Kinda agreed. Like I said earlier (and watched washed away like a kid with an eraser and a evil math problem) this has saved countless people from april fools related pranks! I have been so involved in the one being played on me, I had no time to saran wrap, doodle, or make mischief in anyway on those around me!

Is this something that can be PM'd? I am just curious as to know what on EARTH is going on.

Back to pressing F5...

iPads don't have an F5 key the last time I checked. You'd probably be better off just hitting the refresh icon ;)

*Glares with unprecedented glaring at you* I swore at 4 am this morning if I ever saw those two letters again I would taunt the person saying them.

You sir, are a gerbil.

I just can't help to think that there really is something that we could be doing all day long and nobody has figured it out yet -- and thus effectively blown our minds.

I keep thinking of notpron and how you have to figure things out to get to the next level. Maybe something like that is going on -- maybe we should be working together somehow, sharing information, going to another site. The question is, what are we missing? A few small things seem to have been changing on the sites throughout the day.

or, well, the joke is still on us. :P Still entertaining either way. TT has brought some life back to the par-tay.

ThunderThighs wrote:Yeah, but you said it like you meant it!

I did :/... At the time. I got REALLY po'd. So your staff thing made you my woot target . Again, how would you like after 2 years of trying to get the Bunnies Ogling Carrots have missed it LITERALLY, by 1 minute over 5 times. I wait for days growing to walrus size sitting in my room secluded from the world for nothing? Sad face..

I wonder if we can add "PM" to the list of filtered words?

Awesome

The fact that you can still post shows that she did, though that doesn't mean it didn't hurt. How would you like to be called a seal kicker?

If that is the case I hope that as soon as its done they let us in on our failure. To quote an unlucky criminal from a famous cop movie "I gots to know"

This is a WYSIWYG day at the woot!

You know what everyone else knows. It had been a difficult day for a Sunday, both for the woot! and in real life.

I have Amazon Prime too, and my entire extended family has me order for them. Around the holidays, I usually apologize to my UPS driver. His response is always the same. He smiles, and says "You are my job security". He refuses all thank you gifts, unless they are my cookies at Christmas, and a cup of hot cocoa.

calebmitchell wrote: I just want to be in the know...*sniffle* *sniff*

There is no "know". We are all just sitting around, joking, laughing, and making merry. You don't know what you have till it's gone, and woot is making us pay for the gripes of the past.

The April fools day joke this year is us, and they will be laughing at screen shots for years to come ^.^ TT is the most active individual we've seen all day, and has brought us to life after long periods of staring at the screen helplessly and unable to type because of the blisters on each and every finger from f5ing for nothing :P Thus, we are actively posting again But nothing to see here except a bunch of dedicated wooters laughing at ourselves ^.^

Fixed it for ya.

not again...

So TT, can you guys tell how many of us are lurking about, hoping against hope?

I imagine interest has waxed and waned, but since the turn of the clock is coming up, I'm curious as to the numbers of visitors.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

Are we just April fools
Who can't see all the danger around us
If we're just April fools
I don't care, we'll find our way somehow
No need to be afraid
True love has found us now

dotdotdot. Your life wouldn't suck so much if you went to the hot girls house :P

OK now I am watching Starship troopers.

I always thought that was ceiling wax!
I could not figure out why anyone would put wax on the ceiling.
I learned something today. Really!
I still don't understand that song, puf.

Well it's approaching midnight eastern and i'm having flashbacks to last night. Funny how nothing has changed in the past 24 hours except for a worn out f5 key on my laptop.

I've quite enjoyed it!

oh no another request for a pm

Case in point. Im not doing anything tonight or leaving this site till 12:05. I will be SOOOOOOOOO made if the Bunnies Ogling Carrots pops up and I don't get it. But I promise not to take it out on TT this time. ;)

You know, your avatar looks quite frazzled. I think it's appropriate in this instance.

MUST STAY AWAKES...

TT is my favorite mod as she introduced Woot! Clue!
now, gatsby on the other hand...

We have had a similar unit to this for a few years. In the Pacific Northwest it doesn't get terribly warm, but it has been awesome for the hot nights when we would otherwise not be more comfortable. Setup is not ideal, but not hard either. I say go for it,for those nights when a little change in coolness is well worth your comfort,

Now you can buy a new razor keyboard during the woot off and speed up that process!

Google Analytics has real-time stats reporting. Somebody at Woot knows exactly how many people (with javascrapt enabled) are lurking about.

Remove those keys from your board X.x. Use a paper clip if unnecessary. After 23 hours of staring at this site, and at least 12 of them staring at silly requests I Let's go fly a kite, where it's clear and bright... to see those letters, you will make my eyes bleed.
