Everyone go on to bed, nothing to see here............just incase I'll take one for the team and and keep watch.

Baylor women win.
Just staying engaged.

le sigh...I have have had woot up all day with auto refresh extension running AND a an RSS watcher while I design logos...but nothing...so tired, sooo tired...I give up.

and btw, im tattling on you to Amazon for being big meany heads. I'm a prime member and literally get 3 boxes from them a week so they will listen to me!!!! You've been warned!

And today was a good day to watch 3 of the movies that have been in my DVR for about a year! 'Room for one more, honey!'

Who can tell me what that line is from?! Gotta do Something while this boring ac unit is still sitting here, taking up time and space!

Could just take $8 and a used Arby's sack over to Party City and see what we can get. It'd be about the same.

Bag or no bag, I definitely had fun today waiting, talking, working together, hunting, and speculating.

OCCUPY WOOT!

Seriously, though... they aren't obligated to sell crapsacks, to anyone. If you've chosen to spend your day waiting, hopefully you've gotten some mental compensation (cat pics, youtube vids, jokes with fellow wooters, etc) for spending your day off in front of a computer. Otherwise, why torture yourself?

I'm just having fun, I feel no obligation from them. I just like to see what they throw at us...

I wasn't able to be by a computer at midnight and only had my phone. Was worried I missed something, but I guess not...

I tried to buy a bag of Jerks form woot once, they sent me a sack full of mirrors.

Unless any of you live near headquarters.woot, I think the majority of wooters are content to complain vociferously.

The rest of us are too lazy to care beyond posting irrelevant things to a product page.

THAT is funny

You're Amazon's worst nightmare. They hope for people to buy Prime, then only order one or two things all year. You're costing them money in shipping, so expect absolutely nothing from them!

So on the Woot! calendar on April 1st, it says: Woot blows the Internet's mind yet again (2012)
Agree so far?

All I can think of now is Seinfeld;

"Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you."

Funny, I just got back from Arby's.

This day has been quite entertaining, just reading the posts off and on. Over 20 pages of posts for an AC unit, you'd wonder why it was so popular.

I actually think I was more productive around the house than I usually am for a Sunday and then jumping to take a quick peek at the blog and forums. Since I don't have to go to work tomorrow (laid off on Friday, no April Fool joke, I asked) this has been a nice distraction.

So you guys, I have an idea. I've been here for a while today, although just lurking mostly. So hear me out. What if, maybe the writers actually are on strike?? And the CEO wanted to sell a Barrel of Crops, but had nobody to do a hilarious write-up for it. So he asked the moderators to do the write-up, and it was just terrible. So they decided, "You know what, lets just not sell it." Huh guys? Think that's it?

Btw moderators, just kidding. I bet you guys would do terrific write-ups!

yeah, we didn't expect this at all...

I was here at 1am (eastern) to see if there was going to be a Woot-off. Seeing that there wasn't, I did manage to get about 5 hours of sleep before checking again. Other than a couple of trips to the store, have been here. I did post a time or two, but they got swept up in the cleanse.

Woot! Fact of the Day: May 16th is National Piercing Day!

I'm not far away and I've always wanted to turn in a resume and some writing samples to them.

Guess tomorrow's going to be a great day for it. :D

I kid.

April 1 has not been a date for a w00t-off, it's just been bag of cooties after a joke, riddle or puzzle is solved.

Sorry to hear that, man. I was in your shoes a few years ago. Take care of yourself.

Okay...somebody help me out here, I am SO confused, and there is no way I have the time to wade through all these comments. What on earth is going on here??? What is all this talk about there are Bags of Crap being sold, there aren't bags of crap being sold, buy a A/C unit, send me a PM, I've been up all night, has the code been broken yet, where's the secret message, etc. etc. etc. etc????

So, in another twist, a power outage has just hit our whole neighborhood. I'm typing this from my iPad, as the 3G signal still seems to be up. Sure I could save my battery for emergency calls in case I nod off and wake up to find my house a blazing inferno after knocking my candles over. But what fun is that?

Back to pressing F5...

Nope, just a bunch of us sitting around trying to post messages to see how quick they were deleted as the mods weeded out 16 pages of people to lazy to look themselves. No Barrel of Crops, no updates from the picket line.. this is more like a cocktail party than a frat party at this point, quiet, subdued and no reasonable expectation of getting lucky :P

I've been doing this from my new iPad 3 from day 1 of its release! It's super fast. Just hope the Bunnies Ogling Carrots doesn't come in game form or flash is needed and were screwed!
