls, or Pinatas full of broken computer parts.

Now it’s just page after page of I received the standard Blah Blah Blah

It’s kind of like the old married couple, Who get it over with quick.

I guess all good things must end.

You are still the best & in my memories you always will be!

but it just is not the same.

A Broken Hearted Wooter

Well it looks like I got something that nobody else got....




A teeprong Meat fork!!! (maybe used, as it has a few dark water stains on it) Also can't wait to try out the tea, but it has a best use date of 11/15/11

mikebbass wrote:(Post of text and things)

I think you are my twin! I could not have said it better myself!

anybody who knows me knows about Woot!

I read mikebbass's post and nodded in agreement. Excellent post!

My husband and I got our boxes today, 3 days early. Nothing that hasn't been seen already, but will use everything, which means a good haul. Thanks Woot!

Combined:

2x small red duffel bags
4x misc hand towels/washcloths
1x ShamWow
1x Can O' Clips with the merde words (taking these to work to use on the boss's inventory lists)
1x tabletop tripod
1x Razor Imperator gaming mouse, refurbed

I hope the mouse works. Mine has been heading south and I was just saying how I was about due for a new one. Woot reads minds! :O

At first I though you'd both benefit from reading this page:

http://www.drugs.com/condition/obsessive-compulsive-disorder.html

Then I read the list and I think I have seen every one of those drugs listed on some late night attorney class action commercial. It appears to be dangerous to be medicated for ocd.

Maybe it's not obsession and you are both just stalkers. I don't think there is medication for that, so for now it appears to be the safer thing...until woot tires of you and dumps six tons of screaming monkeys on your houses.

Wouldn't want to be you two.

My 2.2 lb crap contained...

1 red duffel bag
1 Table Top Tripod
1 Purple finger towel with sparklys
1 "Mater Saves the Day" Play-a-sound book

Thanks Woot!

mikebbass wrote:ColonelCrap, You had me at "It"

Fanstastic. That made me smile.

Oh, and ColnelCrap, you have big shoes to fill. I look forward to your craptastic ways. I once got a cheap chinese electric car in a Bag of Coal that took me an hour to put together, and 2 minutes to break. All of the instructions and text on the box were non-english, and it was hard to put together. It sat on my mantle for a couple years before I had to throw it out due to it being a choking hazard for my kids. Top that (please).

TRADE OFFER

I got 5 EXTRA LARGE Ts.

If you received LARGE and would like to trade please reply and we can setup a trade.

Thanks
Shannon

Well, color me happy.

Besides a red nylon bag and a towel with a horsey on it and a Diva mit, I also got a ruby pink Microsoft Wireless Mouse 4000, new in the box, never been opened.

My Burgandy Olfactory Center

One green bag with flower, one brown washcloth (actually matches my bathroom colors!), 2 cupcake lip glosses, pack of restaurant bingo cards, and lastly... some weird figure from a playstation3 game. Not a bad haul considering what some got. Would have love a few shirts for the gym though!

My guess as to who killed Miss Scarlett is ColonelCrap, in the bathroom, with the foot flush.

Our craps arrived today but I'm waiting for my husband to get home before I open.

Do you have anyone to trade with yet? If not, I'm in.

Welcome aboard the great Woot Army. We are glad to have you. If there is anything we, as soldiers of Woot, can do to assist your mission, just ask.

I, for one, look forward to you executing your plan. Let the Sansas, Rombas, and misc. other carp start flowing again.

Thank you,
Your loyal soldier

edit: on the 1st page of this thread..

They started off as a way to tell the Burgandy Olfactory Center posts apart from the regular woot (computer) posts.

Here's mine:

1 - Reusable Orange Bag w/Pink Flower
1 - Fun Footflush
1 - Black Hand Towel
1 - Diva Darling Facial Mitt
5 - Assorted Colors XL Blank T-shirts

Nothin different here.

Thanks Woot!

My haul:

1. One crappy looking "gym bag"
2. One black washcloth with swirly design
3. One medium blue T-shirt
4. One Table Tripod

(sigh)

Just so that you know, that mouse has a three year warrantee and I know from experience Microsoft will quickly replace it if anything happens to it during those three years.
