Getting secretly closer to heaven, one Woot at a time. (Or, at least doing a great job sucking time away from my life.. aha! It all makes perfect sense now)

My favorite purchase was the Vivatar 8.1MP Camera and I love it! This trusty camera is still is used to this day with no problems.

This is my 2nd ever Bunnies Ogling Carrots -- first was Christmas of 2010. It's been a while!

2. Woot forum has a filter on it that replaces certain letter combinations with other letter combinations. This is why some people don't bother calling it (thou which can not be said) what it is, but using some affectionate name that it would get filtered and possibly replaced with anyways.

ROFL.. it just dawned on me when I read that, i typed it out exactly like that "bunnies ogling carrots", then I re-read my post where it was changed to Barrel of Crops. then I realised this was a thread for Bee Oh See's

/forehead smack

I thought i missed out on something funny with bunnies.

I keep thinking to myself, hurry up and ship it... but then again, they can take as longgg as they need to fill my bag with crap!

pohlmacs wrote:Wow, just realized that I had my 5-year anniversary with Woot. I'm not sure that I want to calculate what I've spent, either.

Great.... now I think I am going to have to go and do this considering I kinda started it.

Anticipating your Bunnies Ogling Carrots shipping notice is like going on a blind date. You really want to know weight and dimensions but you are also kind of scared to find out.

Looking forward to my second Bucket of Coconuts. First one I got on the anniversary back in 2010 when you had to get a 6 from the stock market.

Well worth the two years of trying!

The wait is the worst part of winning one.

I really hope that Colonel Crap lives up to a promise made a couple of months ago to increase the quality of the Crap included in these bags.

I would be happy if my Crap was just different than the Crap most other people get.

And the weight and size never means anything! I swore I had one with a golf club from seeing previous Woots! but nope!

If this was a democracy that's a Q_P +1

Try Fed-Ex Home delivery. That's how all of my Woot products are shipped. I have never had it change from 1lb weight, on any of my items. It's kinda nice, but kinda torture too.

Since we're comparing our wootenises...

Best purchase - either the Eco Canteen Stainless Steel 26 Ounce Water Bottle – 2 Pack or my mom's Dyson DC07 Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner, but I've never really gotten anything I was unhappy with.

Worst purchase - ATI TV Wonder HDTV Tuner for PC. The whole purchase was a fiasco - they didn't ship with a required piece, and it took several days or weeks to get it all straightened out.

Weirdest Bushel of Codfish - a tie between 50 oversized novelty universal remotes (most of them went to a local nursing home) and a small box stuffed with random memory cards, including a broken digicam with horrifying pictures of a nude, extremely obese African-American woman. The memory card was nice, though. Back then, 2GB cards were $$$!

Most notable purchase - Luv n' Care Fleece Baby Blankets - 6 Pack. I split the six-pack between my two sisters-in-law, and, I kid you not, the only way those kids sleep is with a woot blanket underneath them. I have standing orders to buy the same deal next time I see it so that they get more, but I haven't seen it up in over a year, now.

Overall, I have spent $953.41 on 38 items from woot over the last 4 years. Tomorrow is my 4 year anniversary with woot, in fact! I have gotten several Big Ornery Cattle (Even my wife, who doesn't really get it, gets excited when I snag one!) and bought a few woot-branded items. The nurses at the hospital always get a kick when my wife has to go in, because the giant flying monkey always comes with us. My co-workers look admiringly on my woot-off lights that are next to my screen in my cube in the lab. Almost all of my t-shirts are from woot. I even have the same birthday (July 12) as Woot! WE WERE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER! IT IS FATE!

Lastly, since I live in the Dallas-area, it has been a lifelong dream to tour the Woot facility in Carrollton, and to meet The Man With The Nacho-Cheese Colored Voice himself, Matthew Shultz (or at least get his autograph!).

I think I might need therapy...

I'm a relative foal, but I'm curious, what if they're waiting to ship for April Fool's since it's so close (but also on a Sunday)??

Nah, they're just still hungover. Give them a few more days.

I so thought I got one, first time ever! I got to the everything looks good page, but alas, no paypal payment, and nothing in my account saying I got one *sigh* I guess I will never get one! lol

alexdotlee wrote:I am very excited for my first barrel of crops. The suspense is killing me!

The end result is almost always disappointing. But the build up and suspense of getting there is worth it.

I just got my first Blinking Orange Crockpot and man am I WAY too excited. I think I just may prefer this to sex - well maybe not.

Haha, you won't be saying that after you receive it. But get excited! The Bunnies Ogling Carrots is a lot of fun, and even more fun if you get an impressive haul.

I've turned down sex during a woot-off near 5pm on day 2 or 3 before...

Wife has since learned that Woot-offs are sacred. :3

LOL, I almost spit out the water I was drinking when I read this:

I'm starting to get all bouncy about receiving tracking information and status updates!! AAaaah, this is (probably) the best part about snagging a Bunnies Ogling Carrots!

I got excited and my socks are wet...

So I've gotten my tracking info and it is a couple of days away, but according to FedEx it is only .5 lbs? I know the weight tends to change, but it has changed cities going on the 3rd time and it has been the same. Anyone ever hear of a Benefits of Carrollton that light?

You sure it is a tracking number for the Bunnies Ogling Carrots and not something else, like a shirt? Did you actually get an email with tracking info? Nobody else has posted tracking weight yet, and I would think if it was for the crap, more people would have by now. Especially if yours has already made it to more than one city.

Why would you stop F5'ing? The above message means the time is near - if anything, you should F5 twice as much.

This is what I get for checking things on my work PC with minimized windows. Yep, it was my random SHIRT I ordered. The tracking for it came right after my confirmation email for my Random Crap. Le Sigh. Oh well, I look forward to my ACTUAL Bunnies Ogling Carrots coming...

I'm sorry but this is hilarious. Glad I've never been on a true blind date, because I can only imagine.

Hello, fellow wooters!

My deepest apologies for not showing up earlier, as I was running around in real life! Glad to see there are some helpful folks who already posted my SmartPost primer a couple of times, even if neither was the latest version :\.

The latest and greatest version will be posted as some deployment activity begins taking place (or the time would be approaching for such). Those who want to look at it NOW can refer to the previous BоC offering.

One way or another, I'm happily here holding a direct order from the Colonel to to receive one bag full of Crap, and so does my wife! I got lucky on the first and most unexpected offering, while wife was able to jump in (with my expert help of course) onto the last train that left at midnight...

And taking this opportunity let me salute to Colonel Crap for spreading out the distribution to last the entire day! No matter what time of day the coveted bag there were complaints that it happened during the commute time or too early or too late. This time there was a bag for every one to try for! Keep up the good work, sir!

Welcome to another round Lem. I am glad to see you here with us.

Glad to see familiar faces here!

Anxiously awaiting the next update from the Colonel, as that will likely mean that the craps have been shipped!
