You're welcome and thanks! It is fun for me. You should hear me laughing and talking to myself during the games. I should broadcast sometime if I knew how.

The only disadvantage to tonight's game, was CowboyDan couldn't ask if if would fit in his mouth, and should he try anyway...

Believe me, I try for obscure! I think limiting the bracketing questions might help. Especially whether it's been offered on woot before.

EDIT: Although you should have heard me scream when I read tenkin's guess. LOL. Son hollered down "NO WAY!!"



Actually, I was certain after the second pic, but with no one else on the right track, I decided to wait on the third and then it really threw me for a loop. I was really quite confused by the blue translucent plastic. I own a Neato and nothing in the box looked remotely close to that. So, I kinda decided to take a stab in the dark... Really didn't expect to be right.

Funny that I thought the same thing when devising it. LOL.

Not sure I'd do an all image game. I miss the interaction. Might meld the two some how.....


OH REMEMBER: Next game is Sunday @11pm CST to guess Monday's item. We break for the weekend.



I like the interactions too.

Why not play the guessing game as before, but instead of giving written clues, you just post the pictures?

Post pictures of clues maybe, not even pictures of item?

Also, this was a blast! I really liked it and I'll definitely be back to do it again on Sunday. I was on the phone with my GF at 11 and I just yelled "I GOTTA GO, PLAYING WOOT! CLUE! BYE!" She was mad at me until she found out I won.

Thanks, TT (And, of course, Woot), for doing this. It's really awesome.

Sorry, still on "type fast" mode, If it's not too much work, incorporating pic or pieces of pics with the one question at a time and no bracket questions, so lets say you start out with a "pic clue" or word clue and the next time opposite

I'm was just pondering more on that. Pictures can throw things off a bit more than words can, I bet.

Warm, hot, cold....

Remember doing that with guessing games when you were a kid?

Yep, I think that may be the way to go. I have a couple days to ponder and get ready for Monday. The good thing about that is that I don't have to come up with so many picture clues... just one or two.

Worst timing on the next woot. Just got back from blowing cash at the casino that I could have used for that Neato. D:

If Amazon offers for $400, I wonder what woot will offer it for. Great reviews, though!

Every review is bad because [people] like you buy it and don't know what they are supposed to be for.

Took the words right out of my toothless whiskey stone chewing mouth, I know how to use them now though, and they don't melt...

Looking forward to using these in iced tea. Hopefully, I won't have to use as much tea now, if it won't get watered down. Assuming that I can cut my consumption in half, thanks to these, they'll pay for themselves in about 8 months.

So Anyone else mysteriously receive their whiskey stones today? Last night I got an email from my ups that I had a shipment arriving today from amazon, It originated from Indianapolis, hmm, couldn't figure it out, none of the reference numbers were my woot order number, but what arrives on my porch? an order of whiskey stones.

I sure hope this new drop ship method doesn't short the guys in the woot warehouse any work. it also came UPS not smart-post, hmmm

Disappointed in these. When it didn't work well to cool my Bourbon, I thought it may work better in my coffee. Nope.

Size is deceptive I think. They are no larger than 1 cm^3 each and for sure they only cool your drink. I hate drinking whiskey straight and these did not help. Cools wine nicely. Perfect for most reds. Certainly gets a glass below room temp but not as cold as when I leave it in the fridge too long on accident.
