Yes, I know its too early, but I am already checking the fedex site. It makes me feel like I am doing something. The anticipation!!!!!

"To the most beautiful moment in life, Better than a deed, better than a memory, the moment... of anticipation!"

grr, yet another android tablet on the woot page... I know it seems futile, but I'm hoping to get one in my Box of cellophane-wrapped-texas-air ... so I'm not ordering this one that's up right now ...

That, and the fact that I haven't started making money in my new job, so I can't afford it yet.

#8 for me. hopefully it'll be the first one with good stuff in it. cmon woot gods

Guys, don't set yourselves up for disappointment. You bought crap, expect crap. Anything extra is gravy. I just hope there is something inside that is of use to me.

FWIW I'm 2/3 in useful crap. Our first Barrels of Crud had a crapload of Sansa players that we handed to young counsins who really wanted MP3 players (we had to buy 2 PC cables at $3 each, but, eh cheap presents.) Also I one of our good friends took one and actually gave us $10 for it I think (made our money back.) There was also a JVC camcorder, that sometimes works (dunno why I keep it.)
Bag 2 came with 12 cedar grill planks, which is good, because I was running low. (Basically money made back.) Granted, it was winter and I haven't had much time to grill since then, but they don't go bad. (There was also some other stuff in there that just got pitched.)
Box 3 came with stuff so unmemorable...well you get the idea. I think I pitched the whole thing.
In any case this makes Box 4 (or $32 worth of crap) and I'd say I'm more or less break even (and I haven't even gotten box 4 yet).

Ahh, the servers, they no fail me! Patience is the name of the game, since I'll likely be on a business trip as they begin arriving all over the US. I've cleared out the loading dock just in case it's a pallet of cardboard boxes, or a pallet of glow sticks!

I'd love the latter -- I'd almost consider spreading them out on the driveway to crush them all with my car at once, creating a driveway spectacle that would be seen from space!

Well, my wife's flying piggy shipped over the weekend, I'm guessing these will ship pretty soon.

If someone has a problem with impulse control and disappointment, perhaps they're not really cut out for woot! message boards and Barrels of Crud#39;s. I got the fabulous head and wrist bands, which were a complete and total surprise because I made the conscious effort to stay away once the boxes were cast to the four winds. I wanted to be surprised, and surprised I was.

Well this week e should start seeing shipping notifications and weight/delivery dates. History has taught us a few lessons on this

1. Your Barrels of Crud may arrive before your shipping notification email

2. Your Barrels of Crud may lose weight in transit like a supermodel at a bulimia festival

3. Your Barrels of Crud may gain weight in transit like me during football season.

4. Your Barrels of Crud may arrive early, like an unwanted in-law

5. Your Barrels of Crud may arrive late, like a period for a promiscuous prom queen.

6. Much like popularity in high school the following statement in your shipping notification doesn't mean anything "Your order may contain multiple packages that arrive on different days..."

7. Like my 1980's music collection Your 1.lb place holder may never update

8. Even if you live in the loft above the Woot offices, Your Barrels of Crud may travel to MARTINSBURG, WV where it will party with many of its Barrels of Crud brothers

9. If your Barrels of Crud leaves the warehouse in the first batch it only means that its impatient. If it leave in the last batch, it only means its lazy.

10. Enjoy this phase, its the best part

Makes sense, If you want to be surprised grab a crossword puzzle and get away from the PC.

Here's a few other things to note:

1. Oregon/Washington residents may have their boxes shipped FedEx Home instead. This means no Sunday or Monday delivery.
   
2. Dimensions of your package may change, much like playing in the ocean here in Oregon.
   
3. If shipped via FedEx home to an office, your package won't even be put on a truck for Saturday delivery. The FedEx tracker will tell you different, but it is all lies. (It also means you won't get your package until Tuesday.)
   
4. With FedEx it isn't unheard of to have your package go from TX->CA->WA->PA->WA->OR. I wish I was kidding about that. The kicker was it was a SD card that could have been put into an envelope and sent USPS for 42 cents, without the nonsense.

True dat. I've actually had a Smartpost delivery get to the nearest FedEx sorting facility, be shipped to another one further away after driving right past my house, pass it again on a return trip before finally being correctly routed to my post office. I was tempted to create a road blockage and start looting FedEx trucks. TEMPTED. I came around. Now, had it been a bag of crap, then I think I might have.

This is my ninth Bag of Cuuuuuute! and I have to say, I always enjoy digging into them, even when I would rather have received a box of bird droppings after I'm done.

I don't know about that one. That is actual crap though.

I am positively stoked to see what sort of randomness can be shoved in a box this time. I'm hoping for something that can be a relic, a family heirloom, a treasure that will be unearthed by hundreds of thousands of years from now and displayed as a relic of days gone by like the green battery operated duster that I received in my first bag. Oh how I love that duster despite the fact that it eats batteries and does little to no good besides scaring the b'jeebus out of cats.

I couldnt agree more. In fact I am hoping for something that makes me say " What the hell is that?"

I have been reading the comments and noticed it seems that people are dissapointed in the current form of Crap. the thing for me is i bought for two reasons. First my mom before she died never got one and i always rubbed it in her face when i got one so to my departed Mother I love you but na na na booo boo

Second i know it's going to suck but the 2 week wait is what makes it fun.. I just spend 8 bucks on this? Wakko Talks Faboo!

But again hey mom Naa naa miss you.

I laughed... Thank you sir

This

Typically, the joy of the anticipation far outweighs the results

I'm excited my 5th Barrels of Crud to come!!! soon.. well by the end of the week hopefully the shipping info will come out, it great hearing when the Barrels of Crud are going to arrive... But the problem is 'Where are they going??' so my suggestion is that along with posting the expected delivery date and weight that you include your general area-

you dont have to go down to the exact town but the state/ and or area of the state if its a larger one for example I would add 'Southwest Minnesota' for my area- that way people close to my area who have yet to get a notice might have a better idea on delivery

Ahhh....the eye of the Barrels of Crud storm...so calm and peaceful in here...

How do you get this score?
Do you have to sign up to a monthly service?
Isn't supposed to be three different scores?

haha I went and got mine.

First let me say... I am relatively new to Woot and have enjoyed everyones cander, wittiness, and camaraderie. Some serioulsy funny stuff!

Being my first Bandolier Of Carrots, I hope for one thing.

1. It lives up to the hype.

When I talk about the contents; I want people to laugh and/or be astonished at the same time. Causing all others, of which I have touted the grandur of Woot, to be hyped up as much as I am over someones elses garbage.

Here's to hope!
Cheers!

So my Bag of Cuuuuuute! could already be in transit before the confirmation email? Maybe these are Bags of Ninjas.

I hope I get something nice, I could use it. I just found out I'm going to be a Daddy... and money is tight...

If woot reads these comments, please let it be known that we could use all things baby (crib, stroller, rocker, etc)

Or, perhaps a big screen TV for the 'Your Baby can Learn DVDs'

Did NOT see this coming...

When are you due? Mine's got a delivery estimate of 4 March!

Despite my mediocre Woot tally, I apparently am a "respectable" nerd:

We just found out recently, we aren't due until late august, early september...

You think the anticipation for the Bag of Cuuuuuute! is bad... I can't wait for the baby!!
